Yeah, all this waiting is driving me crazy too.. I called on friday and also an hour ago, and they said the documents have not been reviewed yet.. :/ I also said I wanted to ask for an expedite, and I think the guy SNORTED into the phone.. but maybe I'm just being paranoid. At that point I passed the phone over to my husband so he could explain, and we were told to send an email (we have a good reason, which I don't want to get into right now).

When are you going to call?

Im sorry they re taking so long to review your IV package...

Im thinking of calling everyday from Wednesday. The more I wait the more Ibecome paranoid and think Im going to get a checklist!

How long does Spain take to.assign you an interview? Are you aiming at getting to the States for a particular date?

I know It takes 5 weeks between CC and the interview for Paris, but Im aiming at arriving in July. I m a teacher and all the teaching jobs are assigned during that month, before school starts in August :/

Yeah, I'm worried about a checklist too, though I don't see any reason why we would get one, you just never know!

I don't have much data to base my estimate on since there are so few records on filers from spain and they stop updating their timelines once they get NOA2! But, recently a Spain filer got an interview assigned 3 weeks after case complete, for a date 5 weeks later. In total it was 2 months from Case Complete till interview. So, I'm expecting a mid-July interview. I'm not aiming for a particular date, but it would be nice to be there before July is up.

Well if it only takes 5 weeks till the interview after your cc then it's looking pretty good for you, I'm sure you'll arrive in July! :)

Well up until yesterday they kept saying that they hadn't reviewed anything yet, and to wait 20 days. I called just now, and my internet connecting was really failing so I had a very hard time understanding what the operator was saying to me, but I heard him saying they were waiting to receive the affidavit of support (which I already sent). And then I asked if they had already reviewed the immigrant visa documentation and I believe he said Yes. I asked if it had been accepted and he said yes. But then again, it was all so distorted and broken that I'm not 100% sure. Tomorrow I'll call again from hubby's computer which has better internet reception.. but yeah, I think at least the IV packet was accepted so that's something! :)

By the way, they don't tell you if they've received it or not, since it doesn't appear on their system until it was already been reviewed.

Buy yeah, go ahead and call tomorrow anyways just to check.

Very happy to hear that your IV package is more than likely accepted!!

What time do you usually call the NVC (GMT+1)? I seem to always call when they are the busiest and end up queuing for a minimum of 25 mins...

We're just back form our doctor who s prescribed ys 3 vaccinations each (including my children!) in order to be up to date... Ouch!
