NVC Filers - June 2014

[ColGil 126]

Oh great so your all sent, thought you were paying tons in phone bills. I just have a regular cell, it's my husband that's the tech king. .

Same here, like watching grass grow during a drought.

My husband and I have said in the past that we don't know if we could have survived if we didn't have the techology we do today. Could you imagine if phones, computers, internet etc didn't exist and you could only communicate by mail??? On saying that, in those days you could just turn up somewhere and get citizenship so we'd only have the journey across the atlantic to worry about

Maybe those of us caught in the slowdown at NVC will get lucky at the embassy because they have less to deal with

Oh God bless you for being so positive, I don't know what positive feels like anymore!

You guys its would help tremendously if I can get an answer to this...

Has anyone, who is doing EP, e-mailed any of their documents around 5/27 and later, and had them already scanned in the system. I am in limbo here and so confused as to why they say they have no e-mails from me. NVC told me they are well passed that date in terms of emails..

Did you receive a auto-reply or any kind of message like the one below? if yes then probably they never got your email.

On hold with the NVC, that's 38 mins in. Was 55 mins last time. They are crazy busy. Husband just messaged me asking if this is the dance I do when I get through to them ROFL http://deadspin.com/young-marlins-fan-gets-on-camera-completely-loses-his-1595793301?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_facebook&utm_source=deadspin_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

WOW!!! I'm so sorry to hear this. I think you should call and speak to supervisors every day. Their instructions say leave it blank, they checklist saying to put N/A, now they checklist you again when it's THEIR instructions which aren't clear. OMG, I'm so shocked by this.

OMG that little kid looks like the son of Satan hahahahaha holy cow he scares me.

She said they are still scheduling for August and that we are in the queue! woohoo! so excited!

Best of luck to everyone, you're day is coming too and it's worth the wait!

That's great! Congraulations

I agree with the comment about techology. My husband and I were separated while we were engaged and were in the immigration process for me to come to Australia. We are talking 12 years ago and calling was super expensive and there was no Skype. We relied a lot on letters and cards and he even sent me VIDEOS he recorded showing me the apartment he got for us and other things. I am not talking a video from a smart phone and emailed, I mean a camcorder on a video cassette mailed! ha ha

It was hard, but we made it and looking back is sounds romantic. I still have those letters and videos and they are such sweet memories. Everyone remember in this day and age of Skype to take the time to write a love letter to your spouse. How wonderful is it receiving mail that is not a bill these days.

Hi Gwinne!

It's great to connect with you, and your fast approval gives me hope!

Congradulations!

Did you need to go to an interview at the embassy?

I was able to get through to USCIS on Friday, and it turns out that the money order that I sent through the Post Office was emitted incorrectly

I had a dubious feeling when they made out the order.... so I am not completely surprised, but I will have to send the whole package in again

(Luckily I got my money back)

I wanted to ask you how you made the payment???

Where will you be living in the US?

Hi Megan,

No, we haven't been to the embassy yet. I believe that will be at the end of the process.

Im sorry to hear about the issue you had. I sent a personal check from my US bank account so I could see what day it was cashed.

We are unsure where we will live at the moment, finding the employment will likely determine that for us.

Good Luck with submitting again, i hope everything goes perfect this time!

Paralegal said they never sent any auto reply when I asked. I have to speak to her tomorrow and make her forward the e-mail to me. She's done this so many times I have no idea why it had to be mine. I'll know for certain tomorrow. I did find out that the nvcelectronics email is quicker than nvcinquiry email.

I must admit, when I crack the joke about no immigration and sailing across the atlantic, I do sometimes forget how recent most of the technology is. It's a testament to your relationship to have gone through that in a time when the technology wasn't there. I always assume that we make the most of the communication methods we have. I imagine a time in the future when instead of skype we have holograms "a la Stars Wars" and people are saying "I don't know how people did this when video was in 2 dimensions!!!

EDIT: sorry hit "post" too soon, I meant to write this!!!

In the meantime, here's a great site for long distance relationships http://www.lovingfromadistance.com/thingsforldrcouplestodo.html

I did the telegram (#94) and my husband just loved it. He still has it on the wall in his (home) office. http://www.telegramstop.com/ which your letters remind me of.
