National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC is making me lose my mind - 2nd RFE on I-864?
QUOTE (trailmix @ Aug 13 2008, 02:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I understand what you are saying because we pretty much experienced the same thing.

We had an RFE for the DS-230. I called the operator when I heard the message and she said I had missed putting 'to present' in a couple of fields. I called again and spoke to another operator who confirmed this.

I made up the cover sheet etc etc - sent it overnight to NVC. A few days later the message changed, saying they had received the item.

So a week or so passes - no case complete - hmmm. I get the hard copy of the RFE - they did want the corrected DS-230 but they ALSO wanted a photo copy of my Husband's Canadian PR card (he is the beneficiary and inteviewed in Canada).

The thing is - first of all I don't think the operators can see everything we send - things that are out of the ordinary they may not see - there is no 'code' for a Canadian PR card and there is no code, probably, for an 'employment letter' - therefore they can't really tell you whether it is there or not.

Anyway, don't want to make this posting too long, but in a nutshell I ended up having to email a copy of his PR card twice and overnight a hard copy.

I then had to get a supervisor involved. She said 10-14 days but it was really only like 5 or less - she was very nice (I had to call her back a second time as, although they assured her they were going to work on the file - they didn't and she had to go over there to see them a second time).

I have a theory about this - I think they frown on people making their own RFE coversheets - I can't remember who it was a month or so ago who tried Chris Parker's RFE coversheet and his file ended getting hung up as well.

So basically 3 things:

1. The operator may not have told you all that was missing.

2. I think they frown on people creating their own RFE coversheets.

3. Let the supervisor take care of it, I definately would not submit anything else, until it is requested. If you did not personally speak with a supervisor today, call back and ask to speak to one yourself.

(Oh and I also had the shifting dates thing for the 2nd RFE for the card and I also had many operators tell me to ignore the message - they had everything they needed with the corrected DS-230 - hence my belief that they can't see all that is missing - or requested).


How did you talk to a supervisor??? Did you call the regular NVC number and then ask the operator to pass you with the supervisor>>???

Is it normal that after several weeks (our process at NVC is almost over, we are waiting for approval or for a RFE) we only got the DS3032 (my husband and I), not another single paper...we used james shortcut, we have talked to the operator and everything is ok... but we have not a single paper, not a single prove!!!!

Enjoy and Relax rofl.gif rofl.gif rofl.gif rofl.gif


A very shy guy goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman sitting at the bar. After an hour of gathering up his courage he finally goes over to her and asks, tentatively, "Um, would you mind if I chatted with you for a while?"

She responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!" Everyone in the bar is now staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table.

After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She smiles at him and says, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I'm a graduate student in psychology and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing situations."

To which he responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean $200?"

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOur petition was finally assigned case number!!
QUOTE (Jina @ Aug 6 2008, 01:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Thank you all!! I am now super excited.

Since everything has been so slow, I thought the embassy would also take a long time to receive our case.
The USCIS took over four months to receive our I-130 petition, and another four months to approve our I-130 and I-129F petitions.
After then, the NVC took 86 days to enter our case into their computer system and send it to the embassy.

However, after we finally got our case number, things seem to go so fast.
The NVC assigned case # on July 30 for our approved I-129F petition, and my husband got e-Packet today (August 5) from the embassy in Seoul.
With the case number assigned, I submitted online interview scheduling form.
Surprise! In less than two hours, I got the interview date, August 25, about two weeks after today.

I heard that in my country, the visa will be issued in a week after the interview.
I hope I can be with my husband in the first or second week of next month.


WOW CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!! I AM HOPING MY INTERVIEW TO BE SCHEDULED ON SEPTEMBER, WELL IF NOT I AM GONNA SEE MY HUSBAND ANYWAYS BUT IT'S GONNA BE SO HARD TO LET HIM GO, HAVE ANYONE HEARD OF AN NVC PROCESS ENDED IN 40 TO 40 DAYS????

Do not stress too much at USCIS, wait at least a month until you check it again... sometimes they don't update it (like in our case) and when they do they just give you false hopes
