Darnell, you are not the only one that has been trying... sometimes you just gotta give up trying to help and put the energy on someone who appreciates it!

Sorry but provoking people isn't fun, nor is it polite/mature. If we are all stressed out, maybe we're coming in here to relax/get answers/feel BETTER...not worse. And for the record, every time I s

Yes, Darnell is is arrogant, with a touch of conceitedness thrown in. He's straight forward and to the point, he doesn't sugar coat it, to the point that it's sometimes rude. Sometimes that's what peo

Hope you paid it! :P

How's your IV package looking?

Yes, we did! haha! I think this is the only kind of payment I'm most excited about! :lol: Hmm... IV package is all set. I read the IV checklist over and over and I think I'm good to go. I have 2 additional docs here though...but I think I'll just show it at the interview if they ask for it... :-)

Don't worry about pay stubs. Since they're optional, it doesn't matter how many you send. You can just send one if you want. So three is fine!

The guy you got sounds as laid back as the girl I got. She was very down to earth. And after asking how I met my husband and I responded through World of Warcraft, she said that perhaps she should look online for a guy there as it seems that's how everyone is doing it these days. I was like wow, I couldn't believe she said that. Seriously, with her attitude and the way she was dressed, I thought she was going around barefoot, like without a care in the world, you know? It seemed like we were just two friends that hadn't seen each other in years, catching up. It definitely helped with my nerves!

I figured I'd be talking to some stone-faced high and tight ex-marine officer, haha. Nope! They're with the Dept. of State, which I didn't know, so they dress in business casual and chat with you. It's probably also a good way to interview people. You get a better feel for someone when they're relaxed.

Well, the IV bill is invoiced a few days after DS-3032 acceptance, and it takes a day or two for it to appear as PAID. When did you send the DS-3032?

I had my IV package ready to go before I even had a case number! laughing.gif

Yeah, I thought the same thing, that the officer to interview me was going to be like super serious, but was pleasantly surprised to get a laid back officer. Definitely made me feel more relaxed, that's for sure!

Same here..I have all the package ready to go, just need the barcode.

I sent my email on 5/9.

Any idea how long I would have to wait still to get this accepted?
