called NVC and they received by case, so that's a small progress. Now the wait for the case number and IIN.

I was reading others timelines and just the receive the case it took more than a month for some. I am glad mine was around 20 days only after approval

Race you to the back of the elevator. According to Saylin, thats the hot spot.

I'm going to put your worries to an end then. I had my interview Wednesday and my passport is available for pick up today. That's 2 days. Now if you go back and look at Canadians over the past months,

Merry Christmas to you all as the holidays loom upon us! I still have this thread followed, and just want to express that Saylin's general NVC thread is still a wealth of information that would help

Ok so AOS fee shows paid, IV fee shows paid. Lawyer snail mailed all documents on July 8th. "Civil Documents" section on CEAC website shows "N/A" - does this mean they just haven't scanned the documents? Or that they haven't marked them as received yet??

Lawyer felt I would get case complete within next 2-3 weeks.

I am trying not to get my hopes up TOO much, given the system crash and subsequent delays.....

Peace all.

Mine says n/a as well. I think it always does. I hope you get a case complete today!!

I just got off the phone with the NVC and was told that they are now taking 60 days (total, not business) to review emails instead of 30 business days because of their backlog. I really need to stop calling to check on my case, it's so discouraging. :crying:

I suggest that if you are trying to decide between doing EP or snail mail, go snail mail.

How annoying. Maybe we all can take a road trip and help them work at the NVC. I think it's 60 days for all files (or at least that's what every else is saying)

I have a note on my calendar to call them 2nd week of August. I didn't get any email like other ppl either. So more waiting. My hopes to be there by thanksgiving are down the drain.

I see there's a thread on the main VJ page about people getting emails from NVC saying they are taking 60 days to review documents. I've not received any email, nor has my lawyer. I'm setting my hopes on a September interview, with a move date by late October or early November.

I'm determined NOT to start calling NVC, but I'm kind of wimpy that way when it comes to self control about this process, so I probably will if I haven't heard anything in 10 days or so. LOL

For this long weekend in Canada, I'm starting to pack stuff up in earnest. At least that will make me feel like things are progressing!

Peace all.

:goofy:

Hey. I haven't received an email either, so I'm hoping its is not 60 days.

Online I notice that my AOS support fee was changed from paid to N/A. I read on the NVC forum that this means they are working on the case.

Check online. I'm going to wait a few days before calling.

I have not received any delay email either. I am hoping as well that since we were in the system before the glitch we might be a little luckier and not have much of a delay...

Submitted DS261 - July 19th, I am HOPING for an early October interview for us, and I think that is best case scenario.

30 Business days from July 19 puts us at September 2. From there we are expecting 1-1.5 months for our interview. Trying to stay positive!

Hey all,

Just an update. I was going to wait for an email but called and found out I got a case complete on July 31.

The online system updated my status from paid to n/a. Think that correlates to the system updating the status.

Wah!! At least it won't take as long as USCIS stage did, that just about killed me.

Our DS260 was filed July 8th, so I'm hoping maybe my interview will fall somewhere around my wedding anniversary Sept 26th.....Maybe a more expensive anniversary than we planned if that's the case, but at least it would be double celebration!!

I shall continue to hurry up and wait............sigh.
