Hi everyone,

So I called a few times 2 weeks ago to get my scan date and was given 12/18 the first time and then given 12/21 three other times - so am going off that date. I never received an email stating they received my documents though, just phone confirmation (of different dates nonetheless). Is it worth it to call to ask about the email? Has anyone else gotten an email with a scan date similar to mine?

Hey just came across your post. We actually have the exact same scan date as you of 12/18 and haven't gotten this email you are referring to about the document received date and processing time yet. Have you received this email as of now? If not, can you please let me know when you receive it? I will be sure to inform you as well since we're on the same boat. I have called the NVC several times and they stated that their system which sends out the emails has a problem and for me to wait patiently... :rolleyes:

I will definitely let you know. I still haven't gotten the email either. But I am counting the days until we at least hit 30 days there (10 more). However. Seeing how slow they are, I'm sure I'll get CC closer to 45. Ugh. I'll keep you posted!

Thanks for the quick reply! Well I guess I'm not alone then. The most difficult part is to not receive any correspondence from them and blindly wait. My understanding is that normally, people receive that initial "The NVC has received your documents on........." email within 2-3 days of the scan date, which is leading me to believe that they haven't even touched our cases... Anyways, I'll keep you posted as well since any updates on our cases should happen at around the same time.

Thank you! Yes! You are so close! I called yesterday and they told my case was being reviewed, I check last night before going to bed (1am Italy time) and nothing had changed. Now I checked and see the 3 N/As!

Good luck! And if you can give them a call, just to stay on top of the case ;)
