Jeez...every time I come to this thread, it has jumped 2 or 3 pages!!!! Might be because of the influx of people plus the chatty Marchers who are left here :)

Update: I received my husband's civil doc today. No I am just working on translating them (woo...not) and then when I get home I will work some more on that and assembling the package so that it will be all ready to go on Monday. The AVR still hasn't input my AOS package. *Sigh* BUT....that means 20 mocha points for Milena. Heck Milena, I'll give you 50 mocha points. So get some rest and fun shoved in this weekend before next week comes and you get that loverly visa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D I'll take 'em! :D Maybe I can use them to bribe someone at NVC for ya.. Confidentially speaking, of course! :whistle: I am sending you all my prayers and best wishes so you get that Dec interview, Teya! :innocent:

I can barely hold myself not to start calling the USEM from tonight!!! (it's already midnight here, that would be 9hrs on hold... :bonk:) Tho I am debating whether to call them tomorrow or give them by Mon.. :whistle:

Thank you! :)

It usually takes about a week for a decision to be made BUT NVC won't e-mail you - you have to call them!!! Our case was already in the USEM and I already had my interview date when hubby received SNAIL MAIL from NVC that expedition was granted... :bonk: My advice - give it a week or so after you send the request and then start harassing the NVC operators! :whistle: That is, if you don't get SIF in the meantime... ;) Good luck! :thumbs:

True. I'll try as much as I can. Hence is why I posted my timeline just as soon as you asked. :) But a part of me is afraid to render advice because what if someone acts out on them and something goes complete batsh**-awry. Then I'd feel bad. I guess everyone should take all the advice on VJ and still use their intellect before acting on them. :thumbs: :thumbs:

:thumbs: Excellent point.

We all try to give the best advice we can based on our experiences but ultimately it's up to the individual to take responsibility for the decisions they make.

I agree with you Teya. I have to go back like 5 pages to catch up. LOL Anyway, even my packages are not inputted into AVR yet. Its going to be a week tomorrow. I guess my dream of getting SIF by Nov 10 will remain a dream now :( Ah well January interview is the best shot :) Good luck to everyone.

OK, here it is.

It may be useful only to some consulates where it publish the immigrant visa appointment list.

1) Pick some 10 or 20 IR1/CR1 case# from the recent appointment list with the actual interview date.

2) Feed them to NVC AVR system and listen when it was completed or forwarded to the Consulate.

3) Now do a weighted average to compute the average time.

You need patience for this!
