Damnit, I just emailed my AOS packet, and I used staples! I could have sworn I read SOMEwhere in my pile of instructions to "make sure tax transcripts are stapled in order" or something like that. Oh well, I hope they have a staple remover. On the bright side, AOS packet is MAILED! :D

Thanks Greg! I called the Embassy to see what they would say and the operator told me that I was calling during the right time (2-3 p.m. only) but that the CO's were in a meeting. #######?! So to call back tomorrow (???). I said, "But, I thought you didn't answer the phone tomorrow, it is Saturday." The operator then said, "Oh yeah. Sorry. I meant Monday." I asked her if there was any possible way she could help me and nope. That do the operators do at the Embassy anyway? Good grief!!! I did however receive something from the NVC saying that they forwarded my case to the Embassy. Thanks NVC!!!

Nice kikapoo! Sailing right along!!

I hope everyone has a splendid weekend and is able to take a break from the NVC madness.

Thanks! I did the hard copy too. Also I emailed the template once again today after receiving

DS-3032 kit via email.

Art, I did everything, templated letters, Supervisor Sue, hard copy, etc. I got the same response email you did when they were not ready to accept the DS-3032. I eventually got my DS-3032 email three days after paying my AOS. I bet you will now get approval on it.

Hi all. Got SIF today and called NVC. AVR said they reviewed the case and some info is missing. They have sent instructions in mail. I thought SIF meant almost cc. Has anyone had the same experience; to get SIF and RFE? Please advise. Thank you.

Hi Timeline! The only way to know for sure what is going on is to call the NVC tomorrow and speak to an operator. There is always the possibility of getting a false RFE or a false SIF so the operator is always a better idea of what is happening than the AVR. Good luck! I hope that the SIF is real and that you don't have any RFE's. :)
