NVC Filers - June 2014

[bdrew612 1,071]

Just called NVC (only 1 min on hold for Spanish ) Nothing to report... "wait 30 days..."

The only perk about calling in Spanish is a short time on hold, but the operators seem to be less knowledgeable...

And for some reason they always confirm the entire info (not only names and DOB, but also emails and phone numbers)

I always have to confirm the e-mail and phone number too with the English Agent.

Less than 10 minutes, you say? Time to brush up on mi español!

So confused, packages received on 20th of May and agent told me they haven't reviewed them yet and it take 30 business days to review them, so after they start reviewing them do we start counting 30 days again for a case complete?Hope somebody can enligthen me with this. TIA

BUSINESS days ... and don't forget there was a holiday in the mix too

After many, *many*, attempts to call the NVC tonight, I finally got through and spoke to May, who very kindly informed me that our case number was assigned on June 4. She provided me with the IIN, too.

Unfortunately, our assigned embassy is incorrect, as they've routed us to the embassy in my husband's home country, rather than where we currently live (Paris). I fear that getting this corrected will really slow down the process.

Were you married in France?

Oh come on! That could be an enteraining call for you AND the Agent LOL :-P

Well I was totally planning on calling tonight to see if my interview has been scheduled.

But I've had way too much to drink.

So I'll wait til Monday.

What!? You can always call NVC while you're drinking tequila in a bar!

are you going to live in the bay area?

I wish, no L.A County still very beautiful, but the weather is much hotter.

Two with Japan flags came in one was approved from filing the I-130 to NVC in 22 DAYS! The other took about two weeks form USCIS to NVC. Outrageous!

They will be the ones who complain endlessly about how long this process takes.... PUKE PUKE PUKE

[Soloenta 2,218]

In my case yes. I am very upset about it and I don't know what to do any more.... What kind of expedite it is, if they reviewing my docs for 30 days. And situation here is getting worse and worse with every day.

Did you speak to a supervisor? If not do so and tell them you have an approved expedite.

I guess your right Austin, wish it wasn't so, we have lost a lot of good people freezing their A$$'s off in other states.

Some people moved to Arizona from California, and it's not exactly cold there, is it? Haha

I checked on the ceac website today and my affadavit of support fee went from paid to N/A. I paid it a long time ago, back in April. Anyone know what this means?

Thank you, We called back cause the last agent gave us an incorrect info :/ So it's 30 business days to review and they will notify us wether we get a case complete or checklist within a week after they review. I thought it will be 60 days to wait for review and case complete lol made me nervous and confused.

Interesting he, in English I've only given names and DOBs. I guess it depends on the agent

I haven't talked to many though, I've only called 4 times in English and twice in Spanish

It probably means that you already got a Case Complete!!! Call!!

When did NVC scan your last package?

Yes, it must be it. Other users have reported that they get a case complete soon after this change

Good luck!

Can be CC.. CALLCALLCALL!

Wow wow wow! Sorry! I must have been pretty tired when I wrote that message! I did email the embassy this morning, not NVC ( I already call NVC every day...). As you said, to get an answer to an inquiry THAT fast, it can't be the NVC!!

PRS joke of the day : two different answers from the embassy about the same subject / question. The first one told me it's up to the NVC to schedule the appointment and then the NVC will forward them our files. The second one told me that they need to receive the files from NVC and then they will schedule an interview date for us.

Good thing the NVC is not AT ALL "waiting for the embassy to schedule the interview" so they can send them out files, right?!

Holy cow, what a total mess they are! How much more incompetent can they get! Retorical question.

From what I remember NVC does the scheduling for almost all Embassies with few exceptions. So I would think NVC will be doing that for you not the Embassy.

What was the response from NVC?

Found this at the site below for US Embassy in Paris France.

Step Three - The Immigrant Visa Interview

The National Visa Center will schedule the final visa interview date and at the same time will send your complete paper file to the U.S. Embassy Paris, France.

• The beneficiary will need to have a medical exam. The fee for the medical exam is in addition to fees paid directly to the U.S. government. You pay this fee, in euros, to the doctor directly. A list of panel physicians will be sent to you by mail.
• Appointments are necessary for immigrant visa interviews, but the petitioner is not required to attend.
• Applicants may be found ineligible in accordance with immigrant visa law. For example, if you have a communicable disease, have committed criminal acts, or you are likely to become a public charge you will be found ineligible. The two years foreign residency requirement for former exchange visitors is also applicable. If you are found ineligible, the consular officer will advise you if the law provides for a waiver.

Hey Saylin...

There is a business opportunity here for designing and selling buttons for VJ members to recognize each other at consulates and future gatherings. I'll chime in a few suggestions:

"Saylin Thru"

"Joey Stinks"

"Blessed by Soloenta"

Also, that signature blue dye can go viral in no time.

:rofl: :rofl: OMG I love it ty so much. I feel special now.
