NVC Filers - January 2014

[SennaBrigante 92]

So weird. At the USCIS website it says that our case is in Initial Review. Last time I checked last week it said Post-Decision Activity. My husband called them about 2 weeks ago and was told that our case was sent to NVC.

Now I'm hesitant to call NVC because our receipt number might not be ours anymore or whatever. Do we clarify this with USCIS or NVC?

(I made a thread about tis but veterans on this thread might be able to shed some light)

You definitely need to call uscis and talk to tier 2 or better yet a supervisor, ask them to verify your status. Edited January 29, 2014 by krispykreme

This isn't really an issue honestly as long as you typed in the numbers correctly. You can call if you want to but dont go off what the uscis website says. For one lady on this board shes a citizen now and her case still says initial review.

no. You need adjusted gross income if you filed the 1040ez. You need the total gross income if you filed a 1040.

So this is my first post here. Thought I'd never get here but am thankful as so many who filed before us are still waiting, thinking of LoveMyTico especially. <3. I know we should wait for at least a week before calling NVC for our case no, hopefully this process goes smoothly, it all seems so complicated. But have all our documents gathered up and ready to go. Have been reading all the info by Saylin, and LingChe's shortcut advice. So good luck everyone.

That sounds reassuring. So I'm assuming I'll just keep using our receipt number when calling NVC to ask if they received our packet?

Hi all

I wondered if anyone could shed any light on a concern I have. It's pretty specific so I'm not sure if anyone will know. Basically, both AOS and IV fees have been paid. I (the principal applicant) have my IV pack ready to send to NVC. Now, my wife cannot send her AOS pack until she recieves her 2013 tax return from IRS. She has already requested it but they are not starting processing these until Friday (31st). Does anyone on the off chance know typically how long it takes IRS to complete this process? I am worried that we will be waiting for the 2013 tax return to come back for weeks! ;-(. Timing sucks really bad as I am ready to go with the IV pack and we really wanted an interview date for March!

If anyone knows how long it takes for IRS to file the tax return that would be great.

Many thanks

Unless your wife specifically needs the 2013 return for proof of income if her previous years were too low, you can still file using the previous years (or 3 years as they indicate that they like that) and not have to wait until the 2013 is processed. This can be done up until April 2014 which is the tax deadline.

It usually takes about 14 days for the IRS to process your tax refund or in my case ask to be paid!

Hello. Just an update. My husband's I-130 was approved on Sept. 30,2013 then no mail from NVC that they received it. Last week I called NVC regarding the case and they told me its not sent to them yet and to request for a search. Called USCIS the same day spoke with officer and he told me he will just submit a request to search for the case. Then yesterday my lawyer received a response from NVC regarding my husband's case. Unfortunately, they informed that the file was sent to the San Fernando Valley Field Office. What do I do to get USCIS transfer the file to NVC IMMEDIATELY?? I need this petition going since we've waited 11 months for this petition to get approved and now I'm having this problem. Pls. Help!

I wonder if the casefile went to NVC, then was requested back from that field office.

Regardless,

you need to talk with an Immigration Liason Staffer Human, at yer congressman's office, nowish.

Stuff to do:

1. call the congressman's office, ask for the name, telephone number, and email of the Immigration Staffer there.

2. submit the privacy release form however they accept it (fax, email scan signed page).

3. write a missive outlinging the erroneous casefile movement, include request to get the A-File scanning completed, include request to get the A-File sent out the door to NVC.

4. send missive via fax and email to the ILS Human.

Go Get Em, and Good Luck !

(yes, you'll need to use a telephone firstly)

Huh? 2012 tax year still current for NVC and the IV Units, until after 15 April 2014.

What's up ?

'receive return from IRS' - that's 2 or 3 weeks electronically, or 8 to 10 weeks if a paper return. IF she is relying on tax year 2013 data, she needs to send a full copy of the return, all of the stuff she submitted to the IRS, and NOT anything else. She's already submitted stuff to the IRS for TAx Year 2013, so she will submit a full copy of what she sent in to the IRS.

She made copies, right? If electronic, she can reprint from the provider's software, easily.
