NVC Filers - February 2013

[Elxan 4]

My files (i have three petitions) just arrived to NVC yesterday.

I am planning to call them every other day to confirm their entry to the system to provide operator in NVC with emails and get back IIN.

My question is about the email that i might be asked for my children.

If someone petitioned for their kids under 3 years old, what email you have provided for their DS-3202?

My guess is, it should be fine to provide my wife's email,

however i want to hear from people who actually had this situation.

Thanks for sharing your experience, it is invaluable !

Question, my wife's original birth certificate has no raised seal or stamps. It's printed on a newsprint type material and when compared to a US birth certificate, looks fake. Should I write a letter explaining that its a real BC or just submit as is without explanation hoping the reviewer is smart enough to tell that it's original? I want to prepare myself ahead of time.

I had a similar problem - Ecuadorian police certificates are just printed off the computer, have no dates anywhere on them, and look easily forged. We went to a civil registry and got it notarized and apostilled, and I'm hoping that will be enough to prove it's the original. Can you do something similar maybe?

Apostille is difficult to do and a lot of unnecessary questions are answered. This isn't printed of computer. It's handwritten with the details. The paper itself has green government writings on it. Just not in English. Did you have the supervisor review it?

Sorry to interrupt but...

Case has arrived at NVC! She didn't tell me exact date but said "the week of Feb 5" which I'm going to assume means yesterday? ugh whatever! :dance:

So on our timelines where it says NVC received should we put this date or should we put the date that we get the case number?

When we went, we talked to the gov't supervisor that was on shift at the time, and he said that people come through a lot for that reason (they ask why you need it before apostilling it to make sure it's a valid reason). And assume that any kind of writing that's not in English will be ignored, unless it's the document itself - then you'll have to get a translation. Did you ask anyone in the India regional forum? I'm sure SOMEONE has run into this problem before, and they could probably be more helpful than me.

Woot, great news!

For the timeline, NVC received is just like it sounds, the date that NVC received your case file. Unfortunately, there's no case number assigned date. Even though I suggested months and months ago in a thread in the Suggestions forum about re-updating the timeline. No one ever replied

Uh yea they should really do that, esp since the time from NVC received to actually getting the case number can take weeks!

(and can you update me in your spreadsheet too? )

I thought the same, so I did

I hope WE are inline together for ASAP processing!

Okay I won't be a pill and start my own topic on this.

Drum rolLllllllllLllllll :dance:

Case Complete 2-5-2013.

Yes you heard me. Go tell it on the mountain. She said "you were reviewed and case completed just today you are now waiting for interview congratulations I am so happy for you".

I told her she has the night off.

I haven't even got all the interview stuff in binders oh father help us all.

I am like going a mile a minute ready to pass out. I need to kiss or hug somebody. OMG :dance:

Okay back to ya'll. I am crying finally tears. Lord I thank you.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had gone to "march 2013 thread to see if our list is still intact and I saw your name with a date. Then I started wondering what is going on so i came here believing that if there is any news, you will post it here. I held my breath until I saw your post!

OoH Debbie, you are truly blessed.

I am sooooooooooooooo happy for you. I agree with MsHogan that you are an example of patience is a virtue: not once did you nag about your delay.

I wish you the best as you continue to plan. My husband and mom already know your story. i always give them your updates

I called NVC last night around 11:30 New Hampshire time and spoke with a supervisor, after schmoozing her about the weather and having lived in near NH for several years. Basically, what I've gathered is that the papers arrive at the NVC. Someone enters "data" into a computer to indicate that the case is there. Then, it goes into the next pile for more "data" to be entered, which will eventually generate a case number. So I'm in data 2 pile right now, waiting for someone to see me.

OMG, we just got our case #, invoice # and beneficiary#... Woo hoo!!!

It took like 10 min waiting on hold but it was worth it!! Yaaaaaay!!!

congrats

Suggest you hit the India subforum here, and either search a bit using advanced search tool, or start a new topic.

apostilled documents in India are a big problem - I've read hundreds of posts about it over the years, thinking 'I'm so glad she's not in India!' and never paying attention to what the real solution was.

Yeah, the IR-1/CR-1 timeline is outdated. If only I could update it

Can't update the spreadsheet until you get a case number assigned...
