NVC Scheduling Interview Date for April 2009

[queuedup 1]

My wife went to VFS office today to submit her paperwork and I can finally say we are done with paperwork. Now countdown begin for interview on March 30th.

FYI, I was successful in converting K3 to CR1 since my file was already at the consulate. On march 30th consulate will process cr1 visa instead of K3.

Congrats buddy!!! Did she go to the Ahmedabad VFS office? And was the interview letter from NVC all that she needed?

Q,

Yes, she went to ahmedabad VFS office and she submitted following documents.

NVC appointment letter (3 copies)

biographic page including copy of pcc stamp by passport office in her passport (2 copies)

2 2x2 photographs

394 rupees

After submitting following documents, person that works at VFS office asked her for DS230 part1 and part2 but then later he said "oh you already submited that form with NVC" you are good to go. Then they gave her receipt for fees as well as recepit for the documents she submited. They also stick barcode at back of her passport.

Just to be on safe side always keep all documents with you when you go to VFS office because you never know what they want.

Good luck!

Cool Thanks!! Its a good thing I sent my wife 4 copies of the NVC appointment letter

I will have her go get the copies of the biographic photo pages and the pcc stamp in her passport ready.

My last issue at this point is how to file my taxes for 2008. If I file an extension will it be a problem??

Thanks for the info!!!

I say if you know you will get refund back then you can file anytime but if you owe IRS money then april 15th is last day to file.

Can anyone please advise me what should I do?

I send DS 230 without attaching any original documents. After few days I called them to find out the status. They told me that NVC has completed your review and need all original documents. So I requested to send RFE on email/mail. Since one (1) month I am waiting for that RFE and requested several times since then. There is no response.

Can any please advise me what should I do? Should I send all documents with cover letter and “Print copy of online bill payment cover letter”

I would really appreciate your advise

Thanks in advance

Have you called NVC and asked to speak to a supervisor? Just play dumb and say, I was asked to send the originals, but don't i need to send it with some sort of Checklist or barcoded sheet?

You need to call NVC and ask for specific information on what they needed from you, once you know what they want you can create RFE barcode coversheet by following "james shortcut" instruction on how to create one. Then you can mail out. I did the samething and case completed without any problem.

Good luck!

I already have the bill payment bar code. do I still need to use RFE bar code from James Software??

I mean can I send all original documents along with bill payment cover sheet, will it work??

I am not sure if that barcode will work or not because I haven tried it, but I know for sure if you use the RFE barcode coversheet from James shortcut it will work.

I am not completely sure but I think the purpose of the RFE barcoded sheet is to make sure NVC attaches it to the correct file. The bill payment barcode may be enough but you might also want to create a cover letter listing what you are sending and why. Make sure you have copies of everything you send them. Good luck!

Anyone else have any advice?

I am also looking for some advise on similar 2008 tax filing situation as to if I should file extension or do it now? I don't expect a refund, but thats not the issue. Will the embassy request this since our interview is after 4/15? Mind you I have provided 05,06,07 tax transcripts. Anyone, any thoughts? Thanks

Since you mentioned you are not expecting any refund back from IRS so this will put you into april 15th deadline or getting extension. so my suggestion to you is go ahead and file your 2008 tax return or extention because consulate might very well ask for one sinces its after 15th of april.

[robbyrob 2]

So if I file an extension, will the embassy hold the visa after interview or not approve it until a return is furbished or will the filed tax extension give a exemption for the return if asked? Thanks

If you provide copy of filed extention they will issue visa. They cant hold or not apporve visa because you havent file tax return for 2008. As long as they know you have filed extention you should be in good hand.
