Thank you so much. I wasn't to incorrect. The surcharge is for the DHS to maintain documents and produce the GC later.

Except they raised the fee to $165 (my country)

To be paid after visa approval and before departure to the U.S.

What I have now is AOS $88, DS-230 $230 and my so called surcharge $165 + postage for passport to be returned.

Its truly in the details for me. :bonk:

Ah now im with you :P

Yes the $165 is a worldwide new fee for Green Card production, it doesn't have to be paid before entering the US, but you wont get your plastic GC until you do.

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

Mady - I will bet you, your last 4 paychecks, against my last 4 paychecks, that I am right. Rock n Roll ! [apologies, you are wrong, on this one thing. Not 'think', simply 'is'. ]

Saylin- My husband has 2 jobs and his part time job doesn't give him the letter of verification. They gave him this paper with a 1800 number to call if someone wants to verify his employment. What should we do?

I'm in the same boat as you. Both packages will be there today. I was thinking to start calling Friday or Monday. Then maybe everyday after. But I don't know if that's to soon.....

What did they mean by not certified? We sent a second one because there was a problem with them 'finding my original' (we're not sure yet if this is because they lost it or because they didn't think it was an original - A supervisor is supposed to be re-reviewing but it's added weeks onto our timeline :( )

When's your interview? Congrats!! :)

They said that since it wasn't embossed, that it wasn't original. However, the UK doesn't emboss documents, it is just on watermark paper. So we sent another with a receipt showing it was provided by the Registrar. However, they approved before they got the second copy!

The interview is May 15th.

WOOHOOOO!!!! Sorry for yelling. Congressman Liasion had USCIS send a copied file. NVC acknowledges receiving it today just not in the system. After 2 months and 2 days, I'm back in the game. Stress level decreased enormously.

I'm glad to hear that. Maybe they will give you your number faster since you were lost. Keeping my fingers crossed that you are able to fly through the next steps.

So... Case complete:-)... finally!!!

NVC said my case will leave to the embassy shortly and asked me to call back tomorrow to find out. They do not know how the embassy will go by scheduling the interview and contacting me. So I guess in a few days I will start contacting the embassy although in Algiers they have no contact info... only an emergency line that I am reluctant to use... advice?

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I got an email from NVC marking that my case was complete and an interview date was assigned. I was in my wife's country visiting for the past two weeks so never got a chance to call NVC to check up on the case. Last week I got a checklist which turned out to be a false checklist (AOS packet received, waiting for Packet IV).

The email from NVC came with a pdf attachment that states

The NVC has completed processing the case of the beneficiary and forwarded it to the American Embassy in New Delhi.

An interview has been scheduled on 05/09/2013

I am very happy to hear this. I have updated my signature.

I was just wondering if this is the usual process because I have seen that in some other cases, the case complete email is sent, then the interview date is assigned after a few days to a few weeks? Or am I mistaken. The pdf that was attached in the email states that the case was completed, interview date assigned and the case has been forwarded to the American embassy all at the same time.

Thank you everyone for all your help.

Now I have to read up on what the next steps to prepare for the interview is.
