so today (4 am my time) I called up NVC hoping that I'd maybe hear them say they have our case with them but just have to wait for the number... but.......... the lady said that the case will arrive in 5 WEEKS. .... FIVE WEEKS?

is this normal?

I just called and the NVC lady told me it can take up to 30 days. And then later she said 40. Sooooo somewhere around then But she also said sometimes it is much faster so to try back as often as I'd like.

I received my NOA2 Nov 24th so we can keep each other updated if you have any progress!! I am so ready to get going!

Do you remember her name? I have yet to speak with any polite women at NVC. I always get one with an attitude problem. I think her name starts with an A or something. I always get the same script saying it can take up to 42 days, however, the senators office was told 30 days when they sent an expedite request for me. I think we are at day 23 now.

It went from paid to N/A

What does that mean?

Congrats!

I'd call now and talk to a representative. They might confirm your CC!

Soloenta, I've seen one CC for Oct 14th checklist scanned...our turn is right on the corner my friend!!!

Santa is bringing it!

[Soloenta 2,218]

Are you 100% sure?? My husband called and talked to a manager and he said to call back in two weeks. But I guess he just knocked it out huh?

What do you mean? Your husband called and they didn't give him CC? If so call again I think they have a bunch of idiots there that just have no clue. If it changed from Paid to N/A you have your CC so he needs to call again and speak to another person right away.

Thank you, Soloenta, for creating a forum where we are free to be ourselves and not be bullied by certain Pharaoh "moderators" and their groupies!

Your very welcome but I have seen them come in here but don't understand why we are adults and are doing nothing wrong. But thank you very much, it has been my pleasure.

OMG what great news hehehe I hope no more checklists, gave them all they asked of me most of it twice. God willing sweetness soon it will be our turn to take a deep breath and rest just a little.

Hi all

What a week. One days notice for interview and then two days later Visa is in my hand. It is over. Thank you Sydney.

Words cannot express my thanks to all my Visa Journey friends. You have all been amazing. Whilst I may be finished with it all my thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you. Let's not get complacent just because I am done. A few weeks ago I was in your position.

Thank you Saylin for your constant support and advice and for donating so much of your time.

I will check back here to see how you are all going but for the next few days I need to concentrate on the million and one things I need to do to get myself, two children and two dogs ready to leave Australia in 13 days. Couldn't risk anything happening to the boys, Elvis and Casper so we are using a professional animal transportation firm. The kids and I - well we can just rough it!!

Love to you all.

So you're continuing the mad dash, I see. Those two weeks will be physically daunting, so please delegate most of the heavy lifting to that strapping boy of yours, or better yet, hired labour. Take care and pace yourselves.

[BRosa 170]

So my checklist was due to missing police reports (which i summit ORIGINALS). I spoke to someone and will be reviewed by a supervisor, which might take 42 days.

The other part is a tiny tine error on the I864 form and for missing current pay stubs or proof of current employment.

From other's experience after i summit do I start my 60 day again??? or does it take less time?? does anyone know??

[jcruzazucar 131]

Someone else checked the website and saw N/A!! Checklist scan date of 10/14....I really hope it's true that NVC is now working on the second week of October so we can have CC by next week!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOO nervous though and terrified of getting checklist. I hope I filled out everything correctly or else i won't have anyone else to blame but myself!

I can almost taste that CC!! Lol

I just had to make my way over to the rant thread. I just don't understand. How do they complete half of the second week of Oct and skip the rest? I am beyond frustrated. Everytime they complete a case with a date next to one of my scan dates they skip mine and jump to something else. I'm so pissed and broken.

I'm sorry I didn't get the name. She was quite polite I thought but its only my first time calling so I don't have much experience with the reps.

I am so sorry that you are going through this while waiting for your valid expedite request. Hang in there!! Must be right around the corner!!!

[TagTeam 61]

I have good news for my VJ family. We have our interview scheduled for Jan. 8. Now comes the tricky part of me trying to determine if I will be able to visit Nigeria support my hubby during this time. Solenta your CC Is coming soon. Im praying that you will get an Interview by Feb. at the latest. Thank you for your love and support.

[altito 63]

Congratulations...you have accomplish what we all dream of. ???

So happy you have your loved one in USA. I have a question regarding your expedite. You were able to expedite at NVC stage and how did u submit? I thought it could not be done when file was nvc. ????

Yes I was able to expedite it at NVC stage. I just sent an email requesting for the expeditious processing. i attached all the supporting documents that sustained my request. The embassy always has the last word on expedites.

[e&g12.05.13 176]

Sweetie how is papi doing? Praying he get's better with every day.

Hi my dear...he's doing fine, thanks for asking! He's changed his habits (no more beers, eating healthy) and already lost some weight (he's not obese, but has that belly you know?!)

It's been a upside down change for him, but I'm sure it was for better things to come! ))

[tammyttm 4]

Hi all! Meant to write sooner but this is the first I could get on. Woke up Monday morning to an email from NVC saying that they had received all documents necessary for processing DH's visa and to wait for further information about embassy. Quickly checked CEAC to see if changed to N/A but it hadn't, still said "paid". So then I called and after 20 attempts to get through then 30 minutes on hold, NVC confirmed case complete on 11/21! It took them a week and a half to inform me.

Then woke up today to a checklist. Oh my goodness my heart dropped and I started freaking out. THANK GOD in the checklist it repeated multiple times we dont have to send anything to NVC but dh will have to bring the checklist to the interview. It has to do with something stupid on the I864a.

Anyways, good news! We have a CC!!!

Last scan date (on aos checklist) 10/10

Much luck and hope to all of you! God bless your journey and make it quick!

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

Did you see a status update online on the USCIS site or did you just wait for the welcome letter from the NVC? It would be nice if I don't really have to wait for that long but at the same time relived as the AOS paperwork is scaring the bajeezus out of me! haha. So I have more time to mentally prepare I guess. I'll see this as a blessing in disguise then!

October 26 or 27 our case at USCIS updated online saying 'hey, you're approved.

October 31st it updated at USCIS saying 'hey, we shipped your case out today.'

I called NVC starting at the seven day mark and began calling every two days.

On November 18th, I think it was, an NVC rep told me that our case had arrived at NVC.

We still have no case number and no Welcome letter. I call twice a week now and every single rep says 42 days until we get a case number.
