NVC Filers - August 2012

OK. I sent IV package on the 16th.

How long does it take to get case complete and interview date?

Just got notified that I passed a rigorous recruitment process and have been selected for a position in ... POLAND!!! Now what do we do?

I wouldn't have to start for 3-4 weeks to prepare for the move, but I don't know what to do about the visa process. We've already spent 7 months processing all the paperwork and are in the final stages. Can we still continue with the process?

If we haven't received our interview date for the embassy in my husband's home country (Senegal), can we request an interview at the embassy in Poland? If we wait for the interview in his home country and he gets approved, how long will he have to make POE in the U.S.? Will he need to do another medical exam before POE?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm scared to call the NVC with the questions for fear of further delaying the process. Maybe I'll give them one more week to schedule the interview before I start bombarding them with all these questions.

Any suggestions would be helpful!

If I were you, I'd just continue with the interview process as normal and get that visa! Focus on what you'd have to do afterwards. There might be a change of address or something like that. Remember once you have the visa you can go to other countries, but to keep it you can't be out of the U.S. longer than 6 months. Good luck and congratulations!

It's currently taking around a week to review packages. As for the interview date, it varies by country.

For your questions, typically, you have 6 months to do POE. The expiration date is on the visa that'll be attached in the passport. He won't have to do another medical as long as his visa is valid. You might be able to extend the expiration date with the embassy, but I'm not quite sure. The questions you have would be better asked of the embassy, not NVC.

How long would you be staying in Poland to work?

Thanks! It's difficult to ask the embassy, rather to get an answer. Whenever I send them an email, they just refer me back to NVC because they have not received our case yet. Until they have our case I don't think they will be able to tell us anything. And who knows when they will have our case.

It's a one year contract in Poland with the possibility of renewal.

My husband was asking me if we can send more evidence with the NVC papers since its going to the embassy anyway, or is that a big no no, and i should mail the rest of evidence i have to him?

I would think the embassy can answer general questions, but oh well. Wait until your case gets to them, then try asking again.

And wow, a year is awhile. You need to discuss with your spouse what you want to do, either have them come to the US with their visa and be separated for awhile, or they move to Poland with you, messing up the regular visa process.

Yes, you can front-load your application with the IV package.

I am beginning to think NVC hates me now. 1 week since case# and still not invoiced. Someone who got case# day before me invoiced and shows paid, package in mail. Good grief. Here I go again. :crying:

What are the best times to call NVC? I'm tired of getting the same two operators and the same "ok, ma'am, we got this on Monday -- you need to give us 20 biz days."

I always called at 5pm Eastern time and got through within 5 minutes.
