Yes i will read them thanks again saylin! Got a problem regarding my sister-inlaw which happen to be my husbands joint sponsor. she insisted that we still need to receive a hardcopy for instructions before she sign and completes the I-864 form..

I think I'll have to wait for a hardcopy of instructions as well, anyone know where I can find that information online somewhere?

I need this process to go as fast as possible...

Also, anyone know what happened to the Automated Response part of calling the NVC?

NVC doesn't re-review packages. Once they review a package and find something wrong, they'll issue a checklist and move onto other cases.

The only way a package will be re-reviewed without receiving the checklist response is if a supervisor pulls it.

So you have two choices: send the checklist response or request a supervisor to review it for themselves. In your case, it'd probably be a lot faster to just send in the required documents. A supervisor review can take quite awhile (week or two, or more).

I checked my email they didn t issue the checklist email. I was just wondering if they will wait on monday or have found the paper they reported missing

I'm sorry I think I misinterpreted your post. If you have the marriage certificate already, then that's all the NVC needs. However, if you want to be more prepared, it wouldn't hurt for him to register his marriage in Spain just in case this comes up in the interview (I doubt it). The empadronamiento does require proof of your marriage if he wants to obtain the certificate de fe y estado. However, NVC doesn't require this document.

thank you for the reply so much, i was just going by what the country reciprocity schedule says is needed for the ds 230: here it is:

Documents

All public records are issued under the signature and seal of the competent authority, and usually bears stamps in the appropriate amount. Documents must be stamped in order to be valid in Spain, but are not always stamped when intended for use in a foreign country.

Birth Certificates

Available. Birth certificate "Certificado de Nacimiento" may be obtained from the Juzgado Municipal of the district of birth. In the Madrid area contact the Registro Civil Unico, Calle Pradillo 66, Madrid 28002.

Civil Status Certificates

Available only to persons who are registered in a census (empadronamiento)." Certificado de Fe de Vida y Estado" is requested from the Registro Civil of the applicant's domicile.

Marriage Certificates

Available. "Certificado de Matrimonio" may be obtained from the Juzgado Municipal of the district of residence. In the Madrid area contact the Registro Civil Unico, Calle Pradrillo 66, Madrid 28002.

Divorce Certificates

Available. "Certificado de Divorcio" may be obtained from the Juzgado Municipal of the district of residence. In the Madrid area contact the Registro Civil Unico, Calle Pradillo 66, Madrid 28002.

Police Record

i am refering to the bold requirement above, we got married in Miami so we have an american certificate. my husband is freaking out because it still says single for the empadromiento and he says he cannot get the fe de vida without my being there with him to swear in the marriage. but he hasn't checked. i assume our marriage certificate is enough proof no?

You're making a mistake here, the Reciprocity by Country page is NOT the list of documents needed for the DS230. It is basically a list of existing civil documents and how to obtain them, but nowhere does it say which document is needed for what visa application. This page is not for immigrant visas only.

Also, anyone know what happened to the Automated Response part of calling the NVC?

You can find the I-864 instructions here: I-864 Instructions.pdf If they want a "hard copy" print it for them.

All forms and instructions for this process can be found online.

The AVR has been down pretty much all month. It's a bummer.

Yeah you are and I"m going nuts waiting for my invoice!!!! lol :)

It's like USCIS, there's no rhyme or reason why some cases are rushed out the door and others have to wait a few extra days.

I thought maybe it goes by priority date.. but if that was the case I'd been in and out of NVC in a flash since mine is June 16th. USCIS decided to take their sweet time with our approval, we decided to wait and get an IR-1 instead of the CR.. I'm in no rush now, even though I can pull the expedite rabbit out of my hat.

I've learned to just go with the flow.. desismileys_3409.gif

Grats on your recent NOA2.

And you can't do what you're suggesting. NVC has to receive an ORIGINAL DS-230 from the beneficiary, not a scanned version. You should get your husband to sign/date the DS-230 asap and send it to you asap so you aren't waiting long.

And no, the form is NOT expired. The expiration date you see on the top right doesn't refer to the form being expired, it's for the OMB. Read post 2 here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/80942-ds-230-is-expire-today/

Thank you. I scanned the form for him 2 months ago and last week he signed it and sent the ORIGINAL in the mail to me. you siad the form doesn't expire so im in good shape. Thank you. Looking forwd to you April Forum.

wow... 197 pages... 40 or more new since I really read it. No way I'm catching up... :lol:

There's an option to change the 'posts per page' - mine is set at 50.

I also turn off graphics and signature file area, so that reduces the fluff coming across the pipe.

(It's nice, really)

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Saylin i spoke the a supervisor she did not go through the document she was just reading what was on the system, she was not really being. It is like i was speaking to an operator. I thought she would go to our document and take time to look into the papers. Unfortunately, they say they will send us a checklist to inform us to which address to send the proof of citizenship. The good news is : it is the only thing they need from us. We were gonna have a CC today as predicted if it they didn t lose that paper

The supervisor cannot see your physical casefile,

however, an NVC supervisor CAN request a new 'eyeball review' of the documents that were sent.

You have to ask for this.

On the supervisor's screen, is a list of documents that another human found/reviewed in the first level sort.

That 'other' human missed the bio pages.

It cannot be printed to PDF either. I tried. It is protected from printing to PDF.

I use FoxIt Reader (not Adobe Acrobat) and print to pdf using CutePDF all the time.

Perhaps you can change yer tools, soonish?

Got my AOS FEE invoice bill today in my email..!! But I need to confirm if my husband can pay online this weekends or need to wait for monday?

once the invoice is in someone's email inbox, NVC online web portal is ready, waiting for the login.

No Need to wait till Monday.

Good Luck !
