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 Londo

Yeah, I wish I could say the same... :(

Put your timeline in your signature...you will get lots of help here that will propel you to "case complete" with NO checklists.

Keep checking the CEAC portal. It will be available shortly. Take this time and start doing research and making notes.

Get your packets ready to ship. Look at my timeline, once you get access its "game on" and you can be "DONE"

in 3-4 weeks with CEAC :)

Just spoke to Arthur at NVC and he said both packages, AOS and IV, were received and logged in and then he gave me the whole "wait 30 days speech."

He was nice, but I am afraid we won't get a Case Complete in time for a June interview :cry: I shouldn't have convinced myself that we could be together by June...it's going to be such a disappointment. :mellow:

Hey I have changed my consulate during the NVC process, you have to email them requesting a change and attach proof of it. they can change consulate to home country or where you are. So either send copy of passport from London, or proof of residing there, took me 40 days to get it.

Hey mate, thanks for the quick reply. I see from your timeline that you sent your AOS and IV packets before the case # change? I take it this was no problem? To be fair NVC told me that it was ok...

.... I sent the email with a copy of my passport and they have confirmed they have changed my address and are in the process of changing the case #

Was that 40 business days or 40 days days...

I would wait until the money is deducted from your account. Once it's deducted it's almost through. But I had an AOS fee reject one time. If they get your documents before the fee is paid I'm pretty sure they reject the documents.

I called them today as well and got the same response. My reaction was exactly the same as yours. I really really want a June interview too. But I think I am going to start convincing myself of a July interview so that the disappointment won't be as heartbreaking.
