NVC January 2010 Edition!!

because sometimes...they don't even look at the file for good 2 weeks at NVC maybe even longer...if you get RFE..you sent them what they need...they have to work on the file..when they receive what they needed...same with USCIS.....

hi and, Good luck!!

Why a good thing sometimes?

Hey lashbanda don't worry it will be there monday i just have that feeling

@ gpmaan2 do not send anything until they ask for it it will throw you off course so bad but lets start at step 1: once you pay the AOS bill and it shows PAID online you print the cover sheet and send the AOS PACKET and its the same for the IV BILL they will not send you the cover sheet just the forms for the DS-230

@ MQ i have decided to wait for the checklist for missing docs my hubby and i just don't want any more RFE's

@DWM you are still one of us! and i have to rollover to february with you

Hello everybody here on VJ. Sorry I am so busy gathering all the proofs I needed for my interview so I did not often looking here on VJ. Any good news here?

I just want to say Hello to And_Sam , MQ, Metro and Ms. Sheka.

Ms. Sheka sorry to hear about the RFE. I hate RFE's I got 2 RFE before one for USCIS and one for NVC.

I wish all the luck to all have February interview "Month of the HEART" GOODLUCK everyone and GOD BLESS

Hello Myracle!!! Are ya ready for your big day???? Gosh, yours is coming up so quickly!!! Ok, you will be one of the first approvals in the month of February!!! You are going to be leading off the pack of us!!!

Keeps us posted now!!

[And_Sam 44]

Good luck everyone.....MQ, mssheka, and sam......

mq, msshka....rfe are good sometimes...hehe

my case still not at NVC...8 days already...

Thanks Lash!!!

Don't worry, your case will be there soon!!! I think mine took close to 2 weeks...give or take a day This is the time you use to get all the paperwork together so you will have them when they ask for them!!!

I had my husband fill out the ds-230 while I was waiting and print it out and sign the first page so I would have it by the time they wanted it sent in...

Good luck and God speed through NVC!!!

Hi guys! and Hi Ms. Sheka

So excited about this stage, its so challenging

BTW, I just have a quick question when will NVC email the IV fee bill and DS-230 package online? Is this after the AOS packet is received and processed? Or will they automatically send it once the AOS bill and DS3032 is returned to them?

And did your spouse/relative sent the DS230 form directly to NVC? Or did they send it to you guys to double check the documents?

Welcome to the NVC stage of your journey GP!

Once your case gets to the NVC, call the phone number and listen to the AVR to see if your case has been assigned a case number, then talk to a live OP and give them your email address and your SO. You will get the ds-3032 email first to establish the agent for the case. After that you can start to log in on the website and thats where you can see when things are available. After they accept the ds-3032, the AOS payment will be available to pay online.

I think that was the order we did it...

Look at the guide for the NVC, it pretty much spells it out for you!! And use James Shortcut, that is the best way of doing it!!

My spouse sent all his documents and his ds-230 straight to me. It's easier to track it if it is mailed from the US instead of his country. In fact, alot of stuff gets held up in customs or lost completely. Ask MQ about that....

[And_Sam 44]

Hello all ... yayay ... finally here. Or maybe I will have to join Feb NVCer's ... we'll see.

YAY!!! Welcome to NVC level!!!

Hey!

Could someone please help me out with what supporting documents are required for the AOS-package?

I read somewhere the taxtranscripts are enough but I would love it if someone could varify that. (If it's true)

So if they are enough I would only need those,the employment letter and the last 6 months of paystubs?

If not, I would also have to send in tax returns and W2´s?

I feel a little lost already,haha!

I hope you get your RFE´s sorted out quick,it's awful you got the wrong info from the operator!!

That's why I'm being a little obsessiv about the I-864 supporting documents..

Take care guys.

[And_Sam 44]

Also regarding the Ds-230 packet, did you guys had your spouse/relative complete this form along with the required documents even before you obatian the case # at NVC ? Im looking at your timelines and it looks like most of you have mailed the DS 230 the very next day. Does this mean we only had to attach the barcode provided in the e-mail to another DS-230 form completed by my wife overseas?

Im such a noob

Don't worry about that!!! We are all noobs on one level or the other!!!!!

Hey that is how we have to be!!!

Yes if you turn in the transcripts you got from the IRS, then you don't need to turn in the W2s and 1099s. I sent in the last 3 years of transcripts, letter of employment and last 6 months paycheck stubs. But, I made copies of the actual 1040s, W2s, and 1099s for my husbands inteview. Only because they may ask for them...

Thank you for your fast reply!

That´s what we are planning on doing aswell,taking the extra documents along to the interview. Along with this years (2009) W2´s, since I'm hoping and praying to have an interview before april.

Thank you so much again,it put my mind at ease for now!

Take Care!

You're welcome!! Ha, you just caught me online trying to see what I missed since I went to bed last night!!!!

Yeah, I think I am going to do my taxes early this year, only because I am sure they will ask for last year taxes.....better have them done instead of giving them another reason to delay us..

BTW, approxmately, how long does it take before NVC receives our case? My NOA2 was sent I believe on 01/20/10. I called today ( I know its realy early btw lol) and I was told by the operator it could take up to 90 days? I was like WTH????!!!

True,we sent in forms requesting a ITIN for me to file jointly (I think) so it's taking a little while for them to process that.

I wouldn't say my area of experties is american taxes so I pretty much just go along with what my husband tells me,haha!

I'm trying to stay on top of the immigration-stuff though! With the help of all of you awesome people here on VJ!!

I tried finding some stuff last night to,but I think I was way to tired to understand anything,haha! I'm glad I caught you!

Take Care!
