Another day and no news. The NVC operator told me they schedule interviews the 2nd week of the month which would be this week. But I have seen threads on VJ that said this wasn't true. Is it embassy specific? Has anyone deciphered the true story of how interview dates are set?

The nearness of the finish line makes this last bit of waiting frustrating. :clock: :clock:

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.

called for updates. they reviewed AOS today and I got an RFE!! :angry:

I had based AOS on assets, not income.

Mistake: put "self employed since 2011" but I left income blank. I was supposed to put "$0.00" and I was supposed to submit a business license, letterhead, etc. Right...

Darn it - and I cannot email anything - I have to send hardcopy. :bonk:

Add another week to my dates...

darn darn darn darn darn.....! :crying:
