7th month at NVC. My heart breaks. Its our first anniversary tomorrow (December 2nd), Please guys pray for us. Waiting for AOS checklist to be reviewed. Scan date November 7th. Good luck to everyone!!

Congratulations :-)

Is NVC back to its normal processing times? I wonder, if it is.....Its good news for all of us. Did somebody else too get an email stating 2-4 weeks instead of 60 days???

That was my first thought as well.
Men usually live to SOLVE problems. It is very VERY frustrating for us to hear about something if we cannot take an active part in it's solution. If we can't do something about it, we do our very best to forget about it and pretend it doesn't exist. It's how we cope with the stress.
Women on the other hand tend to cope with stressful situations and unsolved problems by talking about them, thinking about them, and focusing on them. It's their natural way of coping with the stress.
With newlyweds, it just takes some time to learn each others boundaries on that. The man has to learn to grit his teeth, bite his tongue, and listen, just to listen, without any hope of a solution every being presented.
And the woman has to learn how much her hubby can listen to before he reaches saturation. It's a learning process.
Personal example: When I'm traveling for a few weeks at a time away from my wife, she needs to hear from me DAILY that I miss her, I'm thinking about her constantly, etc. - that's what she needs, and that's what I give her because I have learned it's what she needs. On the other hand, haha, my reality is, because I miss her and can't wait to see her again, I'm actually NOT thinking about her constantly. I do my best to forget about her during the day unless I actually have time to call her in that moment, since it's a problem i can't solve until my trip ends or i have time for a phone call. I love my wife, and I can't wait to get back to her. It's just the way each of us process the stress differently, and we're always learning more about our spouse

Thanks so much!!! I think they only started reviewing the packages together very recently, probably would have been the same wait a month ago either way. I'm just so grateful to have another milestone checked off and only a couple more to go.
Thanks so much!!! I think they reviewed both of my packages together, my AOS scan date was 7/21.
THANK YOU!!! We are both very excited about this awesome news.
Thanks so much!!!
Wanna hear something funny though? When Gus told me case complete, I just about did a cartwheel I was so excited. I wanted to shout it from the hilltops, I wanted to announce it to the world. And then I realized... 95% of the people I tell would be like, "Case complete... does that mean you are moving now?" No, not exactly, but still it is awesome news. So happy to be able to share it with people who can actually understand what it's all about!

Thanks to all for your kind words and congratulations. I hope all of yours come quickly.
I highly recommend escalating to a supervisor if you feel you are in the right. I got on the phone today and the operator read from the screen, I asked to speak to the same Supervisor I spoke to earlier in the week. She had my file on her desk, reviewed it, and pushed it through and marked it complete in the system when i was on the phone. Be patient, be professional, be kind but also be firm. It worked for me.

Here I am since my name is being mentioned a lot on this matter.
I have never heard of no interviews scheduled in December. This 2nd round anomaly is just that. Not all embassies do it. It's something that has started about June this year.
The rule of thumb I have seen is to get in the queue for the next months round of interviews one needs to have case complete by the 15th.
Some embassies have rolling scheduling as in Karenberna who just got case compete on 9/10 and interview date same day. One never knows.
All you can do is wait and hope for the best.

Congratulations for your AOS package... :-)

AOS was approved today with no checklist!! Woohoo!
I called because I got a false checklist to fill out the DS-260. We haven't done it yet because I was away for the weekend with no internet. But
I asked if the IV package had been reviewed yet because I thought it was weird that they only sent the list for the DS-260 and not for the IV docs if they hadn't reviewed the package. But no luck! The AOS is done and done!!! And the IV package... "60 days."

I am so sorry to hear about this. I feeling so bad for you. I pray for you that you get out of this hell ASAP!!

Oh My G - GUYS - GOOD NEWS FOR ALL OF US!!!
I don't know if this is 100 percent true but I just spoke with Sylvia (supervisor) she said that the new process do affect current packages. Once they get to one of your package, they are also pulling any other package you may have in the system to review them together. It seems to be faster. NOW LETS SEE IF THIS IS TRUE.....THIS WOULD BE AWESOME NEWS FOR ALL OF US!
Also, the date they are going by is whatever date is listed in that 60 day email they received.
IF THIS IS TRUE - OH GOD!!! Praying time....

Just to let you all know. We got our IV fee invoice yesterday through email. We submitted our form DS-261 on July 18th. Good luck to everyone waiting for IV fee.

My family says "I HAVE GONE CRAZY" and due to stress, I have gained weight. Moreover I can't even concentrate on my studies. Every Night is sooo long. I just keep speculating , making assumptions, what if I get IV fee bill on this and that day, how long its gonna take after that. Will I make it to December interviews. Ohhh no with this New NVC policy, it might be in Feb. From August I jumped to Sept then Oct, Nov and so on. Everyday I count 30 business days and 60 calendar days both lol yes I realise I am stuck in this NVC WORLD!!

Hey Dear Soloenta, couldn't find your previous post to quote as the thread moves sooooo fast!! Anyways I wish you good luck for your interview!! Cheers :-)

You have another fan here MONDAY...........

This is for you amanda if you are reading this-
Its very sad to know what you are going through. I know waiting for so long that too when it is not your mistake is way too hurting. To be honest, I was whining too much when people who were late filers got ahead of me but lately I realized "Nature does not hurry, everything is accomplished". How wrong I was. One will never get anything a minute before or a minute later than his/her actual time. Your time will come soon. Just abandon this suffering to God till then. Trust me, God is testing our patience. You are always in my prayers. God bless you and everyone out here who have been waiting sooooo long. Cheers!!! :-)

I'm sending positive vibes your way!

60 days may not be true for all cases cos I just received an email today to pay IV fee which today marks the 38th day from when they said they received my DS261.

Hi everyone! I just want to let you guys know, because people still send me personal messages about my email to my Senators (which is totally fine, happy to help in any way!!) I am going to take a break from VJ. I have gotten to the point where I can't be happy for others who got through USCIS in 2 weeks or who got their case set up at the NVC in three weeks. I hate to admit it, but its true. And to me, that means I need a break and an attitude adjustment. I am going to go spend a couple months with my husband and try and forget the NVC even exists.
I will check back in once and awhile, so keep sending me messages anyone who wants to. And of course, good luck to all

Same holds true for my husband. He is so patient and I am going crazy.
