hi is anyone able to get through to nvc 603-334-0700? i know it's normal to get busy tone sometimes, but i been trying since yesterday morning, yesterday afternoon, yesterday evening, this morning, and now. Everytime i get busy tone, i try about 5-10 times each.

Just wondering if anyone else are able to get through?

The hoops we have to jump through....sigh.

I have gotten through to them a few times. Yes it is going to take a while. You will get a busy signal so redial will help a bunch. Once you get through you will be on hold for a while so make sure you have a half hr to kill before you try.

During my attempts at calling I had to call around 10 times repeatedly before I was able to get into the queue. At that point I waited approximately 20 minutes on hold before talking to a representative.

I would have thought the NVC would provide a toll free 800 number, especially for international callers, but I guess that's too much to ask.

03/26/2014 Received a checklist regarding the birth certificate. This was previously provided in an email. Investigating what was wrong with the birth certificate.
03/26/2014 Called the NVC and was told this was likely because we accidentally submitted a "short form" birth certificate rather than a "long form", but we knew that wasn't the case.
03/26/2014 Wife called back to NVC and they told her that it was because the form was "too decorative". The lady on the phone told her to wait 25 days as she'll forward it to a supervisor.
