NVC Filers - April 2014

[Collie 122]

Apparently NVC was just waiting for me to lose all hope, sit back and get comfortable before throwing us for a loop. Yesterday evening we received an email notification for a May 19 interview in London. We're very surprised, very excited, and also a bit stressed as we accelerate the timeline to get ready for the move I feel a little bad line jumping out of the June interview group, because I know how left behind I felt watching others do the same. I wish I could assign you all interview dates myself. The wait sucks, but you're so close to the end now. I can't wait to see each of you sharing your good news as it comes

Bit of a tangent here, but something I've been thinking about... with our interview date scheduled and everything suddenly so near at hand, I'm finding myself more and more in awe of the incredible sacrifices all the beneficiaries (or applicants, to use the NVC-appropriate term!) here are making for their spouses. I'm so full of love and appreciation for everything my husband is doing to bring our lives together, and I know many of the members here are bound to have even more difficult situations and transitions than we're expecting. I give you guys all the credit in the world. You're amazing. The love and commitment it takes to survive this process and THEN give up everything you've known in life except your spouse is incredible. I hope you all have wonderful, supportive, thankful partners, because you sure as heck deserve it.

Yeah, I'm feeling warm and fuzzy

Nice words spoken with heartfelt emotions . It is a big step to leave everything behind that you know. I did it myself in 2005 and came with a suitcase and my dog and it was the craziest thing I have ever done, but here we are 8 years later with 2 beautiful little girls and our life together. It's worth the wait My journey now is slightly different than y'alls as it is my parents that I am petitioning, but the waiting and separation still sucks.

What we need on here is a thread where we can post happy photos of being reunited with our families

Hello Electronic Processing filers!

Should I scan the 2 photos?

Should I write my Name and case number on the back side of each photo?

Could anybody advise me, please?

Thank you,

Lukiduki

Still anxiously waiting for AoS fees to be invoiced

I've been hoping and praying for you. This waiting really sucks.

I called today, to confirm that they had received our AOS and IV packages. I sent the AOS a week before I sent the IV, both FedEx. She told me that that had received "mail" but couldn't tell me what package it was. Going by when it was logged in, it's the IV package. Should I just re-send all the AOS stuff, or is it possible that they were logged in together?

Thank you very much! I need all the prayers and support I can get!

For Medical in Montreal: After I go for medical. Do I have to pick up a packet from medical office 3-4 days later to bring with me to the interview or do they send it to the consulate? If so, I know my employer will not give me a week off work so that I can just stay in Montreal(can't afford it either). Was actually thinking of getting medical done in Toronto coming home, waiting a couple days, drive back to Toronto pick up my medical packet stay the night in Montreal and go to interview next day. Toronto's a 5 hour drive and montreal 8 hours from home.

This is a question for ENROLL and Electronic processing cases. Finally received ENROLL acceptance, they replied to my March 26 one(that I received an auto reply for) I sent ENROLL on March 19(did not receive auto reply) So it would seem you have to receive auto reply in order for them to actually receive it. After you received ENROLL acceptance, when you emailed in your packets, did you receive an out of office auto reply from NVC? And how long did it take to receive and review those packets? I emailed my AOS on March 26, April 1 and April 15(this is the only one I got an auto reply for). And IV was emailed April 4 and April 15 (did not receive auto reply for either one). Just curious as to how much longer I'm going to have to wait.

I see you guys have been stressed out about the auto reply. I ll also share my info to add to the confusion.

So, we have not received auto reply to our ENROLL email which was sent on March 18, but our ENROLL was accepted.

AOS package : no auto reply either, was sent on Mar 19, but was received just after ENROLL was accepted. And on April 11th, we received a checklist about a small typo level mistake on the I864 and we responded to it the same day still with no auto reply.

All these are what NVC has responded to. Per a call early on (I think it was after we sent our ENROLL email) we were told NVC is not sending auto response any more because they are receiving 30,000-40,000 emails a day. Then we DIDNOT stress about the auto reply.

So, if you ask me, according to my experience, they still received what we sent despite the auto replies.

Thank you very much LoveMyTico!

I think they are playing games with me here!!!! but I'm not going anywhere! I'll stay here until I 'm done!!!!!!!

Thank you very much LoveMyTico!

I think they are playing games with me here!!!! but I'm not going anywhere! I'll stay here until I 'm done!!!!!!!

I received an email saying the fees were available to pay online on April 4th but was not able to pay until April 5th ( saturday). Only 4 days after I got my case number. I don't understand why it is taking so long for everyone to get a case number and pay fees.. Why are they playing games? I guess its how they control the flow.

Called NVC this morning and no new news. Got the normal "we need 30 days to process the forms" spiel.

Well the only thing I can CONFIRM that they received from me is the ENROLL sent on March 26(auto reply received) because that's the one they responded too. As for anything else I've sent they have NOTHING in there system for ANY of my emails as of 930 this morning.

I've been told , that you should receive auto reply, their auto reply isn't working properly and that you will not receive auto reply anymore. Who knows. They've got 3 copies of my AOS now, and 3 for IV. They'd better receive at least one of them.

I've also been told that I couldn't email AOS or IV before receiving ENROLL acceptance, and that I could send them before receiving confirmation.

I'll just wait and see I guess. Who knows how they work. Every operator has a different answer
