According to all our APers' current timelines, your case should be out any day soon, too, dzyrhetom!

Having been through it now myself, I advise calling every day because it seems they really have no idea what they're saying, and the information provided by one agent can be opposite to what the other one will say in a phonecall maybe even minutes apart.

On the other hand, I feel a lot better now, but I must admit I am just as worried about the outcome of the interview. The embassy employee said today they had nothing at all even mentioning the wait at NVC, butbut. You never know with them.

WOHOOO.... ohh yes, AT LAST NVC has COMPLETED our processing..They have already forwarded our case to the USEM...What a wonderful night it is for me here!!! Thanks God...

Ive just got an email from NVC tonight in replied from my inquiry and called them too right after I have read the letter and yes, indeed, its TRUE.....The packet 3 is on its way to USEM Manila.. :dance::dance::dance::dance:

Ohh btw, THANKS Badgerella...I think NVC released OUR case at the same ... So to all who are still there , dont lose hope! Soon NVC will release/ forward your case to the USEM.. Be positive...Goodluck to all of us....

Congratulations!!! :dance:

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

From what I've learned from other people here on VJ, it is quite the norm for NVC to do additional backround checks on the petitioner/beneficiary, in most cases the petitioner. It's very frustrating a

I've read my NOA2 notice quite carefully and it doesn't say we have found this petition to be eligible for a Visa...it says that the petition has been approved for one. They really ought to stop pri

Perhaps the electronic copy doesn't show it, but I can tell you that my interviewer had the report in her hand, as part of the case. She mentioned it to me as she leafed through about half an inch of paper, all with boxes down the right hand side, and bits highlighted. That's when she said we had been quite a while in AP. I said yes...51 days! I was trying to read it upside down :lol:

Ooo, so that makes us win. We were there for FIFTY TWO days!!! ;)

I have no idea what exactly is coming to them through actual mail, but he said nothing in the electronic file was showing the 7 week wait, or anything at all related to it. Either way, as long as it's some random cr*p, I don't care. I hope it'll be painless!

Hmm... there seems to be a sudden batch of approvals.

Do you suppose they just hired some clerks there, and now all the AP cases are going to be plowed through in a hurry? That would be lovely!!!!!!!!
