try to fill an expedite request through your congressman or senator office that is more easier than to deal with them directly smile.png

 

they are as worthless as the USCIS, IMHO. I can try to reach out, but i am sure they will send a generic email back to me....

Called NVC to inquire about a request to expedite due to the escalation in Kiev, only to be met by the rudest operator I have spoken to over the phone since i had to deal with countrywide/bank of america a few years ago. WTH? these people are paid to be professional CUSTOMER SERVICE agents. she was horrible. /end rant

this thread moves way fast.... the march filers thread got depressing.

 

I received the update that my case was transferred from TSC to NVC as of today. When should i start calling for my case number?

Excellent! Hopefully you'll be able to get away from that insanity quickly.

 

I am happy this is going more smoothly now than at USCIS.

So I understand correctly, for BOTH attorney and non-attorney cases, is it that AOS must be completed before the IV bill opens ?

 

 

That can't be true.

 

 

I thought WITH an attorney both the AOS and IV open up at the same time. 

 

You pay them both and send them packets of documents later.

 

Saylin, can you chime in here for some clarity ?

Saylin should be able to better assist. I don't have an attorney and I am completing everything myself.

This process truly makes you grit your teeth.  I am sitting at exactly 5 business days since the AOS invoice.  I hope to get the IV invoice today or by Friday. 

 

Tomorrow marks a complete calendar year since the petition was file Feb. 27, 2013.

 

 

Hang in there GAFL, focus on the future rather than dwelling on the present. In time everything will work out.

Was the IV bill available only after you submitted the AOS documents ?

 

as soon as they received my AOS they opened the bill for IV.

blink.png Wow, that bad? Well, hopefully someone can approve your expedite and hurry you on through the process, approve you, and then you can quickly immigrate out of there.

 

yeah its getting crappy pretty quickly. wife is thinking to travel somewhere else if it escalates further.... which sucks

Saylin, I did request an expedite. They have forwarded the info onto the embassy/consulate in Kiev. But most government buildings are being shut down now, and government officials are fleeing the country.

NVC is moving at a snails pace the last couple weeks. Meanwhile the conditions in Kiev are not getting better....

When you say NVC hasn't responded to your request, do you mean they never sent you an email acknowledging the receipt of your request? I ask this because, based on the timeline on my signature, my lawyer requested an expedited processing on 2/5/14 and we received a response from NVC on 2/7/14 (today) stating that my request my under review. Can you please clarify?

 

I received the automated response, however have not received any email stating under review. I emailed them on the 30th of Jan.... 

 

I can resend now that you are telling me they are working on yours after two days

Getting closer now... i requested for an expedite a couple weeks ago and NVC hasnt responded to it, however, the process seems to be picking up momentum at this point which is good.

well interview went well, however due to delay of documents being sent by NVC to Embassy, we had to reschedule due the the AOS (original) not being present. No worries though, only a week setback.

Call on Monday and see what's going on? I don't think it should have gone back to Initial Review after you answered the RFE.

 

i will, unless i get an update stating that its approved.

NYTimes has a history, not unlike that of CNN etc, of leaning to the left. therefore my statement is completely relevant. :-)

Its all speculation at this point, tier 2 could not see what the RFE was, and my expedite request was denied as well....
