I think this is your second scan date so it might not be a priority for NVC because they probably trying to get current cases out the door. If they told you 6 weeks, let's see if you get it by next week. If not, have them transfer to supervisor. One other thing you can do is get your Senator involve at this stage so they can request NVC to expedite the process. I pray for you that you get your CC soon. I know waiting is nerve wracking....

Maybe, but I think that's unfair, couse for me they need just to see ONE document not entire package :( ...

Did you call NVC to find out what's going on?

Yeah I called them and the rep on the phone told that I should wait 42 days from the day that they received. If I still didn't get any answer I should call them on the 43rd day and ask to talk to a supervisor. It's just so hard to wait, and all of this just for 1 sign... They made I-864A to sign in two different places, not just I-864 with just one sign.

True. It is. However, I read at many places that this is why NVC wants you to make sure you send all the papers and everything filled out correctly.

I would recommend you to speak with your senator and have them expedite the process or at least get it to Supervisor review.. At this point, who knows how long will it take for NVC to get to your case... my fear is what if they assign it to the supervisor and tell you to wait again for another 4 - 6 weeks... I am not trying to scare you... just saying. Senator office doesn't charge you any fee for their service.... they can contact NVC and embassy on your and your spouse's behalfs... its worth trying... I would say work with your Democrat senator. They are always there to help... Republican party senators aren't there for immigrants..... In my case, I had both Republican and Democrat senators to choose from... You may have only 1 option... check it out...

Here's the link to the list of senators in Hartford, CT. I am not sure who will be in particular for your district. http://www.senatedems.ct.gov/senators.php

Take care....

Altealst they are still working on your case which is a good sign and it's not checklist. I am sure you will get CC soon. Have faith.

No NVC will not schedule your biometric you will have to book it through usatraveldocs site once you have interview letter.

Many thanks for you advice... I'll keep waiting till 42 days mark and after if they say that I should wait more, I'll start calling some senators to get this thing on the right track. Thank you again :)
