Happy Monday to you Ebu and thank you so much we shall see if this is our week. :D Don't want to get to excited. (L)

We're not selling our apartment on the Red Sea either for the same reasons, well most of them hahaa our first place and we fixed it just the way we liked it from scratch. It's all paid for and taxes are tiny so why not. :D

Yes I don't think I could have left my homeland knowing I would never see it again. Must have been so devastating for everyone plus communication was so slow. :(

:) Happy it's not that way anymore. But come to think of it to get family to come visit us to the USA it so difficult, I understand why in some case but not in most. (F) (L) (F)

One thing I wish VJ would have that would make it perfect is real time chat. Maybe even with voice that would be so cool. :D

Oh don't worry my dear, I have a good feeling that your case will be complete this week.

Hi Yamil

I am sorry you were check listed for your IV docs. What was it for?

No I do not have a CC. I am going to call NVC on Monday but while they looked at my AOS checklist and accepted it I don't believe they have looked at the IV one yet. The scan date on that one is 29th Aug so we have another few weeks to wait yet.

Try and get your checklist to them ASAP so that you can get the clock ticking.

I will let you know what they say when I have spoken to them.

Hi msc13, I called them... Told me I have to send the penal records and wait 60 more days, they didnt review my first checklist yet, but they accepted my ds260... I alrready sent the penal record by email because it says I can do it in the checklist email but they told it is not possible, I will send the paper in two hours, it is 6am here in Peru so I am only waiting to get Fedex open............it is really so hard, I cannot believe it and I feel so so bad, I feel like i did a bad work in this process :(

Alright jcruzazucar and ritbiv and any others that had their I-130 approvals shipped in August - Ours was finally received September 12th at the NVC. Looks like we all get to update something in our timeline todays (crossing fingers for everyone else as well!) - Hopefully this means the CC's that are in end of July are steadily moving too!

GOOD Luck and Happy Monday!

My husband just recieved a snail mail telling us that they updated our mailing address/email address when we didn't change anything. And it was addressed to me. Should I call on Monday to check? I did give them our email addresses on 9th of June. This surely can't be the mail addressing to there months before right? :wow:

I got the mail about three weeks ago for my husband. It was sent to my address but had his name and all the case info. It was a very vague one saying either the mailing/email address has changed so I called them up. The first rep said something had changed back in June and now I'm getting the mail in August. Which didn't make any sense so I spoke with another rep and she said maybe my husband was mailed out a letter and then a confirmation of his address came back. Hubby did receive a letter from them in June, so she said sometimes when they confirm the address in another country, they update the address on file. She also said it could be a slight update of a comma or dash; based on the forms we fill out.

She said I can't really say what the reason was, but she said it wasn't really sufficient. So just call and confirm the addresses they have and if they are correct then you're good to go. :)

I don't think it will take that long to get a answer for your Expedite maybe 7 to 10 days. :D
