For all those waiting for info from CSC - good news! We just received NAO2 on our CR! application. We received NAO1 on June 28 and were getting nervous after waiting over 5 months. So, keep the faith. CSC IS moving forward! We are so grateful for this site and all of the wonderful help it provides. We had considered an attorney before exploring all of the information here. VJ gave us the info needed and the confidence to do it ourselves. We know there are still a few critical steps ahead of us and some remaining risks. But we are so happy to have jumped the NAO2 hurdle. Thank you again!!!!

Hey - congratultions !!

You considering to OPT IN for NVC Electronic Processing? Shaves 2 to 5 months off the 'waiting time' between 'NVC-OUT' to 'GUZ IV open casefile' timeticks.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

-=-=-=-=-=R E A D ! ! !=-=-=-=-=-

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

We know there are still a few critical steps ahead of us

Check out my EP thread, as Darnell and Operator have already said, utilizing EP through the NVC will save you time.
