Yo, Darnell, seriously? So no sleep for me tonight, either?

MrsW--I hope we're next! It's coming! I can feel it!

Possibly the system/portal of doom updates at certain times during the weekends if someone is working from home. Or all Friday's case completes are uploaded on Saturday? Who knows.

Yes! That certainly gave us hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just thinking this past week, that someone should be doing some "extra work" since NVC is so overloaded. Hopefully they got the same idea and put some employees to work a little bit more.

Come on NVC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

welcome!! hopefully the NVC will quit giving stupid RFEs.....Hope your husband's NOA2 comes quick!
I'm guilty too of getting mad at hubby at times or more like stressed out & drag him along when he deals with this process more calmly then me or at least it seems like that at times.

Welcome! Good luck on your husbands NOA2!

Thanks! I hope they catch up with my husband's approval!!!

Vivek, that's fantastic!!! Congratulations!!

BB and Tharnsur, Woo Hoo!!! It's official!

Melody, Don't worry. It's probably false, looking for your DS-230 or some other stupid NVC #######.

Sachi, I'm calling log in fail for you on Tuesday with case complete on Wednesday with an April interview. You've worked way too hard for it to be anything else.

Natalia, same for you. Dreaming of NVC is just too much. It's time for log in fail already.

Tokyo, Why are you translating? Once documents get to the NVC stage, if they're in English or the official language of the country your petition is going to (for you, Japan), then they don't need to be translated. Unless Tokyo is different for some odd reason...

Newcomers, Welcome and congratulations on your approvals! I hope your journey through NVC flies by as quickly and smoothly as your trip through USCIS did. (Approvals in two months... WTH?! Lucky sons a'... )

.............

The land of Cape Cods and dancing was great. I sent the DS-230 today. I couldn't wait. I have, however, decided not to call the AVR until Friday.

:ot:

Has anyone been back to New Orleans since Katrina? We've decided against driving to LA (Eff passing through CBP with two minor LPRs) and have decided on the other LA instead.

Okay....

:ot2:

Today, Husby asked "Why don't we have an interview yet? Didn't you do it right?" Grr!!! Child!! Don't play like that! On the upside, we've decided on a date for the wedding. September 18th. So, rather than meeting up in Vegas, you're all invited to take a wonderful vacation to Thailand to enjoy a traditional wedding and tour the country. :star:

Thankyou All...... Yeah it was really about time.

Melody........ If you are wondering my AVR still says it has missing or incomplete documents. So I am 100% sure yours is a false RFE.

Ofcourse I already checked about 5 times :lol:

I even rebooted my computer and checked again.........hahaha

I see a packet leaving NVC to Mumbai today:) i hope that's your packet. I believe your case was completed/approved yesterday:)

Kari - Congrat on the wedding:) I'm sure it's going to be beautiful. Iif i'm in Thailand during that time I'll definitely try to attend your wedding. My last trip to Thailand was in 2007. It was great then but I've heard a lot of stuff that make me think twice about going there now. I definitely don't want to get stuck at the airport due to political unrest:(

Looks like the NVC is catching up. I see some CC/LIFs.

I hope I can get everything in soon and get my CC/LIF. However, I am happy with a May interview. I do have the option to request an earlier interview once they assign a date.

Well, good luck everyone. Next week will be magical; there will be a lot of CC/LIFs to come.

I woke up and first thing I did was sign in!!! Arghhhhh!!!

I feel so hopeless and discouraged!!! I don't understand why we are so unfortunate with NVC.

We are here since February for God's sake!!!

I'm starting to think that it's more likely to get an RFE than a LIF next week for me.

:crying: :crying: :crying:

Whatever is on your tax return, the exact number.

Whats LIF stand for?

Tharnsur--Remind me how to track the DHL packages again?

sachinky -

go to this site: http://track.dhl-usa.com/TrackRslts.asp?nav=TrackRslt

use the this "EXP 11 MAR 2010A" for the reference search.

- Change the date to your target date

- use +/-1 day for your target date

- use 03801 for original postal code

- and play with the target date until you get a list of tracking numbers that match your embassy:)

See example of the search query here:
