Oh, Saylin, I miss you. It's just not the same without you here in the forum!

My triangles of doom appeared on Monday, and, since I'm using an attorney, I'm watching carefully to see what happens. I tried to "pay" them tonight - just for fun, and got the "incorrect" message - so I'm hoping the invoices are ready tomorrow, and my attorney will be on top of them! She's been fabulous so far - but I'm watching anyway!

Just twiddling my thumbs.

Saylin, how did your first week at your new job go? How many boxes have you unpacked?

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

Finally got through the busy signals.... On Hold... Wish me luck :clock::pop::innocent:

CONGRATS micanda!!!

Every time I call I find myself thinking, "I hope this is a 15 minute hold kind of night, not a 30." Usually if I have to call more than 3 times to get through I know I'm in trouble. Enjoy that delightful music! :lol:

Sukie

Hehe, I'm sorry :P I still do read every post though, if that counts for anything :lol:

Almost done my second week now (well, week and a half since I only started last Wednesday), but so far, so good! Learn something new everyday, and I'm sure it'll be months before I'm really comfortable as there's so much stuff when dealing with customs and freight :wacko: But, at least I get to work with a computer all day :D And don't tell anyone, but I have a second window open behind my work one with my personal stuff :whistle:

And um, there's still lots of boxes left. Haven't unpacked anything since last Sunday where I got a few kitchen ones unpacked and put away. Still haven't had a homemade meal at home yet :jest:

It took me 12 redials.. So I'm in for 30+ min hold for sure. Hope it's worth it, fingers crossed

I don't have problems with calling, till now i called twice, first time on hold 10 min, second time 15, :))) but the thing is that we still didn't receive IV fee mail, and today explanation was that delay is probably from resubmitting DS261, he can see the form on computer, and to be patient and wait 30 businesses days, that somebody get sooner, somebody later so help me god.

Blah. Well, maybe tomorrow, right? :) It's not far off in any case. This wait feels like forever but I'm trying to keep perspective! I'll be calling tomorrow night and will certainly check in here either way. Tomorrow's a Skype date for me and my husband, I wouldn't mind getting the news when we can share the excitement together in real time. Hint hint, NVC.

yes i was told another officer that our case is on expedite service. and they shipped our file to Paris today.

when I log in to pay IV Application Processing Fees, it says:

The National Visa Center has forwarded your file to the US Embassy/Consulate where you are applying for an immigrant visa. Any other required fees must now be paid directly at the Embassy or Consulate at the time of your interview.

Please contact the US Embassy/Consulate if you have any questions. You can find the contact information by consulting this list of US Embassy/Consulate websites.

Saylin, how did your first week at your new job go? How many boxes have you unpacked?

Sukie

We agree. Saylin is the back-bone of this forum. But she has lot on her plate and needs time to settle down in new job and place.

We miss you Saylin!
