NVC Filers - September 2014

Welcome to another monthly thread for those going through NVC! :)

This thread is strictly for questions and progress. If you want to rant about this ridiculous process, please do so in this side thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/513879-the-nvc-moral-supportranting-thread/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before posting questions, please read the wiki I wrote on the NVC process here. Once you're done, read it one or two more times to really understand it ;) Don't forget to also read the official form instructions as well as USCIS and NVC's websites!
For up to date time frames, you can view my spreadsheet here. If you would like to be added (or have your entry updated), then please fill out the request form here (please read the instructions at the top carefully, especially the update part as people aren't filling the form out correctly [they're filling out information not needed]). And before submitting the form, please make sure the consulate on your timeline isn't the default Armenia. I will NOT add/update you if it is. Also make sure your timeline is completely filled out up to the point where you are.
If you want to see a visual of the NVC process, please view my flowchart here.
I will be much less active in answering posts in these monthly threads, so don't bother asking me questions directly and please don't send me PMs with questions. If you send me a PM with a question that can be posted here, I will NOT reply. Just post them here for everyone to see and someone will come along to answer. Remember to be patient (re: just post once and wait) ;)

And if for whatever reason, you can't find the answer, try searching both on this website and on Google. It's amazing what you can find if you search ;)

If you're wondering about time frames, I've got a spreadsheet available for a reason ;) And if that doesn't help, look at the fellow members right here in this thread! Study their signatures/timelines and make notes. VJ also has this awesome page. Use it! I sure did during my process :)

And once you've got a case complete, please join Dwheels's case complete/interview thread (currently October), here.

New spreadsheet layout!! Please, please read this paragraph carefully before filling out the request form. Do NOT fill it out if you do not plan on staying on top of your case. Some of the dates require you to call NVC and find things out as soon as possible. If you are not going to do this, do NOT bother to fill my form out. This spreadsheet isn't for those that just want to get on my spreadsheet. It's for those that want to help in calculating average time frames for each step. This includes having the correct consulate listed in your timeline (not Armenia!) and having your timeline completely up to date. I'll still keep the "lighter" version available until the end of the year (or sooner, depending how things go), which you can find the request form for that above. Also, please take the time to fill out my form carefully. Pretend it's one of the immigration forms :P Because this time around, I will be issuing my own sort of checklist to people who incorrectly fill my form out. Trust me, you don't want to get one :no: So, to summarize, only fill out the new request form if you're serious. All others need not apply. This new spreadsheet layout can still be found on the same link as the old one, it's just the second tab on the bottom, labelled 'New 2014'. If you are on the old layout (whether you have a case complete or not), you can still transfer to the new one if you wish. Just fill out the request form and choose 'Add'. I'll happily switch you over. Just make sure to fill out all the new dates! The link to my new request form can be found here.
