I got mine exactly two weeks after NVC received my case (a Monday), but it was ready the Friday before! So I'd say try on Thursday or Friday - I bet they'll have some good news for you! good.gif

One more question... (of too many) :-)

I am ready to send the IV packet since Friday but in a dilemma. My wife's passport is being renewed and will take a few more days if not more. So I was thinking sending the packet with copies of the old passeport and she will go to the interview with the new passeport.

Any advice?

Thanks a lot!

Called NVC and they told me that the DS-261 was FINALLY reviewed today!! Hopefully my IV bill will be invoiced very soon so that I can get that part done.

Do people think I may still have a shot at a case complete before the end of the month, and interview in May?

Am I doing something wrong or is the NVC's phone line not working? I've called it before but I just get a busy signal today.

That happens to me sometimes. Just give it a few minutes and try again.
