Update on case:

Called NVC today after the AVR changed to 'NVC reviewed and found docs missing'. I literally freaked out and called NVC straight away - thought I was going to be sick. The operator told me that it looks like it is false as they are just waiting for my RFE to be reviewed and have had the documents in the system since 20th Dec. She gave me the usual it hasn't been 20 business days yet so I really hope I get SIF by the end of the week.

I was beginning to think NVC had forgotten about me and my husband so I am hoping that change to the AVR is a positive one and that we are almost there.

Congrats to all on your interview dates and latest SIFs. Hope I can join your celebrations soon - time is a dragging for me right now!!

Lilu, yes, that's false RFE. You should be done with SIF and CC in a week time. Also, U.K interview will happen in 1 to 1.5 months time after NVC CC. So, you can expect interview date just after Feb middle.

Good luck!

Thanks for that confirmation - sometimes you need someone to give advice as you get so swelled up with stress about it. I hope to complete within a week also. I am really pleased to see that 1 - 1.5 month wait for UK embassy seems pretty standard on VJ, a Feb interview would make my day!!

Your predictions have been correct in the past, therefore here's hoping Loto!! I trust in you!
