So I still have a couple of credit cards and an active bank account which shows constant transfer of money into it over the years that I have been away, I guess being away for 10 years does kinda put you on edge. But we do have a firm case that shows that our intent to re-establish domicile is there, relocation specialists, Realtors and such so I think we'll be alright. Tomorrow, sheesh, can't believe it's tomorrow.

Yes I can imagine, plus you never know better be sure than sorry and it's obvious your all set to go. WOW tomorrow, I wont believe it either. You wont need it but I'll be praying all goes well and you get our Visa. What time will the interview be and how many hour difference for Calif? 10 hours? t5063.gif

ANYONE WITH SCAN DATE NOV21st HAS HAD A CC???

Doesn't matter start calling I bet your CC is waiting for you so have paper at hand sometimes not always you may get your interview date. Good luck and please let us know when you get CC. :)t5063.gif Wooooo Hoooooooooo

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO what are you doing believing a rep you broke rule number one, never believe them, NEVER DO WHAT THEY SAY. She knows nothing, you call back right now it's 10 pm there and if they don't have it for you call tomorrow at around 11 their time then again at 6/7 pm their time it's an ORDER :D they lie. t5063.gif

If it shows 3 N/A you have Case Complete so call and confirm they are open right now, please let us know. Woooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooo!

Your very welcome my friend, every day that goes by is one step closer, I can't wait until we don't have to deal with immigration anymore. God willing soon and now that the holidays are over they are back to work and focused I hope, at least it seems that way. t4582.gif

67 days you need to ask for a supervisor not just to review your file but to talk to her let her know you have been waiting for 7 months she might be able to get your files in a week or so. I do hope and will be praying you get your CC tomorrow. t0803.gif

Ok listen up, you are close to getting your CC most likely tomorrow if not the weekend but you need to call don't listen to them, call about 11 or so and if no CC call between 6 and 7 pm Eastern time, yes twice a day your CC is right around the corner Wooooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooo can't wait for you to get it so you can start to prepare. Please let us know and I for one will be praying on my side. :Dsmileys-praying-931534.gift0803.gif

My lovely dears from around the world.

Well all the stress, the wait, the pangs, the checking online every 2 minutes to see if CEAC is updated (take a breath) the calling, the waiting, the 'your patience is appreciated', the grumpy reps, the late night forum updates, the wait to see if someone two days before your paperwork submission got a CC, the word CC and what it means to us all. The many short forms that we now know (CEAC, CC, AP, DS-260, DS-261).

The word Checklist was the scariest word in our vocabulary.

It now has come to a close for me. We were in the embassy for merely 30 minutes before everything was closed out and the words, 'good luck with your move to Chicago' fell out of the consular officials mouth. Next week we should have his passport/visa in hand and the uphill planning and leaving will commence.

Lots of love to you all. I will try to be online as much as possible these next couple of months as I'm moving and prepping.

I pray that everyone will soon realize, just like I did, God never gives you too much where you can't handle it - whether you think you can't, you can. It may seem like a long time to be without your loved one but when you push harder and finally the wait is over, you will realize you can. This is a temporary pain that will result in happiness in the long run.

I will update my pages accordingly. Good luck! <3

Yes I can imagine, plus you never know better be sure than sorry and it's obvious your all set to go. WOW tomorrow, I wont believe it either. You wont need it but I'll be praying all goes well and you get our Visa. What time will the interview be and how many hour difference for Calif? 10 hours? t5063.gif

What you guys mean by last scan? Please help here.. last time I submitted my second check list Nov 10 I received an email saying they received my documents on the 21 of Nov. It's been way over 60 days and I called twice they told me it's taking longer than 60days because of the holidays.

I gave up with nvc it's been 7 months 2 checklists and 67 days waiting for my review :(

I gave up with nvc it's been 7 months 2 checklists and 67 days waiting for my review :(

Do not give up...I was at day 62 for checklist and got the same story every time I called. It will happen and it may have already and the phone rep just doesn't know yet. I was told that it takes 2-3 days after your review for it to show on the phone reps computer. I believe that they do not go by 60 calendar days but that they only go by scan date. What I mean is that if your scan date is Nov 14 which mine was they consider the 60th day to only be Jan 14th because every time I called they would tell me day 60 was the 14th of Jan . It didn't matter that I counted 60 calendar days to be Jan 12th . I know its just a few extra days but they seem to take every day they can get plus they were closed for 4 days during the holidays.

If your scan date is Nov 21 then you are not yet at the 60 days....you 60 days is Jan 21 st .

None of this matters when you are missing your wife...hang in there ...you will get your CC soon !
