NVC Filers - February 2012

[Saylin 1,605]

Hope you had a nice week-end!

I did, thanks!

Just called NVC and a gentlemen told me that they received my case but is not processed yet. How long does it take for them to assign a NVC#? I was told to call back between 02/28 and 03/13. I'm planning to call this afternoon and check again.

NVC is running hot, LIKE that.

Lately, it's been taking about 1-3 weeks from NOA2 to get a case number assigned. I've got a feeling you'll get your case number assigned this week

It's not a HUGE problem, but it's recommended to make a copy of everything you send in so you have copies for your records.

Did you see my tax question? my wife filed tax as single this 2011. She was told to do so by the local office. As reason they told her as the husband is not yet in the US she can file single.

Yes, I saw it, but many other people replied with good responses. Your wife is legally MARRIED. It does NOT matter whatsoever where you are (whether in the US or not), she is still MARRIED. Filing single is NOT okay.

Ok but i can not amend now it will delay the process. As to prevent impact on visa issuance we have some plans:

a) have her attend the interview, with doctor recommendaton, just to show to CO that our relationship is real. I hope i do not have my interview in june as she will be 8 months and i saw on some website that they allow pregnant woman to get to airplan until 7 months

b) she will be talking to her bank so that they could find a way to add my name or have a letter stating that i will be added once i arrive the US.

What else do you think i could do as good points in CO eyes.

Did you send both AOS and IV PKG in the same package, right?

I only send IV package as my AOS is not ready yet. I am waiting for our joint sponsor final document ( bank statement and Tax transcripts )

As to adding you to her account, you cannot do that until you're here and have an SSN. I would have added my wife already if I could.

What else could be done, how about health insurance, or a letter stating i will be added once i arrive the US?

Health insurance should be possible. I added Sue as soon as I got back from the trip when we got married. As to the letter, I'm not sure that would really carry any weight. All it says is that something might be done in the future, not that anyone is obligated to do it. It isn't as if it carries any legal weight.

Of course, it also isn't likely to hurt either. The way I look at the tax thing is this. Filing together is a huge plus. However, if someone is led astray by HR Block or someone like that and they file as single it is probably a negative. I doubt it would result in a denial by itself, unless the case was otherwise pretty weak. It would seem to be that it is one of those things that may cause them to look closer at your case than they otherwise would have. You will probably have to have an answer if they ask why it is that way.

It usually comes down to having an answer and believable explanation for their questions.

Rujby,

What do you mean by it will delay the process?

I just amended it at the same Tax service place and got it in less than 15 min and so i will send the updated 1040X transcript to NVC when i get to NVC.

I know i will get returns a little late but at least i'll have an Amended 1040X Transcript which will show Married Filing Jointly.

I don't understand what delay you are talking about.
