I have a question. Since my husband is in Syria, we do the electronic processing. His interview will be in Jordan. I was reading their requirements, and they need to have the originals. I do not think that my originals will make it to my husband in Syria with all going on there now. So, I contacted the Jordan embassy. They told me to send all originals to the NVC. If I do send them the originals, will that confuse them, since we do ep? I'm just wondering what to do. Any input?

Did you get an interview date or case completed? that is a very tough question because of the country situation. I would call NVC and check with them. But yeah, I would send the originals (after you call and confirm with NVC), I would think that you can just include the barcoded cover sheet with the originals.

Ask someone in the sub forum in MENA and see if they did the same thing or not.

Why would they issue me a checklist for the IV payment when I CAN'T PAY YET!

silly government...

This is a very normal procedure to issue a false checklist for IV package when AOS has been approved.

They will have it tomorrow before noon. I just call NVC they told me that we do not have an interview yet and that i will have to call Next week to see

You'll hear something by Tomorrow....Fridays are good days for CCs and interviews!!

False checklists are generated automatically, whether the package is at NVC or fees are being held. NVC really needs to change that headbonk.gif

Hmm, I think in your case it would be alright. Just have a cover letter included explaining why you're sending mail to them. Make sure it's big and noticeable so they know why they have them and what they have to do. I'd call up NVC and confirm that this is alright. I'm guessing in your unique situation, they'll accept mail, even though you're doing EP.

Oh, right! I was so excited last night for you, I didn't even think about the spreadsheet laughing.gif I'll just put your CC as yesterday's date, and put 'expedited' in the notes section. That's what I usually do with expedite cases ;)

All done :)
