Add me to the "got the email" list and the "date of docs received doesn't match what I was told on the phone" list.

Scan date July 8 (aos)

Iv packet to arrive this thursday. So sad the 60 days will apply to it, too. Although I am not away from my spouse like so many of you, I miss America very much, and am dismayed at another Christmas in a land that's never felt like a real home.

SO I was reading that the USCIS is approving some petitions in a months time. That is probably one of the reason the NVC is flooded with new approvals....

This is so depressing :( I was in my bed all weekend, I could not step out......I want to kill myself, this just isn't fair :( damn Obama and his DACA amnesty.

I am not sure how you can be so optimistic. Considering the countries and religions of our spouses (my wife is a Muslim and I am not) we're probably going to get AP too. I don't know what to do. I feel like death is the only way out :( This country is so cruel.

Dude? You may need some professional help. Seriously. Go see a counselor or other professional if you are seriously feeling this way. This is not the first time you have had extreme comments on this board. I am not trying to be rude or mean, but rather suggest that this may be helpful for you personally. You greatly concern me.

My other suggestion is to try and be more active. I play guitar. I go to the gym. I am learning my fourth language. I am studying for my fourth certification. In addition to working 10 to 12 hours a day. Idol hands are the devils workshop. Laying in bed for an entire weekend? Not acceptable. Get off your butt and take control of your life instead of letting this process take control of you (some tough love there Dude). It is not how high you go in life, but how far you have come. You have come a long way, dont quit before the finish line.

People are not reading previous posts. 60 calendar days from the date on your letter. I have been told this twice by NVC on Friday and Monday.

I was told that a few times back in April, then told by a supervisor that it is ALWAYS business days. They don't count the weekends or holidays. I would bet the phone operators have no clue why business days and calendars days even make a difference. ( also told that by the USCIS because I called about the 60 day notices I received... also told it was business days... and told business days by Senator Toomey's office)

When you complain to the phone operator, more than likely, they hang up with you and forget you even said anything. They are in a different building than the actually processors and they rarely even communicate. I have asked the phone operators to add notes from my phone call so the processor can see... and was told " WE DON'T DO THAT" I am guessing they have ZERO contact.

Hi blueberry

Thanks for that. Yes it absolutely stinks doesn't it. You know the worst thing is it just never leaves your mind. It is the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing on my mind before I go to bed. I just cannot wait to hear those magic words -Case Complete. I have to work tomorrow so I will call on Thursday.

I know how you feel. I thought I was coping well and didn't realize how stressed I was until my wife confessed that she was seriously concerned and was greatly relieved at how my mood suddenly improved after we got Case Complete. Talk to your kids and make sure they understand this is only temporary. They might be too confused and stressed themselves to open up to you.

I believe that is relevant specifically to the 30 day processing time. With this new letter they are saying it is calendar days. Why the discrepancy? I don't know. I am just reporting what I have been told, now three times. By two operators and a supervisor I just got a return call from. I have been given a date verbally on the phone, which was 60 calendar days from the date on the letter. Believe what you like, I will do the same. Actually? I think it will come before that.

I am with you on this comment. It is easy to see why this part of the process makes you manic though. Any email from the NVC is going to be positive or negative to your entire day. If you get case complete, it will be a day of bliss, if you get a checklist you are going back at least 2 months, maybe longer with the new processing times. Those sort of ups and downs do not lead to good mental health. Although I will confess that I feel like it is so close which is making me worse.

Chin up, hope to see good news for you soon! :)

P.S I have two pips under my avy now what does that mean? I guess I am working on my post count?

I have been in this process MUCH longer than you and I have heard it all. ( ask anyone who has been in the game along with me) Every single time they were blowing smoke just to buy time....

Just reporting what I am being told Tico, I am sorry your USCIS trip was so long and overall experience so negative. Sure it has been longer than any of us originally estimated, but in reality what can you truly do about it? Honestly, sitting around moaning and groaning may help some people, but i have found trying to be positive works for me, I try and see the glass half full instead of half empty. And in my case, right about now? I am seeing the glass about 70% full.

Sure I wanted my wife here before our first anniversary in 26 days. Sure I wanted her here before her birthday and Halloween. I am happy if she is here before Thanksgiving. I am happy if she is here before Christmas. I am happy when she gets here, no matter what day that may be. I go see her every two months and we are non stop via whatsapp and every night via video. Sure it sucks sometimes, but guess what? Just get a little sugar and some water and we can sweeten those lemons right up. Think positive Tico because in the end It all works out...

Smile :)

Its a beautiful day in Philly, try to enjoy the day...because you are only given so many. Trust me, it could be a hell of a lot worse.

OK, just trying to throw a little reality in your world of Unicorns and sparkles. Sometimes its better to look at the real picture than hope for something totally out of the realm of truth. GOOD LUCK...

I was just throwing my experience out there. It may or may not apply. Take it however you want or anyone else reading this.. The point is... THEY LIE... They lied before and they lie now.

I went through this back in 2008 and 2013. Both times were EXACTLY the same.. lies lies lies.

I wrote N/A on EVERYTHING that had a space. We got a checklist because we did not n/a under the line 2nd or 3rd most recent tax year.

Once we resent it loaded with N/A is all blank spaces it seemed to be fine.

Good luck.

That's terrible that they checklisted you for that and how come you forgot to put N/A under that section?
