You can calling NVC and/or DOS every single day to inquire! My case completed on a Friday, I was calling both places the very next Monday to inquire about interview dates. Someone should go read the last few questions/answers in the FAQ ;) ;)

Unless DOS changed the phone options, it should be the same as listed on the first post.

K...trying again

its still the same prompts . I dial the number and dnt even wait but just hit 1 and then 0. Been calling DOS/NVC alternating days since case complete. Only on thursday did I call both offices same day DOS morning and NVC at night. Didn't know my mom was listening( I had it on speaker) and when I was through, she asked didnt you just call this office this morning" ?. I said "no, it was the other office I called". I am glad I did that though cos I would have been pissed at myself if I had postponed NVC till Fri only to find out they were closed.

GOD has been WONDERFUL!!!

I would suggest calling up USCIS and requesting the date they mailed out your case, just to know that your case has indeed been sent out.

My link

this is what we got and this is her email...

"Hi Bryan,

Please the attached fee bills we just received from NVC, and follow the online payment instructions. As soon as you see confirmation of payment for each individual and separate payment (2 payments each that should total $318 per person), please forward to me the Document Cover Sheets (no need to send Receipts)."

honestly... no idea what she means with this. Im supposed to get the numbers then pay? Or do I just pay? :blink:
