ANY SUGGESTIONS ??? I called the NVC and they told me that there's still nothing, but I need to call the CSC to see if my petition has been sent, so I call the CSC and I think even if they know it's been shipped out they're not going to tell you, but they do say to contact the NVC to see if it's there !! What gives??? Sounds like the old "passing the buck routine"
Has anybody had any luck finding out for sure if their petition has been sent by the CSC, or is it just better to concentrate on calling the NVC and see if it shows up there ??

In my experience, NVC is organized and probably a lot better off technologically than USCIS. They will tell you what date it gets there, when it got sent off to the embassy, etc. Their customer service is very good when you get through to a live person. I never even tried calling USCIS because I've read on VJ about so many people calling there and just being fed a bunch of BS from someone who doesn't give a rat's ### about your application...then calling back the next day and hearing a completely different line of BS from someone else. Plus, I figured the time would go faster if I didn't think too much about the USCIS process that seemed to be getting longer and longer, especially after the fee increase fiasco. I think I just called NVC randomly about 5 or 6 months after my NOA1 and they had just received my paperwork!
I think I called NVC about a day after they had received it and they acknowledged the receipt. They told me to call back about two weeks later to check the status. I called about a week later and found out it had been forwarded to the embassy about two or three days after they had received it.
I called the embassy about three weeks or so after NVC had forwarded the paperwork to find out if they had received it. They said yes, and told me the interview date and said that my wife should have received the paperwork by now. If she didn't receive it soon, the lady said she should go to the embassy to get a copy of her packet 3/4. Erika called me a couple hours later and told me she received the paperwork in the mail.
My advice would be not to worry too much. If it's due at NVC soon, just call there once, maybe twice a week. Until then, there's nothing you can do to speed up the process. It's just a big waiting game, unfortunately.

Thanks so much. After talking to the CSC I figured out that once the petition is approved it gets sent to a staging area , where it is handled by contract workers so they really don't have a clue when it leaves and ends up at the NVC. I figured twice a week for the NVC will do.

One month for the transfer has become the norm for CSC. Your should reach NVC pretty soon. hang in there little bit more. good luck.

Glad I could be of some assistance. We're all almost reunited with our wonderful spouses! I'm excited for Erika and I and for everyone of us on visajourney who filed around the same time.

The waiting time has become a month nowadays.
Keep them calling,and hang in there just a little more!
Good luck!

After we had waited 3 weeks from our approval my husband called CSC and NVC very often.
In most cases calling CSC was useless because every time they gave different information and said that everything was normal and in the time frame. Only once he received a useful info from a lady from CSC. This lady told that CSC has hired contractors who are dealing with the dispatch of cases to NVC. Moreover she put my husband on hold on and get through with this contractors to ask about the case. They said not to expect soon transfer because our I 129 F was sent to staging area not on 15 August (when was the approval) but on 5 September. Approx. three weeks later the case was received. So very rarely you can get through with somebody form CSC who will be useful.
I think that it is time for your case to be received - lately 5 - 6 weeks is the usual timeline for the transfer. This is very painful I know.Wish you big luck
Thanks Kalina and Zolanden. The encouragement I receive from the both of you means a LOT because of the long wait times the CSC put you through. It's 5 weeks for me today but I'm only going to call a couple of times a week. I'm not going to get obsessed ,I know it will be at the NVC very soon.
Just wondering when should I expect my appointment letter?(packet4).
I am getting so so excited about the interview!
Can I call them that I am ready?Or PATIENTLY(
)wait for the packet4?

I am going for the medical exam next Wednesday, October 24th. They will send me at that time for my MMR immunization as I have nothing that shows I ever had a rubella shot.
I have everything else on the checklist but now I am getting confused about the Affidavit of support. Does my husband need to complete one? I have not seen a request in any of our documents or letters received that state we need it. If we do, which one? There appears to be a I-134 and an I-864 along with an I-864A and an I-864EZ.
There is also mention in the Vancouver, Canada US Embassy/Consulate Info section of an OF-167. What is that and do we need it for our purposes?

Please disregard my previous message. I emailed the Vancouver Consulate yesterday and got a response this morning.....they are so quick. They advised I only need what is on the checklist so I don't need Will to complete an Affidavit of Support.
i have my uncle as our co-sponsor. He is a doctor and owns his own clinic. well i got a copy of his income tax return from last year and there are over 70 pages. 
so i am just curious... would the consulate people actually look at all these papers. its mind boggling. i mean most of the information that is any use to our case is in the first 4 pages.

They might glance through it all, but will probably know exactly which lines and pages to look at. They'll probably just look at those lines/items and then file it. I would include it all though, just in case.

My husband is pretty calm but I am so nervous. I know our case is pretty simple and genuine but there is this fear at the back of my mind to what if????? i am having trouble sleeping.. and have lost like 4 pounds (hehe not a bad thing i guess)

I have spent a fair amount of time organizing paperwork, so I'm not worried at all. I have read and re-read and re-re-read packet 3 to make sure I have all the information that they will require, and it's in an accordian file folder in the order they want it. I have also read the embassy reviews for my wife's country just to double check that we have the same paperwork as they have been requiring recently. The reviews will also give you a good idea of what to expect for the interview (i.e. how many questions, how long of a wait, how nice or grumpy
the workers are, etc.) She has done everything she needs to do and I have all the paperwork I needed to get done, so we're set! The only thing left to do is show up and show them that we're in love 
As long as you have all your paperwork in order, just relax and take a deep breath. You'll get the visa My wife and I are so unworried that we're planning things to do once she gets here
Don't worry....be excited!!!
Good luck to all who have an interview coming up this week. Do stop back and let us know your experience and how it went.
Our's is next week.

How is everyone doing? I haven't followed this March filers topic since I went back to China (to visit my wife) for 3 weeks from 9/28-10/20.. I hope that everyone gets their interview and get to be together soon.. We are still waiting for our approval =( but we did get touched this morning for both apps (10/22/07).. Hopefully something will happen for us.. Just 1 month's time difference between you guys and us, and most of you already have your interview

Who else has an interview this week? Good luck to everyone who does
Our interview is this Friday. I am flying down to Peru to go to the interview with my wife and to bring her back. She would probably freak out if she had to go through customs and find her way through the Houston airport by herself
If all goes according to plan, we'll be back on Halloween Wish us luck!

good luck LvivLovers ..
oh why why why.. just because we apply 1 month later, we have to endure a much longer wait? I'm jealous.. you guys applied in March and already have an interview date in October.. so technically we should have one in November?... I probably won't even get approved in November... that is just SO WRONG...

I am so mad about this.. just because we apply one month late, we have to wait much longer now.. I actually cried this time when I left China... she made me cry at the airport.. I really miss her and want to be together.. why can't we at least get approved?.. That is better than nothing.. they say they are looking at our case now.. but they said they need up to 30 days to do a "REQUIRED INVESTIGATION".. these kind of cases require it, they said... I already work for the government, so they already did a background check on me... that is so stupid.. they should do background checks (and IQ checks) on these USCIS officers.. they should put quotas as to how many they should finish in 1 day...

She would probably freak out if she had to go through customs and find her way through the Houston airport by herself If all goes according to plan, we'll be back on Halloween Wish us luck!

I am so mad about this.. just because we apply one month late, we have to wait much longer now.. I actually cried this time when I left China... she made me cry at the airport.. I really miss her and want to be together.. why can't we at least get approved?.. That is better than nothing.. they say they are looking at our case now.. but they said they need up to 30 days to do a "REQUIRED INVESTIGATION".. these kind of cases require it, they said... I already work for the government, so they already did a background check on me... that is so stupid.. they should do background checks (and IQ checks) on these USCIS officers.. they should put quotas as to how many they should finish in 1 day...

I completely understand your frustration! I felt like ours also took much longer than those that applied a month or two before us. It drove me crazy! All I can do is wish that the rest of your process is much quicker. Hopefully because of the amount of time you have already waited they will work a little harder to catch you up. Best of luck!
Good luck zolanden, Lvivlovers and kalina. Let's bring 'em home!

It took 40 days and 40 nights but as of yesterday my approved petition is at the NVC. They said it should be on to the embassy by Friday !!
I do have a potential problem with middle names now but I'm hoping to address that issue at the embassy.

jade, looks like NVC held on to yours for a little while. Well, based on the timelines of other VJer's from Jordan, you should have your husband here well before the end of the year. We're pulling for you
Wish everyone with their interviews this week a best of luck. By God's grace everything will be fine.
my husband's interview is in 2 weeks..... so little restless myself.

I am so glad about it!
Good luck!
We passed interview today. Visas will be delivered on Friday or Monday. Everything was o.k. The most difficult part was security checks because I am with baby and they didn't allow me to go there with the baby carriage. So I had to carry my 9 kg. baby in hands all the time
They asked me only if I have been in USA before and for how long. I've been there for 6 months before a year. The most important is to have all required documents. The officer refuse to take photos and etc. because we have a child and this is a proof for relationship. I am very happy now. This journey is so exhausting.
Parachute, wonderful news. Now everything will be faster. You are close to the final.
Wish luck to everybody else with forthcoming interviews!!!

Wow, a forty day wait. That probably means 42 days for ours to reach the NVC.
I hope the rest goes quickly for you sir Parachute!!QUOTE(kalina @ Oct 24 2007, 12:08 PM)
