thanks malvi, PPOff (like the new name?)

the problem with NVC operator is, they say they cannot tell if AOS or IV were entered, just that they received mail. Technically NVC received mailed on 11/8. So I'm hoping that them finally acknowledging the receipt means they were entered in the system. They cannot even tell me which package or documents were "received". :angry:

Operator do not have access what's inside the package. They only know that package received or not. Package entered or not. Package reviewed or not.

What is your RFE?

Loto

When Speaking to the operator about it yesterday he told me since we weren't missing info, just an incomplete document that there was no need to wait for the checklist. He said to go ahead and get it ready and send it in. SO I sent in the revised form yesterday (with my original AOS bar-coded sheet). Has anyone else done this? He said it wouldn't delay the processing past the normal delay for entering the info

Now that my husband is a citizen, we are preparting documents to apply to bring his parents here.

SIF is when you enter your information into the sign in page and you get a message like the one I attached in my previous reply.

From what I understand it technically doesn't mean anything, but historically has been a sign of pending completion of your case at NVC.

This is why many people jump for joy when they see the words "Sign in Failed" even though it's a type of failure.

There are much better versed VISA Journeymen here in this forum that may be able to add-to/correct what I just said.
