I just got a call from NVC I think. The number is 603-334-9400 and "US.GOVT DEPT OF" showed on the Caller ID. I didn't make it to the phone on time unfortunately and and they left no message and when I called this number back the recording said "you have reached a non-working number of the US DEPT OF STATE, check the number..."

Has anyone heard of this happening? I am both excited and scared that they called me. I guess at this point I would rather just be denied than to keep waiting indefinitely without knowing anything. I don't think my fiancee or I have any reasons for denial so I'll try to stay positive but this process has pushed me right to the edge of sanity. On second thought maybe I have already slipped over that edge...

I just called the number for self-torture and the guy was really nice and tried to find out what was going on/who called. After holding for five minutes or so he came back on the line and said he had been unable to find out anything and that there appears to be no change in my case status and that if no one calls me from there within an hour to call back and ask for a supervisor.

On the edge, not sure which side.

Funny to quote oneself, but for information puposes...

I talked to a supervisor this evening about the phone call I had received from NVC this morning and after some investigation she said that she was told that I should forget about the phone call. LOL! )) I am hoping that it means that they are finally at least looking our my file, any opinions? Looking for some kind of hope.

I bet the next time they call you will answer it...

That is NVC number, same number that came up on my caller ID when a supervisor called me to tell me our K3 was out of AP.

Today was the day that NVC cust service sent me over the edge ... I got the rep that has such a bad grasp on the english language that my fiance who does not speak english as her primary language could teach this woman english. She said she could not tell me anything other than the script.. she said she would get a supervisor.. then she came back to say nobody had time to talk to me now.. call back later... I said I would be glad to hold... No can't hold I have to use the line... call back... Since I had already called and waited on hold I saw no need to do it again tonight... So she said hold on and got what was reported to be a "supervisor".. yup her english was worst than the original rep.... She had no answers other than the ones given by the first person and when I asked what AP was and why I was having to go through it... Because of "natural security" she could not say nothing... and if I wanted to talk to someone I could call DOS... yep same number from earlier today when they asked me why I called them and not NVC... she finally gave me the silent treatment when I would ask her a question.. and when I would say well are you there? Are you going to answer me? She would just say.. yes I am here I hear you...

So now its off to see my congressman tomorrow... Funny thing that his office is only a couple of blocks from mine... then off to get my senator into it... I paid to get the damned visa application processed and there is no reason for it to take any longer than any other case... or to just sit on someones desk..

Ahh the rant is done...

National Security?? #######?? We have 2 porous borders, tens of thousands of illegal immigrants...and here we all are trying to follow every rule in the book, filled out every form with every piece of private information you can think of and they put our lives on hold for months!?? And oh yeah we paid for this ####### also.

I wish people who follow the rules would get a break from time to time instead of getting screwed EVERYTIME.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE...until my fiancee is next to me I don't consider us out of the woods just yet.

I just called and they said my file is shipping to Manila Today!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG.

Checked DHL and there's a 60lb package to the Philippines.

I can't cry here at work...so I'll just save it until I call my fiancee.

Thank you all for your support...hope I'm not alone with the good news today :)

Well...ALL RIGHT! Darn good news bro. 60lb??? thats gotta be a bunch of other files right? Tell me you didnt submit 60lbs of documentation! LOL

LOL Yep just my phone bill and e-mails are probably 5 lbs

Hi all!

(1) Can IR-1/CR-1 be put on AP also? I noticed that mostly K1's are on AP at NVC.

(2) When you say you spoke to a Supervisor at NVC, how sure are you that the person you spoke to was REALLY a Supervisor? What if it was just a call center staff pretending to be a Supervisor? (just wondering..)
