Hi Erick, my case is still pending at NVC. I'm back to torture once again

Thank for the prompt reply. Yes, I was one of the 36,000.

My wife's file has been completed at NVC and interview has been scheduled on 06/28/2011 at Bombay office. My wife's file was completed on 04/07/2011 but the interview date is after more than two months.

Does anyone know how to expedite at the local consulate?

Thanks,

We have contacted our embassy and explained them about our situation, the mess from TSC and NVC and the fact that we will like to celebrate my birthday together. We asked them if is possible to reschedule our interview date and they told us the possible dates and we picked one You should try the same. Best of luck.

Can anyone please tell me after I scan all my documents how do I make them into 1 file? I don't have adobe so I don't know how to do this? Or even though I opted for electronic processing can I express mail my packages instead?

If you don't want to get Adobe, you might be able to try one of the other PDF programs like CutePDF or FoxIt. But I don't know how either of these work as I simply downloaded Adobe awhile ago as it's the best.

And no, if you opted in, you cannot send your packages by snail mail. If you want to snail mail them, you'd have to opt out.

i scanned them all separately, so now how do I make them 1 big document?

I don't know how you make them into 1 document unless you're using Adobe. Each program is different. I've only worked with Adobe and I know how to combine files on that program. If you don't want to get that program and decide to go with another one, then I can't help you.

If you select all the docs from the source file, then you print them into a pdf format, you can have them in a single file.

Good luck

What kind of police certificate do we need for the DS-0230? Do we need fingerprinting done or can we go to our local police station and get a police certificate?

You only need fingerprinting done if you've committed a crime. If you never have, then just a regular, non-fingerprinted certificate will do. You can go to a local police station, the RCMP, or a private agency. Up to you.

We got checklists from NVC saying they don't have any of the stuff we sent. I'm not sure if that means they still haven't gotten to our actual emails or if we somehow did it wrong when we sent them (I wasn't able to figure out how to save all of my documents into one pdf file so I sent multiple pdfs, though my husband's AOS was all in one file). I guess we'll call tomorrow and try to figure it out, but I'm pretty frustrated. It's like, seriously? No part of this process is going to go smoothly?

I've seen a lot of people getting RFEs for packages that they sent, but NVC is saying they haven't received them yet. You can always try to re-send the packages, but it's probably because NVC just hasn't gotten to them yet.

How long after emailing the AOS will they approve it?

Usually it takes 2-3 weeks but don't quote me on that Did you send the supporting documents for the IV?
