NVC Filers - September 2014

[romii 150]

I tried to retreive the document through the post office but they told me that they were already sent and they can't retreive them.

I think you should call up NVC on Monday and confirm. If they ask for you to send in the copy, it'll only be a couple of days apart...so won't be that bad.

Let's hope NVC will help make a copy for themself.

I don't know how you guys are handling it, I'm still waiting for IV fee to be posted to be paid. This process is taking so long its effecting me emotionally in so many ways. I can't eat or work properly, I miss the wife so much right now, I'm waking up crying in the middle of the night. I know it sounds funny coming from a guy, but I've never felt like this my entire life up till now. I try hitting the gym even harder and many other activities but it's just not helping.

I can tell you boldly that its not easy for everyone else. Am so sorry for how you feel, this immigration process is not easy at all and most time it makes one depress and frustrated. All I can say is that I pray the almighty God should give u and all of us the strength and power to carry on.

Just hang in there, and like my hubby usually say, NVC can't delay us forever and no matter how long the immigration process is, we will be together and then we will forget that this nightmare ever exists.

I understand how you feel. Yes it is real hard. I try writing down what I'm grateful for, excercising, praying. It affects every area of my life. And my wife does not understand why it is taking so long and at times doubt if I am doing all I can to bring her here. I have never felt so powerless in my life. I try to take it a day at a time and hold on to what hope I have that this will be over soon and we will be together. I have learned to lower my exspectations when it comes to the NVC. I know if you focus on the problem it gets bigger and that I should try hard to stay focused on the solution. Its just sometimes I don't know what the solutions is in this process.I even found myself praying for the people at the NVC lately to keep from getting to mad at them when I talk to an operator and get the "you need to wait for 60days till you call", I'm so tired of hearing that. I wish you well, just know you are not alone.

Yeah.. but I can't make a copy because they have it. But I will call Monday.

Make sure to put the case number, the beneficiary's name and birth date, the petitioner's name, two phone numbers to contact the beneficiary, and any supporting documentation (e.g. medical records, etc.)

Please help me!!! I just realized that when I sent in my wifes police report from the NBI I did not send a photocopy of it with it. I did not make a photocopy at all. I was in a hurry to send it because we sent in the wrong police report when I sent the IV package. Please give me some advice on what to do.

Is it only the NBI that you didn't send a photocopy with NVC? I guess it wouldn't be a problem. I only sent my wife's original NBI as well but I got her personal copy. It's not also indicated in Saylin's wiki that you need to send a photocopy of police clearance/NBI(Philippines).

Hope it's a normal one and not expedite. Remember last month they did really good (about 2 months after cc) to schedule egypt interview. I really really hope the embassy is better now And we dont have to wait 6months for interview after CC. I will check out the interview date thread later and see if anyone from egypt has gotten interview dates. Keep us posted if that person replies and says if it was/ was not an expedite.

Maria they answered me back the following.

"no i didn't expedite my case .. now there's no lottery interviews in the embassy anymore, so i think that the reason our interview been faster than before."

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY ARE CATCHING UP! WOW what great and unexpected news this is.

[Soloenta 2,218]

You sent your package on July 22nd, and they scanned it on July 24th? That may be a typo!

I FedExed mine on July 21st and it arrived at NVC on July 22nd. They told me that my scan date was July 25th.

Maybe my scan date is earlier? Who knows how they work since they're super disorganized?

Hahahaa well, I think my plan worked I wasn't sure but I am now. When I sent the package I folded a Bar Code sheet to show my husbands name and bar code only put that outside the package I put inside the USPS Express envelope then I did the same to the other one showing the CMR and my husbands name in hopes they wouldn't have to actually open my package so they could just scan it as is. I do believe it worked no one had to open it to get the information they needed to put it in their system. Just a possibility.

another question please, do they call the numbers we are providing ? and what are they going to ask ?

[Soloenta 2,218]

Thanks for sharing this! I've heard alot of interviews in Cairo are like this...and the CO also asks tricky questions (about specific dates) to confuse the beneficiary (especially if beneficiary is a guy) and then after the interview the dreaded AP....? So we still have some ways to go but praying all goes well for everyone and our husbands get a nice CO. I think I've read 1-2 good reviews for the Cairo embassy...at least we know so we can prepare. Best of luck for all of us

Yes read two nice ones but the beneficiary was Christian and yes we need to prepare our husbands sad to say it should be natural not prepared. I mean prepared as to hopefully keep them calms so they don't tear the plexy glass down to strangle them.

I just hope they speed up real quick this coming new week. Their work rate this last few weeks is equal to zero.

Am hoping to have a CC in 2-3weeks and heaven forbids I get a checklist, I doubt if I'll survive it. :dead:

I sweet heart I've been praying it speeds up for all of us and I know it will. Next week will be a normal week for them so they should go back to their routine, not the best but better than last week. This is a scary and tiring journey for all of us.
