I've tried 6 times now.... lines are busy grrrr, diverts me back to the IVR

edit: hmmm says they are open till midnight!! Somehow i don't believe that!

Just like the drive through!

I suppose a lot of people call Friday so they don't have to wonder all weekend if there is any update. Keep trying!

Yep, call in 11:58PM EDT (USA will be continuing on daylight savings until November 4 this year), wait on hold 5 minutes, you'll still get to talk to an operator!

WOW, i got another REALLY rude operator, and its clear they are making notes of how often i call. They knew i'd called friday and every other day last week, this woman was really rude. WAIT 2-6 weeks BEFORE YOU CALL!!! rar rar rar, what a b*tch, they don't seem to realise our lives depend on this and its something quite sensitive.

p*ssed off

they only had to check my marriage cert, birth cert and police cert, and they are all official orginal docs, whats the damm problem!? GRRR

Girl, they did that to me too. As much as I want to be rude to them, I just stayed as calm as possible and thank them every time I speak to them. This is their job, and the understanding of every single day of delay on our case does not crossed their minds of the agony of being separated and anxiety to get the case completed by them.

You know what I used to do as my past time to keep my mind off of these NVC thing? Posts and posts some more on VJ, you will get the platinum member status in no time

haha yep your right! more posts! haha

It just really annoys me that they can be like that, i even tried to explain i was told the IVR doesn't always update and wanted the info first hand but she was still rude. And now i know they are monitoring the amount of times i call it makes it even harder to come up with a reason for calling... but.. i just wanna know!!!! ARRRRGH

Here's another one for you...

Email them, even if you know that you will get a reply after 10 days. It's really annoying especially with this last part- DS230.

I used JSC, and that was the original packet for the DS230. I sent mine ahead of time. I waited close to 4 weeks for them to review my DS230, and at one point misplaced 3 documents while on review. They asked to resubmit my DS230 electronically, when I refused to send them a new set of docs.

Do you know how long do you have to wait for interview once your case is completed?

Hey Nikki,

Sorry you don't have an update yet! (me either). I know what you mean about the operators tracking how many times you have called.

Of all the times I have called I have only had 1 say to me the old - 'did you call about this yesterday'? And it kind of took me aback. I was thinking about this on Friday when you mentioned it and I said 'well call anyway'. At the same time I'm thinking I'm ALSO a little hesitant to call. As this is their plan - it appears to be working!

So, my thought now is, when I call again which will probably be today, if they say anything to me I'm going to say something like - is there a rule about how many times you can call? I will say this in the nicest possible way of course

If you are being rude to someone (the operator I got wasn't actually rude per se) and no one ever calls you on it - I guess you just continue to be rude?
