Patience wearing thin

Congratulations! I read the earlier posts and all I can say is ugh! I've said it before but I wouldn't wish this process on my enemies.

You're now at the point in the process within the guide where it says... "A few weeks after..."

In brief:

1. Wait for the email stating the NVC has received the case from USCIS. Don't wait more than about 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, start calling the NVC phone # daily. You might have to hangup and redial up to 80 times before they finally put you on hold. Don't give up.

2. Once you have the email with your NVC Case #, skip to the last step, i.e. send in your Supporting Docs and your AOS Docs as soon as possible. Don't do the steps serially like the NVC advises. Send in your docs ASAP. Later, as the online fee invoices and DS-260 online application become available, complete these steps. If you send in the Docs in parallel with the other steps, you might get a response (and hopefully case completed) in about 2 or 3 months. If you do them serially it could take 4+ months to get to case complete.

3. Once NVC completes the case, they send it to the consulate in your husband's home country. Then they'll assign you an interview date. Then if everything goes alright, they'll issue you a visa.

Good luck!

Thank you soo much!! ??
