NVC Filers - April 2012

[Army wife 9]

I'd start calling tomorrow and then every day afterwards

LOL! Merci!

[Saylin 1,605]

Sometimes, i wonder how grateful we all are to this website. There is nothing like this anywhere on WORLD WIDE WEB known as the INTERNET!

I mean the sheer amount of information we get from VJ. So much so that i just couldn't imagine tackling this journey w/o VJ.

So much so that I wouldn't mind paying a membership fee for it. NOT THAT I'M SAYING VJ should start chargin.

I'm JUST SAYING how immensely helpful VJ has been to me on this long, difficult and unpredictable journey.

Thank you VJ.

Hear, hear!

LOL! Merci!

Bienvenue!

...ummm...checklist received for I-864 documents so I sent them. The checklist asked specifically for these, SO...you want it, you got it. Lol.

Hey, if they don't like it - I'll just resend it. I'm good at that

LOL! Merci!

Army wife was your IV Accepted or Delivered at NVC?

Well, that's something I've not seen before, getting a checklist for a package before sending the other one. Maybe it's in response to getting your AOS bill. Does it appear as PAID in the payment portal?

It was delivered. They just sent it yesterday to NVC.

No...and I just reread it. It was asking for my IV application part 1 and it said "so we can schedule your interview." Uhhhhhh....what???

First time being father, it is a nice feeling. Well i do not know if it is the same feeling for all men but i am already imagining how i am going to play with my daughter, she is going to be daddy little princess.

My husband is the same way, he has great plans for our daughter!

I really hope everything goes as planned for you. My husband will miss the birth of our child, i'm due at the end of april, and he probably won't be able to see her in person until he comes for us when all of this is finally over.

But thank God for skype! It sure is not the same but it will make it a little easier on him

Saylin is correct!

It was delivered and FedEx gave the name of who signed for it.

Good to know, I'll make sure to ask about that. He thinks he got some shots as a kid when some nurses came around to all the rural families and gave out shots and he has a Carnet de Vacunaciones but all it says on it is Dengue and Yellow Fever, neither or which are needed for the US. There isn't even a vaccine for dengue... . I guess we'll just take that card and maybe the doc can do a blood test to see which ones he's had.

I doubt it, making an antibodies count from a blood sample takes a while, and I'm not even sure it's possible for all of the required vaccines.

If I were him, I'd go to the doctor and have an MMR shot right now. The second shot must be at least a month later, which might still work for you. I'm not sure about the other vaccines because they're not requested by the embassy in France, except the Tdap/DPT, but one shot is enough.

I just got off the phone with NVC and found out that they issued a checklist for my wife's IV packet. The operator told me it was missing her divorce decree. I am 100% sure I included her divorce decree in the packet. My guess is that they don't recognize it. In Chile the divorce decree looks exactly the same as the marriage certificate. The only difference is that there is an annotation that the marriage was terminated in divorce. This same document was accepted by USCIS and I confirmed through the Santiago Embassy website that this was the correct document.

What are my options at this point? Can I email NVC and ask them to recheck for this document? Considering I already sent the original copy it would take a few days and some steep fees to get another copy sent to the NVC. I really want to get case closed by the end of the week so we are in the queue for interview scheduling, assuming they are released next week.

The good news is that my step-daughters IV packet was accepted and her case was closed.

That's not a bad idea, call the doc now and see what you can get started with asap, anything to save time.

I had my son get his extra shots already so we wouldn't run into any delays after the medical exam..

First off, grats on your daughter's case closing.

Since you don't have another copy to send, I'd suggest calling up NVC asap and requesting to speak with a supervisor. They might be able to re-check your package. You might also want to email NVC with an explanation of the divorce decree, as well as sources from the Santiago website that it's indeed correct.

I just tried to pay my AOS processing fee and I get this response:

There are one or more errors with your submission.

Payment stopped for the following reason

Service Fee 0000XXXXXXXX has an active payment. This payment cancelled.

what does that mean??

What is the status of your fee when you log into the payment portal now? Still UNPAID or IN PROGRESS?

It looks like the kind of message you'd get if you accidently clicked the Send button twice.

I love this online, electronic processing! Submitted DS-261 (agent form) online. Completed. Paid AOS bill...status in process. Then the fun begins, of emailing all paperwork!
