NVC Filers - May 2014

[STACEY&MISHO 103]

Hey Saylin

I got approved at the LDN embassy yesterday! I just wanted to drop by and say thanks so much for all your help, particularly at NVC stage. I can't believe how stressed I made myself over the process when in actual fact it turned out to be pretty straight forward.

I'll stick around and try to help others.

All the best

Congrats!!!!

Hey Guys my case was shipped to NVC, will I receive a mail that they received it or I will have to call them?

[STACEY&MISHO 103]

Just because they filed taxes jointly doesn't mean he has to automatically file a form. He doesn't have to. Just have her include her W2s with the tax transcripts to differentiate her income. (And if you dad does decide to file, it'd be an I-864A, not an I-864).

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! I knew you could do it!

Oh my goodness!!!!! Look at all this chaos !!!!!!

This thread is falling apart without your guidance!

Sorry to bring up the loathsome H-word, but this Monday is Memorial Day.

We all need to plan exceptionally distracting activities to survive this holiday.

Should I start answering everyone's questions, even though most are answered by reading the wiki and/or official instructions?

LOL! Hoping the weather will be nice enough to sit by the pool and read. Haven't picked up a book since December and I need some Vitamin D, desperately.

Lol! No, of course not!! I agree with Estrangis outburst! I had a little outburst of my own last week. God (or Godess) helps those who help themselves!!

I was just joking with you to see if you were paying attention !! Lol!!!!!

Hehe, I always pay attention

You are almost at the end! Hang in there! This is not the time to give up! Look beyond this couple of weeks and you'll get what you want!!!!!!!!!

Good luck!!!!

We applied April 2013. I can't stand watching the time fly by. So much time wasted that I could be with my husband !

and I hate my job too. ( I am so stressed out about this dumb job because it is soooo horrendous) Everyday I have to force myself to go to work. I can't do anything until this is nightmare is over either. I have been applying for jobs since the day I started this job. I should be grateful I even have a job, but for real.. I can't take much more. My doctor did prescribe anxiety meds but I don't like taking any kind of drugs... So I don't take them !! I have gained waight due to stress.. and being heavier than I am used to stresses me out even more !!

I'm on hold right now with NVC. I didn't call last night because I am getting really disgusted. 23 minutes and counting. I did get through the first dial though... I'll probably be on hold for 45 minutes.

Not quite 45 minutes.. This operator had a hard time speaking english... She told me they have no mail waiting for review.... I asked her to check again cuz its been there since May 8th... Then she says.. we have no email waiting for review.... NOT EMAIL MORON !!!!! I said I sent a fedex. OH, ok... its not reviewed yet !!

OH MY LORD ! ! !! ! ! Please GOD, let this be over soon !!!

i understand. its been over 1 year since i've applied for my husband. we are expecting our first child in June and from the way things are going i am unsure if he will be here.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSES!

my husband called nvc today. they scanned our checklist reponse yesterday and told to wait 30 business days. this day will not get any better.

goodluck!

So I've noticed most people who received a case number around the same time as me already have CC and now people after me are getting CCs and I'm just sitting here, humming and waiting.... Wondering when I will see my boo thang.

I realize that was a run-on sentence and I apologize. It was also improper English and as a teacher I should know better. But this entire process gives me the right to throw all grammatical reasoning out the window.

Calling this evening so they can tell me to wait 30 business days... Again.

its not so much receiving the case number as when the last package was scanned at the NVC,

I'm so angry because if they didn't check list me for my husbands birth cert ( they said its not the original...but it is) we would have had a CC on May 1st. they scanned the checklist package on May 8th and we are playing their stupid waiting game again...

Does anyone have an idea of what day they are processing ? Last I heard it was April 30th.( Wednesday) That seems to be a bit behind the norm... or am I going nuts? Is it too much to ask for them to review my frigging package by Friday this week? or am I dreaming again? Here comes another Holiday!!! Probably a skeleton staff on Friday as many people take off Friday to make it a 4-day weekend... Oh how wonderful for us.....

Sorry, but I just don't feel very positive these days !!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought about this too, I don't know if I'm happy for the day off of work or I'd rather work with a chance to see my husband sooner!!

LOL! Hoping the weather will be nice enough to sit by the pool and read. Haven't picked up a book since December and I need some Vitamin D, desperately.

YESSS ME TOO!!! This jersey weather has sucked!!! lol we'll do a sundance or something lol

LoveMyTico I feel your pain. I have also gotten anxiety over all of this and sometimes take it out on my husband, when he seems so calm about everything. I've been handling everything, with him maybe doing a few things here and there, and it stinks. The job I have also barely covers my bills as of now, I can only imagine when he gets here and with no knowledge of english. I paid for him to take english classes and he dropped out bc he said there was nobody to practice with. So this process has me extremely stressed and just thinking of all the work that will come even after he's here has me stressed too. I feel as though I've gained weight too, and I didn't think about that, it probably is due to stress.

OK, that was weird. Might be a glitch, might be something with the new interface on CEAC website... but I just had to fill in my DS261 again. Or rather not fill it in, since the whole form was still "filled in" and had been showing as "completed", but then this morning it showed as "not completed" so I just rechecked everything and hit "submit" again. I hope this is going to replace the "in the process of termination" notice.

It did say on the receipt I emailed myself that the next thing I would recieve is the IV bill. But now I'm fretting. Oh well, nothing to be done about it - can't call NVC today because I'm working a double. Maybe tomorrow.

I agree with him too ! I was reading from my phone last night and I was going nuts just reading those posts...(too much of a hassle to post on my phone). I was thinking " Are you freaking kidding me?"

This process is basically easy. There are a few things that can be confusing depending on your circumstances BUT if you read the WIKI like 10 times, it starts to make sense... Also, some read too much into it. If you just stop and read the question a few times.. Take it literally... answer the question without thinking too much. and of course ask questions if you get super stuck.. But goodness... asking the same questions that are answered very clearly in the WIKI makes me nuts....

Hang in there, Tico. We're almost there. Remember the painful days on the April 2013 I-130 filers thread?

Tell me about it!! This is one major reason why I've stopped being so active cause it's the same questions over and over again, which can be answered by simply reading.
