Wasn't kicked out ... just being a smarty pants since people complain about the number of posts that go on in that thread. Since many people don't read the wiki or NVC instructions they don't want to

I'm FEELING GOOD! I just got CC (Case Complete)! Scan date: July 25th. AOS changed to "N/A" and called NVC to confirm it. Goodbye NVC! Hello Montreal Consulate!

Just spoke with NVC rep. {I care less about her name} she gave me the usual BS 60days quote. Asked her what date they are working on, she said she doesn't have access to that info, told me to call back September 30. SMH for NVC

I got the : we don't have a range of dates we are working on, but it takes 60 days bla- bla-bla... I get more accurate info from my VJ family then from the people whose paycheck we pay with our fees.

They should let people bring their checklist to the interview if it's a minor issue like not writing n/a in the residential address lines :( :(

Why must they drag it out for such a minor, teensy weensy detail! :cry::clock:

The operator I spoke with few minutes ago was so rude too. Told me the same old story of 60days to get my last document reviewed. As we were about to end the conversation, she made jest of me, she laughed, said something I didn't hear and then said CALL BACK SEPTEMBER 30 and then dropped the call, she's really pathetic, I guess she was making fun of me.

I know my document will be reviewed today or latest next week. Can't wait to get done with this BS from NVC.

**Thats the reason why my hubby hates calling NVC, most times am the one that usually do the calling**

Oh sweetheart, I'm sorry you were treated so badly by that operator... Just put a thick skin on every time you call them and stay persistent because you can benefit from staying on top with nvc. Nothing to be gained from staying offended, or by not calling them because they are such a pain in the tuchas.

I bet you two got the same agent. Some of them are on a mission to spread their misery far and wide.

Yeah you are right.

Same thing happened when my hubby called to get our case number, the rep refused to give my hubby our IIN, she said my hubby should call back after 1week. But I called the next working day and got it. NVC reps are so pathetic.

If only I had known that I'd be going through this process, I would have seriously considered applying at NVC. :rofl:

Btw you should call back and be like this rep earlier told me there was an update on my case and then the call dropped, can you please tell me what it is?

At first they denied reviewing my papers too, I called back and said the rep said I had an update and then the second rep just gave away all the details! Try it seriously :lol:

Yea they keep saying that for everything. Even when you have like a day left for it to be 60 days.

Thanks darling. The operator is a very miserable lady, I was almost crying after speaking with her. I know all this are just test of our faith and love, so therefore NVC or immigration process can't break us.
