NVC Filers - July 2014

Is it necessary to call nvc to find out the interview date?

It's not necessary but it is the quickest way to find out your interview date. That being said, they have not started scheduling September interviews, so unless you have a hungering for their hold music, hang tight until the middle of next week. They typically start scheduling the last few days of the month.

Is there any reason to get two original police certs or is one going to do the trick??

You need to check to see if you need one for the medical.

Should be fine with one, London Knightsbridge will take a photocopy of the police cert when you go for your medical.

In a word: Insurance.

In the UK, the cert application is 45GBP and requires you to get your mother's cousin's neighbor's plumber's barrister [slight exaggeration] to sign your application. One additional certificate costs 6 quid. I say just get it in case NVC or someone else [my f'ing attorney for example] loses a copy along the way.

Naaaaah, I know how to manage things, unlike USCIS and NVC

I wouldn't mind working as a data entry personnel. I can help you input all the entries.

That made me laugh.

Anyways, sorry for the long post, but any thoughts on this? Anything else I should maybe add (without making the spreadsheet ridiculously long as it likely will be after all this )?

It would be moderately helpful being able to track time to scan from package reception. Also, getting the scan date requires calling the NVC which not everyone might want to do.

But having both "date received" and "date scanned" columns might be overkill. I don't know or care that much. I'll let you decide.

Thanks for putting all this work and thought into the spreadsheet!

My wife called the NVC and actually got an operator who wasn't messing her about. Her name was Karson. She explained to her what happened, all the dates we spoke to the supervisors, what other agents said etc.. It's been 26 business days now. She got in contact with supervisor Sylvia and she said she didn't know anything about what was going on but, she was going to get in contact with the DR (document review) department to see what is bloody taking them so long. She said if we had any other questions to contact her and ask for her directly, and she would e-mail us asap when she finds out anything and gets it done. Fingers-crossed that our waiting will be done this week!!!

I got two police certificates, just in case anything happens to the one am sending to NVC.

Haha, thanks for the offer, but no one besides myself will ever work on the spreadsheet

Hmm, that is a good point. Another time tick to track

I should make it a requirement that one has to call NVC to get all these dates, otherwise you won't be allowed on my spreadsheet

Yes, we got an extra copy just in case.. cost us £6 ($10.24) for it . Plus we made another photocopy of the photocopy just in case . You should be fine.

You found one of the good ones!! Hopefully this is a sign your case complete is on its way soon!

You made a copy of a copy? It's like copy-ception (if you haven't watched the movie Inception, go watch it )

And I'm thinking about adding a few pages to the beginning of my request form, specifically asking if Armenia is listed as consulate (since this is the reason like 75% of people don't get added) and if they answer yes, they can't continue. Same goes for their timeline being up to date (I often see people updating that their case is complete yet have the NOA2 as the last date on their timeline ). I can definitely add in a 'have you read the wiki' page

I bloody hope so.. I would pay for their Disney trip if they get it done!
