Omg. We are seeing the 3rd N/A. Scan date November 3. praying this means case complete. not calling yet.

Peachy! AOS changed to N/A yesterday. Scan Date : 11/04 . We also decided to wait till next week to call. It's a safe bet I guess..

Just wondering, do you count weekends in the 30 also, and just not holidays?

It takes approximately one month including the weekends, but just to be safe, before you call up and get on supervisor review list, just count the weekdays.

Wow congrats!!

Did you send the request for expedition?

My scan date is Nov 19th.

No, we didn't put in a expedite request. I'm not sure why we got through so fast, so I won't question it, lol.

Yeah they are... the scan date is relatively delayed because we had to figure out some tax filing issues, as well as the fact that we have a joint sponsor and needed to coordinate with him to get his IRS forms, etc. Also we were delayed a lot in getting the IV & AOS fees available for payment; for some reason the system was acting "buggy" as per the NVC representative and had them locked until I called and finally got through to talk to someone about it.

I have to agree with zeeeeeek, it looks very weird, approved in December, paid AOS in March of 2015.

Maybe update your timeline please.
