Since I first received my NVC welcome letter I have consistently called the NVC annually to keep the file active. I indicated each time to the person I spoke with that the processing of my and my wife's applications was to coincide with me retiring from my job of 35+ years. Each time I spoke with someone, they clearly indicated that both of our files were active and that this was an appropriate method to do. This year when I went to call the message says that they are no longer answering phones and that all interaction needs to be done via the web page. I felt that now that I am close to wanting to retire, and my son is firmly established in his job that it would be an appropriate time to actually submit the NVC application.
