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!

Thank you!

I call at 11-12 pm and I wait an average of 15 min. What time are you calling?

By the way, you said GMT+1 , but I just looked it up and I believe both France and Spain are on GMT+2 because of daylight savings time :)

Oh no, vaccinations are worst :(, poor children!

Just called (only waited 2 mins in the queue!) and the packages have not yet been reviewed. I know I was perhaps a little too hopeful but I shall be calling back on Friday, just on the off-chance :)

Good luck for your update tonight, make sure you get a super clear internet connection this time :)

Called NVC this evening and was told that my IV package is missing the police clearance certificate. I had asked in my cover letter if my wife could bring it with her to the interview (the certificate was taking too long at the local authorities). Guess that didn't fly. Hope to send it soon and wait another 10 business days!

I sent my IV package on April 30th (received by NVC on May 2nd), so it has been 10 business days.

Hope this helps.

Ok, hopefully you'll hear some good new on friday :)

So, I didn't call today, but I received a "false checklist" via email asking for the AOS packet so now I'm sure that what I heard yesterday was correct, and that the IV packet has been accepted! This was good enough news to hold me off from calling til tomorrow :) Maybe I'll get a case complete!

I am also waiting for my case to complete. I sent both AOS & IV on Thursday, MAY 2 overnighted and it shows they have it on Friday, MAY 3. But I guess they just haven't checked everything yet (almost 2 weeks later). And of course, I called NVC yesterday to check on the status and the customer service woman quoted me the standard 20 business days wait!

Fantastic news!

It looks like the 10 business day rule is well and truly applied!

I really do applaud your patience for waiting til tomorrow :)

Hi,

You should hear something by Friday. Form what I've seen it takes exactly 10 B Days for NVC to review packages, so fingers crossed for you!

I d call in the evening tomorrow if I were you, so it gives them time to review your package during the day.

Let us know the outcome if you decide to call!

THnaks Anil for your info and I'm sorry if you got an RFE.

From what I get, it is up to the NVC reviewer's discretion to approve your file.

I realised that my husband sent our AOS packages with my cover sheet instead of our children's for their cases so I'm anxiously awaiting to see if we get an RFE or not...

Hopefully you get the PCC to them soon, at least you know that this is the only piece of the jigsaw missing :)

I guess it helps that my wife just got her PCC yesterday, so there is no further delay on that count.

I hope you don't get a checklist based on a false document cover sheet. For my wife's case, the NVC payment portal was not working properly at the time, so I created my own cover sheet (without the barcode), and it was accepted. Good luck to you and I hope you hear something soon.

Ok so I just called (1:45 pm Spain time), and I didn't have to wait on hold AT ALL, someone answered immediately... so if there's anyway you can call at this hour it's definitely the way to go.

Unfortunately they said they had still not reviewed the AOS documents :(

What??! But was it not the false check list you got last night? Or was it for the IV package?

I can not remember... I would actually leave it until later on in the day (for them) as it may be picked up and reviewed. Let's hope so anyway!

Yeah, the false checklist that I got was asking for the AOS package, which meant that the IV package had already been reviewed. When I called today I asked again about the IV package being accepted and the rep said yes, so I'm only waiting on the AOS now.
