Hey y'all!

Called NVC for the 1st time this morning, to see if our case was already there. Our NOA2 was August 28th, so thought we'd check that.

Let me tell you this.. after 1h waiting, we got a really crabby unfriendly lady that for sure did not like her job at all.
I mean, I do not want to hear "Yup." or "Whatever, I'm not sure." or "Uhuh." as an answer. Seriously.. ranting33va.gif

Anyway!

They haven't received anything yet. And after hearing her out, she said "Starting from August, the waiting period is 8 weeks for your case to get here. Just call back then."

And she hung up.

Besides her being super rude, which I still can't believe, I am wondering something.

8 weeks seems very long! Anyone else heard about this too? wacko.png

The 8 weeks is just a general response they give to everyone, most people experience less of a wait time than that. Give it at least 2 weeks from your NoA2 and begin calling them, and if they keep giving you the same response call the Dept of State. The DoS will probably know your case number before the NVC will give it to you. In our case I knew it weeks before I received a letter in the mail letting me know the number and that our case was shipped to the Embassy. From there is only took a week to get to the Embassy.

calygirl,

I don't really understand your timeline at NVC, in particular here:

08/01/13: AOS Checklist - Grrr! (16 Business Days)
08/02/13: AOS Checklist Sent
08/07/13: AOS Checklist Received
08/09/13: IV Package accepted (15 Business Days)
08/29/13: AOS Package accepted (17 Business Days)

What does AOS checklist mean? How come it says AOS package received on 7/11/13, but there's another one on 8/29/13?

I'm concerned there's some steps that I missed.

Thanks

A Checklist at the NVC means something in the paperwork was wrong or missing and they want it corrected. It's kinda like an RFE but at the NVC it's a checklist.

So what this says:

  • 08/01 - recieved a checklist for their Affidavit of Support documentation
  • 08/02 - they sent the checklist
  • 08/07 - the mail carrier or courier delivered the checklist
  • 08/29 - the NVC decided everything was correct and accepted the AOS package.
