NVC Filers - May 2014

[London2Boston 59]

[sadia_sharmin 8]

still don't have interview date does it mean i won't have interview for Jun?

It is somewhat true actually.

If you are wet you are more susceptible to get cold (temperature wise) because your body's immune system weakens a little bit or things like your nose could try up. So while you don't magically get sick your defenses being done can make it easier to get a cold if you happen to touch or be near a sick person.

Also along with cold temperature the body can react with things like throat closing up or lymphatic system basically going defensive mode which can give you cold like symptoms that only last for a day.

They probably gave him antibiotics because most doctors in third world countries tend to just give antibiotics so if the disease does happen to be from a bacteria it would hopefully die and if its a virus then no bad really comes from it.

So please don't just flat out attack Mexico

Anyway came here to say that USPS Priority is awesome from NVC packages. Pretty much takes defacto 2 days to deliver to NVC (I shipped wed, arrived fri 11am, and 2nd packaged I shipped fri and arrived mon). trackings pretty good to about it,

its 5.60 per package and so far had never had issues with usps losing something and i guess if they did they would give me like 50 dollars, not that i want that since imagine if they lost a PCC, but still I guess it's a warranty.

express takes 1 day less and unless you do fedex overnight I dont really see a need to use those unless it's for a checklist and you are in a borderline where you could get a cc right before interviews are scheduled, but anyway just posting for everyone's benefit. Just plz dont use 49cent reg mail or let lawyers do that.

you don't catch a cold from having wet hair or going outside without a jacket. You catch a cold from having a low immunity . Nobody is bashing Mexico or Costa Rica. Just a comment on the things they still believe. And it doesn't get cold in Costa Rica. definitely not like Philadelphia.

It does matter when your file gets delivered because NVC processes mail by the date received. The sooner the better. Initial package or checklist responses. at least in my opinion. Every second counts.

My lawyer tried to tell me to bring the birth cert and police cert to his office this Thursday ... ummmmm Sorry Charlie.. The police cert isn't even required ( do some research... cuz I did) and I am not wasting 4 days just so you can send a document 2nd day air...(6 day loss total) No thanks.. I will take care of this. and actually.. I Fedex'd a package to NVC at 4:30 yesterday afternoon and it is already at Londonberry NH. It will be at the NVC this morning.. Hopefully this package won't even matter

So everyone is complaining that this thread is so quiet today so I thought I would make some noise..

FINALLY.... they accepted my corrected AOS and removed the Police certificate requirement. Now all I am waiting for is the supervisor to clear the birth cert.

I was told by the supervisor to call back Wednesday night... so now I wait... and for extra insurance.... a certified copy of the birth cert will be delivered tomorrow morning.

I'm so close I can taste it..

So how's that for some noise??????

THAT'S WHAT'S UP!!!

ALMOST THERE LADY! PLEASE SEND SOME GOOD VIBES DOWN 309!!! LOL

I was checking out the case complete/interview spread sheet yesterday... Unfortunately there aren't many Costa Rica files. Have you looked at the spreadsheet to try and get an idea of how fast an interview might be scheduled based on other filers?

I think ( maybe its just me) that the interview should be scheduled at the same time the case complete happens. Why does everything have to be such a friggin process? one step.... wait.... second step.... wait more.....checklist.... delay and more waiting.....case complete.... wait some more....

I also think that the NVC stage should be thrown out. Why can't all of this happen at the USCIS stage or just combine all of this mess?

^{FUN FACTS:}

^{"Don't go outside with a wet head or you'll catch your death of cold!" It's a warning that's been passed from one generation of parents to the next, along with the better-founded, "Don't go swimming right after you eat or you'll get a cramp!"}

^{If you're one of those moms (or dads) who still follows the wet head equals head cold line of reasoning, you're not alone. In one survey, 40 percent of mothers said they believed sending their kids out in the cold weather with a wet head would get them sick [source: Pediatrics].}

^{Who started this familiar maternal refrain? Part of the blame may rest with French chemist Louis Pasteur, who in 1878 exposed chickens to anthrax and then dipped their feet in icy water to see how it might affect their odds of catching the disease. The chickens developed anthrax and died. When he repeated the experiment but wrapped the exposed chickens in a warm blanket, they survived.}

^{Human studies in the early 20th century seemed to confirm Pasteur's research. A German scientist discovered during World War I that soldiers who slept in cold, wet trenches were four times more likely to get colds than those who rested in dry barracks [source: Zuger]. Somewhere along the line, a few mothers must have caught wind of these studies and began forbidding their children to step foot outside until their heads were bone-dry.}

^{It's also possible that people who believe that a wet head will lead to a cold have heard that a good percentage of the body's heat escapes through the head. That is a myth. In actuality, you lose just as much, if not more heat through a bare arm or leg as you do through your noggin.}

^{The idea that going out with a wet head will lead to a cold is, like so many of those other old warnings, just an old wives' tale. So, if going outside with a wet head won't give you a cold, what will? Read on to find out.}

Hello Soloenta! Thank you for your prayers. I am neither my case barely got transfered from Nebraska Service Center to NVC om 4/26/14 and arrived at NVC 4/11/14 I have not even been assigned a visa # yet or an IIN # I sent my I-130 3/20/13 so its been 14 months since I started this process.

OMG I wonder if it would be better if you asked it be transferred to the California Service Center it would be much faster. I was at the Nebraska hell hole and OMG no way you should wait any longer. Poor baby I feel for you and will keep you in my prayers. You should contact your Senator and have them investigate this all they do is sit on their behinds so please do have them work for you.
