You pulled ahead of me, too! Hoping I can pay IV fee tomorrow or Wednesday!

It was 2 business days from the time I submitted payment until it showed paid.

Dont forget use IE...it seems to interface the best with their pay system and

nobody has experienced a problem paying with the IE browser.

I just checked the VEGAS odds and I did indeed pull ahead.....I am favored...the spread is 2.5...days

It's kind of nice to have someone waiting on tenterhooks with me -- aside from my spouse, of course :lol: I keep scouring the NVC spreadsheet for other cases to watch, I must have downloaded a dozen versions last week alone. Will do again later when work has quieted down ;) I'm very keen to see the writing on the wall here!

Oh wow!

I do the exact same thing! I download it as an excel sheet and track it for timelines close to ours. I have it color-coded, sorted and excluding certain entries; i have been able to predict the next case completes fairly accurately. I actually take notes on members who don't have an entry and track it on my private version. I know I am sick.. LOL

There is unfortunately a little gap from VJ member who sent in the IV package between 13-17th so it will be hard to track over the next couple of days but right after that we have four members who should get a CC in short order.

Another spreadsheet nerd, awesome! I say that with highest esteem. I'm obsessed with my filters. I noticed that gap as well; tons of IV submissions right after ours, but very few just slightly before. Maybe that's a good thing and it accurately reflects a global lag in submissions, so NVC will skip ahead to our dates :innocent: I can dream.

Don't worry dwheels, I'm obsessed with your list posts too! They're such a great resource for the data-crazed among us. Let me know if you need a hand pulling a spreadsheet together, I need something to help me pass the time ;) I live most of my professional life in MS Office.

Just got off the phone with NVC and they told me it takes 8 weeks just to receive the i130 from USCIS. My case was shipped on 3/24. It's like they use the pony express to ship the files...smh

They say that, but it usually just takes 10 days or so.

Tico this is a great way to handle this. The NVC operators likely appreciate your friendliness and positive attitude vs people who call and whine at them.

I remember a guy (probably one of the nice ones everyone always talks about) told me "it can take 8 weeks, but you can call back as often as you want to check in" I did just that :)
