I-130 Progress list

[Raj456 0]

You wont write the NVC number on the DS-230. You will have the Document Cover Sheet that goes with the DS-230 which will have the bar code and also the NVC case number. But you need to write the NVC case number on the Copies of the Originals that you will send along with DS-230.

Your parents need to sign on DS-230 part I only and not on Part II.

Well, honestly I am feeling that my case is starting to falling behind I dont know if it is because of the holiday or what, but I am seeing that your cases are progressing (wich I am happy for u guys) but that I am kind of stuck.

I know I must be patience, but sometimes its impossible jejeje...anyway I remain positive and hoping everyones cases progress ASAP.

Good Luck and blessings...

Well I just called an OP and she told me that, indeed my IV package has been received but it doesnt show in the system that is in review yet I dont know what to think, she said that I the review process may take between 2-4 weeks

Thanks for your help. why do we have to send the originals and copies? did you send your parents ds230 and other doc in one envelop? is that why you need a copy of every original?

thanks

ChinaBabe,

Yes we have to send them Originals and Copies of each Original submitted. I sent in one envelope, placed original first and right after it placed copy of it and did write on the copy as it is a copy of original and the NVC case # on each copy that is not original. I sent both parents cases in one envelope separated each case by a paper clip. Hope this helps. Each set has a cover sheet of its own and the Document Cover sheet and other required documents....

Here is what it is on the travel.state.gov site ( http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html )

Original Document Requirements

The applicant and each family member who will accompany the applicant to the United States will need to submit original documents or certified copies of the documents listed in this section from an appropriate authority (the issuing entity).

Photocopy Requirements

In addition to sending the original documents or certified copies of the documents to the NVC, the applicant and each accompanying family member must submit a photocopy of the original documents or certified copies of the documents.

Robotica97,

They told me the same when i called NVC after the "checklist response received message on AVR". I guess your login should fail in few days and once login is failed you should expect it to complete by another day or two. Check the signatures of mine, mooninlove, Pook to get an idea as when your login will fail once the "checklist reponse....."

I know it is kind of frustrating and it is tensed as i faced and was in similar situation as yours......Hope you will hear good news soon and in no time you will be with your daughter..........

Good Luck! Thanks Raj

Raj,

Thank you so much for answering me, you gave me hope again, yes, specially today, Im starting to get frustated, since I count the days on some of the timelines and compared them to mines, and well adding the response of the OP just made me feel worst. Thanks again for having the time to answering and for your best wishes.

Blessings.

Congrats to those with good news lately!!!

After a small hiccup caused by the NVC's review process, my parents' cases are now at Login Failed.

Wish those who are still in the process all the luck!

[Domi22 0]

Hi all,

The AVR just said this morning that my case was completed yesterday and the operator said I would receive e-mail confirmation and interview appointment later. Finally this journey is almost done...

For those with similar situation (USCIS asked for originals, especially the petitioner's Birth Certificate, then sent them to NVC after case approved by USCIS), here is the lesson I learned from my situation:

1) File Form G-884 Request For The Return of Original Document right after USCIS sent the case to NVC (to make sure they return to the petitioner or confirm it was sent to NVC)

2) "CALL" NVC right after you have a NVC Case No, and request to talk to a supervisor to ask for someone to check your case for the original you want.

I wasted almost 2 months because I trusted what both USCIS and NVC said about the originals I sent to USCIS due to an RFE (original BC and original Petition for Name Change). After case transfered to NVC, I called USCIS and they said everything I submitted would be sent along to NVC, so contact NVC. I called NVC and was told to write to NVC via e-mail about what I want. Three weeks later, I received the very general response: further action is taken, etc...and nothing else after that. Then I called NVC and was told to write an e-mail with title "Attention: PI supervisor named....". Nothing after almost 3 more weeks. By this time I already submitted both I-864 and DS-230 packages. Then shortly after that I received "missing documents" checklist about the Petitioner's original Birth Certificate. I then called NVC and asked to talk to a supervisor named given to me when writing e-mail attention to her. She was very helpful and assigned someone to look into my case file for that document (it took a whole week though) and finally NVC confirmed they found this original in my file. I was lucky it did not get lost even though I asked my parents for another Certified Copy sent to me in case NVC could not find it but it would be much worse if the Petition for Name Change was lost because then I will need to ask for it from the government and you know how long it takes to get it...

Bottom line: I trusted both USCIS and NVC about what they said or told me to do and paid the price of wasting almost 2 months in NVC. I should have been more proactive at the very beginnign when NVC assigned a Case No. Hope my lesson would be beneficial to anyone in a similar situation...

Thanks everyone for help and comfort during this journey.

Cheers for my case completion!
