NVC operator almost gave me a panic attack

[Ulmus 4]

This is just a warning to other VJers so you don't start hyperventilating like I did.

Back story: We sent in our RFE response and it was received on November 9th (co-sponsor in the US) and some on the 15th (sponsor living abroad with me, took longer). We also sent in the IV package and it was received on the 7th of November.

Today: I called the NVC asking about case complete. The operator told me that "yes there has been a review" and "no the case is not complete" followed by "there is checklist you need to follow". I got off the phone thinking some pretty dark thoughts. I calmed down and called back again and asked this second operator when the review had been done and she told me the 21st. I then asked what had been reviewed and she told me the visa application. I asked her to check if there had been any review of the I-864s sent in and she said no.

Everything the first operator said was correct, that there is a checklist and there had been a review but put in the right context it wasn't so bad. Don't trust them on their word when they tell you things, dig deeper.

I got three checklists from the NVC, all due to NVC error. These things are annoying, but hardly ever a reason for great concern.
