Just on contacting the NVC to inquire about whether interview is scheduled, was told not yet and also that scheduling of August interviews in Mumbai, India has already completed and closed 2 days ago, on Tuesday.

Could this be misleading info from the agent? Has any VJ members received a interview email for Mumbai in the last week or so?

Yes I think instead of sending it Eastward they sent them west and they are doing an around the world tour. Good grief. Unreal. Wish there was tracking on these like when they send off to embassy. Well today is business day 15. What will they say now. I think I will wait for 11pm EDT.

I make above poverty line, only one at the household at this point and will be sponsoring only one person (spouse on CR1). I was a student on my 2010 return (thus no income), have sufficient income on 2011 and 2012 IRS tax returns. can I file 864EZ or I need 864 for AOS ?

Call up NVC asap and get those email addresses given to an operator. If they don't have your email addresses on file, they're gonna snail mail all correspondence to you, which takes significantly longer than email does.

Yes, it's misleading. Did the operator even check this or just started spouting off this nonsense? They schedule interviews all month long.

If you qualify for the I-864EZ (there's 3 requirements), then by all means, fill that form out instead the I-864. It's a much shorter form, thus easier. My husband and I did the I-864EZ and, as it says in the name, it was easy.

What are all of your experiences with calling NVC? Any time in particular when it takes less time to get through? Early morning? Late night? I feel like every time I call it takes longer and looooooooooooooonger.

I always called at 5pm EST and got through in under 5 minutes. I assumed this was because this was the time when everyone on the east coast was getting off work and heading home.

I've also heard bright and early in the morning (right when they open) and really late at night (right before they closed) are also very good times to call.

Thanks to both! I will try what you say, although with the time difference it might be a bit harder from here. NVC is east coast, right? NH?

Yup, NVC is east coast in New Hampshire. What's the time difference from where you are?

Wellthe lady was nice. No arrival of case. But as she said (at least she can count). TOMORROW is 15 business days (Is this now in the constitution they will not arrive before 15 days or something). She said call monday or early next week.

So in VJ speak that means call later this evening. I figure what 9pm EDT or 9:55pm.. They close when again. Goodness.

She was funny when she said "well tomorrow is 15 business days. I go aughhhh she laughed and said I know bureacracy. See even they know. I know they got to just hate the can speaech. It was nice to get a person and not a cyborg.

Anyway back to work. I will try and focus.

Yeah, some of the operators are actual human beings and do speak truth. Others just read off a script and are a cyborg as you say.

They close at midnight (eastern time), so call again close to that
