That's fantastic missleman! Hopefully I'm a week behind you. Wishing you clear sailing through the rest of this process.

Thank you. I wish you the best also..... :dancing:

Now I just need my attorney to forward me the invoice number.........

Hello All,

NVC received all our docs on 21st Sep and while we were hoping CC this week, received an email from NVC today stating ds260 is not submitted, we were shocked to see that as we had submitted our ds260 and received a confirmation mail too!

We called NVC and the person said it was not appearing I there system so we don't have to do anything they will take care of it. we called them again to know the status and this time they said they "Routed it to Supervisor" just today and it will take 6 weeks from today.

Now what does routed it to supervisor means????

Supervisor review........yep, 6 weeks......
