Thats a long time ...im contemplating in just getting another birth certificate and mailing it just to be sure

If the supervisor reviews it and makes the decision that the document is not the right one what happens?

then you wasted all that time . Did you get a checklist? if so,  .  Ask for a supervisor review but send it in .

2.5 weeks later and supervisor review still not complete  <_<

WOW WOW  all of my supervisor reviews were done within 2 days. Have you called and asked for a supervisor?  I have spoken to a few supervisors .. The day shift supervisor is amazing !!!    We also sent in the cerified Birth Cert immediately while we waited for the review. I had a feeling they were going to be jerks.. and I was right.

I am starting to believe that they haven't been scheduling due to the fact that July is going to be their vacations. Maybe??

The US Embassy has to be open.  Maybe they are on a lighter case load.  Costa Rica has 2 Holidays in July. The American 4th of July and then another Costa Rican Hoilday around the 26th I think...  Then August 2nd.    I am hoping to get in the 3 rd week in July. I'm not being picky, I just want July. Booking a flight the first week will be too expensive and probably no rewards seats left anyway.


 

I had a supervisor review and sent in another birth certificate.  It took a month and birth certificate was reviewed first.

WoW  I thought yours was for the marriage Certificate. They got you for the Birth Certificate too?   What was the issue with yours?

Holy Cow! That's a lot of money! I haven't seen any interview dates being scheduled for anywhere. It's getting really discouraging. 

It sure is alot of money !!  I saw that post when I woke up this morning and almost had a heart attack.. My husband only has to pay $75.00  or at least that is what the instructions say.    But $75 is alot of money in Costa Rica. I think the xray is additional. Not sure about the labs.   That is why he went to his family doctor to get up to date on his vaccinations.  Maybe Sukie's partner had to pay so much because she got more vaccinations at the appointment??? Not sure.. That is a huge amount of money for a medical

There was a batch that was sent out on June 4th. I wonder if batches are sent weekly, bi-weekly, or if they wait until there's a certain 'amount' before they ship? I guess it all depends on when the next shipment goes.... but as LoveMyTico just posted, I guess they sit in a queue until they get the availability schedule from the Embassy.

 

It must be REALLY HARD to press 'send' on an e-mail.

they wouldn't have to even press SEND if it was automated...   funny how we all pick out the things they can improve on while we wait... not that its difficult.  Everything needs to be fixed !! 

 

I wonder if they computer system is messed up?  Like how they were having issues with the invoicing?    UGHHH that would suck

Let us know what they say. So many of us CC peeps are waiting for interviews. I feel we're a little group that have been stuck and waiting for the past month. And some of us have been waiting for over a year!!! (not me...it'll only be 10 months of waiting for me on the 15th)

Well, I got Cindy.. she was the next best thing to Todd.  HA HA

She just said they are waiting on the response from the embassy. They are still scheduling for July.  So I was trying to dig a little on the process but they don't like to give out any details...   From what I gather, our CC's sit in a queue. It doesn't matter how many total  CC's there are to be scheduled. It depends on the volume at each embassy.  So I think they send out the CC's that need appointements to the embassy and they wait for confirmation.   So when she says waiting for confirmation from the embassy, I guess the CC's were queued up... just waiting ( another waiting game)  I tried to get more info out of her but she wouldn't  budge.  She also verified that the CC email is taking a week.

 

Maybe someone else can ask what they mean by Waiting on confirmation from the embassy.

 

 

 

Oh, and she did say that Costa Rica is not a common embassy and there should not be an issue with getting a July interview but I'm only taking that as her personel opinion..

 

The ####### above sounds like jumble.. sorry..

 my dog was crying at 2 am and I decided to let him out instead of cleaning up a mess he MIGHT create...  Turns out it was just the rain outside   but now I am suffering...  I am soooooo    tired

I completely agree. I mean I feel guilty sitting here complaining about not getting an interview date when others are waiting for the rest of the process. But we did our share of waiting and I haven't seen absolutely any interview dates being scheduled for awhile now. Maybe one here and there. But nothing like last month. 

 

SO....... WHAT IS GOING ON PEOPLE?

ehhh  don't feel bad about complaining because I feel the same way .  At least those who are waiting will know what they face once they get a CC.  This thread helped me so much. I liked  knowing what was next.   I am sure they appreciate it !    

 

I am on hold again.  I was thinking about asking for a supervisor this time... it depends on who I get. This morning I got Todd again.  God I love him !  I hope he answers again.  I can do without Joy and Arthur.

No CC email for me yet :(

 

I'm worried with all these people having CC dates changed that mine was as well.  I'll call today and double check I'm still May 31!

I am wondering what the heck is going on with the interview appointments. I haven't seen any scheduled.  By the looks of the spreadsheet, it seems they schedule them about 2 weeks into the month also.    So HOPEFULLY they are coming.   Costa Rica is such a low volume embassy.    This waiting is horrible.   Is it me,  or does it seem everything seems stalled this month???

Good morning all!

 

So exactly a week after CC, I got the Case Complete email this morning.

 

And now just waiting for the interview....    :clock:

 

 

YAY !  I hope they start scheduling those interviews.   

 

So I was originally completed on the 2nd but they put it back in review and re-completed it on the 4th.  So I guess something may come through on Wednesday.  This waiting game is such a joke.

Still waiting for an interview email....not to mention a "Case Complete" email.  I don't see why these take so long.  It would really behoove NVC to get our cases OUT of their hands!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS.... you would think the second they press the COMPLETE button, it would automatically generate that stupid notice...   Why do they insist on holding on tot he files??  Sooo inefficient.  Good Luck with getting an interview.. I'm in the same boat !!

Oh my! My furnace is exactly 20 years old, and I'm shocked it's still kicking. I know that's on the list of things to buy this year. At least hubby will be here to help when that does go!

MIne is probably 50 years old. I know its on its last leg. The entire winter I had to go bang on the meter looking thingy everytime I wanted it to kick on.   Sometimes it would kick on automatically  but not often. I thought it was the thermostat so I replaced it... nope...  and I was afraid to call the repair people for fear they would red-tag it and then I would be screwed. I don't have $4000 to replace it.  My roof is leaking too  so I should probably replace that .   I was hoping my husband would be here soon so he could get up there and fix it !  I live in a townhouse and it is just too high for my liking . 


It's finally Monday!  :joy:

I'm in Atlantic City with my oldest daughter just tying to keep my mind off immigration for a couple days. I hope they start giving us our interviews. This waiting is for the birds. Why can't they assign the interview automatically when they complete the case? Wouldn't that make sense?

So confused, packages received on 20th of May and agent told me they haven't reviewed them yet and it take 30 business days to review them, so after they start reviewing them do we start counting 30 days again for a case complete?Hope somebody can enligthen me with this. TIA

BUSINESS days ... and don't forget there was a holiday in the mix too


After many, *many*, attempts to call the NVC tonight, I finally got through and spoke to May, who very kindly informed me that our case number was assigned on June 4. She provided me with the IIN, too.

 

Unfortunately, our assigned embassy is incorrect, as they've routed us to the embassy in my husband's home country, rather than where we currently live (Paris). I fear that getting this corrected will really slow down the process.

Were you  married in France?

Lol I'm 24 but I get what you're saying. She didn't try to learn about it because she doesn't care. Btw I hate her and everyone that abuses the system so that honest people get screwed. You should have reported her bs.

well, the thought has crossed my mind..but since I am going through this mess myself I don't want to create any kind of "bad Karma"   and to tell you the truth, my community is crawling with illegals. I can point them all out.  They walk with confidence since our president won't deport them anymore.  I also know an entire family who all received Greencards through fake marriages.I won't have anything to do with them. They are all liars..  It amazes me how they pull one over on the government and the rest of us have to suffer through this long process.     OHHHH don't get me started

:rofl: Hey hey lol I am 22 turning 23 next month. I always like to investigate, I literally had to stop myself from always tracking with USCIS because it was becoming addicting and I was getting depressed. Once it was approved and sent over to NVC, I did both calling and emailing to check what was happening, plus I asked my friends who had done the process too. 

 

Talking about this, my cousin a guy got married he is 24...well his dumb "wife" decided to sneak in and go to the interview without even telling him. So most likely she didn't take the necessary paper work, well well they told her that he had to come. So my cousin goes right, they go on a mini vacation to a resort, then they go on the interview together and they asked them if they slept in the same room one said no and the other one said yes lmfao so obviously they didn't get APPROVED.

 

They were having some drama with each other hence why all of it ended up that way. MESSY MESSY MESSY. Plus my cousin lol is kind of dumb, I wonder who said yes and no to that question plus I am sure it was other factors that messed it up for them.  :rolleyes:

 

 

 

I didn't mean to disrespect you ! sorry about that ...  I know not everyone is ignorant to the process.

I am in similar stress and uncertainty as well. We were put into extended review at I-130 which took a long time, like never ending. You can't imagine how much I had to work on my case, talked talk to lawyers, considered sue options, wrote  to USCIS every month, to ombudsman, asked one state senator to help but no reply than asked my community leaders to help than asked my local congressman who was thankfully was willing to help, even when that took a month, I even wrote to President obama and strangely my case was approved 2 days after that but I am thinking realistically it was my congressmen help that was crucial.

 

Now I am worried about the interview, it will destroy me if they put us again in additional processing. My wife is a doctor, she is from good and well to do family, both her parents and sibling has US visit visa. I am just hoping it goes well from here.

Wow, you waited longer than me and LucyBelle.   NSC and TSC are definitely the worst !!    I am so sorry you had to wait like that !!

 

I wrote letters everyday towards the end. I called the Senator's office like every other day.  It wasn't until I sent an email to this one guy ( i forget his name now) and I was approved the same day.    I don't think the Senator's office did anything.  They just relayed the message that during security checks the process cannot be expedited  BLAH BLAH BLAH.   I kept getting the "wiat 60 days" garbage..  I totally feel your pain.  But lucky me, We have to file a waiver at the NSC... So I'll be at the mercy of the NSC for 6-8 months unless they speed up that process.  It depresses me to look at the processing times.  (((SIGH)))

And I'll buy the second round!!!  The Kabana is right down the street and they have great curly fries! ;)

 

I was told you have to wait for an interview letter to do the medical.  I'm pretty sure that's the case for most countries as well.

 

The police cert you DO NOT need a letter to get.  We already got one for my husband, sent it in with the IV packet and everything. (just realized he'll have to get another one though, our three months will be up July 9)  He can go ahead and get the police record now, it's good for 90 days even though NVC tells you it's only good for 30.

 

Call the embassy- they speak English!!  You can pick to speak to someone in English, sometimes they still answer in Spanish but just start speaking English and they'll switch. :)

its a date then !!    Does your husband speak any english?

No, I mean the 3rd. It is a mystery :) I don't even understand why they bother answering a phone and give us information that we know is incorrect.

understand that most people believe that they are being 100% honest. VJ members know better but we are only a small speck at the NVC . 

 

I knew this girl who filed papers for her ILLEGAL husband in the US. I was asking her all kinds of questions about where her file was being processed etc.... this girl had no idea.. NONE!!!  she was a young , dumb 23 year old who had no clue.  It made me sick. I don't understand how you can start a process and not know anything about it or even care to follow the progress.  And not to know the simplest things like where the file even is.... OMG....  PUKE PUKE PUKE  

 

so I guess what I'm trying to say is.... if she were to call, she would have no reason to not believe what they have to say....

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2014

This has probably been talked about but I was wondering when they do the security checks. I thought that the uscis stage was for background checks for both people and that NVC was more to collect the necessities. I just don't get why ap exists if they already did the background checks...

they pulled that line on me when I was sending letters everyday towards the end.  Of course the security checks take you out of the queue and the normal processing timeline no longer applies.  

 

My take on that whole thing is.... My file sat in a dusty corner from April12, 2013 until February 2014 when they decided to pick it up and work on it. Then I was approved on March 18th 2014.   Its just another way for them to push you aside but make themselves look good.    11 months I will never get back.  and now they are approving files in 5 months ... sometimes less. Makes me sick.   and the February 2014 filers are starting to get approved... and those are the people who complain about the long processing times... PUUHHHHLEASSSSSSEEEEEEEE

Anyways, psyched to hear another good news about hopefully a July interview for us!!!  :joy:

ME TOOOOOOOO  and yes... you probably are the only other CR file.   What a small world since we are both on VJ...

If we get interviews on the same day, I'll buy a round of shots for you and your hubby afterwards !!

 

Do you think our husbands can get thier medicals done while we wait for an interview date?   I wonder how long the  medical is good for? 

 

The Doctor, lab and the radiology place are all right near each other. Pretty much right across the street from each other.  If my husband could just make the appts I would feel like we are moving along here. He is on the edge of his seat !  Since he works on the farm, he can go whenever.   He can get the police cert right before the interview since they said it doesn't have to be translated. 

 

The instructions say you need the interview letter for the appt.  I wonder if that is really true.   Have you called the doctors to ask ? I would call except my spanish is only caveman talk...  they would laugh and hang up..

WOW :wow:  WOW :wow:  WOW, I hope everyone who calls the NVC gets a chance to speak with Todd.  What an amazing Operator. SUPER helpful and  he took the time to listen and look at my case. When I told him how rude Joy and Arthur were to me he just laughed out loud.  I guess he was sort of agreeing without actually saying it !!

 

SO, oddly enough, I explained what happened with the email I received with the someone else's personal information... he stated the same thing happened to another caller last week. He thought it was me  but I never had the pleasure of speaking with Todd before. He looked back in the phone logs and confirmed that he NEVER spoke to me before.   Kinda makes me wonder who is responding to the emails.. #######??? :devil:

 

He said San Jose is not a common embassy. I am like one of two calls he has taken for that embassy in a long while....and that I should have no problem getting an interview!!  YAY ! 

 

Also confirmed that interviews are scheduled electronically. There isn't one person who sits there and schedules each one individually..  I was joking with him and told him to go give the scheduler $5 from me. :whistle:   He said that department is in another building...  ......and guys... Todd can take a joke.. Such a nice guy !

 

So my status is STILL WAITING !!!!!    but at least I had a really good experience with the operator this morning.

Well, you're not alone. There have been days when I held back sobs all through work, ordered myself not to cry during my commute, then got home, held my cat for a cuddle, and immediately burst into tears. There's no shame in being glad to have a companion. This is a long, lonely, difficult process. Anything that provides comfort is good.

Question, my husband sent me all the documents which are the following: Marriage certificate, birth certificate, police letter, a copy of the passport bio page and he sent me 8 pics 2x2 just in case. I am getting ready to send my IV packet sometime next week. The original documents are in Spanish, he got them translated and everything. So am I also supposed to send the SPANISH version with the English one attached, or just the English one? I am not sending my originals though, I am sending them copies.

I just received the call back from the supervisor confirming my case is complete and in line for an interview. I asked a ton of questions about how they assign interviews.  She didn't know much but did say its all done electronically. The embassies provide time slots and the types of visas they will interview for . The queue takes them in order.     I had a very long conversation about the nasty operators .   She told me to send an email and report them because it should not be like that.    So here is the email address. We should all report the nasty ones.  LOOK OUT JOY and ARTHUR. I suppose we could also send emails of praise too !!

 

NVCINQUIRY@state.gov.  Attn : P I Dept. ( in the subject line)

 

also, she told me again, they are finished with the first round of July interviews. She is not sure if there will be a second round. Sometimes there isn't.  I told her that I have heard from others that they are still scheduling for July... her reply was  that it is a brand new notification and they probably didn't get it yet.    I asked about Costa Rica, she said I am one of very few for Costa Rica so I MIGHT get a July interview but it depends on what Costa Rica provided.  She was very nice . She would not say yes or no whether I will be scheduled soon. She explained that they just don't have that information available.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2014

Hi all,

 

I sent in the I-864 and not the I-864EZ because for some reason I thought I needed to send it in. But I just read the instructions for the I-864EZ and it says that I was eligible to use it. Am I going to get checklists or do they not care as long as I sent in a signed AOS form? Thanks!

You're good Rick

Did you get that supervisor phone call today yet?

nope,  but I called last night around 9:45.  took 45 minutes to get through and an hour on hold.  But I had to know if they completed my case AGAIN !!!!   and it is ... Everything is fine but I would not have slept if I didn't call last night.  

 

I honestly didn't expect a call this morning..  I told you... I don't trust them at all.

I am disgusted at this inefficient process.  Trying to stay positive but they have disappointed me at every turn.   Let's see if my Case Complete stays COMPLETE this time.
