NVC May 2010 Edition!

[LoveRani 1]

Thank you! I can't wait for you to get yours, too. Not too much longer at all.

Hello people. Just thought I'd write this - SYDNEY CONSULATE ROCKS. Received my interview date. It is June 1st!!

The universe is listening. We are hoping if my visa is approved that I would leave here in July. So, the timing's perfect because I have to give 4 weeks notice at work.

TheBears - Your welcome. I hope its not too much longer

Deb+Steve - Congratulations on getting your interview date :dance:

Side note: Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooo May, hehe

10 business days from the date your package was delivered to NVC's mailroom.

So scared we are going to miss that May 7 cut-off!

The package arrived this past Monday, but this time they were fast and the AVR shows it received already and the operator says its under review.

I was feeling a little hopeful... after it took 2 weeks for them to even open the 230 package! Thought maybe they might move a little faster with just one paper!

After they FINALLY opened the 230, they had it finished within 2 days and 3 operators told me the original marriage contract was all I needed to send.

Just hoping luck would be on our side for the first time in this process and I would see my husband in June for the interview!

I hope you do make the May 7 cut-off! There is a good chance you will!

Thanks sachinky! And best of luck at your interview!

Congratulations to everyone who got their dates this week!

From some of the times on the posts I have seen on here, it looks like NVC is working around the clock (but we know better)!

[sachinky 465]

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 in your packages.

5) Mail your DS230 package to your USC spouse as soon as you get your NOA2. That way he/she can overnight it to NVC as soon as the IV bill clears.

6) Get your taxes, employment letter, paystubs, PCCs, civil documents etc. while you wait for the NOA2.

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.

8-10 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!

Regarding the AOS package:

First thing, I would recommend is that you print out the I-864 form and read the instructions about 2 times. Mark out the relevant portions and ask any questions you might have after that. I would suggest you read the guides for a comprehensive idea about how the AOS packet will comprise.

Recommended AOS package:

I-864 Coversheet (with barcode) for payment of $70

Form I-864 (signed and dated)

2009 Federal Tax Return/W2 and 1099s or IRS tax transcript.

2008 Federal Tax Return and W2 and 1099s or IRS tax transcript.

2007 Federal Tax Return/W2 and 1099s or IRS Tax Transcript

Letter of Employment

Pay stub(s) from the most recent six months

Bank Statements.

Remember, the USC petitioner will file a I-864 regardless of income. If your joint sponsor lives in the same household as the petitioner, then they will use I-864A. If they live in a separate residence, then they will fill in another I-864.

For your joint sponsor you will need proof of their citizenship/residency. For household member, you will need proof of relationship and same household/residence.

I see everyone is very excited in here, I'm so happy to see everyone in here are happy. This gives me hope for my interview. Which is a way to go for my interview in Addis i'm still on NVC.

[TheBears 9]

Good morning, everyone!

kari when your hubby will go to his medical..how it works over there??

He's going on Friday. It's all the same day. He'll get a physical, an x-ray, and they're draw blood. He has the lab results to prove his immunity to MMR and varicella. He got his Hep A and a Td booster, and he'll bring the forms showing that. So he shouldn't have to get any other immunizations. He'll sit in a hospital that is more like a hotel for 3 hours and come out holding an x-ray film, a sealed medical report, and a copy of the medical report. Easy!

Congrats! You deserve it, being so patient and super helpful to everyone

Thank you, Ma'am. I'm so jealous of you getting to be with your husband like that.
