NVC Filers - March 2012

Wow, that's impressive! Bookmarking that URL in case I need to share it with anyone here!

One more thing that came up with that PDF editor: if you need to undo a change you just made, hit "Del" at the top of the screen. It's in a little box just above your document. That's the equivalent of the "undo" button

One thing I noticed, a lot of people post NVC related questions outside of this thread. Should they be coming here and asking or should they stay where they are? My question being is it better to create new threads when you have a question? I find coming here and asking a question to be much better answered.

If it's a simple question, people should be posting in here, so as not clog up the forum with threads with the SAME question. Every day I see new threads all asking questions that can be found in here or in previously posted threads. I want to pull my hair out at times

Now, if the question is more complicated, then yes, it's better to post a new thread. There have been some questions here that I have no idea what the answer is. That's when I don't reply as I don't know.

Thank you,

May2012 Visa bulletin retrogress to 15th,Aug2007, If my case completed in April 2012, can i get my interview? my Priority date is 29th,Aug2007.

This is for CR/IR-1 Visas.. you might have better luck with an answer asking in the forum for EB-2 visas.

Unless you click something else trying to figure the thing out.. then it only allows you to delete the most recent ooppssie!

But still a great program, I'm having fun playing with it

LOL!!! I couldn't make it unselect my ooopsies, so I didn't notice that bit (that was probably good because I'm a mad clicker LOL )

So I managed to illicit some information from a lovely lady called Irene at the NVC today.

Essentially as a rule they tell people they only schedule during week 2 of a month, because they take each month as it comes and dependant on load for a particular embassy they do start earlier, but as ever it's fluid and the only rule they have is that it does start on the 2nd week on the month.

No real help- but she was empathetic and told me to keep callin and asking, incase.

Again, you are in the wrong forum. You need to ask in the forum about employment visas.

You are in a thread discussing Spousal Visas.

Hmm, that's interesting BUT... I've seen people get interview dates scheduled in the first week of the month... not just the second week and onward.

Friend,

It is my spouse visa, I got my GC on February2012, filed for my spouse GC through CP, since she is in India.

Thank you for you quick response.

I called NVC this morning... Bob told me the same thing, that my case is in the building but not scanned yet... SIGH... he told me to call middle of next week (but that seems too far away)... he was really nice though... i record my phone call time/date/operator... i know which one's are rude and which ones are kind (I have nothing better to do, despite work and school)

Did you tell them you are now have a green card and an LPR and not here on a work visa?

If not, you need to ASAP

If your case is in NVC all you can do is wait for the invoice then pay it and send in your forms and documents. Some people move faster than others. It depends on your country.

I did the very same thing! I still have my "NVC Call Log" spreadsheet

I guess that depends if they start at the tail end of the month prior... by the time they get their interview dates and communicate it out?

Who knows :-) Essentially though it could be all month long, I'm just happy for a bit more info and helpful operator!

Thank you,

yes i told them that i am on LPR status, applied for my wife's GC.

waiting to pay the fee & submit DS-230, all documents are ready, but no progress on NVC side, still it is showing NOT INVOICED, but i got the INVOICE number last week.
