Hello fellow vjers,

It's my first time posting something on the monthly thread, and I do need help.

Our scan date for AOS checklist and IV is september 8th and 9th.

We called on this monday(Nov 10th) to see whether our case got completed or not, since it was past 60 days.

However they still hasn't reviewed ours, and the agent that my husband talk to was very kind and asked us to call back on the end of this wk that she will put someone to review ours soon, so we can hear something.

However I just called NVC today(Nov 12th)...

Sorry to hear that. Let us wait for reply of others here because i do not have idea re supervisor reviews.

However I just called NVC today(Nov 12th) and got a shocking news. The agent i talked to was telling me that our case is waiting for supervisor review and it takes upto 42days of waiting!!! I'm crying and can't think it straight. I called my husband, and he doesn't think that it wouldn't possibly take that seriously long after we have waited patiently our 60 days torture. I requested to talk to a supervisor, but the agent told me that he is not available at the moment. I'm calling NVC again to talk to another agent hoping to hear something different. What should I do??? Does it seriously take another 42 days of waiting?? I can't do this any more. I'm devastated.

That doesn't sound right! Why does it need to be review by a supervisor? did the rep told you? that makes no sense 42 more days? I would say wait till tomorrow and call again..

Thank you so much. You are so sweet. I called and talked to another NVC rep, but same answer upto 42 days of waiting...

I'm not sure what to do. I'm frantically crying and don't know what to do.

Hopefully we both will hear something good soon.

Thank you so much for your sympathetic reply. I called another rep, and he said the same thing. Upto 42 days of waiting. The rep told me that they put it into supervisor review,since it's past 60days waiting and needs to be reviewed. Although he also mentioned that it usually takes less than that, but still refused to give me a specific time limit other than 42 days. I was crying at the end of the phone conversation and couldn't think it straight. Just can't believe that such a thing happend to us.... Feel so week and vulnarable and not sure whether I can handle this or not...

hang in there, I'm sure you will hear something sooner than the 42 days :( I know how you feel I got the same way when I got my AOS checklist back on 9/30 after waiting 55 days for nvc to review and I cry for days not to mention telling my hubby that was the worse part... Hang in there and think positive it will get better and soon this nvc nightmare will be over.... I'm going on my 6th month at nvc...

thats pathetic! ask to speak to a supervisor directly.

Its not your fault they didnt review it in 60 days like their emails states, you shouldnt have to wait another 42 days due to their laziness.

Really, i am at a loss of words as to how NVC reps can justify this? I would ask them: So you guys dont review it in 60 days, then you guys send for superviosr review and will take another 42 days? like how in the world does that make sense!!!

seriously, ask to speak to a supervisor, and have them answer the question about how is it your fault that they cant review it in 60 days and now because of their incompetence you are being penalized for another 42 days. If they did this to me, i would call them non stop until I got a CC within a couple of days.

Its absolutely ridiculous

Hi everyone,

Should I submit just my most recent tax return or my last 3 years of tax returns for AOS I-864? any advice is appreciated.

When I sent my affidavit I only sent my recent one in the form it tells u it optional. I already have my interview and they did not ask me for any more paper work

Hello fellow vjers,

We called on this monday(Nov 10th) to see whether our case got completed or not, since it was past 60 days.

However they still hasn't reviewed ours, and the agent that my husband talk to was very kind and asked us to call back on the end of this wk that she will put someone to review ours soon, so we can hear something.

However I just called NVC today(Nov 12th) and got a shocking news. The agent i talked to was telling me that our case is waiting for supervisor review and it takes upto 42days of waiting!!! I'm crying and can't think it straight. I called my husband, and he doesn't think that it wouldn't possibly take that seriously long after we have waited patiently our 60 days torture.

What should I do??? Does it seriously take another 42 days of waiting?? I can't do this any more. I'm devastat

After 57 days of waiting for a case complete, we got a checklist instead, and we too were devastated. I called the NVC and after speaking with a CSR our case was forwarded for supervisor review. The 1st CSR told me they did not know how long it would take. I called back the next day & was told by another CSR it could take up to 30 days for a supervisor review. After 9 days I got a voicemail from NVC, when I called them back it was not good news. After speaking with another CSR & another supervisor, my case ended up being forwarded again for another supervisor’s review. This time I got a call back in 2 days with a case complete. After waiting 57 days & getting a checklist, then being told it could take another 30 days for a supervisor’s review, we also felt we could not do this anymore. This process is draining but you can do this. You just hold on, your day will come.

Take a breath....

Ok, I would guess that they have put in for a supervisor's review as your case was obviously overlooked. They will not tell you anything different than the '42 day' thing now, not even a supervisor will say anything different until they locate and review your files. But you can bet your booty they are reviewing it. I would even hazard a guess that it will be a priority. Give them 3 to 5 working days then call back to follow up and see if they have made progress. It won't take 42 days (I will wager on it). This doesn't mean you won't get a checklist either, but I am sure they are moving you to the head of the queue. It took them 2 days just to find my DS260 which is filed in their system!! There are 10s of thousands of files to sift through.

Of course this doesn't make it less aweful that it happened to you. Try to remain polite as they may be more inclined to go the extra distance for you.

Keep us posted.

Trust, but verify!
