Not idea. Probably instantly. But I never checked the status right away.

Thanks Loto :) I pray that you get your interview date really soon so you can book your tickets to chennai. (F)

I called NVC just now to see if MY AOS packet was entered in their system and the lady who came on line sounded familiar (her accent) and when I gave my case information, she says I know you sir because I remember you from your email and your spouse's :)

We had a little bit of a chit chat and obviously nothing useful came out :P

I said hope to talk to you sometime soon before hanging up and she laughed and said she hopes so too ;)

I am sure you might have had a repeat or so since you keeping calling NVC judiciously :D

Glad guys - svenkatc and malvika - you are off of your court now :thumbs:

Thanks Loto :) I pray that you get your interview date really soon so you can book your tickets to chennai. (F)

Just made a call to NVC (today's due) and was told that my ####### is still in the final stage of sending to the Consulate.

Advised me to call on Monday. If I don't call tomorrow, I'll miss NVC for a day, so I will call them just to say "hello".

Tomorrow's call

Operator: How can I help you, Sir?

Me: You don't have to.

Operator: What?

Me: Yes I mean it.

Operator: Then why did you call us?

Me: Just to check your cat is fine at home. Also to know you have turned on your heating on at home.

Operator: I don't have a cat. I like parrots and I have one. I feed it regularly. Also, heat is on.

Me: Do you teach your parrot how to say "I miss you 6 to 8 weeks"?

Operator: Normally I will be home except my vacation. Sometimes I take long vacation too. So, it is a good idea to teach it "I miss you 6 to 8 weeks"

Me: Then who taught you to say "Your case will be completed in 6 to 8 weeks"

Operator: It is my boss.

Me: I see. So, I think your boss also has a parrot at home.

Operator: In fact, he has two of them.

Me: :angry: :angry: :wacko: :wacko: :wacko::angry: :angry:

Me: God bless you all and hanging up the phone!
