NVC Filers - February 2015

[nyala62 82]

No January CC yet? I think its too early for January scans to see 3 N/As. But we believe in miracle

I got a confirmation email on Dec 14 for Nov 19 email document submission, and then checklist January 26. I am still waiting for confirmation for email response to checklist sent end Jan and early Feb. They have told us the same , wait one to two weeks because of snow days.

hmmm...sorry for the checklist but thanks for the info! I wish everyone at the NVC could get on the same page so we all get the same answers!

I'm still holding out hope for the email too! Let us know if you get it!!

I sure will, that will be an exciting day!

That's good to know that even in Nov-Dec they were running about a month from submission to confirmation. I'm sorry about the checklist. You submitted the checklist response a day after I submitted our packages, so hopefully we'll hear something around the same time.

Yes please do! One way I deal with this process is by being excited for those who hear good things;)!!

Thanks. I wish they would just confirm that the emails went through. I waited until the end of Jan for them to say they did not get one of my my Nov emails. I was sick to my stomach.

I sure will, that will be an e xciting day!

checklist!

Ah right right. Sorry, I put that together after I wrote my reply. I wish there was something we could do! I don't want to wait 60 days to call and find out they never got my documents. Edited February 14, 2015 by CanadianGirl123

That's ok. We have been calling NVC twice a week to at least get them to say they got our emails. They can't even confirm that. They pushed us towards electronic processing and now I think it was a mistake.

I think people should stop submitting electronically, many people don't know if their docs were delivered or not. It looks like the process is not as smooth as regular mail submission.

Such an agonizing process to call the NVC and not be told whether they received a simple email.

We've experienced two checklists. When the first one wasn't even opened for about a month (and was date stamped when NVC decided to open it)... and then we got a second checklist, our tactic was to respond by using all of the NVC emails we knew (four), hoping that one of the other three would be faster than the NVCelectronic one.

MISTAKE!

We started getting document receipts dated later and later.... eventually pushing our "60 days" another three weeks from when we actually sent it. We should have left well enough alone. (And just realised that we have little control over this process).

About a week before my CC I called them and they said they were waiting for me to submit my documents. I asked what she was talking about, I had submitted everything almost 2 months before. She said hold on a second and she came back and told me it was on a different screen that they had an email to review that was received on the date I sent it. She couldn't tell me what they received, just that they had received something and it was waiting to be reviewed.

I got lucky and didn't have any issues, but the thing I like about EP is that they (theoretically) can't lose anything.

I'm really sorry to hear about your checklists! I think it is human to try and regain a little bit of control of your life, and have some say in when and how things happen. I am sorry that that happened with the emails, but I am not sure I would not have done that too:) I think this is even harder considering all we are all trying to do is be with our loved ones, and it sometimes does feel like we are being punished despite not having done anything wrong. That said, as much as it is not MY personality, I think there is something to those who have a "you have no control so just let it be" attitude from the get go - I think it helps refocus on the things in your life that you CAN control. It is hard to watch people just speed through the process in a few months (and still complaint about the wait lol), while you are rearranging your life because your own process hit a snag. The truth is, the ability to share these frustrations with people here have been invaluable. I think I would have gone a bit crazy if I hadn't been able to read and post here. I have a lot riding on being in the U.S. by July, but that may not happen, and that's HARD.

Hang in there!! For me, as Valentine's day comes around, I know that I have this great forum and my awesome, beautiful, patient husband to depend on!

lol maybe they can't lose it but it seems we have to keep on them to remind them to LOOK at it!!!!!

One of the reps told my husband to resubmit , I asked him to call again and talk to someone else because fro what I had read on this forum it they would take the later and later submissions making our dates move further and further back. The second rep said not to send again and wait a week or two until they get caught up from the snow days.
