v4b

According to the gentleman I spoke to this evening, it's not inaccurate, everyone is just lying to me. The only thing I can take from that is that apparently he thinks VisaJourney is a giant conspiracy put onto the internet solely so people can lie to me?

Yes everyone made an account 9 months in advance, just to tease you today lol

V4b and Kels....Whts the status on ur case? Did u get any update? Hope will get CC soon..Good luck

Thanks! Good luck to you too

I called today, my docs haven't been reviewed either. The gentleman told me not to hang out with you guys at visajourney because that site is waaaaay inaccurate, according to him, lol.

where do I see the 3 N/A everyone is talking about here? I'm not sure which page it's on. thanks in advance!

1- Go to:

https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

2- Click

DS-260, Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application

3- Enter your case information

4- Count the number of N/A's you see. If you see 3 total N/A's (2 for the AOS table and 1 for the Applicant information table), then you have CC, the "PAID" under "Affidavit of support fee" will change to N/A's if you have CC.

If you don't see 3 N/A's, you can still call NVC and ask about the status of your case. I called today and complained to them.

She said I will receive an e-mail to correct that. Question: Can they let me bring the corrected AOS to the interview?

Sorry you got a checklist. I'm no expert, but I heard that everyone who uses assets to prove his AOS will get a checklist.

I would ask them if it's possible to bring the corrected AOS to the interview.

Just called NVC. My case was completed 2 hours ago.

Scan date 1/22

Congrats! I hope they assign the interview date quickly as well.

Ugh I should have known. So many "lost" documents I've read about on these message boards

They do this all the time, and they used to lose originals!

I would ask to speak to a supervisor, and ask the supervisor about a supervisor review, sorry I'm not the best to give advice, but I would speak to a supervisor.

If anyone else has any advice, please let us know.

Best of luck to you, please post back after you call.

If you look at the spreadsheet you can see that CCs beat Checklists somewhere between 2:1 to 3:1

The median time for a case to be reviewed is 63 days which means your file should be reviewed on Tuesday (yup next week).

Good luck.

Ariani I like how you're all about statistics now

I think this NVC experience is not bad after all. Thanks NVC for keeping us stuck 60 days in this mess!!! Now we know statistics :lol

I'm getting anxious because they scanned our IV/AOS package 12/01/15 and today is 12/03/15... I see people with scan dates of 3 days later getting approved.. why do they give packages priority dates if they don't do them in that order?

I know the feeling, I'm the same scan date. Yes it is frustrating that they give these priority dates and they don't follow them, but I think we're stuck in a slow queue. I would be happy if it takes 70 days with no checklist.

Hopefully good news will come tomorrow. Good luck!

Congrats!

I hope you never ever have to deal with USCIS/NVC/Embassy anymore.

Called NVC just for fun. Funniest conversation I've had in a while.

Me: Any news on an interview date yet?

NVC Rep: Nope, not yet. Sorry we're still waiting to schedule you.

Me: Okay, thanks. Oh, any chance you can tell me if they have completed scheduling the April interviews for Cairo yet?

NVC Rep: Sorry, I don't have that information. I can tell you however, we like to give people enough time to prepare for their interview so we try to give people at least 4 weeks notice. With that being said, don't expect an April interview because April is only a couple of weeks away and that wouldn't allow you enough time to prepare.

Me: Yes, you are correct, April 1st is only a couple of weeks away, but April 9th just so happens to be 4 weeks away, which would mean there is still plenty of time to schedule an April interview.

NVC Rep: Uhhhhhh... Well... We want to be sure to give people as much time as possible, 4 weeks is just the minimum, but we prefer to give more as courtesy to the beneficiary to prepare.

Me: Hahahahahahahaha! Uh... Okay... I don't know how forcing a husband and wife to be apart longer is courteous.

NVC Rep: (A moment of silence)

Me: Hello? Are you still there?

NVC Rep: Umm... Mam, it's to allow adequate time to complete the medical and such.

Me: Hahahaha!!! If my husband found out this moment his interview was tomorrow, he'd go to the doctors home, knock on his door to wake him up, and wave a little money in front of his face. He'd have his medical results in his hand and be on his way to Cairo within the hour. LMAO!

NVC Rep: Mam, is there anything else I can help you with?

Me: Hahahahaha! No. Thanks for the laugh though, I really needed it.

NCV Rep: (Click)

Wow! I wonder where they get their answers? Lol!

lol nice! That's how everyone should talk to NVC

I just learned how to calculate std deviations and run bell curves... if my calculations are correct 95% of cases will be completed within 2 std deviations of the mean which would be from 50-74 days.

That's nice

There are statistical tests to show how random the data is. Fun subject you should keep reading.

I think it's a checklist I'm afraid they want you to mail the copy and bring the original to the interview.

Congrats to all CC frds

Glad most of VJ's are getting CC within 60days..Someone got CC on 35thday ..Hope NVC is speeding up the process..

Vb4 U r CC is on the way!!! Good Luck

Thanks! You're is around the corner too, they seem to be much faster.

I'm gloomily expecting a checklist, at this rate. I'm at day 59 and they're telling me 'call back next week' and getting sarcastic with me when I point out that I know people with the 15th as a scan date who have CC.

I don't think it means it's a CC.

In your case, I think there's something not so smooth about EP (electronic processing), I think that's why.

When I called, the lady told me the same thing about being saturated and they're working on speeding up, and she said give us at least another week.

Congrats all the CC's!!!

But it's strange how they skipped a few 1/12 scan dates. I'm still waiting, called today and they said at least 60 days, I'm on day 59.

i am new on this site. just to let all the members my scan date is 1/12/15 and i called nvc today. my cc was yesterday 3/10/15. good luck to every one

Congrats! Did you see 3 n/a's?

I'm in that mode from the first day:)

Lol yeah but this is different, I guess I should call it "ultra-high frustration", you won't know it until you see people past your scan date getting CC's.

Congrats to those people btw!

Scan date 1/12 still waiting, I'm switching into frustration mode

Select only few , just enough to show them that you are constantly communicating just in case they'll ask. Select some call logs too , better to bring the latest but don't exceed like more than 10pages as I'm pretty sure they won't be reading it the whole interview. They will scrutinize you more than reading those chat logs, but I'm not discouraging you to bring some coz they might ask for it.

Thank you so much! That's what I will do, it makes sense, I don't want to show them a 1000 page novel lol.

how? usually best done with the civil docs submission packet into NVC.

why? gives the Vice-Consuls about 20 days prior to interview day to actually read this stuff.

Interview day hand-over, IMO, is too late, as the Vice-Consul has maybe 5 to 10 minutes to grant/deny a visa that day, no time to read your pile.

Thanks for the info, well it's too late for me to do that :\

How does one go about correcting an error

In the DS-260 ? Our visa interview has alresdy been scheduled

So you got your CC?

You have been added..

Have any cases been reviewed today?

Other than that entry which says "DELETE THIS ENTRY", I don't see anything.

I'm hoping today NVC focused on reviewing docs only, and tomorrow they will enter the results in their system. Or maybe n/a's will start popping up in the next couple of hours.

Good luck to everyone.

Or if you know a little French, you can get help from Mr. Google translate.

I know we should provide chat logs for the interview at the embassy, but our chat since September is 1000 pages long, and I still didn't count the chat before September, probably another 800 pages. Do we print every page and show the embassy at interview time? How did everyone else show chat logs?

This is for IR1/CR1 visa.

Can you please add me to the spreadsheet.....AOS Docs scan date was 1/5/15 and IV Docs scan date was 2/23/15. Thank you in advance.

You can actually add yourself! Inside the spreadsheet on the top there's a link that says "Add or update"

What was your scan date freshhairprince ?

Jan 2nd, 2015

Has anyone else gotten a CC today , we have a Scan date of 01/05 for a checklist

Nothing reported today, at least nothing today on this spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10PgA_IJw9TFvAjQGxJUNaQpD-fgwi6yh0pusO54oppo/edit#gid=0

The day is not over yet.

Hopefully you're next, today or early next week! Good luck!
