USPS attempted to deliver my DS-3032 today. Of course, today is a federal holiday...so a notice was left. No surprise.

I was surprised, though, that USPS is working today! Isn't that strange??? :unsure:

They don't deliver on Holidays. I got a attempt to deliver several times on Sat and Sun and they didn't. It just something with their tracking that shows it at that. Nothing really to worry about. It just the way it is with them.

Signed, Sealed and Delivered!

I feel 'ya! I am too hoping for an early Jan date.... and why not late Dec ( I know, it's not very realistic :)

Good luck!

LadyDare...Don't want to burst your bubble, just want to give you a realistic picture of the wait in getting an interview in Lagos. I've been following other Nigeria IR1/CR1 visa interview schedules on VJ and it appears that the timeline between NVC case completion and the interview is about 2 - 2.5 months. Of course there are always exceptions, but that seems to be the average in the last 3 months....Just wanted you to be aware of this so you don't drive yourself crazy. My motto is always, expect the worst and hope for the best! :)

It should be fine and she should have been the one in reality sending it. That is what I did. I am curious as to why she forwarded it when She could have just Cut and Pasted it and sent it as her own... :bonk: But you know the answer don't you. Its a good lesson for us also to always remember our spouses don't always think critically and might need better direction from us when we ask them to do things. Don't take it for granted that they know or think the same way we do. I know I have had a few Awe Shucks, you did what?, moments. :blink:

Yeah, I'm a little ocd and it was much easier just to tell her to forward it and delete all the parts that showed "forward". She can cut the heck out of hair and style it but not the brightest when it comes to computers and online stuff. We spent about three hours going over the DS-230 line by line so she was already tired of me asking her questions and having her look through things over and over again. I told her that's all that's needed for now since I have all the police certificate, marriage license and documents to submit to the NVC. What's awesome is that I have a friend that is visiting Cambodia right now and she's gonna give my friend the forms to bring to me instead of sending it in the mail. Save some money from that. I'll be flying over there a week or so before her interview and will be there with her when she goes and get her medical done so the bulk of it is done.

:rofl: That's a good plan. I have a friend living in the capital now. Haven't heard from him in a while so he might be back in Thailand. Take care and I would not worry about it I am sure NVC gets much worse for many others...

Goo Havens! I tried to call NVC today. It require 15 or so spam-calls to reach the AVRS. When normally it only takes 3 or 4. I guess everyone's impatient to hear something new. Me also. But obiously there's nothing new Perhaps later today I will call again.

:rofl: :rofl: Tell me about it. That's the road we have chosen. I had lots of problems and still have for that matter. Silly things like My wife didn't want to appoint me on the DS-3032! :o I was like :devil: but it was finally worked out. I am hoping it will be easier once we are face to face. I think a lot of it comes from Miscommunication. We assume they know and they think they understand. Neither of which is accurate. God help us all. :whistle:

Ugh, we're still not in the system per the AVR just now. That's a week. I'm hoping the delay is because of the holiday and we'll have our NVC number early next week. Should I have tried to speak to an operator? Is there some way an operator could see our file had been created but not the AVR?
