I would call back if I was you to double check!

This is ridiculous! what the hell is going with NVC? did they get the USCIS virus?

Call back and ask to speak to a supervisor and find out what the issue is and you will deal with it at the embassy.

Do you have someone else tied to your case? I was told that my stepson's case was complete, but then I had to wait another week for my wife's case to be finished. Then, on the day they told me her case was also complete, they told me that the official case complete date for my stepson was the same as hers (though it was a week later than they originally told me). So if two cases are linked, it may be that they're waiting to complete the second case to be wrapped up. Good luck!

I tried calling back straight away (wish I just asked for a supervisor right then!), but it gave me the busy signal over and over again for over an hour so I gave up and went to sleep. Awake now so calling again. I will ask for a supervisor. *sigh*. I hope the person just didn't know what they were talking about.

They already sent me a checklist for things that I am meant to take the the interview so maybe she saw that and thought my case wasn't complete? We don't have anyone else tied to the case. :/ Hopefully I can figure this all out today!

Thanks for the advice everyone! xx

Approved!!! My husband was approved this morning. He said he has too much paperwork. They didn't take our 2013 tax info and it was easier than he expected! They asked him how we met and when we go

hehe. And you know what I had ordered a neat rubber stamp when we got case# and every page (1291 pages) were all stamped with case# and at USCIS I had rubber stamp made with our full names so that too was on every page.

I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow try to blame you for what happened, instead of apologizing.

Check with your embassy.

Moroccan PCC is only valid for 3 months. BUT, in the US consulate Casablanca website, it says if the PCC is withing a year, it is fine.

So, I would suggest you check with your consulat or embassy first.
