NVC March 2010 Edition!

[Kevin-n-Merlaine 14]

I've been very stressed this weekend. Dealing with my joint sponsor who is now refusing to send his copy of his AOS package (with 2009 tax returns) to me for the interview since he's already sent them in to NVC. He's citing "privacy concerns" regarding his "confidential information." He wants official confirmation before he sends any "irrelevant or unnecessary paperwork" my way.

#######. I don't know what to do anymore.

Any ideas?

Sachi, I really don't think it's absolutely necessary for you to have copies with you is it? I know NVC will be forwarding all that to your embassy for the interview. I'd feel better having them too but I don't think you HAVE to have them since they already will.

You're right, Kevin. The only I'm REALLY worried about is the 2009 taxes. Those weren't sent to NVC. And most consulates have been asking for them since March.

Yah, that is true. By the time of your interview, the 2009 tax year will be over and therefore they might ask for it. Can you explain to the co-sponsor that 2008 income wont be the most current tax year at the time of the interview and therefore.. oh jeez. I've made myself

I agree with Natalia - being a cosponsor is more than signing a paper and providing docs- its cooperation as well! Why agree to be a cosponsor if you can't follow thru with the process? We will just wait for the email to show that its required.

... i hear you sister. I hear you. Its the most draining thing imaginable.

Sachi, I was wondering.... If you think you will be in trouble since you don't have the 2009 tax returns, why don't you ask him to send it direct to the Embassy? I read somewhere that this is possible. He could write the case number and all that stuff and make a cover letter explaining what is it for.

What do you think?

I sent our I-864 package and DS230 package off today, overnight via the post office. Guaranteed to be there by noon tomorrow.

They never sent anything to me or my husband via snail mail. All HE got was an email saying that they were waiting for the I-864 & DS230 packages to be sent in...?

I took that as my cue to send them in...

Thats a good idea Nat. Put the cosponsor at ease and get the docs there (needed or not)

Perfect! No need for a cue. Heads up, both go to seperate departments, so as they finish with your AOS package, they will more than likely issue you a false RFE indicating that they are waiting for the DS230. Strange little glich that freaks people out.

Yep... that strange little glich, almost cause me a little heart attack.... Don't forget about the whole "we received your biographic information" then the next day they decide they did not receive it....

So they received my DS-230 package on 17th, its the 29th today and they still have not entered it in the system.... I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO PISSED OFF..... How long does it f***ing take to carry a freaking package from a mailroom to the person who reviews it???

Anyways I was told to give them a call at the end of the week to see if they are reviewing it yet....

I called them too & got no info really. Was told they received my packets but give 2-4wks to process.

[sachinky 465]

Hmm, that is GOOD idea--I'm certain he will not have issues with that.

Is this possible? Really? I thought people couldn't mail things directly to the consulate--just by fax.

Or in the case of India, through VFS--which is sort of like a middle-man visa facilitating service.

I will definitely look into this tomorrow. Call as soon as the Consulate opens.
