i just wanted to share the fact that i just sat on hold with the department of state for 28 minutes...i then heard someone pick up the phone and hang up immediately ohmy.gif ...i called back right away and conveniently heard the recording say 'our office is currently closed, please call back at another time'

....I know that sounds corny but this is what I dream of.......a family life with a man that I love and loves me.......Come on VSC........please hurry

It doesn't sound corny at all! This is what we all dream of... a NORMAL relationshiop. It's the little things, like you said, like just holding hands. Just being together. Apparently, it's a lot to ask for us though.

Hey Ya'll,

Do/have any of you end up calling NVC / DOS on a daily basis to see if your respective embassy has yet received your case yet?

I spoke to DOS yesterday about that whole aberration of them misspelling her last name, and the guy told me basically not to worry about it. But he also said that London hadn't received the case yet. From what everyone had been saying, it seemed to take only a few days to get from NVC to Embassy but as of today it's officially been a week...

If I call them daily will they start seeing 40 million records of me having called? Does this piss them off? Is there any written or unspoken rule that I shouldn't keep calling them?

If there was an online system I could just keep checking I'd do that, but unless my head was under a rock somewhere, I don't believe that's the case.

I would really like to know when London has gotten it so I can tell Amy to keep a sharp eye out for Packet 3, but yeah...kinda hard to do that when they don't have it yet.

I called DOS today and got a recording that they're closed!
But I emailed the Montreal embassy and they got back to me today with what date they received my case. Took 5 days, even though the DHL package I tracked that I'm pretty sure was mine said it arrived in just 1 day. Probably sat in their mail room. They also told me they sent out our Packet 3 yesterday, so at least I know to tell my SO to look out for it.
So, you could try to contact London directly, maybe? Not sure how they work things.
And I'm not sure, but it seems from what I've read that DOS are pretty nice, and it's not going to count against you to call every day if you want to.

BTW, does anyone know if Packet 3 will go to my SO in Canada or to our lawyer here or possibly both?? unsure.gif

Wow, things do go faster after NOA2!
11.29.07 - NOA2
12.03.07 - NVC Received
12.05.07 - NVC Left

Yay... now I get to wait like 6 more months for our Montreal interview. cray5ol.gif

Well, at least *something* moved quickly.

But i have a question:

Of those of you that have their petitions at NVC....Did ou get a TOUCH before it was sent but AFTER your approval????????????????????????/

Good question; that prompted me to look again. I have a touch on 11.30, one day after my NOA2. I'm not sure if my case is at NVC yet but I have a sneaking suspicion it was sent on the 30th. wink.gif

Do you all have your NOA2 hard copy? Just wondering...

I don't have my hard copy yet but I think my lawyer may have received it today b/c she emailed me.

Hey guys, I was thinking of trying to call NVC either tonight or tomorrow.

I was just trying to get a feel for how easy it really is.

From what I've read it seems to be...call the number, hit the right prompts, give EAC number...and then that's it, right?


I'm not sure.

I'm working up the courage to do the very same thing. I'm gonna try in the morning and see what happens. Hopefully, they won't bite my head off! I've been a really good girl and haven't called anyone at USCIS during this whole process. innocent.gif

I only complained to the ombudsman via email! whistling.gif

I'm in your boat too. I hate using the phone. I emailed NVC yesterday but only got an auto response, saying they will respond for real later. I may call them this evening if I can find a moment from work (emailing and reading forums is so much easier to get away with wink.gif )

Yes Sept because of my workload. I've got the Job 1 Launch of the 2009 F-150 Truck to keep me busy from now until late Aug when I leave for BKK.

This may actually work out for the best anyway 'cause if I'd have gone as planned (May 29 w/return on June 13) I'd have been VERY VERY BUSY (like now) while she sat at home, alone, with no friends or family here. I can just imagine how crazy she would have gone. I mean she doesn't even drive so I'll have to teach her then get a car and all so it'll be a while b/4 she's independantly moble and all.

TheeRak, I'm sorry for this huge hassle you had to deal with... but everything happens for a reason, and it sounds like this may work out better for the both of you. Waiting stinks, but once it's over, you'll be so happy. At least there is a light at the end of the tunnel and you know that in just a few months you'll be together. smile.gif
