NVC March 2010 Edition!

[sachinky 465]

Ok, guys--I have a question. The Husband is starting a new job with a salary that will put him over the 2010 poverty guidelines. Should we have a new I-864 with the accompanying documents for the interview?

Sachi,

Why not? If you're willing to have one more set of papers to go with you on the interview day, then it can be there as a backup just in case.

I don't think you'd need it, though, with your joint sponsor and all. But Husby and I are big fans of "Just In Case" where this visa is concerned. If you don't use it, okay. If you do, kudos to you for having it there.

Have you called them yet?

I have been calling them everyday this week and found out they didnt get to my package till the 2nd. And even though the AVR says the NVC received my documents, the operators still say they cannot see them in the system and that only one of them is being reviewed.

I think I'm going to hold off for today and only call them tomorrow...

No, have not called them in a month. I've only used the AVR. My experience in dealing with government workers in generally is never to rush them or demand them to do things. Human errors can often be traced to intent. I trust systems more so than humans when it comes to following systems of doing things. If I don't get a failed login in about two weeks time I will call for an update.

I'm thinking that the 864 and DS 230 are processed by different people at different stages of the completion process. Thus, I suspect people that send in both together could run into problems with NVC before paperwork can be sorted.

My understanding is that the 864 is processed first, just as the 864 AOS bill was due first. Any other docs in between coulld cause delay in the shuffle. I made sure to send the AOS a week before the DS 230 so that things don't get mixed up.

Just a thought.

I called NVC and an sleepy Operator told me that they received my docuements yesterday ( it was received on Monday) and they are working with the documents...that they take 2-4 weeks to review everything if they need anything they will let me know or if everything is correct they forward it to the embassy..

please somedy translated to me the numbers in bold..for REAL NUMBERS.. in how many days I should know if I have a RFE (Knock on wood) or I can expect to receive a CASE COMPLETE

[sachinky 465]

I'd say 3-5 business days, for CC or RFE. Hoping for the former.

Gina--What does the email say? What do they need? Was it something on his PCC? I know they require court records for whatever is on the PCC, no matter how old it is, someone even had to get them for a traffic violation. I'd send it out with the email RFE. If they don't need it, they'll disregard it and you'll get a case complete. I don't understand what the supervisor is looking into? Either they need it or they don't. Why do they need 10-15 days to figure it out?

This is what the email says.........

_COURT RECORDS:_______________________________________________

Please submit court or prison records indicating the nature of this person's conviction and sentence.

These records should bear the official seal of the issuing authority.

Ridiculously vague. He had a drunk driving ticket 10 yrs ago in London. We submitted the papers from that, the fine he paid and traffic school attendance. There was no jail time etc., We submitted PC's from Albania and the UK. So as far as I'm concerned we have submitted EVERYTHING. I have no idea what the problem is. So that's why a supervisor is "reviewing our documents". My husband seems to think the Albania PC isn't thorough enough, so he sent me a second, more detailed one. But none of the operators at NVC will give me ANY CLUE about what document they are talking about. If I knew it was the Albania PC, I would overnight it, but I am hesitant to confuse the already narrow minded NVC.

so sachi if everything is correct I should expect Case complete for March 10th next wednesday?? I am sure that I wont receive interview for April.. I have check in other forum that Santo Domingo Embassy assigns per example if you complete on January you get your interview on April..but I just want to RELAX and forget about NVC have a case complete ..my husband wants to come on March 17th so I really hope that everything is done by that date so we can enjoy our time without talking about NVC

Today is the 6th business day and the operator is saying it takes 2-4 weeks....

I know where you are coming from and usually it would take 3-5 business days...but I think NVC has slowed down because of the storm

IMO - yes.

Bring it in on Interview Day.

Tell the Document Screener you have updated I-864.

Also mention to the VO there is new I-864 - please review it.

KEEP the co-sponser, though, just in case.

[sachinky 465]

Thanks for the advice. We will do that.

[M&ME 2]

No acknowledgement that the portal page is down, just that they have rec'd my payment and that it takes 3-5 days to process. Also, about my AOS, he said that it's probably just in the mailroom and I should call back tomorrow.

Meh, a lot of non-information.
