The NVC Moral Support/Ranting Thread

[romii 150]

Anyone following the group on Facebook? Do we know what date they are on right now?

I deactivated my account, since i was getting fed up with all my friends and their spouses tagging themselves in on random adventures and all the pictures. I know I should be happy for people, and I am, but it's very hard to sit by and watch it all. Just to avoid my negativity towards others, I thought it'll be best to just walk away and what you don't see can't hurt you, that's the logic I'll stick to.

Made a huge difference, I was much happier today.

A lady on facebook got CC and her scan date was July 28. NVC is still working around July 24-July 28.

July 24 - 28th. They made a huge progress yesterday so they're probably taking a break today.

They start moving fast and then get stuck on some random date! I was hoping they'd get done with July this week at least.

You're absolutely right!! they must have actually worked a couple of hours overtime!

Thanks, Tavotevi. That's probably because i'm only early in the process. Unfortunately, NVC likes to hand out checklists (that add 60 days) for very small reasons so it might not always look this smooth sailing.

My husband is being "removed" from my country (UK) in a couple of weeks for no reason other than I used to be a US resident and the UK thinks I can move back. My 5 year old daughter and I are heartbroken but if i'm lucky with the rest of the process we should all be reunited by January (I hope).

Be sure to fill out your signature and keep your timeline up to date. Also, feel free to complain and share your thoughts. The people in this thread are quite lovely

If you have done everything right so far im sure you will be receiving good news soon! Stay positive ? i know how you feel, me and my daughter came back from mexico so she can start her new school year here..it was heartbreaking to leave my husband, specially because i dont think we can afford another trip soon! It might be until his jnterview ? who knows how long that will take.. Im trying to tell myself itll be not more than 6 months ? ill definetly keep posting on this thread..but sometimes i feel clueless and dont want to ask a silly question! Lol

I am confused, what does this mean? I thought you were waiting for CC?

Sounds sort of like what happened to me. The rep on the phone told me they were waiting on my AOS checklist response, when it had already been reviewed and my case was filed. However, the reviewer did not complete my case and it was appearing they were still waiting for the documents they had reviewed already. It took a supervisor pulling my file and reviewing it again to get my case complete.

When the rep told me they would log a supervisor review and it would take 60 days, I started crying and they finally let me speak directly to a supervisor who was able to get my file and review it in only 3 business days. Keep calling until they let you speak to a supervisor, you have waited long enough!

Daily ranting.

I thought about fake crying when I talked to an NVC operator and supervisor while I was waiting for the IV fee invoice since it was taking forever.

I should have fake cried. I may have gotten the IV fee invoice sooner than 40 calender days.

Maybe I'll fake cry to get an earlier interview date!

So I called NVC and spoke with Gus. He was very nice and answered all of my questions. Basically he said that we got that email because our DS-260 Form was reviewed and accepted recently but they didn't find any AOS or IV docs for me. (Of course, since my lawyer recently mailed them yesterday). He said not to worry about it.

I also told him that we did not include the Police Certificates for Malalysia and Lebanon as we're currently waiting for them and I told him our lawyer included a letter explaining this and he said that is perfect. He told me that NVC does not necessarily need the Originals and as long as we mail a scan copy to the NVC, they should be able to approve our case and my husband can take the originals when he has his interview. Doesn't sound correct right? Just in case...as soon as my husband gets the Lebanon Police Certificate we'll send them to NVC just to be safe.

I asked him to confirm the address where to send the documents and this is what he gave me:

National Visa Center

Attn: DR

31 Rochester Avenue, Suite 100

Portsmouth, NH 03801-2914

I hope any of this info is helpful to someone. Also for anyone needing a background check for Lebanon, it's quicker if you have a friend or relative currently living in Lebanon do it for you on your behalf since it's quicker (About 20 -30 days) instead of doing it thru the Lebanon Embassy in your country (which can take up to 6mos or you may never receive it.)

Gus told me to wait 60 days to review & approve my docs once they get them but he said they're working very hard to reduce that (he said working OT).

SOLOENTA!!! Where is your CC?? Praying for you and everyone else here waiting for a CC!!

Oh so happy, a step in the right direction wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooo the other stuff will get there soon no worries.

I called NVC and spoke to Amanda same old same old and she must have heard my voice crack and I told her what the two supervisors said about the AOS that is was accepted so she asked me to wait came back and said they should have moved my case a long a few days ago. That my AOS has some mistakes and I don't believe that because a genius helped me actually did the whole thing for me so not sure what mistakes they are talking about and said I'll be getting an e-mail about that but to send it to the Embassy corrected. I freaked out because my computer crashed and I lost everything but checked in case I had hard copies and yup sure enough I do.

Yes Amanda same thing happened to me but I know my AOS was approved and with no flaws but now they are saying there are flaws which is impossible because of who filled them out for me. A genius really.

So as of now, with no e-mail or Paid changing to N/A and only on the word of Amanda I have CC. I want to thank all of you for being here for me when I needed you and you know who you are. There are so many but just a few Maria&Abdo , MoBar a fountain of knowledge and logic a genius, My angel's Samreen &, EOC4ever , Austin , TM , Romii , Jsumner which I thank so much for lending me his beautiful wife's time when I needed her the most, Anuspras , Amanda , e&g , Robisons , BatmanFlow , ArthurandMarcela I miss you girl, Altito , NordicTim , Tavotevi , IslAmy , Ketsuban , TargetNovember 14 , AmberG , Bdrew612 , CanGir l, Changnoi , Etrangais , Hope88 , Kokokoko , Lucky79 , Lakehouse , Mandy_Amro , Megwin , Meg 654 ,

Oh, my tears were completely real. This was after 67 days of waiting for my AOS checklist to be reviewed and they were trying to tell me out of the blue they hadn't received it and I was going to need to wait another 60 days for a supervisor to review it. And it was there all along.

Not fake at all.
