Nope, I keep expedites (I do indicate though when one is expedited) ;) But if you want me to remove you, I can. I have no qualms keeping ya on there :no:

Yeah, not only is it easier for me to see the update, but it's also easier to fill the form in with just the updates and the required NOA2 date (so I can you on the spreadsheet [if one actually gives me the proper NOA2 date]).

I can only imagine the amount of updates you get on a daily basis, yet you always update it within a day or two. Why can't NVC be that efficient? :P

hey i paid the aos and iv fees.

now for iv package the saylin's wiki says i have to put PCC in it.

but mumbai consulate wonder for PCC on the interview.

now what to do

and if its compulsary then when to appy for pcc now or wait for my aos bill says paid?

- PCC is compulsory( as mention on saylin's wiki, which is correct). It is better you apply ASAP, for me it took 16 days to get PCC (depend on location).

I guess you will get 2 copies of your PCC. 1 of them you need to include it with IV package. 2nd copie you can keep it for Consulate for interview.

I think on average I get around 10-20 per day, less so on the weekends. And yeah, I try to update once in the mornings before work (I always wake up to like 5 or so updates from overnight), then once or twice more after I get home from work. If I have time at work, I sometimes update here too :P

And yes, if only NVC was as efficient! Although, they get quite a lot more than just 10-20 cases :rofl:

Haha, that is indeed true! They should start sending me files, I can probably review them faster than their own workers :lol:

Shoooot, bdrew and I were talking about reviewing people's documents before sending them off to USCIS or NVC as an Immigration Counseling Service instead of a lawyer, and we could be bankin' by charging even less than half of what the base charge is! haha. So we review them before we send them to you. Deal? :idea:
