SIF--and something for others to avoid

[Done--Really 331]

We all wait for that day that we get the red SIF message--and that was just a few minutes ago, but I want to tell you about our wait at NVC so others can avoid oour problem.

It all started when we didn't file 2010 taxes, whhich is no problem at all so long as you submit the IRS automatic extension form--which we did. But we went one srep further which temporarily messed up everything--we also sent our preliminary 2010 tax forms because we thought it would provide additional evidence of our financials, and that's where the problems started.

The original reviewer didn't understand that the 2010 taxes had never been filed, and insisted through an RFE that they had to be used rather than 2009 on Line 25. We talked to a supervisor who said no problem, and sent them back for review a second time and the second reviewer made the same error.

So the next time around we asked for a supervisor to call us with our package in hand, and after a two minute conersation last night at almost midnight, he told us everythig would be complete by next Wednesday, and the SIF was here when I signed on this mornig.

And he said there was no reason to have sent the preliminary 2010 taxes--Boy, do I agree with that. So, instead of getting through NVC in a coupel of weeks, it was closer to five, but we are alive and hope that our little tiny problem can be avoided by others.

Alls well that ends well...congratulations
