The Wait is Killing Us...

[tm81663 10]

Its been 40 days since NVC received our IV Package. I know we're not at the 60 business day standard statement that NVC tells us ever week we call, but regardless, 60 days business days for each document (2.5 months) has been a tough wait. I know a lot of you are in the same boat, but I just needed to vent a bit. Been trying to be as patient as possible, trying to distract myself as much as possible from not being with my wife.

Best of luck to everyone on this forum going through the process. The support and advice I've gotten from here has been great, and I'm glad I could be part of this community.

the email from NVC said 60 days not 60 business days so lets hope its a little bit shorter, and keep praying not to get a checklist. best of luck and hang on

As u know everyone of us is in same boat...all i can say is patience is the key.

And have faith on god and prayers. My best wishes to you.

Cheer up and have faith one day everything is going to be fine

I just happen to call NVC since on the 24th it will be 30 days. Same old answer 60 days before review. And if you get a checklist additional 60 days that is unbelieveable. I thought as US citizen we were priority. Guess not! I wish govn't would pay close attention to these timeframe issues. Pray our attorney did all paper work correctly. I'm expecting and really want my husband here. Almost 9 months since I-130! Help us Lord!

Same here. Our 5-year anniversary is in 10 days, it looks like we're going to spend it apart. And we're in the middle of an international adoption which we started in March 2013 - and we're coming up to a deadline 11/2, which will cause us to suffer a very significant setback if we can't file paperwork by then (and the paperwork requires us to both be residents in the place where we are adopting, namely the US). I really feel like my life has been arbitrarily put on hold. And I'm quickly running out of savings. *SIGH*...

Hang in there. I know it's no consolation, but you're not the only one.

Totally understand. We are just about to send in our paperwork for the AOS and IV. I miss my wife and 9 month old son, but the process is the process. i am lucky in that they are only a 6 hour drive from me, but I still only get there once a month or so.

Good Luck to all, and the waiting will be worth it.

I always encourage everybody to write a very polite letter to their congressman/woman. Most all of this checking could be done by a post office worker. Considering the amount of downturn in USPS work and the increase in immigration why not send most of this to your local post office. Today the USPS does the bulk of the work for a passport and from what I can see 90% of the immigration work is making sure you have your documents in correct order and most likely entering a few things into a computer. There are many ways this situation could be accelerated, however congress really is not looking here. We are ALL in the same position ALL of us and as individuals we are a small voice, but together we are a large noise. Many of live for Skype and email and that is not family oriented as most of our congress claims to be so lets help them get motivated. Lets get on their radar and part of the upcoming immigration reform is to speed this process once and for all. While it might not help US who are here today, think of those that follow us in months and years to come.

God bless everybody and I wish all of you to be with your loved ones as soon as possible.

Our AOS checklist was approved on the 56th day after being scanned in, the IV packet on the 50th day. You are almost there! Maybe give it another 7-10 days.
