Hey folks, some lovely news this morning!! As of yesterday, November 12th, NVC will no longer collect ORIGINAL CIVIL DOCUMENTS for the IV package. That is correct, you read that right. From now on,

I probably shouldn't respond to this since my mood is not the best at the moment....but since I am one that "checked in" I will. Checking in for most of us is like a roll call . Just saying hey...I am

Some people are going up the 60th day. . . you still have a few more days to go so hang in there. Also, not sure if you saw Qbanita's post but she received CC on 11/18 (found out today) and her AOS never changed to N/A (it still shows as PAID). So remember that that is never 100% accurate. I know you are in Australia so maybe call on Wednesday before they close for the holiday. Best of luck!

Ok that's good advice. I will get up early on Thursday morning and call.

I am the beneficiary. My husband is the petitioning USC.

Really? I seen the gov schedule that said they would be off on both the 27th and 28th. Can someone verify the holidays for the NVC.

The Friday after Thanksgiving is NOT a federal holiday, so NVC will be open. This doesn't mean they'll be at full capacity though as I'm sure lots of their workers will be on an extended holiday from Thursday through to the weekend.

If that's the case, then you won't need to get up early. NVC is open until midnight! So you can sleep in till noon and still have time!

I will still need to get up early because I have to leave for work at 8:15am, and if I could be on hold for up to an hour, I need to leave myself time to get ready for work. :)

So here is an update on my situation, Our 60 day notice was given Oct. 3 and I gave the NVC a call on Friday and they gave us a checklist that we forgot to add in the i864a for both of my parents which are helping sponsor me. She said that after the corrections are scanned in that a new 60 day waiting period will start. We sent out the corrections through expedited shipping this morning. Does it usually take another full 60 days? What timeline are we looking at for the interview?

This is getting ridiculous though, things seem to be moving so slow, Praying for everyone's case to move along

The same thing happened to me today.. I just called and got checklisted because I wrote "01" for people being sponsored instead of just "1" can they get any more ridiculous.. I corrected that mistake today and my new i864 is ready to go...did u have to wait for the email or u just sent it without the email?? I'm going to expedite ship mine out tomorrow :(

I think the general response is "do not wait for the email" - send it with the cover sheet you had for AOS in the first place.
