So I think it is safe to say that when AOS changes from PAID to N/A that your case is complete because I just spoke to Ivette and she was like "We have reviewed your documents ma'am and everything is fine. Your case is COMPLETE!!!!!!!!"

And then I yelled, "FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!" ::insert dancing emojis with sunglasses which I have been saving for Case Complete and now can't use them because I am on a mobile device::

Thank you so much to all of you with your patience and well wishes. I will continue checking VJ and commenting to support the ones that have supported me.

Let the PARTY BEGIN!!!!!! Lovemytico.... CALL girlfriend!!!!!

Congrats!!! How awesome!!! So happy for you!!! :). I'm on my phone as well so I can't send you anything cool! Lol!

Thank you LoveMyTico. Makes sesne I guess. But what I fail to understand is that if NVC has the schdule of all theor embassies across the board, why do they wait to schdule the interviews. I mean they already know who they have schduled so far and what opening they have in their emabssies then why wait for days or weeks to give out the dates?

The embassy only sends out the availability schedule once every month or so I'm assuming. It's not like NVC has their schedule for the entire year. So, once NVC fills up the entire schedule of a month or so, then they have to wait until they get the next schedule.

Bdrew, jsumner, and sukie, I'm watching out for your good news next!! :yes: Pulling for you guys!

Awesome! Congrats! I hope we don't get a checklist! I will have to tell my wife!!!

Lovemytico. Me and my wife will find you on Facebook. We've been cheering for you all the way! Will send you a pm!

I called this morning, only because I didn't get through last night. Mz Meg was helpful! I asked if I was getting a check list. She said "you ARE getting a check list, but not for the AOS. Those were accepted and approved". I told her my IV docs have been there since the 16th so now I can stop calling for a few days! Then I told her she made my week lol

Then I proceeded to dance in the kitchen in my jammies. Saylin! I couldn't have done this without your wiki for reals!!!!

LoveMyTico, I am on the facebook! I don't think I have that e-mail anymore with your name on it, though... I'll send you a PM :)

Wow, my mobile really messed that reply up!!

Thanks BOSLHR! Hope to hear some good news for all of us!! Cannot believe it's been over a year with this process! I'm surprised I still have hair. :rofl:

Maaaaan, I miss me some DD!!! I remember being in Boston a few years ago and there was literally one on every corner!

Now the closest DD is in Illinois (booooooo).

I told Agent Meg she made my week and told her to have a great day, I could tell she was smiling when we hung up. I hope everyone who gets her gets good news and a pleasant attitude!

My husband has developed quite the taste for their donuts ^_^ There are 3 locations within a mile of our house, it's crazy! If you find yourself in Boston again we'll have a coffee date for sure :D

Just an update, our IV documents got scanned in the system on June 2nd. Chelley also told me that my DS-260 is currently on review and that there's an email coming our way regarding some required revisions for our AOS. Hopefully our AOS will be a quick fix and praying for no checklist on our IV documents.

they don't have a special time. When the embassy provides the dates, they schedule ... if your embassy doesn't fill up on the first week of scheduling, then the scheduling is on-going.

ohhhh ok ok. Thank you Saylin. I thought since NVC is doing all the schduling they already have the schdule of what they have schduled so far interms of interviews.

Nope, NVC is dependent on the embassy giving them the schedule. So, the more openings and the more often they provide a schedule, the more interviews are scheduled at a specific embassy.

I suggest you go to my wiki and read step 9, the interview section. Follow my advice and you can get a good estimate of when you should expect an interview date to be assigned.

My husband has developed quite the taste for their donuts ^_^ There are 3 locations within a mile of our house, it's crazy! If you find yourself in Boston again we'll have a coffee date for sure :D

It's a date! If you and your husband ever find yourselves in Minneapolis, we'll have to go to Glam Doll donuts - they're AMAZING!!

And, there are quite a few anglophiles here and there's a local DJ here that LOVES Morrissey (I know that's up your hubby's alley lol)
