NVC Filers - April 2012

[Trav&Shell 83]

Isn t the senator more powerful than a congressman? Who can help better? We have only contacted the Senator not the congressman

I'm not sure - it depends on the official. The way I figure though - if one official gets no results, the other might be able to help you. I also thought a senator would be more powerful, so when the congressman's contact disappeared for a month we tried the senator. The senator did next to nothing, and it turned out the congressman's aide that handles immigration issues was out on an emergency leave. Since then, she's been INCREDIBLE.

Just called NVC to inquire about the IV bill. Gene (sooo nice and sweet) told me that she tried to 'put it through' just now but that the system didn't let her, so she said she'd send something to a supervisor to inquire about it. I asked if there was a problem with MY case specifically since others have received bills since the fee change and she said that as far as she can tell there's no problem at all, just that since the fee change, there's been alot of problems with the system. So this was reassuring for me a little. Hopefully I'll get it soon as well as those still waiting...

Well that's a bit reassuring (although would have been nicer if she'd just been able to spit you out a bill!). Really hope the supervisor can help you!

YaAllah i hope so, because well We were expedited through USCIS and then requested it at NVC then nothing paid the AOS and waiting on the IV bill aint heard jack nothing about the expedite but main concern is paying that IV bill since well even with an expedite it would be worthless without an IV bill. t minus 1 month on my time left on my Indonesian visa.

how funny, I just got an almost identical response from Lisa(?) She said she was going to notify a supervisor and that hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Let's hope all these system glitches are fixed today!

She literally told me she was trying to send it out but it wouldn't allow her... Lol... It's ok, patience is the name of the game apparently...

Frank, I am sorry. Please remove the block on my case so that it shows up in the system. I know after I made fun of you on Friday you plugged yourself in to the computers like R2-D2 and did something to hide my file. I am sorry I take that all back. You are wonderful! I am sure Mrs. Frank thinks you are wonderful too!

I swear I am going to scream if the NVC doesn't get their act together with this IV fee. I call every day and each time i get a different answer. The very rude man I just spoke to said it was sent to supervisor yesterday and it will take at least 10-15 days to get a response. Yesterday they told me I would have it by Friday and it had been sent a supervisor on Monday. Tuesday they said a week. Monday I called and they said I would have it by the end of the day, and I also received an email from the NVC Monday night stating that I need to pay the IV bill and send the ds-260. How the hell can I send the ds-260 if I don't have access to pay the IV fee and they haven't sent it? I'm venting, sorry. But this also means that once they send the bills to all of us they will be inundated with packets from all everyone and therefore backlogged getting the cases through to the embassies. I just want my husband here and I know you all want your SO just as badly ...UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

No. No one is 'more powerful' other than the President himself.

They are both Representatives of their state in the House of Representatives. We have a bicameral House- Congress and The Senant. In order for a bill to become law, it must pass through both houses unanimously.

Did you send this from the same email address you provided to the NVC when they gave you your case number?

yes, my husband called and gave my email to them but when i call and ask them for that information (about my email for my son )so they tell me "we can`t give you that information". what should i do?
