SENDING GOOD VIBES TO EVERYONE TODAY!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

They just told my husband that they are reviewing mail received on APRIL 21TH.

They are lying to their teeth.

My AoS packet was scanned in on 22-Apr and it was reviewed and accepted 07-May.

I sent packages together. I dunno what to think now :/

So I called NVC at 7:02am and was on hold for 40 mins, but thank God I finally have a case number. I was literally falling asleep and now I am shaking with excitement and million things are running through my head.

Anyway, just to confirm. When i do the enroll email, do I do it now or wait? The lady I spoke with said to wait and I should get something at the end of the week, but I don't know if I believe her. Anyway, I went ahead and follow what Saylin outlined for enrolling an email. A few minutes later I got "out if office auto-reply", does that mean it went through or should I resubmit my enroll email?

Thanks in advance

It means it went through. It's been suggested to wait until after DS-261 has been filled out and accepted by NVC. Just keep in mind that with EP it is a little slower, it's been taking them roughly 30 days to receive and review emails. Currently they are receiving emails from around April 16th and 17th.

Thank you for your reply. I have to do it by email because the country my husband's from is required to do everything by email, so no other option.

The idea of AP is terrifying. Do they only do that when they aren't sure if the relationship is legitimate?

[LoveMyTico 999]

The actual NVC reviewers work 8 AM to 5 PM.

I will hold and not call until noon at least.

I see people here with packets scanned in on the 24th and they are still not reviewed yet. Little chance of seeing anything change today in my case!!!

Good luck to all!!!!!!!!!

never say never... Yesterday they were trying to review my case AGAIN without the mail that was only scanned in on the 8th.. SO YOU NEVER KNOW.... I received a checklist and 2 reminders very close to each other and then yesterday a note in my file in the early am looking for the Birth certificate. I have to laugh because I sent that certificate in as fast as I possibly could. They were sending reminders for it without even giving me a couple days. Now I am dying for them to open my mail !! Do I dare call right now? decisions decisions

Usually AP is when the beneficiary is a Male from some specific countries: Pakistan, Afghanistan, in some cases Egypt, Morocco and other MENA countries.

It is a draw of luck

I'm on hold now . I figure it'll be 10 am before I get through anyway. Trying to beat the lunch time rush

Good Luck. Hope you hear some good news, you sure deserve it. They've put you through enough already. I'm calling later tonight to see if they have scheduled interview yet. Keeping fingers and toes crossed for both of us. GOOD LUCK !!!

Haha I'm humming the conga tune after reading this.

I'm so happy that I joined this forum, it really helps a lot technically and emotionally. Keep the good vibes coming guys!

OMG me too! It won't stop, especially the strong beat right between each line... I even find my head bouncing off a bit to one side for that beat

Is this a case complete?:

of your case. As soon as an interview date has been scheduled, the applicant, petitioner

the interview. Additional documentation requirements if applicable can be referenced at

My Tuesday Morning update VIA Waldo

Me: Hi Waldo , have there been any updates?

Waldo: The package we received on may 8th is being reviewed by a supervisor

Me: does that just mean it was received by the NVC or is it really on someone's desk?

Waldo: Its on someone's desk and it could take up to 30 days to review

Me: Well, let's just hope it doesn't take that long

Waldo: I have to tell you that. Now is there anything else I can try to help you with?

Me: Uhhhh are they still scheduling for June interviews?

Waldo: Yes, we are still scheduling for June

Me: Thank you Waldo, you have been most helpful

Yeah my husband is from morocco. I lived with him him for 2 years in the UAE under his sponsorship. They gave him a 10 year non-immigrant visa. I'm seriously hoping that doesn't happen. I feel sick just thinking about it.

[Lakehouse 293]

I just add my signature too

Yay, thanks!

IV package sent this morning! Now we get to wait! Again!

Creeping closer and closer... doesn't it feel wonderful

I GOT A CASE NUMBER!!!! :)

Big step forward, horray!!

international scrabble club is a fun way for separated loved ones to hang out- while skyping at same time of course. We also listen to music together, help eachother cook, he helps me choose my outfits of the day lol- he likes that bit haha! I am starting to think a different way regarding house stuff now we are getting closer- example: ooh starting a new soap has always been fun but becomes more exciting because husband will use that same soap bar when he arrives this summer!!! am i weird ? Even my freezer is starting to get packed with his favorite frozen cookies.

I loved this
