NVC April 2010 Edition!

[Jaxson 0]

Alicia, one of the Thai girls was going for K3/K4 and had to switch, too. Not the case for you, but still similar.

Here's her steps:

1. Send in I-130 and G-325A for the son.

2. Follow usual USCIS waiting and online case status checks.

3. Get NOA2.

4. Get case number from NVC.

5. Follow all the usual NVC #######.

6. Get an interview for the son. Have Dad attend, too. You, too, if they let USCs attend interviews. Mom will have to sign some paper saying she's allowing the son to permanently leave the country to reside in the US with his father. Or Dad has to show legal proof of sole custody. Even then, Mom may be required to sign papers. These papers are submitted with the DS-230 and again at the interview.

7. Family is reunited to live together happily ever after.

The End.

I'll call her in the morning and see what else I'm missing. Good news: USCIS approvals are taking about 2 months now. Plus 2-3 to get through NVC. Visa in 5 months. He may be able to come here at the same time as Dad, provided Dad's CR-1 hasn't expired yet. Yay!

and Alicia, if the mom is ok with it, you can have your husband come up and then he could fly back down to JA later on when his son needs to go to the embassy. I heard that a whole bunch of ####### is going on at the embassy in Kingston but it should not affect immigrant visas. The problem is as tiny as Jamaica is, they process thousands of cases per year. I'm not sure if you heard, but they even opened up a second embassy in Montego Bay.

Going out of my mind hoping for SIF by tomorrow!

mrs. wife do you know if the I864 needs to be notarized?

Christi and Ian, we are on the same situation as you. AVR says docs received 4/2/2010 still waiting for SIF

Okay, well I'll do my little "SIF's all around" voodoo dance before bed tonight...

Seriously, something in this process has just got to go our way for once!

Hobokenworkingman also has our same documents received date. I know it's not likely, but I've nearly worn out the computer mouse for all of the refreshes I did on that NVC website today.

I'm rather new to these forums if anyone can help.

I just got of the phone with NVC and they are saying AOS was accepted but that they will be sending an email with other required docs. I have no idea what it might be as i could swear i sent everything in.

DS-230 Application for Immigrant Visa.

well can't be because i sent both the AOS and IV the same day, and the AOS has already been accepted.

[Christi and Ian 24]

My bad - you only mentioned AOS, so I figured it hadn't been sent yet - no RFE letter/email?

Did you happen to send both in the same package? I've been told that can result in a false RFE.

it is very common for them to process the AOS first. This is a false RFE, you'll see

As a matter of fact i sent them in different packages but the same day to avoid any mix up.

I really hope it's just a false RFE.. could not think of what else it could be.

based on your timeline, either tonight or tomorrow you should SIF. I know what you are going through.I couldn't stop checking the site. Funny thing is that on the day of the approval, I checked every hour like twice per hour. I decided to go out to dinner with my mother and was not even thinking about it then after dinner I checked and SIF! So step away a bit and see what happens.

I'm going to have to concede to Jaxson above - AOS processed first, and they just haven't finished the IV package yet - more than likely a false RFE - I wouldn't worry - check again in a couple of days.
