It looks like they're getting better with their timeline in issuing case numbers. I'm hoping for a mid-April case #, case complete mid-June!

BOS_LHR, what's the interview time frame for UK interviews? Do you know, better yet, what's the best thread for that?

Like the NVC thread, there's a monthly thread for interviews to track timelines. Dwheels will make the May thread tonight :D There are 3 UK filers waiting for an interview date right now; today began the scheduling for May slots. Depending on the time of month you get case complete, it takes 1-2 months for an interview in London. For a July interview you'll need a case complete at the end of May or early in June.

What a relief! Thanks for the info! Do you speak from experience or how did you find out on VJ?

Just lots and lots of time spent reading and learning here for the past 16 months!

Well its just a crazy process, in my humble opinion. Way too much red tape, way too much nonsense, and its because of all that red tape and nonsense that we all have to wait 704 years just to get some

Anyone had the following error while trying to file for an e-request:

  • "Routing could not be determined due to an invalid receipt number"

I know the number is definitely correct: MSC + 10#.... :(

Upon reading the hard-copy, I found that NVC made a mistake and emailed me the wrong checklist. I contacted a supervisor at NVC and she instructed me to write a letter of explanation to accompany my "real" checklist response. She also told me this may not help me and that we may be back in line. Lord help us!
