NVC Filers - August 2014

[jsumner86 403]

Unless what I got is a standard generic email designed to break your spirit and heart. Then I can confirm I am over the 30 days and way over the Jun 16th they quoted in the email to me. The email said 60 days from Jun 16th therefore it is not 30-40. So I think we should discount that false hope.

I know. We were over the 30 business day for a checklist that was in error from June 13th. We didn't receive our case complete until last Monday. I can understand your frustration. I wasn't defending them. There were other people who have been at NVC for a long time where they went over the 30 business days. There are a few and far in between that do well go over 35 business days.

CASE COMPLETE! Scan date 6/23!

Congrats Cupake!

Sorry to seem selfish but how did you complain and get something done, because you scanned after me and any tips would be appreciated.

I think am with you on this. My 60days email says June 10th, which is so incorrect. My AOS package was received June 11th and scanned June 13th {my AOS is already approved}, and my IV was scanned July 31st, so if I want to go by their date, that means today would have been 56th day out of their 60 days quote. So what then happens to my IV package scanned July 31st? Another 60days wait????

I guess this 60days email have been programmed to send out emails in batches irrespective of whatever date they received our documents.

I don't think my complaining helped. I honestly just complained about getting the 60 day email the business day prior to my 30 business day point. I reiterated that that seemed convenient for them. I also mentioned what my checklist was for and how something so minor was holding me up. The supervisor admitted he couldn't help me. I followed up by thanking him for proving to me that our government is incompetent and thanks for not helping me. That was it...I honestly don't think this had anything to do with my case complete. I honestly was due to be today regardless.

You are all sorts of awesome!

Thanks for your reply, you are a star! Your case makes me think the email is a standard blanket email everyone is getting, but who knows, I do not understand how they process the applications. Thanks you anyway!

I couldn't hold it in any longer. That 60 day email was the last straw.

Yes I do know there is a backlog. The backlog doesn't explain why our DS-261 that we submitted on May 30th hasn't been reviewed, but someone else's that was submitted on June 20th has been. Even our AOS has been reviewed already and that was scanned in on something like June 16th.

I would say most people who submitted the DS-261 after us have their IV invoice now. I don't think the majority of us have been waiting two months for this thing. If it was everybody in May/early June that is still waiting, then I would understand and not keep pestering NVC. As it is, we've stopped pestering because we've all but given up. If they want to take another 60 days to look at it then what can we do? Nothing. It's still frustrating though to watch everyone else who filed the DS-261 after us wait for their case complete while we're still stuck on the IV invoice.

ETA: I never received the email everyone has been talking about so had I not been coming here every day, I'd have no idea.

I just called again about our IV invoice. Even though my DS-261 was apparently reviewed on Friday, Brielle talked to a supervisor and put me on hold, came back, and said I'd have to wait a few more business days, but that it should come up by the end of the week. I just don't understand. I still suspect we might have been set back by our embassy change, but they didn't mention any new date today. I don't know why the hell you haven't been able to pay yours yet. That's just insane.

SECOND CALL about the letter. First she told me 60 business days. Then I asked her to check because I was told 60 calendar days by another operator on Friday.

She came back and said: 60 CALENDAR DAYS FROM THE DATE ON YOUR LETTER. She said that this would be for the review and an answer would come a few days after that. She also said if you get a checklist? It adds another 60 calendar days onto that date.

This is my second confirmation on this. Please stop posting 60 BUSINESS days (which sends the board [and me! hahahaha] into a frenzy).

Thank you for taking the time to call and report back!

Well, I called this morning about changing our embassy BACK to Bogotá (among other things). Apparently we have to sent proof that his "work order" will be up soon. Brielle said that was the most important thing. LOLOLOLOL how about we shouldn't have to send a goddamn thing since the only reason we have to do this is because of NVC's own incompetence? It took from May 24-July 18 to make the last change, who wants to bet on how long this one will take?

Happy Monday, everyone!

If it is 60 calendar days, I am on 50 by the date on the letter I received. I am starting to wonder I should take a trip to see my wife, who is really heart broken (I know I may seem crazy but you all understand how it is to see your loved one so hurt). Does anyone from the UK have an idea of how long it can take for our interview once you get case closed? Is it massively variable, or reasonably predictable?

Most UK filers have their interviews roughly 6-8 weeks from case complete. Swing by the interview thread and take a look at Dwheels' awesome spreadsheet to get the latest stats. For us, we had CC April 3 and interview May 19.

I concur. Case Complete June 16th, interview date August 29th (I then turned into a turbo bi+ch and our interview was moved to August 6th).

Did you get check listed at some stage? What was your last scan date?

Turbo This is my favorite thing today so far.
