I have never been superticious, but our case was completed on a Tuesday 13th. I´m a now a believer. Exactly six months after sending I-130.

It was strange how I find out on my case from the NVC. I´ve been calling them every other day for about two weeks to check on our status, and I´ve spent ( as many of you already know) about 10 minutes on average to be assisted by an operator. Well, today it was different. It was 8 am EDT when I called, but instead of being prompted by the recorded voice message, I got a live voice... very rare indeed. And that´s the way my phone crusade with NVC came to a close. Ten more days for the case to arrive at Managua. I inmediately called my wife and woke her up to share the news.

My next update will be after my wife receives Instruction Packet.

Hi Justo/Sheyla,

First of all, congratulations!

I'm a newbie here but I've been using VJ to look for answers to my questions. My husband has filed an immigrant petition for myself in July 2006 and we learned that our case was completed last Feb. 13/07. Before it got completed, NVC have sent us an RFE letter, asking for an original/certified true copy of my birth certificate, marriage certificate, police clearance (Canada) and NBI clearance (Philippines). All of these were sent to my lawyer in California and it took awhile for me to gather all of it (approximately a month). Anyway, we're guessing that an interview might be available for us in April but the last time I checked NVC's automated machine, nothing has happened. I'm getting so frustrated, it's been a month and no updates for us. My lawyer wasn't that very helpful too. I wanted to spend my 1st year anniversary with my husband. My birthday is also in April and I would love to spend it with him.

Goodluck to both of you!

my thoughts to you is to call NVC and talk to an operator. Ask them what´s going on with your case. Insist on getting clear answers as sometimes they are not that kind or hepful.

Good luck.
