NVC Filers - September 2012

[velrich 50]

I fell asleep and woke up with the keyboard keys indented in my face. I think page 60. So the mystery will just have to stay there.

This will help your stress go to different forums subscribe to what grabs your fancy and help people with their questions. I tell you it helps get the anxiety off and focus on someone else. And you can reflect back when you were first filing or at some stage and you were clueless (I'm only guessing you were clueless, you might have had all this figured out). But go post 10 post. And saying congratulations don't count. Now go go.

Sure was clueless . I read and read some more...the guides, the threads on here....until I was overwhelmed. Took a break, took a deep breath and came back for more.

:help: Now an addict but its funny sometimes. Some persons are here (me included)

See. Now soon you too will be a platinum member. I swear they need a VJ app for my Blackberry. I keep VJ up look at my email constantly.I am hooked. Lord what will I do after the Visa approval.

Jamaican luv, those timelines aren't accurate. That's what all the operators say, but it's usually a lot sooner. I just say thank you, hang up, and call back the next day like nothing happened. So keep updated on your case at least every couple of days. Good luck!

Okay, people, hi! Checking in! Haha I still have no interview date! :'( I am calling the NVC to find out...am I calling the right place or is there a way to get in touch with the consulate itself or whatever? I just feel like it's been a long time but I know it's busy right now! Gosh I'm so excited to get my hubby up here I miss him so much! Let's go NVC let's get those cases rollin'!

Like I said, even though I'm not as updated with the thread as I was while I was going through it, please feel free to pm me with any questions about Mexican Electronic Processing! I'd love to help!

Good luck everybody!

Yeh she said its sooner before the 10 business days but its goin on 2 wks for me. So either my case is just slow period of they dont like me. Lol.

Just got through to the NVC on the first ring but they confirmed nothing has gone out yet (ie no invoicing) Now on Day 12 so looks like the 10-20 business days is going to prove accurate.

I look at previous timelines (from a few months ago) with a 2 day difference with envy!

This is the dumbest question but after the DS-3203 is accepted they pretty much invoice the IV, right? And obviously the AOS is invoiced after getting a case number and IIN -- no other paperwork attached... right?

[Jasontnyc 9]

After the two are invoiced and paid and the AOS and IV package are sent in - next step is case complete and no more paperwork.

You still have te medical and any potential RFEs but no more major paperwork steps.

This extra time has meant both my AOS and IV packages are done and awaiting a bar coded cover sheet :)

Hope you get your interview date soon! The only two places you can call and inquire is NVC and DOS. Calling the embassy is pointless as they don't have your case yet and know nothing about you.

Perhaps Saylin will one day make one as she's a programmer (and currently in a Mobile Apps class as she types this)

Yup exactly

[ullnvrkno 95]

Thanks guys

And people generally are informed via email when something gets invoiced right? I mean is email and quicker than obsessively checking payment portal?

When you say "nothing has gone out yet" you mean in general or just for your case?

I hope you get your AOS and IV bill TODAY!!!! (You actually should -- IDK why it would take any longer...)

[dwheels76 5,468]

Thanks guys

Usually will happen within a few hours of each other. You will see the invoice (if you are an obsessive VJer) than the email comes maybe 1 to 2 hours later.

Eyes on that portal missy. It's coming.

[Darnell 8,478]

Yep. Now figuring out how old I am. I think I want to amend my birth certificate send in a funky fresh one with IV BILL snip snap no age difference. hehe

Happy Birthday ! There's a viet sandwich / pho shop on Travis just across the street from a HCC complex. I say go sit down for a big bowl of vermicelli or pho plus 3 sandwiches, eat till you can't walk. Then hit the bakery for some small cakes.

or hit a day spa on saturday

[Jasontnyc 9]

I have an error on the payment portal .... Here it comes hopefully!
