Yes, following James' shortcuts word for word works really well.

Guess what we had in the mail today :) :)

[Mononoke28 135]

Good for you!!!!

[Jasmin 1]

Thank you!

That "missing info" in your timeline, that's the DS-230 that hasn't been processed yet, right?

'missing info' means they have received the 864

then when they receive the 230 it changes to 'we have received your checklist'

then you sit and stew for a long while - then you get 'case complete' - then they wait 2 weeks to send it to the embassy

then you wait wait wait and wait and after that you wait to wait

oh dear i think it's sent me NUTS !

Hoping Diana gets her 'complete' today or wednesday then we will be the day after

Nothing as of this morning Alan.

Right that's it ! going to string myself up - florida is off- new car is off - had enough

going to live in a driftwood shack in the Canaries and Carolyn can come with me or go back and live in a snow drift in Wisconsin surrounded by raccoons and survivalists.

I am going to buy some spray paint and write 'BUM' on the wall !!!!!!

Cooked a nice chicken this afternoon though so I think I will have that first - then a pint of Timmy Taylor championship beer - then rethink it.....

something is not happening at NVC - the wheel is off - vacations ? re-training ? new computers ? I dont know but they have stopped !

They received my JAMES 230 form a week last thursday at 9am but I have not even got their original 230 yet !!

they can't even lick a stamp !

crazy !

gibber gibber rant rant stamp crash wallop grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Oh boy... the drama!

Hey guys,

I understand that usually the "missing info" part is about the 864. But in Diana's timeline it says that they have completed reviewing it. How can the missing info still be about it? Sure it's not about the 230?

Diana is getting the same message as me at the moment which says 'your checklist has been received' and means the ds 230 is on the system to be reviewed and the 864 is ok

she was getting 'missing documents' prior to her 230 arriving there (and getting on the system which takes 2 or 3 days)

No doubt she will confirm this soon...

right going to call em now to see if they worked all night on my file

Since there are 2 parts to the NVC process, 1) is the AOS/I-864 and 2) the IV bill/DS-230, they were finished with the I-864 when I sent it and said that they were missing info to complete my case, which was the DS-230. As soon as I sent that one it now says that they are reviewing it.

Alan, I checked this morning again and... NOTHING.

Diana - nothing for me either - but I went to yorkshire this morning and left a spreadbet running on the £ and the euro against the $

that is both legal and tax free in Europe and a crime in the USA

- just got home and it has made £330 !!! drat so I cant do it in the US- just when i was getting good at it

so i think our luck is turning and it is SOON !!!!

the actual message refers to the 'checklist' being received and is being reviewed....

It is 2 weeks tomorrow since they received mine and guess what ? the 'real' 230 dropped through my letter box this morning...

So james shortcuts actually saved around 2 weeks and the email agent saved 2.5 weeks also - the 864 was not worth doing and did not save anything BUT if there had been a problem with it, doing James' would have helped so yes I am glad I did the 864 too ..

ok I am assuming the lotus position and going on hunger strike until 'case complete'

correction - the letter i received today from nvc today is dated july 20th and says they received the 864 but not the visa fee ...

the visa check was processed by them on july 20th so this letter has crossed in the post with the check..

So I do not have the original 230 yet and it is taking 19 days to receive letters from nvc...

So that means that James short cuts have saved me even MORE time than I estimated although I can't say that for certain until I get 'case complete'

[Mononoke28 135]

Maybe you won't get since you sent it ahead of time. I never got my I-864.

Hmm... maybe I did and I can't remember since that was two months ago.

Oh my gosh... over 3 months at the NVC. This whole thing just blows.

It's weird because I sent the 230 the day after they said it was 'coming out to me' - I can't believe their system is so sophisticated that it does not mail out a form if the fake is received by them the day after the real one is generated

No way is their mail room system up to that...cant be...nope...who knows - not me

Chin up Diana - last lap gal.... the end is nigh....lets hope we get to the promised land before the asteroid vapourises us
