IMO what they are trying to say is expect 6-8 weeks for your package to be attached to your file and THEN they will start reviewing. We went through NVC last year, start to finish, in 19 days despite being told we had to wait 6-8 weeks for processing after submitting documents. Unfortunately recent postings on VJ seem to indicate there is a slow down in case completes.

NVC certaInly does review the file because there have been numerous posts of filers receiving RFEs for AOS issues. That being said the embassy/consulate will review them again and can ask for additional information at that point.

I didn't relax until I had my green card in hand.

Good luck guys!

OBX, Yeah I can see that with what you said here. The Embassy would review everything sent to them for basic completeness and if something jumped out at them they could ask questions of course. Thats GMP. Dang I hope 6-8 weeks is not the case but the clearer we support our claims the better I hope. Well MSD I guess we will just have to WAIT>>> :angry:

I am not employed and have not been for 2 yrs now by choice. I have sufficient resources to easily meet the 3X poverty level requirements but will have to send in Bank and Brokerage house statements to support that claim. I was thinking of blacking out my account # for security reasons. Do you think I will have a problem if I choose to do this. Does the NVC need my account #'s? Any thoughts on this. :unsure::help:

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

Pay the $404 and wait for it to clear. Once it does, print the barcoded letter and send both your packets in.

Hi there I was checking out your timeline and see that you emailed the choice of agent the same day you gave them your email!! I was thinking I had to wait until they generated it and send to hubby!! Ok so then It's correct I cand do that.... doing it right now, so glad hubby is off today HE will do it like right now!!! LOL

How are you doing?

Emily

Yeah that is what I have been told also DO IT NOW> I have been trying to get my wife to send it in for about 3-4 days now. I even put the email together for her. OMG She is killing me softly!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also ask her to cc me on the email and I have not seen anything yet. That means she will not do it till tomorrow because she is not at her work location now and has gone home for the evening.

I have a suggestion... why don't you send it from her email. Log on to her email and send the letter, as long as it's from her email it doesn't matter....

I hear that JD. I just want to get my paper work in before I have to redo my whole package. I have a life outside of this darn thing and its starting to negatively affect it. Once I get the paper work in then they can worry about how bad it looks on thier performance chart, independent of me! :unsure: If it keeps going like this I will need to send in 2010 tax papers and drop off my 2007 transcripts. Starting to wish my wife was from Haiti... :rofl::wacko::blink::bonk: Yeah I guess we are Teya...I guess we are :crying: Boy George I feel your pain...

This is a concern of filers in the ROC forum as well. IMO I would leave it as is. USCIS and NVC have so much information on you already that bank account numbers are the least of it.

We are due to file for removal of conditions in March of 2011 but I have already started to put aside documentation. All of the copies I have of bank statements, credit card statements etc. are going to be sent in with all information visible.

Let us know what you decide. :)

Nica, are you still waiting for case complete? I see that they received your photos quite a while ago. I'm sorry :( Hope the processing picks up again this month.

Yes, sadly, still waiting :( :(

HUGE slowdown at NVC.
