I cannot even get through on the phone.

Circular transfers until they release the call.

This is really GREAT!!!!!!

I love my country and served it for 20 years in the Government. An organization that actually gains results, in an expedient manner.

However, our immigration process really sucks.

I called until they closed for the business day. Cannot get in.

Lesson learned, send e-mail. The thread above mentioned success this way, I will do that also.

I believe NVC is swamped with petitions now, I am not in denial, just a realist. The wait continues.......... :blink:

Since I haven't been around I guess I am late to say Congrats Williams! :dance:

However, I am pretty frustrated at this point with NVC because I have no idea if my case made it to Vancouver or not. They said it went out on the 14th. However, DHL said they didn't pick any up for Vancouver until the 15th. Darcy and I have both emailed Vancouver to find out if they received and haven't received a reply as of yet. This wait is getting old too!

Ours was supposedly sent to Vancouver last week too but I just emailed them again, and they haven't received it yet.

I love it when you get that male voice that says something about "...how we can serve-ya". :huh:

Devilette predicted that this would happen.... there's an increase in the number of packet 3 questions on the board too.... all goes in waves.

Your salvation is in how fast things will go for you once you get your notice from the Embassy... a little more patience Will.... you're so close!

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

You are correct sir, I got through at 0730 am Central. No record of my case yet. But now I know when to call.

Since I haven't been around I guess I am late to say Congrats Williams! :dance:

However, I am pretty frustrated at this point with NVC because I have no idea if my case made it to Vancouver or not. They said it went out on the 14th. However, DHL said they didn't pick any up for Vancouver until the 15th. Darcy and I have both emailed Vancouver to find out if they received and haven't received a reply as of yet. This wait is getting old too!

Hey Thanks for that. I know all about waiting and really love it!!! :no:
