Hi everyone. Earlier today, I called NVC to check if there's any progress with our visa app. Not that I was expecting great news but I figured I'd ask anyway. When I got through to an agent, she informed me that there isn't any progress with our case. However, she seemed a bit irritated that I had called NVC several times now and told me that it takes 10-15 business days for them to review our case. Is it ok to call NVC often? They seem to have a record of how many times I had called. Would it hurt our case if I do call often and keep following up our case?

It won't hurt, and it won't help.

I used to call twice a day, never had any problem.

Also I believe the telephone operators are not the same people who process your case. I don't see how it will hurt your case.

They may get annoyed but it is still their job to answer inquiry.
