NVC Filers-April 2016

[LDN1990 0]

Called NVC again about the payment portal issue. Was told it's definitely a technical issue and they're "reviewing it" and they have no ETA.

I rang today too and was told the same!

I recieved a cheklist with same date which has nothing to do with my case I wasn't even marrie 6th July, called NVC and they had no explanation of that ... So weird

[Mrs in Tennessee 8]

Thanks LinJoe. Have you heard anything yet? You need to Check and see.

I had a similar situation with my checklist. What it amounted to that is the last time they updated the Checklist form they are using, it has no bearing on your case specifically.

Me too MrsFrancis. My birthday is in May and it would be a wonderful gift. His is in June so I guess either way would be good.

Manutd10 Thanks and hopefully a speedy close for you as well.

I called. got ANOTHER checklist. for Liberia and Nigeria PCC. I had to explain to them again that they shouldn't have been check listed and explain to them what's on their own website. it's now under supervisor review and the person I spoke with said she went and sat with a supervisor to explain my issue and to give her time to review my actual case file. she said to call and check back mid next week. I guess i'm stuck waiting again. I can't believe my luck!

Apparently the first supervisor lied when she told me she would put a note in the system that I shouldn't have been checklisted for those two documents. cause neither person I spoke with today saw anything about it other than her sending my case back to Document Review department for re-review.

By the way, I also learned that by "scanning" our documents...they are not actually scanning all our documents. They simply scan the bar code and notify the system that our documents have been received. then they put the documents aside to be matched up with the actual file and wait for review.

Oh no! So sorry LinJoe. This is crazy. Wish they could understand what they put people through. Hoping for a speedy resolution.
