Cause this CSC to TSC fiasco took 3 months from our timelines and we're getting impatient each and every day although NVC is doing their job fairly quickly. Don't worry Monday will come quickly.

Try to take your mind off of this and enjoy your weekend. :thumbs:

I'm no expert on the NVC, in fact we have been looking for advice ourselves (SIF excepted), but with regard to the cover sheets, if you are proceeding with electronic processing, I am pretty sure you have to include the cover sheets with barcode. Some one will correct me if I am wrong.

Why do I just hate weekends and looking fwd. to Mondays.....?!? :whistle:

Ever since my husband sent the I-130 last August, I've come to hate weekends too. Two days lost each week in which USCIS and NVC could have worked. headbonk.gif

thank's val & gary .. another question, is it ok if my husband didn't include the coversheet both aos & IV when he send it to nvc? :wacko:

Um, yes, you were supposed to send the cover sheets in from the payment portal. That's the proof that you paid the bills and that they were accepted by NVC.

I'm no expert on the NVC, in fact we have been looking for advice ourselves (SIF excepted), but with regard to the cover sheets, if you are proceeding with electronic processing, I am pretty sure you have to include the cover sheets with barcode. Some one will correct me if I am wrong.

You have to send in the cover sheets for those doing EP and for those that aren't. Everyone has to include them.

For those of you who grew up in the '90s, the following post may make sense.

My friends and I were huge fans of the video game Mortal Kombat growing up. One of them sent me the following link- I couldn't help but think how APT the song in the video would be if it were to replace the hold music at the TSC :lol:

I'm not sure people would want to speak to an operator after the hold music starts. I'd want to keep listening to it laughing.gif
