Him&I

Oh noooo! My heart is in pain reading this. I'm so sorry. Please let me know if i can do ANYTHING to help.

That's also what i thought, but Adam, an NVC rep explained to me that when a case is complete at the NVC, the embassy is notified and docs are sent over to them. Embassy then collects those docs and assigns then interview dates in the order they were received. This is only done during the 2nd week of the month, at least at the Yaoundé embassy. When a date is assigned, the embassy communicates with the NVC who then informs us through P4.
That's my understanding of the process, it might be variant depending on different embassies or consulates.
I hope this doesn't make it even more confusing for you...

I officiallly belong to this thread now! I got my 3 N/A s today. Ooooh what a relieve it is...

It wasn't my intention to show any type of condescendencein my response. I apologize for whatever i said that made you feel that way. We are all here to learn from and help each other. I don't think there is any reason why anyone would feel superior to others on this forum. I know i certainly don't feel that way and i dont intent to make anyone feel that way either.
Cheers!

Really glad you got your CC. Pls allow me to enjoy this great moment of happiness with you.
Cheers!

Thank you for the warm welcome and your comforting words. I'm glad to be part of such a wonderful family.
Now, let's keep counting them CCs...

First post here... couldn't resist the urge to celebrate with everyone getting those CC. I have been waiting for my turn in silence and prayers. My scan date 10/24 and my heart is has been beating real fast since this morning. I hope I'll get to rejoice soon, but until then i'm celebrating your CCs with you. Congrats everyone and thank you for your sharing your experiences by commenting/answering/encouraging others. The impact of your participation on this forum goes farther than you think.
Thank you!

Just when i thought it was all about to end... I find myself browsing through the posts on this forum at 2 a.m. with absolutely zero sleep in my system; and then i realized i'm not the only one, i'm not alone.
My husband and i met in HS. We started dating and got engaged right after i graduated(he graduated 3yrs before i did). Then i got a scolarship to study in the U.S. That's how it all started, 7 years ago.
During the 1st 6 years of being away from each other, we were unable to meet due to some details that i'd rather not get into. And then early this year, we finally met and got married. Aww, it was the sweetest moment of my life. I got back to the U.S. thinking this is it!...i'm getting done with this long distance, long wait, horrible seperation we're going through by filling for him. Little did i know that we were indeed starting another chapter that would bring even more distress and sorrow to our relationship and now marriage.
I filled form I130 and got approved in less than 2 months. We were thrilled! We started celebrating with family and friends who were so relevead from the pain they felt going through this with us since it first started. I even started making plans in preparation to the party i was going to throw to introduce him to my friends here in the U.S. (now, i know you are probably laughing because having gone through this process you would know how pathetic i felt when i realized i was only 1/4th through the process of getting him over to the U.S.) Anyways, that's when i found out about the NVC.
I first recognized this stage was going to be hell when USCIS said they sent my case over to NVC and it took about a month for NVC to acknowledge that my file was sitting somewhere on its premises. And then when they found it, it took them another month to register it in their system. I didn't really care while all that was happening, because i was busy going through the citizenship application and process. Once i became a citizen, i sent a letter to NVC kindly asking them to upgrade my petition to reflect the recent change in my U.S. status. This upgrade took 3 good months to happen - exactly 89 days. And then came the day when i thought finally, this is the end...nothing else can happen that will create so much stress in my life; this was the day i received the notice that says the NVC received you visa application and will work with you to complete your relative's case and schedule their interview. I immediately jumped on the computer and filled out ds260, i later paid my AOS fee, printed the receipt and mailed my the documents i had been preparing for months (AOS and IV packages). Then i get an email a couple days later saying it will take AT LEAST 60 days for them to review the documents and get back to me. I thought it was a mistake at first because it stated 2-4 weeks on the CEAC webpage, so i called the NVC to inquire about it and they started singing the song to me (i swear it sounded and still sounds something like "oooh 60 days, lalala 60 days, aaaawoooouh 60 days...")
Today, we are 11 days away from the 60 days and boy, considering how far we've come, i know there should be some kind of joy or relief knowing that they will soon review my packages. But no, what i feel is rather a feeling of disgust, one that i wish i could accurately describe. The thought of possibly getting a checklist and having to wait another 60 days terrifies me. I am anxious, scared, helpless, hopeless, and everything else that goes in the same line.
And i sit in front of the computer at 2 a.m. on a fine Saturday morning, wondering how the hell am i living this nightmare without ever even falling asleep...
Sorry for the lengthy post, i find it easier these days to write than to cry.

We have the same scan date 10/24. I'll be hung to your neck, not literally, but like for real. Lol i can't wait to find out. The thought of possibly getting a checklist kills me inside. Idk what i'd do with myself if i have one. Hubby and i have been praying on skype like a pastor and a dedicated church member for weeks now that we don't get one.
Ugh! Monday won't come soon enough. Is NVC working on Saturdays to reduce their backlog?

I will be sure to post with updates on my case from now on. The most difficult to do is that first post i think ?. I am also given different scan dates when i call,10/24 and 10/27. I'm sticking to the first one cos it sounds better lol. Anyways, i'm glad i decided to start posting. Something a little therapeutic about doing so... cheers!
