I'm sure I'll be doing the same thing LOL.... but is it business days or total days? Does anyone one know?

Thanks!

I spoke to NVC this morning. They said to allow them 20 business days to assign case number, etc.

20 business days would be the 26th for me!

Wouldn't that would be the 30th for you, because you're Dec 1st right? It would be the 25th for me as I excluded Thanksgiving and I'll have to count in an extra day to the 26th seeing as the 25th is Christmas. That's quite a bit of a difference from the 42 days they mentioned which, if including total days, would be Jan 10th for us. If 42 business days, that's a long way off, not until Jan 28th. Either way, I'll be calling again on 12/26 to see if we got our case/IIN #s yet.

Yeah I'm curious to see how this all plays out for the two of us - if we continue to run on similar tracks. I've got to come up with the funds for the next steps quickly!

yea! I know what you mean .. and the plane ticket is gonna be the big one! im not booking his ticket until he has his visa in hand and he probably will want to come not long after so yea thats gonna be a hefty price!

Ugh yes the plane tickets too. Our interview will be in a different city than where he lives, so hotel fees in addition. Are you planning to attend the interview with your husband? I'm planning to go to the interview and I wish I knew what to do with the ticket. Part of me wants to book one way, and try to get a flight for the both of us back to the U.S., but I'm concerned about what I've been reading on how long it's taking to issue the visa these days. I'll only have two weeks to spend. Another part of me wants to spend a week there and then when he gets here (fingers crossed) take another week off from work to spend with him at home. And then there's the 3rd option I don't want to think about - which is I'll obviously want to spend the entire 2 weeks with him there if he doesn't get the visa.... I need a crystal ball LOL

Nope i dont plan on being there with him, its not an option money wise and time wise as well , im taking a week off when he comes thats already planned then another week for india trip , so im all out of vacation and of course if he doesnt get the visa ill spend the whole two weeks there so we can plan on my move to ethiopia! Lol! Im praying that it doesnt come to that but we set it in our minds already that either is fine, but that would be more months apart because i would save as much as i can first then make the move but...... Lets hope for good ol USA! Lol

But if i was planning on going there i would take my two weeks vacation, one there and fly back with him and take the other week , of course that would work out if the visa came within a week!! Geez i wish they would give visas the day of interview, i mean when i land there in ethiopia it takes them 10 seconds to stamp a visa in my

Passport , i mean why isnt there someone doing visa stamps at the embassy when they go? Or is there something im missing why they need to send it off somewhere?

Received the greatest gift ever this Christmas Eve. I checked the NVC website just for the heck of it & saw 3 N/A's!!! I thought, there's no way a government agency is working late on Christmas Eve, but called just because....25 minutes later Lee picked up & she confirmed we do in fact have a case complete!! Next We wait until we hear from the embassy in Montreal to schedule our interview. Merry Christmas Eve! Good luck everyone else waiting. There is a light at the end.

The NVC is saying it's taking up to 42 days after receipt of your case from the USCIS for them to upload our case files into the system to generate a case # and IIN#.
