As I've seen elsewhere, you will be able to log in tomorrow. Apparently NVC is in the process of uploading your information and you cannot get into that portal while it is in that mode. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the info..i was a bit shocked and bit confused from the prompt that says my case is in the process of termination..thanks for this thread and to saylin, this is helping me alot...especially when i lose hope... :star:

First off, have you been calling NVC and DOS every day?

Have you looked at other Haiti cases? Does it normally take this long?
