IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsThe NVC October Moral Support/Ranting Thread

Hi sweetie

I think I would wait a couple of days. You never know they might review it and decide they do have what they need. I am so hesitant to give advice because NVC change their minds so how do we know what they are thinking or might decide.

I just wish there was somebody higher up the chain that could sort out this mess. Let's wait and see what happens in the next couple of days, just until the end of this week.

Lots of love
Xxx






   Oh thank you doll I'll wait until Friday at 9am and call see if she has anything for me.    I do to, if there isn't anyone higher there should be, ita would keep them in line.  So far I was told that days the supervisors , super is Sue and nights it's David but I haven't had any luck talking to either of them.   :) (L)

 

Hi all

Not around much for next four days. Son swimming at the State Championships here in Australia. He took Gold this morning in the 200m Butterfly. Shame Dad wasn't here to see it!

NVC seems to have slowed up a bit mid week. Come on guys lets get August wrapped up.

I am reading everything and am, of course, disgusted in what they are doing to our friend Soloenta.

Xx







  Darn I can imagine how much your husband wants to be there cause I would love to watch your son swim and OMG the Butterfly for me at least is the worst so difficult. 

  Can you record it for your husband?

 

   Thank you my friend your o kind to think of me. :) (L) (L)

I HATE THIS MESS

 

At home crying my pillows put! I work my butt of with two expedite in a row and now our case is at the embassy! My so called husband barely calls me and when I call him, the only thing he wants to know is how the paper going, did I check on it - barely care to ask how am I doing. I am broken! Sometimes, I get the feeling that I may be being used but I love him so much, I can't bare the thought of it.

 

  Oh my dear I'm so sorry your husband is being like this.  Could just be in his nature doesn't necessarily mean he isn't in love with you.   If he is the oldest son then

enough said, hate to say it but it's the mother' fault not his.   In my country the son's but specially the oldest is treated like a king and everything he does is perfect.  So tel me sweet heart is he the oldest? (L) (L)

Just checking in..Soloenta it might be late to tell you, but I agree with everyone whose advice is to wait until Friday. Just a couple days and if you still need to send anything, you overnight it. ;)
In the other thread there was 2 CC today, the most recent 8/18, sooo...let's wait.
Hubby and I are accepting the fact we'll have to wait until the latest scan date to have the packages revised. One more month and by the Love of God we'll be out of it.
For now I'm keeping myself busy with work and family, and husband is enjoying my absence to surf more than usual - lol
Hope you're all in a good state of mind and keep the faith in your own Gods to pass through it.
Sending love, prayers and warm thoughs to all of you!!!!




 

  No never to late and thank you and yes I'm going to wait until Friday morning even the Rep Candy who was very sweet and nice no pun intended ;) told me to wait until

Friday and to call if she hasn't contacted me by then.  God willing what I have ready to go is all they supposedly need.   It's all one big lie and I wish I could expose them and find justice in this mess.   But we shall see. :)

 

  Hahahaa well good your husband is Surfing great sport and keeps him busy and happy. :D  Will be praying NVC will get quicker as the seconds tick. :)

Warm and loving thoughts heading your way to.   Well, let's see I'm Catholic and my husband is Muslim so we do believe in the same God. :D Allah is God but in Arabic for those reading that might not know.   You would be surprised how many people think that they do not believe in the same God we do and Muslim's love the virgin Mary since she is their most important prophets mother  that being our Jesus. :)   Just some information for those that don't know it's always good to learn something new.  At least I love to .

You forgot the final touch... a green bug holding a cocktail umbrella.

ust got off the phone with NVC, so disappointing. The girl said they are reviewing both packages (IV and AOS checklist) together by last scan date, so that means we have to wait another 40 days to see if our IV will be accepted with no checklist, which means my PCC will be out of date by then. So pissed off. Contacting husbands congressman/senator tomorrow!

 

  :( I'm so very sorry, I wonder what is wrong with these people, call me paranoid but I think it's on done on purpose the whole thing with the backlog and the 60 days etc. 

 

   PCC  should be good or one year.  will it be a year by then?  If so Senator or not get a new one now save time.  I"ll be praying they can help you out.   (L)  (L)

Thank you dear :) . It will be a dream come true to have all of my loved ones in one continent ! Ugh that's another reason why I want a CC already to get over with the dreaded goodbyes ... Like you said bittersweet

 

    I don't even like my family taking me to the Airport when I know I'm coming back soon.  I don't even want to imagine.  Just keep telling yourself they will be with you soon. :)

 

Anyone with pets here? I'm planning to take my baby but it's a long flight like 13 hours :( I was wondering if anyone has experience with traveling with pets

I came back to the USA with the two Egyptian Maus we adopted and it was a 22 hour flight with lay over.  If you can buy a seat for the little one, one way flight shouldn't be to bad.  They told me my cats would get water etc but they didn't give them any.  If I were to do it again I Would make sure i had enough money to have a seat for them. :D.  But they made it fine just needed water right away. . :)

Inshalla soon you'll be together :) you are in my prayers and everyone who I struggling with nvc !
I keep looking at videos pictures etc just to relive the moments when we were together ... They are worth waiting for aren't they ;)
When the time comes for me to move and leave my family I know I will be so sad so I'm trying to enjoy my time with them :( it's going to be a big change ...

 

 

 

Insha'Allah  yes it is well worth it but painful until the times comes, thank you so much for your prayers you and the rest of the gang are in my prayers also.

 

I can imagine how bittersweet your leaving will be.  I Hope you can adjust well to the USA and I pray all our spouses can learn to enjoy and love it here.  Insha'Allah (L) (L)
 

Maybe when and if you become a US citizen you can bring them to live with you? :D (F)

  Yes I'm going to wait until Friday to see if Betsy calls why pay twice and confuse the doofus heads. :D  smiley-sport038.gif

 

Hang in there dear ... P.s I tell myself the same thing lol yep I'm going kookoo after 17 months of waiting and checklists .
In the mean time I'm watching my wedding video for the millionth time hehe .... :(

  I will my dear I'm trying my best, I have nothing to watch hahaa we both found out neither one of us wanted a big wedding just wanted it to be the two of us.  But I talk to my husband every day so that keeps us both  from going completely crazy. :D (L) (L)

No good news for today???? Anyone???

  Hi Hope dear, well you have to be grateful for everything I guess so yes, my father found his marriage certificate and not only that but the short and long version which is what these MoFo's are requesting. :D  and, and  my printer was out of ink I put some black ink in the cartridge but when I used it last it was very weak but it worked beautifully today thank God.   Was amazing so just waiting for Betsy to give me the green light and I"ll send it. Sent my Senator a letter today and a signed form for them to work on my behalf not that it will do any good.  Just want them to know the kind of lies and game these monsters play.  :D  (L)

I agree with romii soloenta. Wait till Tomm night. Otherwise overnight on the weekend. I can't believe this is actually happening to u, but they can torture us not kill us. And we r not gonna give up. We are praying for u here my dear friend (L)

    

 

   Ok then just got back from the post office dropping off my letter to my Senator even if she can't do a thing I have to try and I'll  WAIT FOR  Betsy. :) Ty so much!

   LOVE YOU Samreen!  (L) 

 

If you send it now its not going to prolong anything. The worst case is they ask you on friday to send something extra. I hope for good things to come to you soon.

  God bless you for your kind and thoughtful wishes and for your input also I greatly appreciate it from everyone. :) (L)

I just received my Welcome email/letter with Document Cover Sheet! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy & excited!! :)

 

AOS fee is still unavailable (hopefully it will be unlocked this week) and I can get the ball rolling and send out my documents by next wednesday :)

  Awww so very happy for you ty for sharing we need good news to. :)

 

Since Betsy said she will review it. I would wait for a couple of days. She will probably get back to you in a day or two and hopefully it'll be good news. Even if she still asks you to send it in, you can overnight it on Friday or even Saturday and it'll get there on the weekend and you will have a scan date of Monday.
I personally would wait. It's better to lose a couple of days now than to be placed on hold for 60 days after sending in the documents.

 Thank you so much for your input I think it's a good idea. :)

I'm coming back here everyday to get an update on your case Soloenta and it seems to get more and more insane as time goes on. Like how can NVC be in such a tizz over it, giving all sorts of different and conflicting info about your AOS when really it's black and white: either it's correct or isn't. How can they have different interpretations of its status? Even going so far as to say you had CC when you didn't. Truly baffling :(



 

   Awww thank you my friend and the only reason you haven't heard that some crazy woman in Ca went out on a killing spree is because of you and the rest of our friends on this thread,  but I must include Jsumners beautiful wife, Saylin and and angel from heaven her majesty Dewheels. :)  

 

  I agree and don't know what to make of NVC they just can't be that stupid. :(

 

   By the way OMG that picture you have on your profile, what a beautiful couple just beautiful!  t4582.gif

My thought and prayers are with you Soloenta. I'll be praying Betsy sort out this mess ASAP.

  Awww thank you precious!  Prayers are better than anything in this world.   I Hope Betsy such a cute name hahaa is true to her word.  I think I scared her to death. 

 

 

I live in a rainy city (Vancouver, Canada).   :wacko:  There are over 161 rainy days (mainly from Nov to Mar) per year.   :no:

Many Vancouverites (including myself) get depressed in winter.    :dead:   I do the following things in order to feel better:

 

- Drink coffee

- Exercise (yoga helps)

- Take a sauna

- Take vitamins and St. John's Wort

- Go outside (when it's not raining!)   :rofl:

- Stay away from negative people (especially drama queens!)   :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

Well, it's October!   :unsure:   It'll start raining!   :bonk:It's important to look after our mental health especially when we're applying for immigration.   :thumbs:

      :rofl:  :rofl: Leave it up to you to make me laugh haha ty.  But I hate summer it depresses me and I would love Canada and the UK because it rains so much I just love it can't get enough.  I would be that dog sitting in the rain. Poor baby :(  Oh and caffeine does nothing for me my body doesn't react to hit or I'd have so much energy I would be skinny. :(   OMG I be Betsy thought I was a drama Queen :( but it was a full blown nervous breakdown.  After the call I thought OMG Austin would be proud of me it this

was fake. :P

 

That is just great! Hopefully Betsy proves to be a better supervisor and a person with some sort of moral compass to make things better for you.

Keeping you in my prayers hun! :joy: :joy: :joy:

  Thank you so much I know prayers work there is no question in my mind.    Yes poor Betsy she is my third and I can understand her. :D Which is always a plus.  She asked

me If I wanted to call Octavio again hahaha OMG I started crying and blurted out waaaaaaaaaaaa but I can't understand a word he says!  :rofl:

Octavio not sure if I can believe him or not said what I have ready to send is what they need.  What do I do?  Send or wait?    Thank you in advance it's 1:56 pm her now I need to do this soon or just wait.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsThe NVC October Moral Support/Ranting Thread


I posted this on the other NVC October 2014 thread, but I guess this is more of a rant so it should go here!

I was approved September 20th. I know it hasn't been long, but I tried to call NVC yesterday - redialed about 60 times to get through, waited on hold 30 minutes, then my cellphone dropped the call. I gave up. Today I tried and got through the first time, waited on hold about 20 minutes, and they told me they haven't received it yet, to allow 5 weeks.

 

I recalled seeing a post once upon a time, suggesting calling USCIS, speaking to a supervisor, and getting the date the package was physically shipped to NVC. I tried that, the first USCIS agent I talked to told me to allow 90 days for NVC to receive my case. Then I waited about an hour an a half to talk to a supervisor, who told me to wait 30 days. The supervisor was pretty rude, he basically said not to bother calling USCIS again unless NVC hasn't received anything after the 30 days.

 

So is it 5 weeks, 90 days, or 30 days? I'm just going to try calling NVC once a week until I hear something.

  I'm so sorry USCIS is the worst I would say 30 days is most likely the most realistic but I would keep calling NVC  a land line would be better than a cell is you have one.  Some people use Skype or other services.  I don't trust cells for calls this important.  It has been taking a lot of time for everything but this part is short then what is to come.   I would call NVC on Wednesday and Friday every week.   You just never know when it will arrive then NVC scan it into their  system.  Please keep us posted. :) I'll be saying a prayer so your journey will be an easy and quick one. :)  Also graphics-welcome-010883.gif  To the thread.

 

 



I have nothing to rant about today, but came back to this thread few times since this morning looking for good news from Soloenta. Prayers for you, dear Soloenta. I know everything will work out at the end, and in the meantime, know you are in our hearts and minds.

 

  Thank you sweet heart it means the world to me and you and our friends here are in my heart and thoughts always.   I do have good news I hope Betsy is going to check into my files to make sure this doesn't happen again. We shall see.  

  My dear how is your sweet mother is she happy her interview will be soon?  (L)

   For those of us going through stress meaning still at NVC this is for us.   I know I had a nervous breakdown when talking to poor Betsy and I want everyone to know the

warning signs.  This is NOT an easy thing for me to admit, I'm usually a very strong person one people come to when things are bad, never thought in a million years this was possible. :(

 


5 Nervous Breakdown.
  1. crying easily, and seemingly endlessly, at the drop of a hat - whether you're male or female!  No need to be embarrassed.

  2. feeling guilty for all kinds of reasons: 'not pulling your weight', not being there for someone else, not being your 'normal' self, etc

  3. feeling alone - you're embarrassed and don't want to bother with anyone. You don't even recognize yourself.

  4. feeling joyless - increasingly withdrawing from all the things you would normally enjoy - no wonder with all those symptoms!

  5. being/feeling 'paranoid' - feeling that people are out to get you and single you out for every scrap of negativity.

 

It is not surprising that often a nervous or mental breakdown goes hand-in-hand with depression. 

Therefore I'm going to be straight with you: you're not going to get better by staying in bed, miserable and worried!

 

A nervous breakdown really means the point of exhaustion reached after a prolonged period of anxiety. The overwhelming anxiety, depression, and stress leads to a sense of overwhelm, helplessness, and utter exhaustion; a feeling of not being able to deal with life.  depressed.gif

 

   So if anyone feels this way, I think this thread helps  lot also it says to do thing with family and friends if possible.

      I have four of the five, so far not #2, so if you feel any of these they say you need to take action to relive these feelings.  One says to get out of the house which is a great idea if you  can do that.  Walk on the grass barefoot sounds a little ridiculous to me but if it works why not. :)   You don't have to have all of these symptoms to have or be close to a nervous breakdown.   It's a horrible feeling I pray I never have again.

This's is so awful Soloenta. I can't even imagine what you're going through.

I know it frustrating but you need to DEMAND a clear list of all of the "missing" info for your case so you don't have a bunch of separate packages being scanned in. And ask someone to explain why it took 4 MONTHS for you to learn that you needed more information about the AOS package?? I am so upset for you. Sending a HUGE hug ands lots of supportive energy!!!

 

   I was very lucky to get Betsy she is a compassionate supervisor and told me not to send anything until she gets back to me so this wont happen again.  I spoke to Candy just now,  who was very sweet and helpful said Betsy requested my file but it takes two days so to call on Friday, which or course I will do.  

 

   They can't tell me anything about the AOS they have no idea why this happened, I told Betsy thatt they told me Aug 10 our AOS were accepted and Sept 24 Th we had CC.   She didn't know what to say but, "OMG I'm sorry"  good that did me they wont even expedite our case due to these lies.  When I talk to her God willing Friday I will ask her if she can ask her supervisor due to the circumstances of all the blatant lies if my case can be rushed.   I know they wont but will be worth a try. :( 

 

Thank you my friend. (L)  (L)

yes i was and still am frustrated. a whole month gone down the drain, thanks to my lawyer after he made us get a checklist? now i will be calling him and the NVC everyday until they let me know if everything is going right. 

 

  No one seems to do their job anymore how sad. :(   (L) (L)

 

  Oh ok thank you very much then we truly have no recourse should have known that. (L)

 

A suggestion, since you will have to wait the sixty days, why not resubmit all the AoS's with transcripts and requested evidence so NVC can't say something else is missing and wrong and attach a NICE $#@&*% letter.

  I am going to resubmit the Supervisor said to wait until she calls  she wants to make sure there will be no surprises.  What do you mean with transcripts, request evidence from NVC they don't even call you back when they say they are and who do I request it from in the package I resubmit?

Soloenta: my heart is breaking for you. I wish I could find a way to make things better for you. It is just so horrible to see such a lovely person go through this nightmare. 

 

Stay strong, sweetie.  (L)

 

    Your so sweet Robisons, thank you I wont give up I just wonder if this is happening now then what will happen at the interview.  I hate having pictures taken of me so not many of them at all.  It worries me Egyptian Embassy makes NVC look like amateurs.  Just spoke to my husband he keeps me strong wish i could talk to him day and night.


 

The Ombudsman that is being referenced is for USCIS.  They have no jurisdiction as far as the NVC is concerned so writing them would be a waste of time.

Congrats to all Case Complete's this month!! ~ I hope the rest of us will be approved soon too! Good luck at your interviews ~

 

NVC received our case on 10/7 but weren't able to tell me that until today 10/17 over the phone. It took 18 days from NOA2. Based on some time lines it takes about 3 weeks to receive and 1 week to assign a case number. I hope this means we'll get a case number soon! God willing  :rolleyes:

 

On a side note, i'm finally seeing why people call everyday and more than once a day. It's insane how the answers from different reps can vary. I wonder, aren't they looking at the same database? Maybe some have more experience than others? Maybe it has to do with the way we phrase the questions? First time I called i said "i'm checking to see if my case has been received" The rep took tons of info and then said, no you have to wait 30 days after NOA2 before calling, and actually call USCIS first to find out if they mailed it. Second time i called i said "I'm calling to check if our case # has been assigned" (at this point i didn't even know if they had/hadn't received the case, the rep said "well we just received it on 10/7 so it should be about 45 days before you get the number" hahahaha.

 

Anywho, just 'ranting' i suppose.  :rolleyes:

It amazes me how selfish and petty people can be. If I were an NVC rep and someone called to complain that people after them were having their cases completed before them, I would tell them to take their tantrum elsewhere. I'm hoping NVC isn't phased by their whining -- if they are professional, it shouldn't change a thing. 

 

Next week is your week, Samreen... or even tonight! Who knows  :idea:

 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, Soloenta and msc13.  (F) I have a terrible feeling today that i'm going to receive a checklist.

I will make the big announcements once I get that email :) I haven't told any too ... Wait wait

 

  :D I'm honored and every time I see that weird cat face I just have to laugh. Hahaha what a face!  (L) (L)

 

   By the way the SOB's did scan my package today.  My parents marriage certificate is very old and it's not translated it's in Castellano/Spanish so I hope the fools accept it since they have a ton of people there that speak the language.

 

Nvc just worked on September one day I think :cry:

 

      Soon sweet heart soon, you will have your CC. :D  If they are on Sept 1 and my package was scanned in their system today I'm wondering if that will make a difference in how long it will take them to review my stuff?  Wondering if sending DR makes it less than 60 days also, I kind of remember someone posting that DR are reviewed quicker but just might be dreaming. :( (L)  (L) 

 

And that's the most selfish and stupid thing ever. Ppl have been complaining for months that how slow nvc has gotten and if they had taken a step to improve system people started complaining. I'm one of the few unfortunate ones who have been stuck in this process since June 2013 and it makes my blood boil to see people who started April May of this year and are whining and complaining. Well they should be happy then nvc listened to them and went back to their snail pace.

  I'm with you sister, I feel the exact same way.  REALLY PISSES ME OFF! :D  :pop: (L) (L)

 

 

Thank u sooooooo much honey really i wish v connected even after getting Visa
Yesterday my hubby talk to silvia she said give me one week almost ur case is completed u will recieved ur cc within one week InshaAllah
M keep praying for all of us ..

  Why not, you will be on the other side of the USA but that's why we have e-mails. ;)  Silvia the supervisor told your husband it would take a week to check your files or get your files and that you would have CC in a week?  If so I pray she is right. :)  No worries here I'll keep praying. 

 

   Anyone want me to pray for them please send me a message with your real name hahaha I feel odd praying for ID's hahaa :rofl: :rofl:  But will say a prayer in general also. :D  (L) (L)

Samreen, yes they lost it! If you look closely at the checklist, you will see it says they needs all parts from my AOS form, according to them I left the whole form blank....or didn't even send it...idk what they are thinking....which of course I did! I filled out the form, left nothing blank, put n/a in the fields that didn't apply to us(cause ppl were getting checklisted for that) and sent in my w2 transcripts.  I prepared the same for my co sponsor.  Now they say they have everything from my co sponsor but not from me.  When I prepared everything the same! Also if I may add , I am very OCD when it comes to our case and check everythinf like 20 times before sealing the envelope! So this AOS checklist makes no sense at all!

 

  Same with me, thank God I kept a hard copy and then my PC crashed and I lost everything but I Had a copy of it in my immigration folder.  Everything they said was not checked or typed in was.  They blatantly lied to me, it was all there.  It's all so very disheartening.  :( (L) (L)

Nvc was not that active today it seems :|

 

 

  Well the weekend is coming they have to wind down and rest since they hardly do anything during the week. :D (L) (L) SOB. :D

 

 

The quietest CC announcement ever!   :wow:   

 

 

You should receive a CC email in a week from your CC date.   :thumbs:   Fingers crossed!   :star:

  Can't wait hope she gets her letter before the week is up. :D  (L) (L)

 

 

 

 

I don't have a lawyer myself but I wouldn't even worry about them. As far as I understand they work for you. If they are going to find out if you logged on then they should be able to do a lot more for you than it sounds like they are currently doing. Its your case. Just my two cents. 

  I concur!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (L) (L)

So, I'm tired of waiting for my lawyers to respond to the email I sent two weeks ago, which is when they insisted I'd have my case complete and interview date. Checklist scanned 8/29. I called yesterday and no new info, just told to call back after oct 29. So I'd like to look for this elusive N/A instead of just waiting for an email. I assume I have to call at least once more to get my IIN (have my case complete from checklist letter)? Any way for my lawyers to tell I've logged in without asking them?

 

  There is no way your lawyer can tell if you logged in and I don't think they would tell him but not sure.  But why would you care you paid the lazy SOB and the lawyer is paid to do his job and part of that is respond to e-mails or call and keep you informed and he has not.  It's your right to log on, he's not paying you.   Screw your lawyer!  ;)

No they are just asking for ur transcripts or tax returns/w2 which I m sure u sent. Call a supervisor and they will look through ur file. They must have lost it.

Thank u sooooo much for quick response i do it now really its sooo pani one time u r sooo happy n another time u become so panic
Thank u sooooo much once again so nice of u

  I think they enjoy it :(

 

Thank u soooooo very much honey for ur wishes for ur suggestion really this kind words make me calm now thank u sooooo much
I will text these names to my hubby he will calling them m sooo tense i couldnt talk to them
Once again thank u soooo much
N Happy Aniversary
May ur process will completed soon n u cook for ur hubby soon as well :) ameen



  Awww thank you so very much your so sweet and kind. I'm happy I could help in some way no matter how small.  Good idea to have your husband call I wish I could have done that.   Know that you are in my prayers every day and specially on Sunday.  Thank God MoBar got his Visa's I can now stop praying for that part of it hahaaa hey my lit is getting LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG ;) t5063.gif

 

thanks for the support....I talked to a supervisor on my lunchbreak and I actually started crying on the phone...I just couldn't control myself.  Can't even remember her name....she sounded and old and had a deep voice....#######! God, im a wreck! She said she is going to find out the details about my case till next week, she filed a supervisor request , she promises it won't take longer than a week tops.  She says she believes me that I did send in my w2 and AOS form and promises to send another expedite request tomorrow if they don't respond. I found out on VJ facebook group that the same thing happened to another family last Thursday....lost their AOS form....Oh Lord help us they just do whatever they want.  I also wrote to my senator and am gonna call my congressman when I get home.

  Good so happy you got the process underway and I know how you feel I had a nervous breakdown because of the same thing and so much stress.  I think I know who your talking about actually, very nice lady. :D 

  It's distressing to know this travesty is becoming common place. :( t5063.gif

 

 

I'm so sorry about all that!!
I really hope your expedite gets approved. Have you received their email saying the request "it's under review"? If so, it means they already send to the embassy and now it only depends on their answer (which can take 2 days to a month, depending how busy is it). I've seen people receiving their request about a week to ten days after the request, so hopefully this will be your case.
Good luck with that and I hope things get better.

Thank you for the beautiful prayer, it's what we all need at this moment!! Amen to that :)



 

      Oh this was not my prayer but I agree it's a very beautiful one indeed.  We really need to pray more, I know God will hear our prayers. :)  t5063.gif

Sorry dear you're passing through it....but let's keep the hopes up that things WILL move faster from now on!! I have faith that this whole backlog thing is about to be over. I think you should listen to Austins advice and avoid some threads. I also can't believe when people complain SO MUCH after being SO BLESSED! So I just ignore and pray for them :)
Things will be solved for you dear in a blink of an eye. Trust!

Could anyone PLEASE help me!????!!?? NVC has been ruining my life for the last 7 days! On last Thursday  called and asked what's happening with my case, my scan date is august 19 for both packages, they said I received a checklist cause I didn't send in my husbands court certificate(which is true, it wasn't in the instructions on their site!) and I didn't send in my IRS tax transcripts and AOS form was incomplete.  Which is SOOO NOTTTT TRUE! Believee me! Friday I received an email that says the same, only the part where it says that the AOS form is incomplete is sooo confusing , I don't understand WHICH part of the AOS form is missing? The email has got me so confused, I don't know what they need. :( Also I call them again on that same day, last Friday, and the lady on the phone says that I did receive a checklist for my husbands court certificate but that my AOS package hasn't been reviewed yet and it's a FAKE checklist! On Tuesday I call again and they tell me the same thing, checklist for court certificate , but AOS package has no been reviewed yet.  I call yesterday and ask to speak to a supervisor, and she tells me that my AOS package HAS been reviewed last week and that I indeed DID receive a checklist for my AOS package.....she states that my irs transcrpits are missing and that my AOS form isn't completed properly.  I tell her that there is no way in HELL that my TAX transcripts are missing, cause I checked the packages like 20 times before sealing the envelope!!! She says she believes me! I ask her which part of the AOS form is completed incorrectly , she tells me she needs to access my case in order to tell me that and that it could take 30 days for her to give me that information!!!! WHAT? I need to wait 30 days to be able to send in another AOS form????!!! Because she needs A MONTH to tell me what's wrong with my form???????THIS IS RIDICILOUS? Could I post the email I received with the checklist, maybe someone here would be able to understand it and help me out further???

 

Also , I forgot to mention that we filed for an expedite request last Thursday, base on a natural disaster(we were already expedited at the USCIS stage)..How long does it usually take for an expedite request to be reviewed?..PEOPLE HELP PLEAS! IM SICK WITH WORRY! :(

 

 

   By the way,   graphics-welcome-010883.gif  to the thread, we will get you through this. :)  (L)

Sending much strenght to you dear Soloenta! <3

Some people told me I deserved to wait for a year and 5 months because I had already had so many visas! I don't get it, why would that make a difference? It shouldn't just like the immigrant spouses nationality shouldn't make a difference. Its all so very unfair.

Many times I also bit back tears of frustration when people who had NOA1 a year later than I were at the same stage as I, but still complaining how long it took. But everyone feels sad about the wait, even if it is considerably shorter than others. So I understand.

Hope you and everyone else in this thread get good news soon! We all deserve that!





  Awww thank you so very much Ellinora your so sweet and kind.

 

   Well that was just mean and spiteful of them to say that to you it doesn't make any sense.  One has nothing to do with the other.  You just have to wonder sometimes about some people.   Thank you my friend and many prayers going your way, so that you soon forget all of this madness. :) (L) (L)

 

Although I should be out of NVC long before that I am going to hang around to see you through this. Ought are.

  I hope so sweet heart but wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to come back.  But would be thrilled with the company. :D  (L) (L)

 

You are so great. I was telling my husband about your 18 pieces of luggage this morning. He thought you would need a minibus just to get to the airport.

I do hope you weren't really angry for me suggesting you may be able to help. You are just such a wealth of information on so many subjects and I mean that in a very positive way.

Happy packing.

You ladies never fail to put me on the spot.   :angry:

 

But since you did, here is a service provided by the reputable American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO)  http://ies.aacrao.org/ . Go to the pull down menu under Start Your Evaluation Application and choose Individual or Immigration. They evaluate foreign transcripts, both high school and college levels, for a reasonable fee. I hope that's what you're looking for Soloenta.

 

    So sorry about that MoBar but I do profusely appreciate your help . :) And yes I think that's it but not sure. I just remember someone saying the site evaluated

University degrees making it easier to find a job.   Thank you again and so sorry for the bother. (F) (L) (F)
