They say there is no birth certificate sent with the packet, which is not true, we sent it. :( But, our attorney sent it AGAIN.

Who sent the documents.... you or the attorney.... sometimes attorneys are the one who make the case suffer and slow.... that is the reason i did myself so i know what i dispatched....I know NVC loose document but it also depends how the documents were send and how well it was organized....Also is your birt certificate in English or not if not then this checklist must be for birth certificate with English translation.....

I agree 100% about attorneys...Good research on your part and you'll do better than any attorney.

Btw,the documents do not have to be in English.The instructions say to get translation when the documents are not in English OR the official language which the embassy handling the interview uses. For example my interview will be in Greece so docs in Greek are ok.That saved a lot of money.

Forgot to wish everyone a very Haapy New Year earlier. And a big congratulations to those of you that have gotten a CC in the last few days.

It's been 36 days and counting. No checklist looming as of yesterday, but I'm biting my nails seeing others have gotten one late in the game. I can't even focus on my trip to see my husband, worrying about this cc. I hope I don't get a checklist while on vacation. That would really suck!

I so wish this was done with already!

Congratulations again.... Can you please check your case at the CEAC VISA STATUS CHECK to see what it says?

https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

Actually I am asking every one with a CC to check there to verify what the status is.

No prob!I already did!It still says "At NVC",I did call and confirmed cc over the phone tho

.I'm guessing the status changes once the case leaves NVC or the interview is scheduled.It could also be that my cc is very recent and they haven't updated everything yet.

That's is what I thought, SoerenHelmer and I have spent lots of time putting together spreadsheets since July 2015 for Stockholm and Bogota, but became frustrated when we suspected that tool is not updated in real time, actually seems to be months behind.

Thanks for your feedback
