NVC April 2010 Edition!

[darkangel1215 4]

Hubby called NVC and He learned that interview date slots for May for the Philippines is already full so we would get our interview date by the 2nd week of May an will be in June slot. I'm not sure if this applies to any other countries . I dont want to feel bad about this, I just want to think that we have more time to gather documents for the interview. And do more activities with family while I'm still here .

Hey everyone - I'm back...hubby ordered the divorce certificate that he should have ordered 3 months ago when I first told him about it. He should have it by Monday...then he'll send it to New Hampshire - question is this: Are we going to be able to send it to NVC overnight or is it going to have to be delivered via steam-ship due to no flights because of that damned volcano...?

Yep - it figures, just when we need to get a document sent via airmail as quickly as possible - mother nature intervenes to make our journey that much more difficult - I swear, when is ANYTHING in this process going to go our way?

With our luck, it would be sent on a ship, which would in turn hit an iceberg...

awesome! glad to know he got his butt in gear (see told you he would!). i will be flying to bangalore, india tommorrow AM to see my sweetie. i'm flying emirates which takes a southern flight path (along the equator) from jfk into dubai direct, so it doesnt go anywhere near that stupid volcanic ash. nonetheless i'm of course tracking the thing and hope it doesnt blow southwards for at least 24 hrs (or at least anywhere near the path of emirates)! wish me luck!

so i'll be out for a week or so, unless i can log in...

basically at this point, i'm looking at hopefully an early june interview. going by what vivekjay got (his CC was on march 20th and he got a may 4th interview). so my CC was on the 14th, which should put me nearly at the top of the line for chennai. it would just be really nice to know when the stupid date is prior ahead of time. maybe i'll call them when i'm in india...

Best of luck to all of you inn the mean time! christi, your SIF should be next week, so no worries. yup easier said than done!

the SOF/CC list is getting so small. At least that's a positive sign from the NVC or maybe it means that we need some newbies

Speaking of newbies. My I-130 was finally approved this past week. How long is NVC taking to assign case #?

You should have your case# by mid to end of the week. Have you called NVC?

[Hluv82 0]

Yes, still nothing. I will wait for a few more days. It won't be as bad as waiting 5+ long months to get the I-130 approved.

you might have seen this sachinky's post already...well I always look at this and follow the steps... good luck

Pay attention, non-EP NVC noobs. Here's Christeen's time tested formula to get you through NVC in one piece alive:

Petitioner: Get NVC # + give operator your email IDs + receive AOS fee bill + pay 70$ online + wait to show paid + print cover sheet + send I-864 AOS with all documents and case # written on each page.

Beneficiary: Get NVC# + receive DS3032 + send DS3032+ DS3032 accepted + IV fee bill available to be paid + pay & wait to show paid + print IV cover sheet + mail DS230 package with all original/certified documents

= wait for case complete + wait for interview to be scheduled.

Suggestions:

1) Have the beneficiary mail SIGNED extra DS230s to you so that you have them handy in case something goes wrong. Or you get hit by a dreaded RFE.

2) If you just received your NOA2, THIS is the time to get your tax stuff and police certificates sorted out. Don't waste time on this.

3) Double check the PCC requirements in the regional forums as they are country specific.

4) Check the pinned STUPID RFEs thread in IR-1/CR-1 forum before sending out your packages.

Currently the # of business days NVC is taking:

3-4 days for NVC to receive your case and assign a case #.

3-4 days to receive emailed links after case # has been assigned and email addresses been given to NVC operator.

1-2 days for the AOS bill to show as PAID.

1-3 days for DS3032 to be accepted.

1-2 days for IV bill to be PAID.

8-11 days for case complete after all your documents have been sent in.

Folks--please make sure your official VJ timelines are up to date. Remember this is our only source of predictions. Thankyou!

hi Newbie,

I did not wait on the NVC, I called the number off hours, and put my case number for the USCIS and the AVR gave me the case number.
