Here's a joke for everyone... How long does it take for the NVC to check your docs, or do a supervisor review? I'm sure you all heard the answer before...!

My case is in process of termination, what do I do?!

Fffs it feels like the rest of my life. 30 business days.. They couldn't even give us an answer on when the checklist (which was in their error) would be removed.. The agent, nor the supervisor.. WTH!

Monkeys could do a better job than this.

Here's a joke for everyone... How long does it take for the NVC to check your docs, or do a supervisor review? I'm sure you all heard the answer before...!

Just got a flashback from The Money Pit. Every time Tom Hanks asks when his house renovation will complete, the contractors would say "In two weeks!" and then turn away and roar in laughter.

He did get a case (or is it house) complete eventually.

31-MAR-2014 Petition approved

16-APR-2014 Case shipped to NVC

29-APR-2014 Case received by NVC

23-MAY-2014 Case # assigned

4-JUN-2014 IV Bill invoiced and PAID (AOS Exempt, DS-261 Waived)

6-JUN-2014 DS-260 forms submitted

10-JUN-2014 IV Docs received by NVC

13-JUN-2014 IV Docs matched to case (scanned)

30-JUL-2014 Case Complete, CC email auto-sent one week later

20-AUG-2014 AOS fee changed to N/A (Final clearance for interview scheduling?)

29-AUG-2014 Consular Interview scheduled on Oct 1st. Later rescheduled to Sep 24th. P4 Letter received following business day

14-SEP-2014 CEAC status changed to Ready

15-SEP-2014 Medical results delivered to Embassy by Panel Physician

24-SEP-2014 Consular Interview, went into AP (3rd AP in as many consecutive visa applications)

22-OCT-2014 POE at Dulles Airport, Washington, D.C.

:rofl: . Well I'm hoping for some good news, just for my wife's sake. She's worried. I'm glad everyone else is seeing movement, I just feel like I'm the last May filer here now XD. Obserkatova left me! :P

I know how frustrating is this process, I hope you hear soon from them. :luv:(F)

Thanks! I know, it's frustrating for everyone, just on the last straw. (Knowing our case is pretty much complete, seeing August interviews being assigned, and being still stuck because someone can't press a button.. or two.. or move their hand?)
