Apparently NVC was just waiting for me to lose all hope, sit back and get comfortable before throwing us for a loop. Yesterday evening we received an email notification for a May 19 interview in Londo

Looks like our documents have been received at the embassy today, almost exactly three months from when NVC first received them. Not too bad! And only 24 days until the interview, so we're falling right in the middle of the 4-5 month duration from NOA2 that I was predicting. NVC is probably glad to be rid of me ^_^

when did you receive the interview appointment e-mail?

Please hit the Post button just once! :)NVC will receive your case in a week or two, and then you're looking at probably a month after that before you receive a case number and invoice identification number, so don't stress. You have some down time now; read the Wiki a few times and get ready for the next steps.

when did you receive the interview appointment e-mail?

I got the interview email on April 16 after an April 3 case complete. We missed the first round of scheduling at the beginning of the month but were lucky to sneak into a second.

Its at your discretion. This subject is covered 1000 times a day. Have you read the WIKI and have you read through some of the past posts?

I am happy for you !!! It must be a wonderful feeling just knowing you're in the home stretch. CONGRATS !

I have read the wiki that Saylin posted and I'm thankful for her and other people who have helped. But truth be told, I don't have the time read hundreds of pages. Besides, on the wiki it didn't say the 'risk' of sending the packet early. An option was just suggested what to do but not the risks.

If you are able to print out the cover sheet, I would go ahead and send it. It takes them about a week to scan it in and then another 2 weeks to review it. I paid both fees at the same time on a Saturday Evening. Mine cleared my bank the following Tuesday morning very early. It took another day for it to show paid. There is nothing set in stone. I have spent alot of time studying other timelines to get an idea when things should happen.

So, I've had good experiences both days I called the NVC this week (spoke to Sandy on Tuesday, Todd this morning), but sometimes I do wonder if they're being run by monkeys over there.

In a nutshell:

As my signature suggests, I received my EP acceptance email on 4/15 (responding to my original 3/23 email), and resent both the IV and AOS packages minutes later. As you may recall, I decided to test a theory: I sent the EP OPTIN email on 3/23, resent on 4/7 per an operators suggestion, and after both payments cleared I emailed the AOS package on 3/29, and the IV package on 4/1. The only time I ever received an autoreply was on 3/29 for the AOS package - never for the OPTIN, or for the three other emails containing the packages.

My DS-260 was accepted on 4/22, and a false checklist requesting both packages was received via email on 4/23 (which I then ignored, of course).

This morning, I was told that my IV package was under review, and that they received it on 4/22 (remember: I emailed it both on 4/1 and 4/15). Todd was concerned that it was the civil documents rather than the AOS, and advised me to email it once more to be certain it was received. Following his instruction, I did so immediately after I got off the phone (and received an autoreply).

Literally less than three seconds after I hit send (before the email had cleared my outbox), I receive an email responding to my 3/29 email that contained the AOS package (half a month before I received the EP acceptance) that they were now reviewing my AOS package.

I'm going to take this to mean that both packages are under review, and I should expect a case complete some time soon, but I really do hope it's before time slots for the June interviews are filled. :(
