My NVC drama


Hey guys! Today I will tell you when my NVC drama started.
I had been told my husband that he would need to fill out the forms and he would need his tax return. Ok. He packed everything in Alaska and paid a moving company to ship his stuffs. Well, guess what? He shipped his TAX RETURN along with his stuffs. 
Like I said previously our case reached at NVC on march 28th. They were pretty fast to send us the AOS and IV Bill. But we had to wait til my husband's stuff to get at this home to start filling out the I-864 form. Plus, my husband doesnt make money enough now since he left military so we needed my father in law to be my joint sponsor. My parents in law are awesome, I love them, so supportive and helpful! 
My mother in love and father in love were working on their form and my husband could not start his til april 13th. After he got his tax return he was pretty fast and got everything done by april 15th. He mailed the AOS package and IV package (which I had sent many days before we received the IV Bill - I was prepared lol) together. 
NVC got it on april 18th. On april 30th we got an email saying they had received our IV package but were still waiting for the AOS package. I thought that really strange because we sent both packages together. I have read many times at the Visa Journey website that NVC loses some documents eventually. I was desperate. Asked my husband to call NVC on monday and he was told to not worry about that. The form probably was at the building but still not on their system and we would have to wait for 20 business days . Oh My Gosh we had been waiting so much, but ok lets wait! 
Two days later we got another e-mail asking the same thing. I started panicking thinking they may should have lost our documents. 
Asked hubby to call NVC again and he was told the same thing. Few days later we got another e-mail. I was definately panicking so much. Asked my husband again to find out what is going on. We fought many times because of this process and I can't wait to be done with everything. 
He was told that same thing and at this time I didnt believe NVC anymore. My husband was angry because I had been calling him many times asking million different things so I decided to solve that by myself.
I called NVC and a lady told me to wait 20 business day. On may 10th, NVC e-mail me again and I knew they had lost our documents. So I replied the e-mail asking what is going on, explained I was very worried about that and who was right. The e-mail or the operator. They replied me again on may 11th saying that they had no record of receiving the package. I emailed them again with proofs of delivery (my husband had sent them two days before this day but they had not replied him) and started waiting for the response and was planning how I would manage to send the AOS package again as I had the package with me in Brazil. (like I said I was prepared and asked my husband to make two identic packages (original), he sent one to NVC and the other one he sent to me :D).
For my happyness when I got home at night on may 11th, I tried, as usual, to log into the payment website and guess what? Sign in Failed!!!
I was so happy, serious, I was almost crying! 
Then on 12th (today) I called NVC and I was told our documents were on final review and will be closed by tomorrow and soon we will be at the line to be scheduled for the interview! She said we might dont get it for june but for july is for sure!!! 
That's it. I am happy they haven't lost our package and I am greatful to all visajourney people who has helped a lot!

I did not know that I am in yet another dramma which I am on merry-go-round with the NVC robotic telephone operators and Their counterpart supervisors. For 10 weeks today they are still telling me they are unable to schedule me an appointment and I cannot contact the emabassy my self. I am so sick of all this.
