Has anyone filled out their DS-160 and attempted to e-mail the confirmation page and it disappear into e-mail limbo hell?

I don't have a printer at home, but I do at work so I attempted to e-mail the confirmation page to myself, my fiancé, as well as to my work e-mail and I haven't received it yet and the damn application page expired and now I'm dyyyyyying thinking that I don't have what I need. I do, have a screenshot... AH! What do?!

I believe you can sign back in, no? Theres an option that if you don't finish your application at one time you can go back into it later. Even though you finished, have you tried logging in again? If anything, the screenshot is fine. Just print that if you can't get the email. All they really need is that confirmation code or whatever!

I have attempted a few times to recover the application but it keeps kicking me off! Blargh! I'm going to keep attempting and hope that the website is just being freaky and I'll be able to grab it later. I think the screenshot should do thought, right? I printed it at work today and it looks good! Haha. Thank yooooou!

Yep, like I said, hit or miss with NVC! Sometimes they're helpful, and sometimes they're a pain. I never got transferred, though. That's so annoying <_<

Get this, guys... I've received 10, count them TEN, letters from NVC. All saying the exact. same. thing. I keep forgetting to call because, well, I don't feel like being on hold for an hour just to tell them to stop wasting paper and mailing me this stupid approval letter.

Anyways, so no luck getting an earlier interview. Santy's interview is on Monday. So we're hoping to have him over here next week! :D Finally excited for the visa process to end.

And congrats to new NOA2-ers like you, MissPearls! Waiting to see everyone from Oct here :)

10 of 'em? Awww! And here I thought my mailbox was just the only lucky one. ;):P

I don't know why they hate trees so much... I think I'll frame some of the copies and give them away as wedding favours. :rofl:

No idea. I went through the front line, gave the USCIS number, was told there was an update and then transferred into another queue. When they finally answered I received my case number, chatted with the person a bit, and then hung up. No further transfers.

Yeah I just hung up, didn't want to hold any longer. .already received my case number. No further reason to hold. And I've read some stories, people were transferred, waited, then eventually got disconnected.

Since I am unclear on this one... can I file my DS160 BEFORE my case gets to the NVC? Lol. I've already started packing even though I am 3 months away at least. I'm far too excited. And did everyone else continually check their case status every day just making sure the approval was real and that there was no mistake? Lol.

I'VE BEEN ON HOLD WITH THE NVC FOR A FUN 51 MINUTES NOW. Was told that we were "in the system" and then promptly transferred to this hold music hell. HOW MUCH LONGER SHOULD I HANG ON?! This phone call is costing me a small fortune...

The music is making me crazy, I've made up a lyrics and a dance... AHHHHH!!!! Hahaha.

After a whole 57 minutes, I got through and we got our case number! The gentleman on the other line MUST be in the process of training because he was very green, but helpful!

If you're calling NVC, be prepared for a wait! And if you'd like me to teach you my dance, I can accommodate. ;)
