Good point -- where is everyone???

As for the proof of relationships -- I have heard that phone logs, copies of emails, chat sessions are good ideas. I personally have phone logs only -- hope that's enough :-)

Hi all,

For the CR-1....

-How long does it take (usually) for mumbai to receive the case after NVC forwards it?

-Can we send packet three on our own as soon we know that mumbai has the case (to save time against the postal system)

-How long after filing packet 3 do they usually offer interview?

I'm asking because my case is likely to be forwarded within the next couple of weeks.

thanks for the info.
