Once you called that number, you pressed 1 and then 0?

I hit 1 and then 0 as soon as the recording started. Now it is just ringing... ringing.. ringing... ringing... with no answer.

Update: Oh good lord. The ringing is this system's hold music! This is going to get annoying fast.

Update2: Got a nice lady. She said NVC still has it but it should be sent over "Soon". I'll call them again Monday.

Okay, so I just tried calling DOS myself. Usually, a man's automated voice is supposed to come on immediately and blabber on for a few minutes with information. It took about 30 seconds, but it finally got through to the automated system. Just put up with the ringing for a bit! Once the voice starts, then hit 1, and then 0.

Yepper, it worked this time, the key is to hit 0 and then 1 after the automated voice. NVC didn't send it yet to Casablanca. Guess next week will be eventful. :thumbs:

Unless Morocco is different, the case won't be sent overseas until an interview date has been assigned.

Another note about DOS: they'll tell you first the case gets sent out abroad, and THEN an interview date is assigned, but in 95% of cases, it's the other way around (NVC assigns the date and then ships it abroad). Confused the hell out of me when I was at that stage cause I didn't know who to believe, NVC or DOS. So, just wanted to add that so others aren't confused!

I won't be confused, now I know that when ever Foobaz123 gets his, I'll get mine, usually about 45 min difference... :rofl:

That's what I did once I learned how interviews are assigned. Did the same thing when NVC operators gave me "time frames". The entire time, I was like no0pb.gif
