We received our NVC case number and invoice number on the 13th, but when I login, it just says "not invoiced". Is this another waiting situation or do I need to prompt NVC to do something so that we can pay our fees?

I'm on B and Current processing site says: NVC

I'm in the A camp Mine says 'Montreal'.

Oh, my! This is crazy, Saylin! And not even accurate: if you're anywhere in the visa "system", wouldn't you be at ELIS?

Wow.

So, to sum up the new CEAC display...

-It does not tell us when/if Case is Complete.

-It does not tell us when/if AOS or IV have been accepted/ approved.

-It does not tell us anything about checklists

-It tells us if NVC received our DS261, DS260...

-Some day it may tell us that NVC received the AOS and IV docs.

-Some time after Case Complete AND interview scheduled the location of file processing changes from the NVC to the embassy/ consulate. So, when we see the embassy there we know case's conplete/ interview was scheduled (but here at VJ we'll probably know that way before that)

So, I guess the best use of the information there is to see if what we submit has been received.

I am in the process of finalizing Aos paperwork & not sure about last year's income. For 2013, my W2 shows $xx,xxx.50 and tax return shows $xx,xxx.00 as it always rounds up or down. Should I put $.50 for 2013 income the way it is on W2 or round it down like it is the tax return? Don't want to get a checklist for something very silly thing like this. Not sure if someone ran into this situation before or have any info? Thanks in advance for your help!

Use the exact figures given on your Federal tax returns, not the W-2s. It's ok they're rounded

Ok great, thank you! Not sure why some people are getting checklist for few cents then? Just makes me nervous when they give hard time for such non-issues

I think it must be an automated computer check that verifies the income figure listed on the I-864 against the IRS database. A W-2 may only be a few cents different before the feds round it for tax purposes, but it's a simple yes/no result for the match, so any wrong amount irrespective of how trivial will get a rejection kicked back The I-864 asks specifically for tax return data, so stick with what's on your transcript and you'll be ok

Well said....it leaves much to be desired....

Hello! A pleasant day to all VJ people! Has anyone tried to reschedule their appointment earlier through ustraveldocs.com/ph . Anyone from Manila? Because I already have an interview date on June 26, scheduled by the NVC. Is it okay to reschedule earlier?

Same thing happened with me, I'm pretty certain it will be there tomorrow or tuesday.

Case number/IIN generated on May 03, IV fee still NOT INVOICED. Is it normal or I need to do something with NVC?

Hi Everyone,

Panicking a bit over here. I provided my 2013 1040 (my Transcript wasn't ready yet) but no W-2's because my employment is foreign. I sent a letter of resignation from my employer here overseas as well as a Letter of Employment Contract for my new job in the USA.

I did not include my pay stubs for my job here and think maybe I should have. Should I send them or wait for a checklist??

Thank you!!!!
