Guys I have a question.

Is it possible for NVC to tell you to send you a mail and say you should bring a particular document to the interview and not to mail them that particular document and then also in the same mail tell you to send another document to them through their address?

Yes they told me  to send them a missing court certificate but to bring my w2 to the interview.

Thanks for the explaination. I think it (the new system) doesnt apply to all petititons though, as mine didnt change. I still see ''At NVC''.

I think because yours is a work petition?  He said they're in the process of changing the wording, but you're right, it might not apply to all.

Thank goodness. Our second expedite request was approved yesterday. Found out via the CEAC website.

 

I had already been told (a loooong time ago, back in June when I started this process) by someone at the Paris embassy who actually took care of visas, that "as long as the paperwork's in order they will accept the expedite" - I guess the first expedite was looked at by a different person. Well, the right person looked at the second one.

 

Hang in there everybody.

two different expedites?  Do you mean one at NVC level and one at consulate level?

You just need to bring the corrected Affidavit of Support with you to the interview. Instead of correcting it and then sending it to NVC, they are approving your case and allowing you to bring the correction to the interview. 

 

Congratulations on your CC and good luck on your coming interview. :)

I'm not stressed about it. I was just wondering where and how I can find my scan date. As per the CSR at NVC, I have to call and find out.

 

Thanks for your kind words. As you said we are all in this together and will get through this together.

Yeah i suggest you call them  5 days after you sent the documents, that's the thing i didnt do and regret it much. Good luck and praying you hear good news.

That's not true they start counting from the day they put your documents in the system , that's the only way they can keep track of the date they received them , I will call wednesday and make sure they got them , I saw someone in here yesterday said they sent their documents in November  and never called , now they are saying their scan date is January 13, I guess they got lost in the mail room for a while , keep in mind they receive thousands of cases every day. Good luck

Yeah.. that happened to my documents. And i hope there wont be anyone who'd ever experience it again. Yup, you should verify that they received it, good luck on this journey

Oh, I guess you are talking about "R and KJ". Good point. Even if I did nothing, my wife would surely call NVC before Wednesday. She's been stressing a lot over this whole process. She's been pressuring me to put together the whole set for interview right away.

 

So, yeah. We are going to call and confirm that our package is scanned some time next week. Thanks for the heads up. Appreciate it.

 

Hoping and praying that you hear good news! Good luck.

Thank you for that.

Just a quick question. Do you have any proof of when they received your package? If you do, maybe you can put together a request/case through your senator and get them to process right away. It is their inactivity that caused this whole incident anyway.
