NVC Filers - March 2014

[hunnymoon 5]

Ok big mess! When my husband applied for my visa I was in Saudi Arabia to visit my parents so in my current address I wrote tht address and in permanent wrote my Pakistan's address but now the email from nvc says that my address is In Saudi arabia

I just finished talking to a not so polite woman from NVC and she said tht because they have thisa ddress ill have to give my interview in riyadh and if i want to change my address i can only email them and send a proof of residence in Pakistan or something.

Dont they take ages to reply??? Cant i do this over the phone?? will this delay my case now?! Aaa im sorry for going crazy

hello - same thing happened to me - my husband is currently in england and I put down pakistan as his address. I would suggest, if you can, to just give the interview in Saudi; if that can't be done, go ahead and email NVC with your Pak. address, along with proof of residence and address - I went through this just three months ago and it took them 30 business days, plus minus a couple days I don't exactly remember, take a look at my signature below. So basically if you do change, you'll have to wait a month and half just to have something so minute changed; in my opinion, if you can, just proceed with the case and interview in Saudi, because while they are changing the address, they put your case on hold and you can't do a single thing with it, ie pay the AOS and IV fees, send stuff in, etc. It was a horrible wait for my husband and I, I wish you and your husband the best, and pray we all are reunited in quick times with our spouses.

HA HA Yep.. PONY EXPRESS at its best !!

Nah, they just tell you that in hopes that you won't call back ! LOL

this morning I called

Me: Hi can you check to see if my case was received?

Them: Sure, what is your case number?

Me: MSC XXXXXXXXX

Them: no, it wasn't received yet. Do you have the approval letter yet?

Me: Yes ma'am, I was aproved on the 18th. And you're gonna tell me I have to wait 8 weeks... right?

Them: Yup

Me: I'll call back tomorrow then

Them: Ok, have a nice day !

I like the way you said "And you're gonna tell me I have to wait 8 weeks..right?"

how long does it take for the DS 260 to be accepted, if both IV and AOS fees show paid, the DS 261 has been accepted and both AOS and IV packets have been accepted? Any one have a rough idea?
I made a mistake in my earlier post. My husband is getting his medical at Knightsbridge this Friday and he has got the following vaccines: Tdap, MMR, and influenza, anything else he would need? Thank you for the responses.

LOL. I remember I called NVC the day (well it was friday midnight I called monday). Just to ask questions. Even then they were it takes 30 days if in 15 business days it doesn;t arrive give us a call. I would always say okay I will call tomorrow. We always laughed.

Sometimes I would call and soon as I gave name they knew who I was. From May 29, 2012 to March 11, 2013 (when my casefile got shipped off to embassy) I called at the very least 2 times a day everyday. I learned so much.

And Agent Gus thats my homeboy the best worker in government.

Hi,

From what I have been tracking; the IV package review is usually the long-pole for case completes. I don't know if they'll actually review your IV docs without DS-260 or vice-versa.

We are looking at CC for people who sent int the IV package around march 12th or 13th. Try getting your data on the saylin's spreadsheet it will help you track it better and help predict when you get your CC.

OK, I'm going to ask a question and I hope I don't get clubbed for it !!

Where are you getting this interview info from? Where are you stalking? Do I need a case number to stalk too? Are the K-3 interviews INTER-mingled with the I-130 interviews??

I wanna stalk too !!

You just gave me the hibee jibees!!! Lift off it is!!! So anxious and excited i can't sit still all day since finding out abt CC, i'm like my 5yr old: "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

[anxiousl7925 4]

Saylin's spreadsheet (linked in her sig) has the running average for duration at NVC. Right now it's 51 days from receiving case number to receiving case complete.

Yup, I said it just like that !! and she said YUP.

They did tell me I can call back as often as I like on one of my previous calls... so that is my exact plan. I have a redial button on my work phone so why not ??? I usually get through after only 3 or 4 redials. If you call early, you don't even get a busy signal.

I always say good morning and Thank you have a nice day. They only answer phones.. And we all know they are pretty much scripted on what they are allowed to say... So no need to get angry with them.

Directly from the peoples I get the information.I also watch the who has interviews daily thats posted and see if they are on my list. I stalk VJ myself, I want and need data so all of you can get the best information possible.

I been doing this thread for over a year and a half. Started by another member. What I been doing is I want case complete date, when you found out (phone or email) your interview date and date of interview.

You know this is one of the biggest questions "How long after case complete do I have to wait". So we decided to track and have a thread.

Anyone can come on over its good fun especially when interviews are announced. Praying fro my Egypt peeps some been waiting since September. Imagine.

So stalk us post say hi. And its great people come back after interview report. It's good fun.
