Folks, something VERY strange just happened.

As far as I know, our I-130 case file was sent to NVC. The case file took a long time to get to the NVC. I had to get my Senator's immigration staffer involved to find out what was happening to the case file. But finally NVC generated a case number (twice since it was incorrect the first time), billed me for the AOS and IV, and processed the AOS. I sent them the IV packet but they have not processed it yet.

Today I got a letter forwarded to me by the immigration staffer. It was sent to her by the Congressional Liaison for Houston, and referenced my MSC number. it says this:

Hello,

NVC does not have the I-130's. The box was inadvertently shipped by Houston to the NRC instead of the NVC. They have been requested back to Houston and will be forwarded to the NVC as quickly as possible.

I apologize for the delay that this error has caused and we will move them as expeditiously as possible. I have notified NVC as well so you will probably hear from them as they close their inquiry with you.

Again, I apologize.

(signed) Congressional Liaison, USCIS Houston

What in the name of little green apples? I thought my file was at the NVC! I called the NVC to see if they really did have the file, and the rep insisted that she was looking at my information in the system, and that the information would not be in the system if the file had not been received. What is going on?

You'll need to write an attached letter explaining why you've never been required to file taxes.

Hello Everybody. I have posted the below question in F2A category thread, only one said there is no harm in it. I'm looking for few more opinions if possibile, so I am daring to post in this thread again without defying the first opinion.

'I am about to submit my AOS package. I have a join sponser because I don't have any current income. Also my previous last 3 years incomes were also below Poverty guideline's level. I have shown my bank balance in I864 form as my assets but it is also not upto the requirement level. So I am crossing my fingers, that my AOS will be approved with having join sponser. Please advice if anyone of you have any doubts. As I am searching for a job right now, I am thinking to attach a letter with the AOS package explaing my current situation that 'I am looking for a job and I will provide my pay stubs during interview if I get a job by that time.' Please advice if it is OK to do or not. Hope the extra document(letter) won't raise extra questions or burden while interview in case I won't able to show my pay stubs. That is the main concern here.'

Thank you

OK, I talked to the USCIS and they had no idea why I got the letter. If I was assigned a case number at the NVC, they have the file. WEIRD. :hehe:

it is. I just tried him, lol... I think it's best he keep it full so people don't keep hammering on him for private information. I just didn't want to post that weird letter because I didn't want to alarm anyone.

No. this form is never 'approved' but it is acted upon.

A Human read it, did some clicky things and got it pegged in the casefile and added to the casefile.

NOW that it's added to the casefile, that IV fee bill will be generated.

absolutely !

I gots my ILS Human involved, and that casefile left the local USCIS office 31 days after it was approved. You might want to get an ILS human involved, it sure was useful to me !

Darnell, could you share how you worded the letter to your "ILS Human"/ You are always good with words when it comes to talk-with-the-government-officials stuff!. Thanks!

That error message typically indicates that a bill is being invoiced.

Are you logging onto the payment portal on IE? Don't use any other browser for this...

We received an email an hour ago saying that the AOS was invoiced. I logged on using IE and indeed we can pay. HOWEVER, only my son and daughter's cases are linked together, mine is yet to be included. Do you think I should wait a little longer and hope that all 3 will be linked soon or should I call NVC to enquire?

By the way, I have seen that the DOS' website is going to be down from 6pm EST tomorrow, looks like they have found what the issue is!

When hubby paid my AOS invoice, my daughter’s automatically turned to pending so I think you should wait.

Oh Ma sha Allah! Congratulations! That was fast.good.gif

I got an email of the case complete as well, Alhamdullilah :) Last time I called was a week back, was so disheartened that did not call after that. But now I'll call to know when did it happen kicking.gif and I hope too that I did not miss the interview batch as well. *fingers cross*

Thanks!

I didn't get an email about case complete yet, it's been two days now. Not sure if you get case complete email once an interview date is assigned or a few days after case complete. blink.gif

iA we'll be assigned interview dates soon, but so much uncertainty, it's driving me crazy.headbonk.gif

Anyone here that has recently received an interview date (this year) from the Islamabad embassy? If so, what date of the month did you receive the interview date? I still can't find what day they release interview dates.

I think. The letter is dated the 23rd of April. The e-mail is dated the 19th of April. The NVC have had the I-130 packet since the 4th of April, I was told. :bonk:

Case complete email comes about a week after case complete IF you get one. Not everyone gets a case complete email.
