I appreciate all the help I get on VJ. It is hard to sometimes read peoples timelines and see that yours is taking so much longer. Some people seem to get through NVC in a couple weeks. We have been going through NVC now for months. Everything had been sent in but then an RFE for the AOS again to be sent in, it was and then another RFE asking for the AOS once again!! Done. Then after I had sent in all the documents with the DS-260 I get an RFE asking for ALL the documents again!!! Done. Then an RFE saying they didn't accept one of my divorce decrees so had to send away for the certified one and then send that to NVC. Done. Now have heard nothing. When I call the recording it says a Checklist letter was emailed on April 16, (the last RFE) and they are waiting for it to return. (it was returned on April 28th). We have actually been with NVC since Dec 30, 2010. I am getting really frustrated and it seems I am never going to get to Montreal for interview and medical let alone get to Arizona with my husband before our first wedding anniversary on June 18th. Sorry if I sound like a depressed pathetic women but in reality I AM a depressed pathetic women right now. LOL. I haven't seen my husband since I came home after Christmas which was Jan 4, 2011. Wow 4 months today since I have been kissed!!! I just realized that. LOL. I know each case is different and handled so but ours is a pretty straight forward CR1. We are older, no kids to take with us, both divorced, no criminal record and such and here we wait. Thanks for listening. I am really trying to stay focused and keep a sense of humour about all of this but damn it gets hard sometimes. Agree???

Nvc can be a pain in the ####### at times. Due to my rfe which really they didnt even need at the time , I lost a bunch of time. All my friends on here ended up interviewing months before me as I got stuck in the backlog from Montreal, took 4 months for me to just get my date. I understand your frustration and all I can say is hang in there and call to talk to a actual person daily :)

Have you tried webcam? I know nothing can replace being physically next to your loved one, but (in my opinion) seeing the person while talking to them on phone is much better than just talking. It is for me for sure.

Oh yes we have Skype. Thank God!!! But not being able to physically touch is hard. Times like these tho I think of my mum, who is 92. During WW2 my mum and dad were separated for 7 years and never saw each other once. My dad was stationed overseas. I asked her once how she knew who he was when he got off the train. She said she recognized him right away. And they only had letters which sometimes were months inbetween and were preread before handing out so couldn't talk too personal. At least we have letters, emails, phone calls and Skype.

welcome.

I would definitely start calling to speak to an actually person by Monday, It shouldn't take that long for them to say that they have received the "checklist" and then should only take a few days to "case complete". Your situation is a little bit different as they seem to have lost all your stuff, someone was slacking off somewhere.

Hope you get a case complete soon :)

I did call today. I was actually just phoning the recording line but a live person came on. She says they have received the stuff and it looks like everything is in now. they are reviewing and I should hear within the 20 days, or the end of this week, beginning of next. She can't see any reason why we wouldn;t get case complete soon!!!! She better be right

I'm so sorry for all this bs you're going through, I really hope you get through soon
