Just called NVC, no updates yet. They said they are still waiting on our AOS and IV package, but our lawyer sent it three days ago. Would I know if they have received it, or do I find out only once our case is complete? Congrats to all the CC's today!!!!

Operators will only know of your packages once they've started the review process on them. I'm guessing your packages are in the mail room or somewhere on their way to a reviewing officer's desk.

Nope, still not there. I guess I will call them Monday. Hopefully it should be there by then. So currently is it about 20 days to get case number from the day NVC received or from the NOA2 date?

It's about 3 weeks from NOA2 date. I don't study received dates at all.

Man NVC must be gearing up for the weekend, shoving things out the door left and right!

Now they should do the same thing with interview dates!

Ummm...just got an email from the congressman that we'd contacted with our USCIS concerns. We did NOT contact them yet about NVC...and they've already been following up with NVC about our case, to help out. WHAT?!?!

That's interesting since USCIS is under Department of Homeland Security, while NVC is under Department of State...... as some rude NVC operator reminded me last week, when I called NVC wondering how my son would go around getting his citizenship after he got admitted at POE. I was just asking if he would get a green card first, then when he is here we can apply for his citizenship and which path to use. She said "that is an immigration matter....these are two different departments. We are under the Department of State and you should call the Department of Homeland Security, USCIS about that matter........ I said, "okay!"

I was so excited over seeing our AOS as paid and sending our package in today I sent hubby an email to his work account, it was all gushy and I love you's etc so on. At the bottom in big letters I put I LOVE YOU.

Keep in mind my husband is a heave equipment mechanic, you know the type.. all manly man and macho..

I get a text about 20 min later, "Keep the mushy stuff outta my work email " after that I got a text from his buddy at work "Awwww he wuvs you too!" Apparently the buddy was looking over hubby's shoulder and is now giving him heck over it.

Tomorrow I'll send a big heart picture...

I think the form you sign to get the congressman involved is open-ended enough in its wording to allow them to inquire into different departments on your behalf. What's amazing is that they did! Go congress! <--(first and last time you will ever hear me say this)

That's definitely the right way to file your taxes Glad you didn't listen to the guy. Was he suggesting you file single?

And yes, signatures are AWESOME. I always liked adding people to my spreadsheet that had signatures as it was so much easier.

Ugh, he tried single (and i say, "but I'm married") and he tells me "let me just see if i can get the best for you"... then he tries MFJ (and i tell him, theres no SSN) LOL, he says, i just try... then he FINALLY tries the MFS (the way i told him initially) and he says "but you can't e-file, you'll get a lower refund and u can't get education credits" and i tell him "I KNOW ALREADY!!! Just do it please, and i plan to amend at a later time" LOLOL then he laughs so hard and goes on with the whole "you're the one teaching me today" bit... when i was walking out he said that he'll never forget this experience with me and i told him that I'm a grad student and that its my job to be well-informed about, well, everything... hahahaha, i told him he should pay me to work with him

Oh no no, the congressman was contacting both agencies to help us. We got them in our corner during USCIS phase, and they're keeping an eye out for any situations they can help with it seems through NVC. I'll take it!
