Non-issue. The consulate it is going to sees that birth certificate all the time. NVC doesn't approve anything, just checks correct and completed.

Trust me people, you'd rather have issues with the NVC and their 30 business days than with your consulate or embassy where a correction could take MONTHS!

In this email, NSC said that my case and all supporting documents were forwarded to NVC on April 7. On April 7, I called NVC and they said my case has been arrived at their office but not entering to system yet. Where is the truth? Edited April 13, 2014 by anly8872

While you guys are at it, I give you guys permission to scan my package too. As long as I get a Case Complete, I do not care who signs it.

NVC will take 4 to 6 weeks to enter your case into their system and will be able to give you a Case # and IIN. Maybe after 2 weeks you should start calling them to find out if the Case# is available. Meanwhile, why not enter your info in the form so it goes into the spreadsheet that Ms Saylin is maintaining (read post 1 in this thread).

BTW you have a beautiful baby. Our love to her.

Also, India birth certificate her birthdate is like Date/Month/year. (03/12/1991)

In USA we have Month/Date/Year. ( 12/03/1991)

Is it okay to have this complicated date in BC?

hi,i have the same format in my birth certificate dd/mm/yyyy so when it comes to filling US documents i use the format mm/dd/yyyy and no complications at all.

Hence using your example it becomes 12/03/1991

Thanks! My son 4 months old today .

I know NVC will takes 4-6 weeks to enter cases to system. The funny thing is NSC said case was forwarded to NVC on APRIL 7. NVC confirmed to me case was received on April 7 that is the day NSC shipped out my case??????????(the date in an email I received today). And I got another message from NSC on April 1 and my case status now is "

On April 1, 2014, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly."

That made my confused .........

your case probably got put in the batch to be sent to the NVC on the 1st. The 7th is probably when the batches were actually sent. They send batches at all different times. whenever they want.. it might be weekly, bi-weekly every few days.. who knows. NVC receives mail all day long... if you call in the morning and your case isn't there yet, you should call again in the evening.

We were lucky... it only took 11 days for our case to be received and assigned a case number. Getting a case number the same day really helped us fly through.

GOOD LUCK.

Yes, your answers are believable. But why NVC said they have received my case when I called them? I called on April 7 afternoon. Did they just said " we have received your case but it doen't enter to the system......"to finish my call? Edited April 13, 2014 by anly8872

Hi. Can we schedule an interview date prior to getting a case complete status?

The embassy only wants an appointment letter and DS260 confirmation.. We completed our DS 260 on the 8th.

They don't mention about a case complete status in this doc.

While you are there could you kindly stamp "case complete" on my packets.

They will be easy to spot. They have the expedite fee clipped on top
