They should let people bring their checklist to the interview if it's a minor issue like not writing n/a in the residential address lines :( :(

Why must they drag it out for such a minor, teensy weensy detail! :cry: :clock:

Oh I agree 100%!

 

 

If only I had known that I'd be going through this process, I would have seriously considered applying at NVC. :rofl:


Btw you should call back and be like this rep earlier told me there was an update on my case and then the call dropped, can you please tell me what it is?
At first they denied reviewing my papers too, I called back and said the rep said I had an update and then the second rep just gave away all the details! Try it seriously :lol:



:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:  Your a sly genius!  Hahahahah

 

CONGRAAAATS to the CCs and the Visa aproval!
I'll be a little off this week 'coz I'll be heading to Sao Paulo.
But I'm sending great thought to all of you, my dear journey brothers and sisters!
Keep the positive thoughts and the faith, soon this will all be in the past =))
:goofy: :energy: :D



OMG Sao Paulo your so lucky. ;( Waaaaaaaaaaaa I wana goooooooooooo hehehee safe trip :) (L)

Just spoke with NVC rep. {I care less about her name} she gave me the usual BS 60days quote. Asked her what date they are working on, she said she doesn't have access to that info, told me to call back September 30. SMH for NVC

OMG what the hell are they waiting for?  I wish you could have spoken to a supervisor. :(  SOB's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (L) (L)

 

Pays to stay on top of NVC by phone...

 

Case number assigned yesterday, and operator rudely told hubby to call back in 4 weeks for IIN.

 

Ha! Called and got it today.

 

Choice of agent  - Done!!

 

Now we'll see if NVC is really speeding up or no!!

  You can complain about the rude ones information on the first part of my signature.   So happy you called back, they are a bunch of idiots can't wait to never hear NVC again! (L)

 

Where do we check N/A for Case Complete.
 
Which link from https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/
 
 
Fee payment 
 
Or
 
DS-260, Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application








Try either one of these, I use the first one.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong. :D  or https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx not sure if they both are interchangeable. (L)  

 

The operator I spoke with few minutes ago was so rude too. Told me the same old story of 60days to get my last document reviewed. As we were about to end the conversation, she made jest of me, she laughed, said something I didn't hear and then said CALL BACK SEPTEMBER 30 and then dropped the call, she's really pathetic, I guess she was making fun of me.

I know my document will be reviewed today or latest next week. Can't wait to get done with this BS from NVC.

**Thats the reason why my hubby hates calling NVC, most times am the one that usually do the calling**



  I would complain about here, wonder if they are so nasty because they lost the contract?  Still the company should care. (L)

 

 

I dont understand why fiancees get to skip nvc! ?? its like theyre letting 2 people who are nothing yet be together alot faster than families...husband and wife, kids etc... ??

 Exactly and you will go crazy trying to make any sense of how and why they do the things they do.  It's just not logical. :(

**Octavio even called to give us the good news but hubby wasn't around to answer so he left a voice mail, so sweet of him**

Hi,
I am so excited. Case Complete as of today. It seems like EP worked for us. We had scan dates of AUG 6 and Sept 4. They did them all together. I had heard of one case where that happened but didn't expect it.

Sooooo Happy.

We have been very lucky to have a rather short time for our visa processing (sent to California and EP processed together). I know that many of you have been waiting for a very long time. I am so grateful for all of your help and kindness. Thank you and God bless you as your journey continues. I will continue to spend time here cheering you on.




 

      WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CONGRATULATIONS SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOU.  :) God bless you!

Does anybody know why everything is coming up in bold now. I haven't touched my settings at all.

  Wasn't me it always shows up bold for me don't know why. 

 



It is so very sad that a citizen of the country that is a pillar for equality, diversity, and democracy would even think this way. But to be quite open with all of you on VJ, the same thought has passed through my mind. Yes, this is what USCIS and NVC reduced us to, paranoid folk, some of us married yet living alone, some of us unable to enjoy the warmth a family holiday brings, because we carry the pain of a mother who is old, alone, across seven seas and eight lands.

  You are so much in my prayers along with your beloved mother, this is just a travesty that I hope is fixed very soon.  God willing an with many prayers going your way. t4582.gif

   :( I'm already there! 

 

Lol yeah it seems that this quote fits perfectly

  Hahaha ty  :thumbs:

 

Phew atleast I saw one case complete on fb with aug 6 scan date. How I wish they had just some sense and put up and seperate department and queue for checklist. This is the retardest system I have ever came across with! SMH

Am so sorry my dear friend, I wish there's something we can do to put a stop to this nightmare but obvious its only God that can intervene for us. When I called around 10am, I asked for Silvia and the rep put me on hold, the rep relate Silvia's message to me on the phone that Silvia said its Octavio that is in-charge of my case file, I guess that was why she didn't want to speak with me directly because she's not in-charge of my case file.

I think you should call early on Monday morning, I guess she'll want to speak with you directly since she's in charge of your case file. God will surly see us thru this NVC madness.

 

  Thank you so much my friend and I will call on Monday for sure, God willing all will go well.   Yes I think they can't take the files given to another supervisor but Octavio is a good one so we are both lucky there. :)    (L) (L)

 

  

    Forgive me everyone for not Multi Quoting I just don't feel like it.  Sorry.

Yup. They're on the list.

 

Cross your fingers. I just spoke to a producer at MSNBC (Rachel Maddow Show) and pitched a story to her about the delays. She said she couldn't promise anything, but if they didn't run with it she would pitch it to other shows.

 

 

 

  WOW well bless your heart thank you so much no matter what happens.   I think the whole bunch of Democratic rats (I'm a Dem :( ) are all to blame, wont even comment on the Republicans worthless bunch of idiots.   I'm also very concerned with the power given the counlors at the Embassies, they hold our life and future in their hands. :(   (L) (L)

Well, the facebook page has deleted the comments few VJers posted minutes ago. It says they are wrapping up third month of their contract for visa support services for the department of state: do you think change of companies is what has caused our delay? I have been at NVC since April and still no end in sight. So it makes me feel that Serco (the previous company) didnt wanna touch my case, because they already knew they dont have the contract and timely processing didnt matter to them anymore. Then FCi Federal took over and they didnt know what to do with my case- being new at the job and learning curve, etc... What do yall think?




  I'm clueless I can't think anymore to be honest, but I can say that a lot if not all of the same reps are still there with some new ones added in.  Sometimes a company will hire from the there to avoid gaps but who really knows. :(

Awesome! I love the other post--should we use the other email? lol

 

YES LET'S ALL EMAIL humancapital@fcifederal.com with our concerns. Let's have this email address on the wiki for NVC!

 

Another post just got up and I got the screen shot of that as well. I'll watch this afternoon to see what happens, how long they last.

 

I repeat: it is time to get PISSED OFF.

 

I'm gay and I came out during the early days of the AIDS crisis. I came out with a vengeance, as they said at the time, getting active in the fight against AIDS right away. I was active in ACT UP. If you don't know, it stands for the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power. And they did. They were vilified by many for direct action and anger, but they made permanent changes among other things to the FDA approval process for new drugs that have probably saved hundreds of thousands of lives over the years since. But what they taught us was that if no one cares, which at the time they didn't--Reagan was directly complicit in the murder of many gay men by his inaction--you must ACT UP.

 

Does anyone really feel like we are not justified in not getting angry about how we and our families are being treated by our own government?

 

Now someone come up with an acronym as catchy as ACT UP for us.

 

 

 

 

    Thank you and wow you are great at this sort of thing and I'm proud of you!  But explain to me please about the e-mail, I'll come out and say it I'm paranoid this process has made me so and I don't want to do anything they can use against us since my husband being Muslim is a mountain we have to try to get over to begin with.   Who does this e-mail go to and what can they do if anything?  Can there be repercussion due to contacting them?  Thank you in advance. :) (L) (L)

    Ok done and I have a screen shot of it when your ready.  Below is my post in case they remove it.

 

    Hello, I have been at NVC for ever and was trapped at USCIS for over a year I see people zipping by while many of us sit still waiting for case complete. I want you to know that I have been lied to by the the customer service reps at NVC, one told me my AOS was accepted then I called a few days later and was told I had Case Complete I rarely call because most of the reps are very rude and not helpful at all. I called Monday to confirm and the Rep told me my files had not even been touched. Why isn't my case rushed because of the way I was treated? Why do you insist on treating us like this it's just cruel and there are others in the same boat as I am that need immediate help with our cases but we wait and wait many of us for 16 and 18 months. Tell me why I was lied to not only once but twice? I want answers and action I paid for service I am not receiving!!!!!!!!!

  Thank you so much will do was busy calling NVC.

 

   Yup called NVC twice today, I have never done that and Sylvia the supervisor was gone for the day, left early so there is nothing I can do until Monday.  I don't hold much hope I just don't trust anyone anymore.  You would think they would want to fix this since they blatantly lied to me about the AOS and CC, they should be embarrassed with the actions of their reps.   Their actions were not only cruel but unprofessional to say the least.smileys-office-744896.gif     smileys-office-330418.gif

Hi all, I suppose I want to vent a little. NVC is so unorganized it is maddening. We arrived at NVC in May of this year, and waited till end of june for any bills to become available. For some reason we could only pay the AOS, my husbands DS261 was filled out, but this small questionnaire has yet to be 'checked' so that he can pay the DS260 and get on with this process. The AOS I sent was accepted July 7th (it took a week of sitting there for them to scan it in!)

Soooo, we are waiting for the approval (hopefully) of the AOS and the release of the bill for the DS260. We also had to change embassies from Tokyo to France because my husbands work ended and he had to go back to his home country. That alone took 3 emails and taking to 3 separate people to get them to start processing the embassy change. When I called to check on why we couldn't fill out the DS260 yet, they gave me this as an excuse....changing embassies. 

And on top of it all two months after them receiving my AOS, they sent me an email saying it would be 60 more days to process it. Then the next day they sent me an email saying I hadn't contacted the NVC for more then a year and I had to refile my paperwork. Obviously they are not organized at all and blindly answering emails. We just got to the NVC in May. I just don't know how to get more info from these guys. I've tried being nice, I've tried asking for a manager, I've tried being nice again, nothing works. 

 

I know you all are in my boat, just wanted to say hello and talk to fellow frustrated spouses. I hope you are all getting somewhere :)

 

  I'm so sorry your going through this just seems to get worse with these bozos,  did you ask for a supervisor I would try asking them for Octavio or Sylvia there is one more good one but can't remember their name.   Keep trying and calling them someone has to help you out here.   Good luck and graphics-welcome-010883.gif to the thread. :)  I will be praying all works out for you very soon.

Soloenta... did you spike the thread or is it just on my screen? Everything we post comes out in bold now!



 

   Umm no I didn't do anything, I was on vacation so couldn't be me.  I think it was EOC or Samreen yes that's it did see Austin lurking about. :D  s0805.gifs0805.gif

I just called and spoke with NVC rep {didn't get hold of his name}. He told me about the missing document and also waiting for the supervisor review. I asked to talk with Supervisor Silvia, he placed me on hold and he told me that Supervisor Silvia said Octavio is the supervisor currently handling my case file and that he resume 4pm, he asked me to call back in the evening to speak with Octavio any time from 4.30pm.

**Hubby planned to call this night anyway but I was just too impatient to know the outcome of our case.

At least am a bit relief someone has been appointed to handle my case file and Supervisor Silvia and the rep even confirmed its Octavio without me telling them hubby had spoke with Octavio before.

Am praying to God to touch the heart of Octavio and make him check my file and give me a CC. My prayers also goes to Soloenta, Samreen, Romil, Msc and everyone going thru this immigration process. We all shall come out of this process victorious and happy by God's grace.





(L)   So happy they are handling your case and Silvia is handling mine we are both lucky to get to good supervisors.  God willing my friend all this will be part of the past. :) t4582.gif

Oh hi Eoc, sorry I have been off vj for a couple of days. I was not feeling too well, still a little sick. Yes my file has arrived, but still waiting on the consulate to schedule an appointment. I emailed them, and tell replied telling me, I should hear from them by Monday. How are you doing? I hope you are not stressing yourself out. You will soon get a cc, and an appt in November, please stay strong sweetie. To my other sis from a different mama, Soloenta I hope things are working out for you too. I know you are going through a really tough time, please hang in there.
I recently wrote an email to Senator Boxer, about the delays, checklists etc at nvc. Hopeful things will get done quicker, I heard she is very passionate about immigration.

  

   Hello my sister from another mommi hehehee I'm hanging in there I'm at least happy Sylvia the supervisor is handling our case.  I've called two days in a row and she hasn't called back so jut asked them to let her know I was asking about the case.  I don't want to piss her off.

 

    I don't want to depress you but Boxer only cares about illegals I don't think she will do a thing for us.  Now bring your husband here against the law and you just might make her happy. :D.   But miracles do happy.   t4582.gif

 

 

It's not up yet, will work on it this weekend.

 

Serco lost the NVC contract; it's now FCi Federal. Find them on facebook and flood their page.

 

 

 

 

   Ok would have been easier with a link but will hunt for them ty very much. :) (L) (L)

The NVC checklisted my friend saying all of her originals in the IV package were copies! She spoke with reps over and over again...she even put in a supervisors request and today she spoke with supervisor Betsy who also confirmed that they were copies and not originals!

What is happening to NVC? Why are they acting like such lunatics! She's obviously devestated and I don't know how to comfort her :cry: :cry:

Fellow VJrs please make a small prayer on her behalf that some sense prevails into the heads of NVC workers and they stop mistreating people like this.

Forgot to mention other details from my interview with all the drama:

1. All x-rays were returned to me and fingerprints were taken of me and my wife before the CO interview. No digital photos were taken. Kids were exempt... all four are under 14 years old.

2. All my originals were returned, including our PCCs since I provided copies of them in the IV package... that last bit was a surprise. CO simply compared the copies with originals then stamped the copies and handed over the originals.

3. CO did ask for the Kuwait marriage certificate even though we provided the US marriage certificate which predates it. I had it with me. Made a copy himself and stamped it then returned the original. He asked if I had a translation which I didn't (it was in Arabic) and he let it go at that.

4. My wife was called and asked a few questions, in my presence. CO asked several questions he asked of me about her and knew the answers by then to verify I was telling the truth. I did pre-warn my wife to tell the exact truth and not hide anything. I also warned her not to expand unnecessarily, or guess an answer if she wasn't sure. All our answers matched.

5. We both took an oath and digitally signed our DS-260 forms with our fingerprints. Kids were also called to the window and were given the chance to take the oath if they wanted to. They did with much excitement. I digitally signed for them.

6. CO asked for all available old passports. I was ready with nearly a dozen of them. He went through them and stamped the old foil visas with a "Cancelled Without Prejudice" stamp, even though they were expired already. The really old ones that used to be stamped-in in passports were ignored. CO also elected not to cancel our current B1/B2 visas, remarking specifically that he trusts us not to abuse them and risk our IV case. That was towards the end of the tense interview.

 

Note to all, especially those who used a lawyer to prepare their paperwork: Your lawyer will not be with you at the interview. Be well prepared mentally and documentarily. Arm yourself with the USCIS guidelines pertaining to your category. Tell the truth always but don't volunteer unnecessary information. Stay calm and courteous throughout, no matter what happens. Don't cower from defending your case, logically and calmly, if you notice the CO is missing the mark or attempts to intimidate you. Don't let the CO disarm you with his/her sweetness. Stay pleasantly formal throughout and keep your guard against any possible left-hooks. You're in for the interview of your life so don't fumble the ball needlessly.

Saying all that, I hope each of you will be one of the 90+%  of all applicants who have a nice and uneventful 10-minute interview.

 

  Thank you so much I copied and pasted this to give to my husband to read.  Thank God he is a calm man and not easily angered.  Thank you again for taking the time to help us all.:)

You would think wouldn't you. It is disgusting how we are being treated. I am such a professional in my working life and yet find myself speechless when on the phone with these guys. Don't want to lose it and who knows what they might write on our files. Like lets make them wait another 60 days!!!!!

 

  Exactly and the saddest thing of all is we have no recourse.  I'm the same way very professional in my field, they actually give me all the really difficult cases because they trust me to not do anything stupid or say anything inappropriate.  I have thought the same thing, be nice don't get upset they might really mess you up.  But we can still e-mail about the nasty ones.  I don't know I sort of give up to be honest I'm really tired and can't sleep anymore.  I want to cry but I can't let my parents see me do so.  God willing all this will be done with soon. :(   Prayer is all we have but I believe it's the strongest tool we have.

So another NVC issue.

Two days ago I received the 60 day email about documents received on 17th September. I had not sent any documents

Hubby called NVC yesterday and spoke to a supervisor. They said it was an email on their system. I had emailed them beginning of August to see if I might take Singapore Police Certificate to interview. Didn't hear back and sent PCC to NVC late August and got a scan date of 29th August. They replied to me on 17th September saying there wasn't enough information in the email. Their email then generated the 60 day email to me on 23rd September. #######. Do these people know what they are doing but I guess we all know the answer to that.

I then called today, was hung up on by Gus as he couldn't get me through to a Supervisor. Called back, waited another 46 mins to be told don't worry. As soon as they look at PCC they will close the case and give me an interview date. Find it hard to believe anything they say.

Will wait until they get to the 29th August reviews and if I don't get a CC I will be on the phone. pronto!!!







 

  You don't even want to know the choice words going through my head right now!  OUTRAGEOUS!  I'm convinced they're doing this on purpose they can't be this stupid and incompetent!

It turned out that NVC was working a little bit since I saw two CC (Aug 1 - scan date) on Facebook!   :thumbs:

 

  Thank you Austin it's good to know something is being done so I for one appreciate when you give us these updates.   t4582.gif

I don't mind having a new thread.

  Ok then we have another for monthly threads thank you very much for your input it helps tremendously. :) (L)

 

 

Yep, I'm also a recent NVC arrival. I got my NOA2 from CSC on September 5 and NVC received my case on September 17 (from what I've seen, NSC takes longer to ship the cases to NVC), but as of today I don't have a case number yet. They told me the exact same thing, that I have to wait 30 days from the date NVC received it.

  They lie, keep calling every other day or so or once a week how ever you like but don't leave it up to them.  I bet they take their grandmothers pudding from them at the convalescent home they put her in and laugh. :D (L)

 

Patiently waiting on the case complete.

  Soon my dear soon you will be on cloud nine. :) (L)

 

 

I also vote for a new thread

  Excellent thank you for your input I think it's a land slide. ;) (L)
