NVC Filers - May 2013

[speedwell 224]

Darnell doesn't read PMs

His PM box is FULL. You can't even send him PMs.

The NVC assigns the interview dates, yes, but they do so based on the schedule sent them by the embassy. You have to contact the embassy to make a change, because they're the ones who have the schedule.

Thanks for the links, I read the wiki Link. I will for sure call the NVC Monday and speak to a Supervisor....I'm starting to doubt our lawyer now too. Everything up to this point has been amazing and fast. Now we have seem to hit a road block.

Thanks again for the information, I hope we get this straightened out on Monday.

Good morning! I received an email from the NVC @ 8am this morning that they have accepted our EP request! And I then sent in our scanned documents package via email once again! All of this was done before 9am this morning. I then called my Lawyer and had some words with her....she still won't take ownership for her mistake and blamed it on the NVC. She claims they sent the acceptance to her request, however I was quick to tell her that MY request was at the bottom of the email!!! Now looking back we should of done this on our own and saved a lot of $$$$ but hindsight is 20/20. We were just so emotional when I was denied entry which started this whole nightmare, and didn't think we could take this on alone.

Now we are praying that we don't get a check list and get a case complete soon!

Thank you so much for your help this weekend, without you we would still be trying to figure out what's going on. I am going to call the NVC tomorrow to see what they are showing after sending everything in this morning.

Thanks again!!

You have to wait for the interview to be assigned. Then wait the approx 7 days for your file to get to the consulate. Then contact the consulate and request an earlier date.

It can take a while for the acceptance email for OPTIN. Mine took 8 days. Seemed like forever. Now it seems like forever ago.

So basically, I should get the interview date, then email the embassy immediately.

Based on their current response time, they should get to it when they get my file

Yeah full because he doesn't read them

Can somone point me in the direction of darnell's posts about requesting an earlier interview date?

I tried to do an advanced search on it, but I'm coming up with his various posts on political or off topic stuff lmao

Well, first off, you need to get an actual interview date assigned first. Then, the case has to be sent abroad to Montreal. Once you've confirmed with DOS that the consulate has your case, then you can see if you can get an earlier date. You can do this of two ways with Montreal:

1. Contact them through the form that was linked earlier. But, this might be a hit or miss as Montreal isn't exactly very efficient at replying to those inquiries correctly.

2. Re-schedule through the CSC site. Through this method, you can choose EXACTLY what day you wish to interview (compared to method 1 where they may assign you another "bad" day to interview). Only downside with this method (and with the above) is that there may not be a "good" day to be interviewed, so keep that in mind.

How long does NVC take to review AOS and packet IV docs?, our AOS packet reached NVC on 05/03 and packet IV on 05/10. I called NVC today and the representative told me neither of them have been review yet?

Usually just 1-2 weeks. I'm thinking your AOS should be reviewed this week, and likely your IV next week. Keep calling once a day, you should be hearing something different (than them not starting the review) soon.

Woohoo, congrats on EP acceptance!

Have you called NVC yet to check the status on your case?

Well, that was short notice! Good luck though!!

Back in my day (2 years ago), it took 16 days for my optin acceptance

[NikLR 13,227]

Well I'd say yes except until they have your file, they'd probably be like, "we don't know who the heck your husband is..."

Oh yes, I know I have to wait, I was just trying to get linked to past information so I could save it out should I need it later.

CSC, site. Hmm... I'll have to look more into that if I get screwed.

Any day is fine, it's more a time frame that is bad because of my sister's wedding.

Although, a monday would really rock since then I only have to take (1) day off work

The CSC site is where you sign up for Loomis. Here's the link in case you don't have it yet: http://usvisa-info.com/en-CA/selfservice/ss_country_welcome

That's what I meant by "bad" or "good" days, if it's within your time frame or not. Hopefully, you get assigned a "good" interview day from the start and don't have to worry about this at all!

Ty, didn't have that yet!

[Novembro 1,763]

So, the NVC has our application as of last week. Should I keep calling for a case number or wait for them to contact me or my husband?

You're welcome

If they have your petition now, then definitely keep calling once a day as now is more important than ever.

If you don't call and if they don't have any email addresses on file, then they'll have no choice but to snail mail the first package out with the case numbers and this can take weeks to receive. You definitely want to be on top of things right now, so that as soon as a case number is assigned, you can give over both email addresses to receive all packages from NVC by email.

you needed to wait to optin AFTER you recieved the DS-3032. That's how I read the guide for your EP.

Now I know, but what should I do next?
