Yes have spoken to several supervisors, they say no to everything. Some are nice some not so much. Octavio and Sylvia were a total disappointment

Thank you my dear I will do just that, it can't hurt. :( God bless you and thank you so much for your prayers I really need them. (L) (L)

and I could hardly understand Octavio.

Tell me please did you tell your dear mother about CC and interview and what did she say? :D(L) (L)

I told mom on Saturday morning. She was quiet on the phone for a moment and I thought the connection fell through. Then she told me, she is afraid to be happy about it. I told her when I am arriving in Bulgaria (on 11/16) to be with her at the interview. She remained very calm, like doubting Thomas from the Bible... I know what she was thinking: "I will believe it when I see it." My poor mom, I totally understand how she feels, because I, myself am afraid to feel relieved that this trial of our nerves is almost over. I think she and I, we will both celebrate after POE.

When did you send your AOS and IV packets? It should take about 60 days after last packet is scanned into their system, provided no checklist is issued.

I have interview date for 11/20. Soloenta needs our prayers though. She should have been out of NVC by now.....

Soloenta sending you a bigg giant hug sweety! I don't know why NVC is this cruel. :cry:

I want to see your CC as bad as, if not more, than my own. This world is very cruel, I thought at least the immigration system wouldn't put up such a discrimination but I guess I was wrong. :(

This time too shall pass. Time always does. Think about the end and how none of this will matter. I know it's hard to see it yet but inshAllah it will come. They say when God takes something away from you, it's because he wants to bless you with something big so he's just paving the way for your happiness. Have faith and inshAllah good things will come through.

Call NVC and ask for scan dates for your AOS and IV packages. From what I see, NVC is working mid August paperwork, so your turn is coming soon. NVC will be able to say if/when AOS is approved, if there is a checklist, etc, and you can guestimate when the IV packet will be reviewed - 60 days after the scan date. Now I sound like a dreaded NVC operator, regurgitating the 60 day speech they gave us so many times, and we so utterly hate here on VJ. LOL!

What about sending your own birth certificate? That is a solid proof of relationship between you and your co-sponsor. Even though it doesn't make sense...What is the importance of the relationship between persons filing AOS? Once AOS is signed its a contract between the signatory/s and the government, not a contract between you and your co-sponsor/the other signatory........

Because when I was a baby at POE immigration took it and never gave it back and I can't get another one much information was lost when birth , death and marriage certificates were sent to the capital. But they want my parents marriage certificate and I think we have that. :(

First thing, first graphics-welcome-010883.gif to the thread.

I know exactly how you feel and I don't even have words when it comes to NVC I want it wiped out of my mind forever! You can come and Rant, cry and blow off steam when ever you want this is why this thread was made. Praying you don't get a checklist for anything at any time. t4582.gif

In the same boat scan dates 8/8 IV and 9/9 checklist. I was hopeing for cc last week then call Wensday and was told the rules for reviewing went into affect that day, they were reviewing 8/8 that day. I have been crushed since then trying to find a light at the end of this tunnel. And my wife just can't understand she's at her wits end. The stress and depression, I pray everyday. I find myself just wanting to block everything out. Best wishes to all. You are not alone.

there is NOTHING to be ashamed about. If they would have told me what they told you, and did what they are doing to you, I would by crying NON_STOP. This is total BS. I am really sorry. Really sorry. I know it is so painful. I shudder at the thought of it.

I think you need some wine and a nice dessert, and then some sleep. Then wake up rested and with a calm mind write down what all options you can come up with.

I shall pray everyday for you to get your case complete and move on as i do for mine.

Hang in there. Please. It shall be all right.

Thank you very much, just called, you know how Austin says to cry as in faking it. I lost it, I'm ashamed to say I toally lost it could hardly talk what a disaster. Poor woman was beside herself, I was a total mess. She said at this point they can't expedite. This is just to much, criminals don't go through what we do. It would be considered cruel and unusual punishment. Haven't stopped crying since yesterday I have a migraine because of it, only good thing is I'm not hungry at all. ;(

I am so sorry Solenta about all this situation, they do treat us like criminals, let me tell you what happened to me on Feb 25 2014 a date ill never forget. I was going there with my husband for our honeymoon, we had our ceremony here in Mexico on feb 22, I was coming back to Mexico after the honeymoon so anyways, they denied me thw entry to the U.S. because I was married to a usc and not only that they cancel my visa, for them to cancel my visa they detained me for 8 hours, like a criminal, pretty much on jail, I wasnt doi g anything illegal, ever since I had memory I own a tourist visa but thwy didnt care. It was such a nightmare the border officers offended me and my husband. I still dont know whyt they did that, while I was there in that little office, around 10 officers were "working" and they didnt really work at all, I was they only one that was out that day but they have around 56 kids from guatemala in a small space like animals, making fun of them an nobody was working on their cases to releaae them. The whole system is broken, they dont want to fix it, they dont want me or your husband to move there, but we wont give up. I am never gonna give up because of this and one day hopefully soon ill be able to spend my life with him.

I received an email a few days a go with the 2-4 weeks estimated, today I received the 60 days, I cried like a baby, my dream of spending Xmas witn my hubby for the first time ever is gone, I just wanna go downstairs make brownies, buy ice cream eat a whole bag of twix and watch sex and the city to forget about this but I am already chubby because of this situation.,

Praying for you solenta..

Dear Lord, I lift up wives who struggle with anxiety. You know the details of what triggers their fears and you know what they face on a daily basis. My prayer is that you would comfort these women and that your awesome peace would remove their fears and anxiety. I pray their husbands would wrap their loving arms around them and also comfort them. I pray these marriages are not hindered by the anxiety, but rather strengthened! I know the debilitating affect of anxiety and I know you dont want us living life controlled by it. I call out to you for help Lord. Please transform our hearts so that we do not live in fear or allow anxiety to consume us any more in Jesus name AMEN!

I'm the petitioner and was planning to get my husband a tourist visa so he could come to the U.S. with me to travel or what not but decided not to b/c this is exactly what i fear the most. CBPs are extremely rude and offensive and I just didn't want to deal with them until my husband is a resident. So sad to hear stories like this. You'd expect so much more from a first world country.

I truly believe GOD hates me!!!!!

we had received a checklist (due to my lawyer's mistake) and sent it back on Sept 7 via email (my lawyer did) (Electronic Processing).. I called up today a month later ( as i never received an email confirming they got it ). Talked with Gus. Apparently there is no record of that of that email in their system. So he wants us to send it back. Yippppppeeee!!! now instead of Sept 8 it is Oct 8 as our scan date…though it is not confirmed yet…as the email is still not reached there yet...

I am thoroughly disgusted and depressed.

I thought NVC operators couldn't see anything if you're doing EP (not 100% sure since I sent my packages)? :huh2: Maybe that's why Gus couldn't find any record of the email? :idea:

Do you (or lawyer) still have the sent email? :wacko: You can double-check to see if you (or lawyer) sent it to the right email address. :thumbs: Fingers crossed! :star:

I'm so very sorry I am in you shoes, just got off with NVC and just can't stop crying again, I don't know how much more of this I can take. Spoke to Sara she is talking about a checklist from June that I was told to ignore about some proof of relationship, W T F is that and why I think they men my parents. I think it's discrimination because well you know. :( I can't catch my breath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so sorry you have to go through this. I know it is painful, but please don't give up! Try to distract yourself, meet up and talk with a friend or relative, get some good sleep and tomorrow will be a new day. You are so close to being done with NVC! Don't look back on your visa journey (hey, you already got most of it behind you) but concentrate on what is left. Get in contact with your congressman, senator, ombudsman to get support from them (NVC gave you conflicting information - that's so not okay) and give the silly NVC whatever they want. You are almost done, honey! Wish we could all help you more! I am praying for a speedy CC for you! You deserve it so much!

Hugs (F)
