This place has become my safe haven!

I wonder if we'll experience withdrawals from VJ once our journies end!

I hope so because some if not all of us will need you guys to help us along. :D(F) (F)

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

Update from our side: after receiving a check-list a few days ago for the IV package (petitioner's birth certificate was not a certified copy), we submitted a certified copy (the only "original" we had kept). It was logged into the system today and within a few hours, my duaghter, the petitioner, received an email from NVC stating:

Dear Sir/Madam:


The National Visa Center (
NVC
) received your inquiry regarding the immigrant visa petition: XXXXXXXX filed by YYYYYYY on behalf of ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.


We received documentation for your case. Please allow 30 business days for us to review your documents.


The
NVC
reviewed the case file and the Petitioner's BC is still needed. It was not located in the file.

So,
NVC
lost the birth certificate we just sent, although it was clearly attached, with the case number references, etc!!!!! I am speechless. To make matters worse, I called
NVC
and after 50 attempts with busy tone and 30 minutes of wait once the call got through, who answers the phone? Mrs Joy!!! She basically said "tough luck", we did not find your birth certificate, you can ask to search again but she recommended that we get another certified copy and submit it.

What can I say, when it rains, it pours......

When you responded to the Checklist, did you overnight it? And how long did it take for them to review it after you sent it?

I just received a Checklist today and was wondering how long they generally take to go through our package and review it when it is a Checklist.
