See, the email comes quickly after the interview is scheduled, less than a day. No need to get crazy on the phone with DOS weirdos :lol:

Well, for me, it took more than 12 hours to receive the email after I found out the date over the phone. It all depends on their email servers and how clogged up they are.

LoL...

It's 0507 there... She'd be groggy anyway... Plus.. I wouldn't get to see her face :D

That's the best part ;)

Haha, I think there's a handful, but they're a talkative bunch!! But that's good as I love threads with a lot of action :)

And oh no. I'm going to have to fire you. You're no longer my advertiser :P

Attention everyone! I have an opening to advertise/promote the NVC March thread. Any takers?

My IV Bill was generated yesterday at around 4:30 PM, I logged into the Portal Made Payment and today at around the same time, it cleared and it currently shows as "PAID"

About 5 minutes ago, I get an email from NVC titled (CHECKLIST COVER LETTER) and it is asking me to pay for the IV Bill ... What in the world is going on?

Why does the system generates a "CHECKLIST" for something that they supposedly haven't received when it was barely generated 24 hours ago and paid right away? (Remember it sais "PAID" as of 2 PM this afternoon)

You have to keep in mind, you don't receive an email the instant it's generated. There's a few days lag. It's like this with all emails sent from NVC.

MMM Thanks for the clarification. It is the first time in my life I have heard of known of "e-mails lagging behind a few days." I'm sorry but I just find that concept kind of funny :rofl:

Are you saying that the email could have been sent few days ago but stays in their special "NVC-queue"? and gets sent some time later?

but in this case GoingCrazy2012 just got the invoice yesterday and paid yesterday and shows as Paid today.

also if IV bill was only invoiced yesterday and GoinCrazy2012 hasn't even mailed the IV package yet, so how can NVC system send checklist for IV payment?

In anycase.... now i've confused myself :lol:
