There is something wrong with you signature vis-a-vis date day and date month

I'm trying to count the number of days between NVC case # assigned and AOS/IV availability

That's very sweet, but I just want people to be treated properly. Everyone going through this process deserves real answers and some modicum of respect. Not bullshit and derision.

Exactly - and I think you have put a lot of effort into raising awareness and finding answers and helping get the correct information out to people on here, High five!

Finally the expected IV yellow triangle showed up. Now I'm going to be checking every 5 mins :pop:

Given the extreme production value of the "on hold" messaging while waiting for an NVC operator

I used Skype recorder and made a 32 min mp3 of it that I "loop" while binge checking just to immerse myself

in the total CEAC experience... CEAC Mantra....Checking Endlessly Always Checking......in monotone…..

Hi Saylin,

I read your DS-260 sample cover letter. This line doesn't make sense to me:

"Scanned copies of documents submitted are exact copies of unaltered documents and I understand that I will be required to submit original documents to an Immigration or Consular officer at the interview."
Can you explain it? Another thing is the cover letter is dated 2011, is this an old cover letter needing changes since 2011? Also, I know you told previously that both the AOS and IV packages can be sent together and also I think I read that both are processed at separate departments, so how to send them together?

Saylin, another doubt regarding the DS-260 cover letter is I will be mailing the documents to my husband to send them in on my behalf, so what changes need to be done in the fields of BENEFICIARY'S SIGNATURE, BENEFICIARY'S NAME, AND BENEFICIARY'S ADDRESS? Please add my details to the spreadsheet you are maintaining.

NOA2: March 6, 2014

Transferred from NBC to NVC and approved from NVC.

Hubby just sent out the IV packet!! Please update the spreadsheet, Saylin :) And congrats on your job, move, and life changes. Hope you are loving your new place and that you will love your new job.

For others who want to know, IV payment not yet PAID on CEAC, but in process and already taken out of my account...and AOS was supposed to be sent out yesterday by my joint sponsor in the US, but hasn't been confirmed yet (it's still early in Oregon). Will update again once he fills me in (I've stopped bothering him about it), so that the spreadsheet can be updated.

Feeling lucky this week :) Hoping for a very quick case complete!

I am the petitioner (USC). My husband is Senegalese.

Given the extreme production value of the "on hold" messaging while waiting for an NVC operator

I used Skype recorder and made a 32 min mp3 of it that I "loop" while binge checking just to immerse myself

in the total CEAC experience... CEAC Mantra....Checking Endlessly Always Checking......in monotone…..

lol I know what you're saying!! I think everyone here is addicted to CEAC :girlwerewolf2xn: I get crazy if I don't check in a short period of time! :blink:
