Interview was very easy, don't be worried, although that's easier said than done!  I took so much evidence, photos, bank statements, things that my son had done at school...  They didn't ask to see anything, just got asked a couple of questions regarding my previous green card abandonment.  We have been married for 12 years this Sept so I guess that's all the evidence needed, I don't know.....  But I would still take all that you have got cause it's sods law they will ask for things if you don't take them with you!

Wow, CONGRATULATIONS.  Didn't take long for you to get the interview date.

Recieved interview appointment this morning for March 28th @ 10.30am!!
 

Hi everyone here today start schedule interviews mine will be March 3rd bogota Colombia at 9 am case complete Jan 12

CONGRATULATIONS TO aidensbubba for a case complete at the NVC!!!  

I seems that none of the reps truly know what's going on. I feel at times they just make up information as they go. Since being on this thread since December (I know it's not that long), I've read a number of times people were given contradicting information over and over again. 
I don't know what has truly happened with NVC, it seems like only mid year last year people were flying through and getting CC's fast, not taking 8-10-12+ weeks to get their CC. 
 
For myself I have no optimism that our case will be complete within the 6 week time frame, I have mentally prepared myself for the longest wait time, it's the only thing that I believe will keep me sane at this point. I never expected that the problems with the NVC would become so colossal. I had a terrible experience during the first stage with USCIS, and was told that the NVC stage is much faster and 'easier', if done right. But I've realized to not have any expectations whatsoever. 
 
I pray for all of you who are still waiting for CC and interview dates that you will all have success and receive your CC and interview date soon. I truly feel for you all and hope that you are all reunited with your loved ones. 

I called on monday and I asked the guy when it'll get solved.. the guy looks at the dates, original scan date 09/22, 2nd scan date 11/25, supervisor review 01/06 and tells me they have 6 weeks for the supervisor review to be complete.  I ask what happens if it's not done by then and he's all "what, no, i have never seen one take that long". I follow up with "well, your website says 2-4 weeks till the process is complete, you guys say 6 weeks initially, then 6 more weeks for supervisor review, it's now in week 10, so you have less than 2 weeks to finish it... so once again, what happens when the 6 weeks of supervisor review are up?"  He was dumbfounded.  
 
I have never encountered this level of incompetence in the private sector... At this point I just hope she'll get her ssn by April 15th so I wont have to file a tax extension with the IRS.  Although I wouldn't mind putting down a reason for the extension "I'm waiting on some lazy incompetent federal government workers who are taking over a year to do their job..."

So....... still no movement...30 minutes on hold.... to get nothing.....
 
Scan date : 11/28
Sup Review: 1/18
Document review: 1/18
 
I complained to the person this time:  its only 3 pages, how long could it possibly take to review 3 pages.
 
NVC:  "She doesn't know and cannot know when the review will be completed"
 
Guess my frustration is getting the better of me so I said " This process is now coming up on 500 days for me - thats a really long time to be waiting" ....
 
NVC:  she said I'm sorry sir, we are the only NVC in the world"
 
I said " I know its not your problem, but, this process used to be MUCH faster before it was centralized"  - she was sort of getting annoyed.... So I said thank you and ended the call.
 
But seriously..... these people should live 500 days without their loved ones 
 
 

10 weeks at nvc and still nothing and no cc
Each time i call i get the same that it's still not been looked at yet blah blah blah 
Scan date is 11/22
 
Hoping this week will be it, but i think that every week and still nothing 

Thanks  - when I spoke to the lawyer, he did say that I could sue the government, but, it would cost over $10,000 and even if I won they wouldn't pay my fees and would still take their time to complete the case.. meaning don't bother.  That was the best advice a lawyer could offer. fun!  oh well, I know it will be over soon - just wish it really was FIFO.  Seeing cases complete in 1/3 or less my time with really short relationships really irks me.
 

Congratulations!!
Hope ours is cc soon, am getting down about it all now... 

Oh no i didn't mean it like that, was just comparing to what it was and what is it now, which is rubbish!! 

Oh no i didn't mean it like that, was just comparing to what it was and what is it now, which is rubbish!! 

It may not help any cases move faster BUT I know from my friends in Japan that did this process prior to 2011 that it used to take from 6 weeks up to 4 months for the ENTIRE process to complete.  Of course this information is limited to Japan only but when I know it used to take 4 months and now it takes 15+ months I'm allowed to be frustrated.
 
 

It is hard to deal with, my husband and I have been seperated for nearly 3 years now, did see him and our eldest son last year for 2 weeks but yeah it sucks!
Keep fingers and everything crossed we all get cc soon!
Just can't wait until the 4 of us are back together as a family again...

awww congratulations ?

I know I have to call nvc tomorrow, but i am terrified of doing so because i'm not sure i wanna hear what excuse/bs they have to tell me!!
I'd rather go to the dentist and have a tooth pulled!!
 

Thanks onek!
Lets hope so, any day now!

Just an update....
Paid AOS fee at the weekend, that is now showing as paid today, woke up this morning with an email from nvc with instructions to pay the IV fee, my hubby will do that today, and to now send in the paperwork package, things are moving along nicely, i know a lot of you are desperate for nvc to move along quicker, but they are getting things done and so far we are fairly happy with their progress, they have a lot of cases to deal with each day and i for one give them a thumbs up for all their hard work in getting me closer to being back with my hubby and son and for us to be a family once again!
