Thanks for the confirmation! I didn't think that the scan date got changed everytime you called, but an NVC operator told us that today.

Maybe they are just tired of answering all of the applicant phone calls...

:P

I'm pretty tired of having to call, too.

I do think they track when you called and how many times you called. but don't be scared call as many times as you wish. me personally only called to see if my case was there, to question my husband police report, to get my ds261 reviewed and then I will call back once my fee change to N/A .. I honestly still don't understand why people call so often to hear the same news.. but to each its own..

call when you want :)

Congrats all the CC's!!!

But it's strange how they skipped a few 1/12 scan dates. I'm still waiting, called today and they said at least 60 days, I'm on day 59.

I'm gloomily expecting a checklist, at this rate. I'm at day 59 and they're telling me 'call back next week' and getting sarcastic with me when I point out that I know people with the 15th as a scan date who have CC.

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.
2011: Realized we needed to evaluate our status as friends when we realized we were talking about raising children together.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June 26, 2013: DOMA overturned. American married couples ALL have the same federal rights at last! We can be a family!

June-September, 2013: Discussion about being together begins.

November 13, 2013: Meet in person to see if this could work. It's perfect. We plan to elope to Boston, MA.

March 13, 2014 Married!

May 9, 2014: Petition mailed to USCIS

May 12, 2014: NOA1.
October 27, 2014: NOA2. (5 months, 2 weeks, 1 day after NOA1)
October 31, 2014: USCIS ships file to NVC (five days after NOA2) Happy Halloween for us!

November 18, 2014: NVC receives our case (22 days after NOA2)

December 17, 2014: NVC generates case number (50 days after NOA2)

December 19, 2014: Receive AOS bill, DS-261. Submit DS-261 (52 days after NOA2)

December 20, 2014: Pay AOS Fee

January 7, 2015: Receive, pay IV Fee

January 10, 2015: Complete DS-260

January 11, 2015: Send AOS package and Civil Documents
March 23, 2015: Case Complete at NVC. (70 days from when they received docs to CC)

May 6, 2015: Interview at Montréal APPROVED!

May 11, 2015: Visa in hand! One year less one day from NOA1.

Thanks! You're is around the corner too, they seem to be much faster.

I don't think it means it's a CC.

In your case, I think there's something not so smooth about EP (electronic processing), I think that's why.

When I called, the lady told me the same thing about being saturated and they're working on speeding up, and she said give us at least another week.
