NVC Nightmare....!

Got case complete email, sign in fail on payment portal on May 16th.....AVR said case complete and called NVC and talked to an operator who confirmed case complete. Me and my wife were on cloud nine on May 16th.

May 17th, I called the NVC operator for an interview date. She tells me, after case complete during final documents review, they did not accept what I had submitted for my wife's unavailability of birth certificate and they are sending me an RFE.

Got the RFE in email and working on it now....!

RFE after case complete....! Grrrr.......! :bonk:

It won't ever say 'accepted'. It just stays as 'complete'. The only way to know if it was accepted is either through the AVR, an operator tells you, or the IV bill appears.

Yes, I remember the AVR tell me that I was sent a checklist to complete ....and I was freaking out .... but, it was just telling me that I still needed to send in the IV Packet. Hopefully it's the sa

Man! So sorry to hear that... that's a real let-down! I guess it's not 100% complete until you have an interview letter in hand. It's a shame it has to be this way.

For me, I called on Friday and the operator did not see my case, so he notified a supervisor. Called again today, and they just indicated that a supervisor was alerted and inquiring on the whereabouts of my case, and that it could take several days for them to respond to that! Augh! :help:

Oh well... praying for you to have a quick resolution to your RFE...! Hopefully it won't take them long to wrap it up!

My wife's interview was today... APPROVED!!! She asked about picking up the visa tomorrow but, the Consulate said to wait for approximately 2 weeks to receive it in the mail :( Kind of a bummer because our 1 year wedding anniversary is next week.... but hey, we've waited this long... what's two more weeks, right?

CONGRATS!!!

:dance::dance:

Today when I called the operator I FINALLY found out what was causing the operators to give me different answers each time I called. Apparently the person who reviewed my IV packet with the civil documents put an abbreviation that the operators didn't know about. Either the reviewer misspelled the abbreviation or the operators are not informed of that particular abbreviation. The operator had the guts to tell me that finally. He saw the civil documents in the system so he put one and one together and figured out that my IV packet was reviewed and that there was nothing wrong with it. Now I just need my RFE for the AOS to be reviewed and it has been 3 weeks for that allready.

I called NVC on Friday 5/20/11 and was told that my case was complete and waiting to be assigned a Interview date. I also got a SIF starting on Friday morning. However, today I received an email RFE that my Police Clearance certificate was missing. In my DS-230 submission I had mentioned that PCC is generally available only after IV approval (from my wife's passport office in India) and my wife will be bringing that to the interview. I was told by three different operators over a one week period that this was OK. Should I call them and have them reconsider? Should I email them the response? Has anyone else gone through this situation?

Enjoying ur time here Saylin??? Hope my wife gets to be here soon too! :crying:

Wow, that's disappointing after hearing CC. What did you submit for your wife's unobtainable birth certificate?

We had to submit something in liu of my unobtainable birth certificate too.

I haven't heard anything since I submitted the IV supporting documents. I tried calling NVC last week, they kept telling me to wait 20 days, which probably means that they are not reviewing my case yet...and I tried the AVR system this morning, the message they gave me was that they sent out an information package on May 10th.
