NVC March 2010 Edition!

[Sean John 0]

Alright, I guess it's my turn to be pissed,freak out and what not.

I just called NVC and spoke to someone because my packages were delivered on the 22nd and 23rd, i.e. AOS and 230 respectively and the AVR still says its waiting for the Biographic Forms.

The lady on the phone said one of the packages was scanned into the system on the 25th but she can't say which one and the other one is still languishing in the mail room. Are they doing this on purpose? I mean come on already. It's been a week for cryin' out loud.

My Dad took me to lunch and bought a movie to watch Gotta love my Daddy I dont know how relaxing 2012 will be to watch might even make me more nervous... hehehehehe amit is wanting to start having kids in 2012... i wonder if he realizes that time frame will be the end of the world

with all the earthquake of this Island and recently the one from Chile I really wish to know how much will cost a ticket for the Noel Arch

RFE (Request For Evidence) NOTES from the LingChe guides:

Stay on top of your case during your stay in NVC so you catch an RFE as soon as it pops up.

IF YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT YOU HAVE AN RFE, USE CAUTION. The RFE advice below is under review. A VJ member has reported that they know of instances where sending in RFE information has delayed cases. We are waiting for specific information on these instances, and until such time we caution all users of the guide to use their best judgement in responding to a "possible RFE".

If you review your packages, you might even find an RFE before NVC does, and can send the correction at anytime.

When reviewing your package, it's helpful to know some common RFE as linked here [[10]], as well as searching the forums.

If you are issued an RFE, send following documents:

IF YOU CONFIRM WITH NVC THAT YOU HAVE AN RFE, DISREGARD THE WARNING ABOVE.

BARCODED cover sheet you printed from the website, but when addressing your package, change the Attention line from "ATTN: CMR" to "ATTN: DR"

Your own Cover Sheet listing the documents you're sending and reason.

Include the documents missing or corrected based on operator suggestion and your own common sense.

Pending our PAID status - I'm going to send the 230 in today..Fingers crossed. I am going over our checklist - We have the police clearance certificate but not the "passport office police certificate?" didn't see that anywhere on the govt checklist site...what is that!?!?!?

some countries require 2 police clearances. India is one of those. if you've not lived in india for 6 months or more, of continuous residence, DO NOT SWEAT THIS.

#######... u would think they would have atleast scanned it into the system... seems like we are back at the ol days in USCIS... were our documents are growing cob webs and being chewed on by mice.... I think that it should be updated by the end of the week... I believe they are a few days behind due to the weather.... I am glad to see that I am not the only one freaking out everyone around here just seems soo calm all the time

LOL... maybe you can see if they can give us a group discount... we could leave from Las Vegas when we all met up there

Whilst yer waiting - I suggest that you cook for about 4 hours, take photos of all that yer doing whilst cooking, and post photos of the food porn in another forum here. (Thanks in advance - I'm on a diet, need food porn).

Hang in there - go do something else whilst yer waiting.

Tell me about it....

Here we are paying out of our ####*s to get the sh*t to them as quickly as possible and there they are sitting on theirs. Such jerks I tell you. At least they hire soft-spoken and reassuring operators to calm our nerves...

At least tell me you have it so I can know you have'nt lost all of my wife's original documents....

Just got my NOA2 today, thought I should head on over here.

Congrats! Now get ready, things start moving really fast. If you received the NOA2 hardcopy, start calling the NVC to get your case number. Then talk to an operator to give them your email addresses. From there, things start to fly. If you just got the text message, give it a couple of days, then start calling.

Ok, I am still not sure I should send an amended DS230. I dont have "best judgment" anymore. I dont know what to do. Maybe they will overlook it? Maybe? Or is that a big fat chance. Someone make this decision for me!
