They don't care we've been waiting. Their job is to process stuff, not to care about us. And frankly, given how crappy the working conditions supposedly are there, I do not at all wonder at them not caring. Look up the worker reviews for the NVC sometime, it sounds AWFUL. I honestly do feel for them.

And there's no one with any actual power over this for us to contact. There's nothing we can do other than live with this.

guess it was pretty immature of me to think I'd sail through the nvc process without grief!

how dumb of me to think the penance we paid at uscis was enough!!!!

Well they can't make it too easy for Canadians to get into America or we might... contribute to their economy and, uh, drive across their borders for cheap gas? :blink:

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.

I'm hoping we'll see interviews start being assigned later this week, but my wife's had some health issues and I need to get there sooner if at all possible, so we're trying for an expedite once she gets all the papers from her doctors to be able to prove why we would need one.

totally crazy.....

just read up on the scan dates and cc and the april nvc thread and nvc is still pushing out cc like crazy...does the right hand not know what the left hand is doing?

Well they can't make it too easy for Canadians to get into America or we might... contribute to their economy and, uh, drive across their borders for cheap gas? :blink:

or contribute to medical system...;)

So, should we ask for expedites to have an interview booked asap? Or should we just wait? Monday will be one month since my case complete...

imagine that...we all ask for expedites....another wrench!!!

guess its time for me to apply for another police check certificate....as mine will be expiring at this rate!!!! grrrr.

Who I of course can't get ahold of. Urgh. I've gotten the silence of doom twice tonight after 40+ minute waits. *jazzhands of despair and frustration* Their phone system seems to be dropping calls again.

LOL "jazzhands of despair and Frustration". :rofl: I feel your pain. Sorry. But I read NVC was closed today (or has issues or something.)

So I played around with the tracking on the DHL website today since I called yesterday and they said there's still no interview date scheduled for me. It seems like packages are still going out albeit none to South Africa but at least they're not at a standstill.

Remember K1's and reaffirms go through NVC.

isn't there something we can do about this nonsense? and since this appears to be on nvc's end and not individual embassy's there has to be someone we can contact to express our opinions too.

some people have been waiting close to a month!

the longer they delay assigning interviews the more backlog there's going to be, especially the way they're spitting out cc's.!

grrrr!

Why not each and everyone of you tomorrow contact your congressperson/Senator. We about what 20 to 30 countries here with who knows how many states represented it could get that logjam going.

Who's in? :goofy:

I "treated myself" to an RCMP one - as the 9 months in NVC was adding too much dust on the other ones. Delightfully quick!

I'm hoping we'll see interviews start being assigned later this week, but my wife's had some health issues and I need to get there sooner if at all possible, so we're trying for an expedite once she gets all the papers from her doctors to be able to prove why we would need one.

Very sorry to hear. I hope everything goes smoothly for you two.

So, should we ask for expedites to have an interview booked asap? Or should we just wait? Monday will be one month since my case complete...

Ugh. Let's hope something happens by the end of this week. Fingers crossed.

guess it was pretty immature of me to think I'd sail through the nvc process without grief!

You are in good company with this type of thinking.... I still haven't learned how to be patient, I guess.

I like your style. Esp. on the day Taxes are due! Can beneficiaries call the congressperson, or only petitioners?

Sukie, How come they didnt take the 2013 tax returns? I will have the 2014 tax return copies with me at the interview, and the last three years as well. Thanks!

I wish I knew. What I do know was that our financials were very comfortably over the poverty line (that was before I retired!!!!). Perhaps they were more than satisfied with my prior years!

I was prepared, which I think you will be, too! That's our "insurance"!!!
