Hi all!

Just wanted to add myself to this thread as well and say a massive thank you to Saylin and everyone else on here who have unknowingly helped me through this process! Even just reading other people's frustrations/problems has helped me relax!

I'm trying to stay patient through this backlog at NVC. My husband makes fun of me for calling them at least two or three times a week asking for a case number. Nothing yet!

Saylin, how do I add myself to your spreadsheet?

I'm the one that adds people ;) And you've now been added yes.gif

Hope you get your case number assigned soon. Since you're early April, you should be getting it within the next week or so. I'd suggest you start calling once a day now!

Why would it? The country does NOT matter at the NVC stage, between case number and case complete.

Oh ok i got it, don t you think it would be better if you could extend it from Case number to interview? as people here still need estimation from CC to interview date

Nope. You can use the tools here on VJ to find that as those time frames will always differ by country.

Anxious is a better way to describe the feeling! How long do the lab results take in Bogota? Does she get to take them home with her?

Trav's been trying to calm me down about all the flying, and it seems to be working (he says "look, do you claim to have any faith that God's getting us through this? If you do - STOP WORRYING! Do you think He'd get us this far just for nothing? Please relax - you WILL be fine, I JUST know. :) "). Doesn't make me feel any better about being in a huge metal tube 30K feet up, but his calmness makes me feel kinda better LOL.

It's definitely worth it if you call every day and get it from an operator. Could shave off a couple of days.
