Hi all!

We are officially done at the NVC as of 4/15/2009 per the AVR system!!

No RFE for us - thank god.

Now, we just have to wait to be scheduled for an interview, I suppose. Hoping for one in the very near future - optimism never hurt throughout the process (at least thus far). :)

Just thought I'd update. Good luck to all!

Serendipity,

We had the same issue in our NVC journey. It was quite frustrating - they put a note on it to get a supervisor to update it, but it takes forever. Apparently, the problem is that the IV payment becomes available to be paid online before the internal NVC system is ready to accept payment. So, you pay online, but since the internal system wasn't in sync, the payment doesn't process both places. Quite silly - they shouldn't let you pay on the website until they are ready across the board to accept the fee. In any case, I feel your pain. Be patient, they will get to it, and a bit quicker than their quoted timeline, although not much. Good luck!
