Sigh. We sent out the email choice of agent thing tuesday before last, the 10th and have yet to hear anything! I called the NVC and asked them what was up and the lady basically told me to wait because it's taking 10-15 days to process this sort of thing.

Man they must be really really backed up :(

Meanwhile, my husband's received the actual choice of agent email. They better hurry up and acknowledge the email! The shortcut's not supposed to take longer than the normal route!

You're welcome! (And I'm glad I'm not the only one who calls the NVC many times a day too lol!)

Fingers crossed for you! :)

Count me in that too bro :D

My cell phone bill contains the NVC number so many times. It on my speed dial list with my case number embedded so its just a one button touch to reach our dear friends @ NVC....

I call so many times that I don't even think while pushing buttons, I just do. I also push them before the lady starts saying each sentence so it takes me about 10 seconds max to get the info I need. :whistle:

Yup! NVC is one of my contacts on my list. I just press the #6 key on my cell and it brings me to the N's, which is only NVC. It's a lot quicker to dial that way.

I do the same thing as Mononoke too. I don't waste time by listening to the same thing over and over again, I just press buttons until I get to the operator or until I hear the automated message for our case. It's like it comes naturally lol and it's SO much quicker!

I e-mailed our choice of agent last Thursday and still haven't received an acceptance from the NVC. Does it normally take this long? I was expecting to have it at least by today-that's 3 business days not counting Thursday. At what point do I call them? Thanks...

Ah, no wonder we can't get through with you lot calling 24/7..! :hehe:

You can read the shortcuts to have an idea of where to send this stuff back to the NVC http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=117

Make sure to check out pages 10 & 11 where the updated info is located.

LOL I just want to say that I've only called them since we arrived at the NVC in late May about 7-8 times. That includes the automated thing.

Folks,

is there a better time to call the NVC. I have never been able to speak to an operator at all. All the time its the damn automated system. I even tried calling arounf 11PM and did some sampling for later afternoon etc.. but to no luck!!!!

Can we ever get some live individual speaking to us at all?
