The NVC October Moral Support/Ranting Thread

[StrawberryKiss 170]

Congratulations. So happy for you.

Congratulations.

Thanks, dear! I remember how we were both waiting for July 31 scan dates to be processed and I'm glad we finally made it to the Interview Thread! So excited to get out of NVC - hopefully this week!

I also thought there was a good chance that I was going to be in the US in July when my case had arrived at NVC in April.

I did the math.... "At NVC in May and early June... That means I'll have an interview in July..."

So I told all my friends that I would be in the US in July! Big mouth! They're like, "WHAT!? You're still in Canada!?"

I had a similar thing happen recently at a party. I bumped into someone I haven't seen in about a year and she said "You're back!!!!" and I said "Actually, we haven't left yet." :rofl:

I'll probably get the same "You're back!" reaction if I don't move to the US by the end of this year!

We have a real estate agent since we're planning to buy a house in Seattle. He keeps asking me when we're moving to Seattle. He is probably more interested in my immigration case than I am! Desperate for business?

I should have given him my case number and had him call NVC since he is so concerned about his client.

That was the case with my dentist He asked me about the progress of my case, which documents I had to submit, when I'd finally fly over there etc. every single time anew. No, he's not old and forgetful, quite the contrary So when he started to care about our petition more than my husband, I knew it was time to go to a different dentist

Ditto... last week.

Just got this email from the embassy, after being on AP since my September 24th interview... Why are they being so enigmatic?

"You may drop the passports at the reception – window 2 - of the US Embassy. There is no need to come inside the Embassy compound.

You may come on any work day, Sunday through Thursday, between 1-3 p.m.

You must bring a copy of this e-mail with you to the reception (window 2), who will give you a sticker to collect your passport later from the Embassy.

Your case will be reviewed again and if everything is fine, you will be contacted to collect the passports with the visa packages in 4 weeks approximately."

They make us sound like criminals. SMH.

It sounds like you'll get the visa in 4 weeks so it's good news, Mo!

I'm not sure why you don't sound happy? Well, you were the only person who got upset (instead of being happy) when you got a CC (because you felt that NVC took too long to give you a CC) so you're a little bit "unique" to me.

I have my interview in 4 weeks so it looks like we may get the visa around the same time! Fingers crossed!

You remember that CC drama, I see. That was NVC stress showing on me. That's why my heart nearly weeps every time I see a VJ buddy getting a checklist.

I'm always optimistic... Experience, however, taught me to be cautious.

I promise you... I'll be over the moon when I see the word ISSUED on ceac.

They had the document they requested since September 25th. You would think this email would have said: "You're approved... Please drop your passports at the embassy." Naaah... more waiting and more uncertainty!

Saying that... I'm optimistic enough to start packing again.

Hello my friend

So is this good news. Looks like you are going to get your visa. Seriously though, do you have to wait another 4 weeks. Thinking of you and the family.

I know I will be so happy when you finally get this visa. Likewise for many of our other VJ friends who we have all travelled on this journey together for a year or more now. Let's hope we are all with our families for the upcoming holiday season. I know I am banking on this and will be bitterly disappointed if this is not the case. Watch this space!!!!

I'm not sure... but I'm hoping the extra review/4 weeks lines are just generic to such emails. If so, I might receive the same royal treatment my brother got for his B1/B2 visa a few weeks ago. He submitted his passport with updated documents and received his visa the following day.

Last week, CCs breached the Aug. 20th barrier, so I'm hopeful you'll ride an early wave and get some good news before the week is out. Now... if we could only squeeze Soloenta in between.

I so hope so Mo. It is certainly true that the closer we get the harder it is. Let's hope for a good week for us all.
