Oh I agree.... Can't wait to have him here so we can get on with our lives. We talk about how we just want the interview to be over so we can submit the waiver and only have that to wait for. All this craziness is just too much. I hope the waiver approvals pick up the pace. I really dread another 8 months wait.

I wonder how long it will take for them to give me the case complete.... I worry about the first AOS package and how fast the revision will get logged in.

I can't wait to tell my husband something good.

When we were waiting for the approval from the TSC, I imagined myself calling him and screaming that we were approved. What actually happened was we had a fight that night on the phone but it ended fine. We hung up and I was half asleep at 10:15 while watching TV. I keep my phone next to me in bed so I can hear the alarm in the morning. So I received 2 text messages at 10:15pm and I remember thinking " Who the hell is texting me this late?" I looked at my phone and saw the emails telling me to check my status. I fumbled to the website and saw our approvals. I called my husband back and I couldn't even talk. He said HELLO, I said HI, he said WHATS WRONG ? ( because I just hung up 15 minutes before) I couldn't even speak... I said very quietly.... We are approved.... He said WHAT?? I said We are approved.... he said... say it again, I need to make sure I heard you correctly... LOL

Then the next day when we talked, the first thing he said to me before Hello was, " say it again please, I wanna hear it again" so cute !

so here we are at NVC. I didn't expect to go this fast. ( knock on wood) but we waited 11 months and 6 days at the USCIS . I am happy to be moving along

So happy for you lady! This process took a big toll on all of us! We will get to enjoy our lives once our families reunite! Good luck to all of us!

From the timing of the emails, our friend "Joy" is on the early shift. Maybe it's better to call late at night! When does Agent "Gus" seem to answer the phone????

I always get very nice people at night when I call around 9-11 pm

This Visa Journey to be joined with our family's becomes a magnificent obsession.

[LoveMyTico 999]

The guys who answer at night are the nicest ones !

Joy is the morning shift and wins the NASTY PANTS prize. Reese is also morning shift and is borderline nasty. Cindy was excellent this morning. Alan at night is great too !

I always thank the ones who are so nice ! I tell them I really appreciate it !

I just got the same thing for AoS fees.

AoS fees invoiced and paid.

AoS package overnighted. Guaranteed delivery by noon tomorrow!

One more step in the right direction!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!! Knew it had to be coming soon for you

Does the status of the DS260 on the CEAC ever turn to ACCEPTED or does it just stay as Completed? Am I obsessing for nothing?

Never goes to accepted, sadly, you just have to call and ask to figure that out. Apparently it goes from Completed to "On File At Post" when it ships off to the embassy/consulate, but there's no interim status on CEAC.

wooooow your interview is so soon!! Congrats, such wonderful news!!!!

Thank you so much!

Yay, we got our Case Number assigned today

Congrats! Now things are really going to get moving!

Quick Question .... I just paid the AOS Bill and haven't received my amended tax return yet from the IRS ( Filed as Single as i was told by my tax lady ) now will the IV bill show up after the payment processes or after they receive the AOS packet ?

The IV invoice isn't tied to your AOS at all, it's tied to the choice of agent form DS-261. Generally the IV fee will invoice within a couple of weeks after the DS-261 is submitted, but check Saylin's spreadsheet if you want to see timelines for recent cases.
