Hi everyone! I haven't been on here much the last week or so, but wanted to pop in and say...

CASE COMPLETE!!!

I had called NVC last Thursday and nothing, and then called today as a matter of form, not expecting anything, because we hadn't hit the 3-week mark from when our checklist materials were received. But it turns out our case was completed on Friday!!

Now we just wait for our interview date - hoping we get it soon, so my husband can give notice at work before the 30th.

Thanks and good luck to everyone on the forum. And special thanks to Saylin for all your hard work and putting up with all our crazy questions!

I have a regular update and an interesting one following the regular:

Regular: IV Bill showing paid and DS260 now available online for filling out!

Interesting: I just received an email from the NVC stating they put my AOS packet in their system. However the specific packet they are referring to is the one I sent on March 6th which was before I received confirmation I was enrolled in EP. So I guess you dont have to wait for the EP confirmation to send stuff it.....

USCIS

April 9, 2013: NOA 1

Nov. 18: Transferred to Texas

Dec 9: NOA 2

Dec 17: NOA 2 Hard Copy

NVC

Jan 17, 2014: Case received by NVC

Feb. 25: NVC Case# Received

Feb 28: DS-261 Submitted

March 3: AOS Bill Invoiced & Paid

March 6: AOS Bill showing paid

March 6: AOS Packet sent EP (I did not know at the time but 3 attachments were JPEG's, only PDF's are accepted)

March 12: EP enrollment confirmation received

March 13: Resent AOS packet email as I am confused if they received original since EP enrollment confirmation was received by me after AOS was sent.

March 14: Resent AOS packet as I realized previous two packets had JPEG's in them. This is my first correct packet with all PDF's.

March 17: Resent AOS packet for the 4th time with all PDF's and finally got a confirmation of receipt. This one was the only one sent during "business hours"

March 20: IV Bill Invoiced & Paid

March 24: IV Bill Shows Paid and DS260 Available online

March 25: Supervisor states AOS packet approved

March 27: DS260 & Supporting Documents submitted

April 18: False checklist for IV Packet

May 4: Checklist requesting proof of eligibility (passport or BC). Wrote a nasty note back with a passport attached since they already had both as its part of the IV Packet duh

And thanks to all who wished me luck!! About an hour after my job interview this morning, I got a call from my recruiter saying the company wanted to hire me :) I of course accepted! I start Wednesday :dancing: And being that it's a full-time job, I'll only be able to check VJ after work from then on :P

Woah! I knew you'd get it! I just knew it! Hearty congratulations, Saylin!
