Josh, did you try calling again? Any luck? It's too soon for me to call, so I will wait my turn! But have you gotten any news??????

I tried a couple times tonight, but I keep getting bounced out of the hold queue due to all the people calling in. I'll just call tomorrow morning when I get to work.

I called the NVC today and gave my case number and they actually had my case entered in their system and said that everything shipped to the embassy yesterday. I did find a DHL shipment sent to Costa Rica yesterday from them...so that could be it. We'll see....

National Visa Center. Your paper work goes there after it gets approved at the VSC or CSC. Then it gets forwarded onto the consulate.

Aha!....thanks =)

Read this link --> http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=98172

It will show you how to track packages. No way of telling if it is yours for sure...but since there was only one package shipped to Costa Rica yesterday (when they said they shipped mine), I have a good feeling that is my package on its way over.

HELLO. I called CsC today and asked if it was shipped out yet. She said Nope that I had to give it 30 days :lol: I know that's standard. Oh well. i will wait til next week to call NVC. I'm so glad we don't need to wait for an interivew date! YAY Other good things: I was reading on the Mex Embassy and it looks like they usually give a visa that same day or the day after...AND the medical is right next to the building woo! I hope these following steps go by fairly quickly.

:yes::yes::yes:

Josh- That was super fast. I'm surprised it was that fast. How long does it normally take to get to the embassy? You only waited 9 days! :wow: Congratz!

Sorry to hear that you got an RFE, but I think that you're fiance should be receiving the notice very soon. Sorry that I dont have more info for you, I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction though. Good luck!!

I'm so sorry you got an RFE.. :(

Yakima! I live about an hour from there :P Keep being patient hon. You may not have to wait THAT long, even though you need to give them more information. I have to say, I'm not sure how long it will take... You can probably call USCIS and ask them what was missing so that you can prepare it and have it ready for when the packet arrives. Just my thought :D

Take care ok.
