The AVR NEVER updated right away with any of the steps on our case. It always updated overnight. So I wouldnt say that it updates automatically the instant it's done. That's not true.

I realized that I receive No email or mail notification saying all is well with each packet UNLESS I call (which I do often). I only see something in email when days are past to respond, most times to something I would not have known unless I called.

Calling truly helps to know what is going on with the case. Now I am waiting for case completion and will have to call (dont mind), to hear what they have to say.

Our AOS package was delivered 09/06 and our IV package was delivered 09/07. AVR still says "a packet of information was generated on 09/02..." Guess we are waiting for them to review and give us those magic words. :dance:

When should we start calling to see if they have received our packages? Is tomorrow too soon? :lol:

Yes, tomorrow is too soon. You should give them at least 4-5 business days. If you call them now then you will get the famous "please wait 20 business days before you call us speech". Best of luck!

Woo hoo!!! After all the confusion with the police certificate, one contact with a supervisor and we have CASE COMPLETE. So happy!

Also for those London embassy applicants, I had my medical a couple of days ago and had to have an extra MMR jab. I didn't know before, but apparently we have to have two doses of all the components of the MMR vaccination, which depending on your age, you may not have had automatically. Just to let you all know.

You have to keep in mind it's not up to NVC when they deliver the interview dates. Interview dates are given out as they come available. The only reason they tell you the 2nd week of the month is to keep you from calling everyday. People receive interview dates throughout the month. If anything I would think that NVC assumes that by the 2nd week of the month the consulates would advise them of the open interviews for the following month.
