Congratulations Maniput! Great you will be coming here on Thanksgiving!! Safe travels...

My wife's medical was last week, it took 8 hours, but she got the paperwork when she left. She did go to Mumbai for her biometrics and it was smooth. She has her interview Nov 13th.

Good luck to everyone as well!

I saw 3 N/As yesterday but when I called NVC they told me I basically have a case complete but since we sent our documents by email, seems they need time to create our electronic file (scanning or documents from USCIS I believe). So we are stuck with more waiting.

Of October? That was pretty quick for a scan date.

Maybe, I don't know, but we had done everything else, this was the final step with NVC.. We made both payments first, then did the DS260, then the packages were sent on the 21st, the email came and it was received on the 23rd October..allow for 30 days...etc, etc.

BHSMama, why are you saying that? :/ Hubby sent our papers on the 12th of October with USPS and they got there on the 14th (which is our scan date). We received the email from NVC confirming that they got our papers on Friday, the 16th. This was our 2nd time sending papers, due to a stupid checklist.

The first time, we sent the packages all the way from Romania and it took 3 days. Our scan date was exactly the one when DHL notified us that they delivered the package.

As for me I'm in the process of re submitting all of our documents because we've sent them to nvc on September 30th, never got a scan date etc, according to them they never receive our packages or could confirm if they have it or not.

I feel your pain and anxiety, send the new packages via fedex or usps, overnight even, and monitor closely.

I'm sorry that you have to go through this again.. but its the only way you can move forward.
