The NVC October Moral Support/Ranting Thread

[EOC 440]

Well i got a case complete today. my last scan date was 8/22/14. i submitted an aos on 8/8/14 with my old A number, i realized this and resubmitted a new aos and iv documents on 8/18/14. the iv documents had the aos cover sheet with just ATTN DR. i submitted I 864 instead of I 864EZ and left everything that did not apply to me blank.

Congratulations. Am so happy for you.

Austin, I called your right so I just paid $100 for three pages to be translated and they are certified to do immigration etc and will have it in 24 hours so they say.

Thank you Austin my dear friend, if not for you it would have cost me so much time. I sit here crying in gratitude for your thoughtful kindness.

Yes Betsy said to just send it the way it was, so much for Betsy. No worries it will only cost me two to four days not 60 like it would have if not for you.

Hey guys!

We just got a checklist from ours AOS...the form itself is fine, but hubby thought that only W2 was necessary, and didn't include the transcripts.

I'd kill him, but my love is too big for that (it would kill me too).

So, instead he's putting himself together and sending right now the transcript. Is it ok to send just a copy?

We're trying to be focused...I was so sure I'd be there for thanksgiving...but prayers for a Christmas miracle!!!

By the way the SOB's did scan my package today. My parents marriage certificate is very old and it's not translated it's in Castellano/Spanish so I hope the fools accept it since they have a ton of people there that speak the language.

I don't mean to scare you, but according to http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/submit/documents-to-submit-to-nvc.html, it states the below:

All documents not written in English, or in the official language of the country in which application for a visa is being made, must be accompanied by certified translations and submitted to the NVC.

Since your embassy/consulate is in Egypt, no translation is required as long as it's in English or Arabic (but not in Spanish) since it'll be sent to the embassy/consulate in Egypt.

Maybe you asked Betsy (supervisor) and she said it was okay to send it as is.

Good call Austin, and glad you remedied the situation quickly Soloenta. You would have gotten another checklist, most probably. Your VJ friends would rather give you tough love than keep silent

Now, borrow Austin's fake tears (or use real ones) and try to nudge Betsy into forgoing the 60-day wait to review the certificate/translation.

My NOA2 was October 3rd - I been calling the past 2 days - and nothing but angry operators basically telling me to "f off till 4-5 weeks" - is this normal? I thought it was just 2-3 weeks for the transition from USCIS to NVC?

So a couple September cc on the other thread. Praying next week to be my week

I'm glad I mentioned it to you since I thought it was better to be safe than sorry.

Sorry to hear that you got a checklist.

I thought all transcripts were copies? Ours doesn't have any original signatures, stamps, or seals.

Thanks for being so nice and solidary dear. Yeah, all transcripts are copies, but we didn't send it!! He sent his w2, but not transcript. So now, let's wait...the package will be there Monday morning. The good thing is that we were waiting to hear from NVC only on November (after the 60 days) but we heard now, exactly a month before. So I can't and I won't complain.

Hi everyone

Don't know what I was thinking believing that I might get a CC last week. NVC seem to be all over the place with their dates although I am, of course, happy for everyone who gets a CC. I am hoping next week will be our week. This will still put us in line for a December interview.

Have a great weekend my friends. I am off to do some gardening and try and put NVC at the back of my mind for a couple of days.

Love to you all.

Xx

Awww sweet heart are you sure? Can you copy and paste it here for us to see just remove all personal things. I'll be praying it's not true.

Yes I'm so thankful to Austin and I'll take tough love any day of the week. Oh you know I would have had to wait another 60 days for sure. Betsy told me to send it just like that and when I talked to her I was hysterical, I can't believe my reaction so humiliating and I can't do fake. Plus how much more real could I get and I asked her can't you let us take the paper work corrected to the Embassy and she resoundingly said NO we can't expedite your case at this point. Shes a total loss. There is no one there to help me. Anyway I'm very grateful. (L)

So sorry about the checklist. Hope you send in the correction ASAP.

It can take several weeks. You should call NVC again before the end of next week.

So a couple September cc on the other thread. Praying next week to be my week

Fingers crossed for you sweetheart. Praying you hear good news next week.

I actually cried when Jim told me about the dreaded checklist. Was super happy when it was rectified.

Am so glad you had it fixed. Fingers crossed for you sweetheart. All this nightmare will surly come to an end soon. You are still in my prayers.

They are all over the place indeed... as far ahead as Sep 12 in scans reviewed !!! I hope you're not relying solely on ceac, as there are several members who got CC without ceac changing... so call every now and then.

Thanks for that. You are right I do keep checking the CEAC website but I know people sometimes get a CC without it changing. I will call them on Monday.
