Thank you Soloenta! Yes, I did call them and they received my case yesterday :) I used Skype, it is actually really cheap :) :)

Oh yeah, I already spoke to a couple of really grumpy ones, but the one that answered me yesterday (Tom) was really nice!

Good luck with your case!

Thank you so much, yes I spoke to Shelley and when I asked for the Invoice number she hesitated then gave it to me. I rather like the

people on nights much better. :D(F)(L)(F) But today I just couldn't wait. :)

When I called last week the lady told me 30 days from that date! Not from when they received my mail, she was like "so maybe at the end of June." I was like hell nah!

I think I'll call today when I get home from work.

I called a little while ago.... she told me there is mail from the 8th that is not reviewed yet.... Let me know what they say when you call.. I might give it a rest tonight. They log in every time they get a call.. I'm sure there arescreens of info on my case. She did tell me there are alot of notations in my file HA HA HA HA HA

I'm so sorry about your wife must have been just horrible for you and the children.

It was a tough time for sure, especially for her. She already went through a lot before that diagnosis, and was sort of a veteran. She's a cancer survivor now and doing great and can't wait to resettle for good under the Colorado skies.

I had mentioned earlier that I was gonna take a hiatus from my frequent NVC phone calls. So I broke the streak today. I made the phone call and had the longest wait ever, before one of the operators came on and told me that it will not be long before my case is complete. Why? I calmly asked, and she said its because they were revewing April 26th mails (It was a Saturday) and she noted that my I864W was received on May1. I wonder how many days they take to review an average day's mail. Time will tell..... crossed fingers and toes.

They must have us on their own "Most Wanted Call List". I call them more than I call my husband!!

It's been 2 weeks and a day for me and they haven't reviewed my checklist yet.

And I too am hoping for an early July interview or at this point any interview date because I am a school teacher and I need to know if it's worth waiting for him here or if I have to fly to Portugal because of his interview date being much later in July.

Decisions, decisions.... That we can't make yet lol.

Decisions, decisions ... and unnecessary costs because of extended process. I'm truly tired of this, our PD was May 20th, 2013.

Thank you for these :P

May you be right behind! Positive thoughts coming your way ^_^

Ohh thank you :) I'm trying to stay positive, after a year of waiting it's not easy :)

Same here, trying to figure out if it can take less time to review checklists. But I looked again at Lakehouse's signature and he asked for a supervisor review because it was their mistake, so that is why it took less than a week. They refused to initiate a supervisor review for us, stating it takes 30 days and that it is faster to send again the passport copy *sigh*. Well I think 2 weeks and 3 days is the actual timeframe for them to review any package or checklist response. I think you will get a early or mid-July interview, don't stress too much, not being able to do anything to speed up the process is the worse. The employment situation sucks, but your husband will be soon with you, probably in less than 2 months!

Little misunderstanding. I'm the beneficiary and my husband is the petitioner. He moved from US to Poland, cause at the beginning of our journey together we wanted to stay in Europe.

Anyway, i'm tired of this process. Want to start my new life asap.
