Yes! That sounds perfectly logical. 

 

I already did mess something up. I just noticed my birth certificate is upside down (I'm the petitioner, not the beneficiary so it isn't a required document, but I uploaded it anyway) I wonder if I should just upload it again right-side up... Hm...

If you have the option I would just upload it again. Just so you don't get put on hold because they don't want to take 5 seconds to flip it. And just put in a comment.

My prediction for you both is cc end of next week but three more weeks for interview date ....if my theory is correct ....haha which would mean my interview date notice will be end of next week....I feel like this is a baby pool sometimes haha guessing the date and weight hahah

I would be ok with that! I'm having my interview in Sweden and they don't seem to be very busy as there aren't many applicants going there so I hope I can get an early interview. Haha yeah I know I've tried to estimate all the things in this process but I've been horribly wrong most of the time so I've just given up! For example totally thought it wouldn't take them 8 months to approve I-130, and then 9 weeks to give us the case number, but then they surprised us with clearing the fee in only 2 business days so you never know with this process.

💯 Reupload if there is a spot to do it with the note. I accidentally uploaded our marriage certificate with another doc attached in the PDF (grrr hehe I didn't get a chance to double check things before hubby hit submit) ...I noticed and did it right away and when we got approved there was a note that I had to fix something but then you could tell a minute later they saw that attachment and sent a second note saying all accepted and approved. There is a section for comments. If you don't they have been rejecting for page orientation from what I have seen which may add a week+. I am so glad I did the additional upload fix. We almost died when we saw that happened.

Haha yes wouldn't that be wonderful! I hope they get a log for how many times we login everyday and bump us to the top There was so many papers so I just hope I didn't mess something up!

I don't know if it helped us at all but both my husband and I tried to call often and log in often...just to show we were both obssessed and interested in the outcome and maybe they would take pity...which was and is true lol I can't imagine people who can sit still in this stage....

Consider it re-uploaded with a note. You're both right, it's probably better to have both than risk them adding a week of nonsense. I added a comment too. So now I should be able to relax (yeah, right). That's pretty cool that they accepted your straight away after your re-upload, kendraf. I wonder how the whole thing works. Are they just logging in and rooting around and I could very well be logged in at the same time as them? Such mystery.

So glad to see some cc completes here - we are still waiting after submitting all our documents on May 8th.

[heythereluna 51]

We're on the sixth business day after having submitted everything to NVC, 420th day after PD. This is agony. I really, really hope we'll get CC this week.

I do think NVC works on the case completes towards the end of the months but not sure. We submitted our documents a week earlier and we are still waiting. I simply didnt think the NVC stage would almost take as long as the phase from NOA1 to NOA2.

Sorry @R&OC was hoping you already got yours since @kendraf did.... at least you'll probably get a July interview regardless. It looks like they're speeding up case # assignments which obviously means it'll slow down the next stage of cc. Always at the wrong place at the wrong time... hope it's not an omen or premonition to a life changing move.

Oh - heythereluna - I have a feeling we may process through a case complete around the same time. Plus I am expecting a checklist.

Ha! - the minute we get a cc, I am going to call my husband and right afterwards will post it here. Kendraf submitted a few days before us ( I believe 3 business days)...

Don't say the evil C-word!

 

(It's driving me mad that they're handing out checklists because people's documents are in the wrong orientation. It takes exactly 2 seconds to turn the page in any PDF reader. GAH.)

Off topic - just noticed, I became a senior member on VJ... is our case THAT old? Did we wait THAT long?

Yes we were the Thursday before..I have good feelings for end of week for you guys!!! I was so convinced a check list was coming but at the same time..people who submitted around the same time already had them so I think you are in the pile of someone just needs to push the dang button haha
