CSC to TSC to NVC: the Saga continues

[_Erick_ 5]

Yes, very very happy to be at NVC and see things moving along. I do have everything ready. (it's been ready for over a month actually). The only thing I'm short is the police certificate because my husband was told (by the local police station in India)that he has to have a letter asking for it before they give it to him. So that's whats going to hold me up!

Great... sounds like you're on a roll

my basis for expedite was USCIS error and financial hardship resulting from the whole fiasco.

I just got this email response after I requested an expedite:

Dear Sir/Madam:

Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC has completed its processing of the visa petition you mentioned in your letter and has forwarded the petition to the assigned US Embassy/Consulate General for further processing.

Please be advised that further forms and/or fees may still be requested by the US Embassy/Consulate to complete the processing of this case. Any further inquiries should be directed to the assigned US Embassy or Consulate General.

Sincerely,

Sam

I have no idea if this means the expedite was granted or not...now I am just confused.

I hope you know how to track your package from NVC to Embassy in Bogota!? So as in our case, the interview date was set to almost 1 month after the date of reciept at US Counsulate General, you can have a fair idea of when the interview date can be set.

yeah...didnt come up with any packages. It just says No shipments found. Please revise criteria and resubmit. It was supposedly shipped two days ago, either this system isnt foolproof or it hasnt been shipped yet, dunno

Try using dates around the one that yours was supposedly shipped out on. I've heard that works sometimes too.

[xelance 31]

yeah...ive tried many and nothing works. They all say no shipments found, which makes me think that the system is not working correctly

Perhaps trying again tomorrow. What is up with systems not working? First the payment portal at NVC and now apparently DHL's site.

hahaha yeah...technology at its finest!

You should hear my husband (who's a computer programmer) rant sometimes about how USCIS and NVC should update their systems to the newest technologies and how it can speed up this process.

[Never_lose_hope 10]

Just wondering how is possible to call NVC for half hour now and they are keep telling me that the lines are busy? At this hour? :bonk:

I am just dialing again and again and nothing.

I give up, same speech, your call is important to us bla bla bla and after one minute they hang up. Maybe they update the AVR at this point.
