NVC Filers - July 2014

[Abby&Mario 100]

Today marks 37 business days since NVC received our DS-261. I thought it was 36, but the business day calendar online has been automatically set to Argentina this whole time and I didn't notice. Oops. We've been "under review" for more than a week now. I've already spoken to a supervisor (complete waste of my time). There's nothing else to be done but wait. ####.

We're still waiting on the IV invoice. Super annoying! And I'm doing my usual freak-out over visiting the US with this stupid thing pending (yeah I know I'll 99.9% be fine, but still ). Stupid stupid STUPID!!!

Which supervisor did you speak to? We got Sue and she was of no use.

I just now called NVC I did not wait much time. only 18 minutes. Got a lady and did not catch the name. My DS261 was received on 6/11 and 30 business days is over on 7/25. I mentioned that 30 business days is over and she said they have some issues with their web site. She said she will send my case to a supervisor to review it. I asked for any date that I can get it done. She said she cannot say any date.

My wife's and step daughter's DS261 was originally submitted on 6/4. My wife's one was accepted on 6/18, but my daughters was resubmitted and accepted on 6/11 (after seeing incomplete), But I am still waiting for my step daughters DS 261 to be accepted so that I can pay IV bill.

Sorry Saylin. I could not fill the XL sheet with the times because, I cannot open from the office computer the XL sheet. I am so busy taking care of the kids. No time to open my own computer at home.

The "Yoda Sheet 2.0", as it's been dubbed, isn't actually "available" at the moment. It was just an idea and not sure if I'll still use it or not as some people said that the original is sufficient. Soooo...

Let's start it from first August

Eid Mubarak all my Muslim friends! I m feeling really down. Just skyped with hubby and my family there. I can't believe anther eid has passed without him. And the worst part is that even the end of this stupid journey is not visible right now. I wish I had my case complete and interview date In hand that would have made a lil happy. But I m halpy for those who actually made it this month to be reunited with families and can celebrate eid together

Haha, I'd like to, but people will need to fill out a new request form, and actually fill it out with all the dates.

If the current request form is any indication, I'm going to have even more problems

I don't know. My heart was pounding and I was trying not to jumble my words as I always do once I finally get to talk to a human, so her name went in one ear and out the other. Sorry. But yeah, she said exactly what the phone operator said-- it is under review, but they can't even give me a prediction of when it will finally become available, that they're really busy, and that's it.

So sorry that you are still waiting, I cannot believe it

It's okay, I feel bad for the people who had to deal with the USCIS backlog and are now dealing with the NVC one. We at least had great luck with USCIS.

You will be fine visiting US. I do mine every other weekend. No problems. Just sail right through.

Sorry about the IV bill thing.

So AustinCanada…a question --- You are doing regular mail process…but haven't they approved your AOS package already? Wow they are taking a long time.

So in 30 business days of each package (hopefully) you will find out if the package is complete or you get a checklist right? This means your AOS package should be pretty close to 30 business days, right? And the IV package will be sometime in end of august, if we follow the "regular" timeline of 30 business days.

I just called NVC. I was on hold for only 12 minutes!

I talked to Lisa (she was nice!) and she told me that they scanned my IV package on Friday. It arrived at NVC on Tuesday so they're scanning packages in 3 business days now. It took them 4 business days to scan my AOS package so they're scanning packages faster.

Now, all I have to do is wait until a CC (or checklist)! I can relax a little bit and enjoy the summer.

Sorry about the IV bill thing.

Please don't say "will be" as you make it sound like it's 100% chance. It is ALWAYS up to the customs officer to let you in or not. Although chances are high for those visiting from Canada and VWP countries, there will never be a 100% guarantee of being let in. I'm proof, was denied twice at the border

I like the idea of issuing check lists. Maybe with a nice message attached?

*quietly laughs at work*

I'll create another account here, maybe called SaylinChecklist (?), and just issue "checklists" (aka PMs) from there. I'd do it from this account, but my inbox is already at like 80% full

I can even format it slightly to NVC's checklists

Oh geez, those NVC check lists read like stereo instructions!

I'll pretend that my photo will be attached to all check lists, too!

Don't worry, I was planning on saving that photo when I got home and include it in the "checklist". If you want the checklist to sound better, haha, you can always write up a format for me to use
