NVC Filers - May 2013

[Saylin 1,605]

Still have a good idea.

Get them done.

Scan them in.

Reprint.

/set for remainder of process

Just wish I'd thought of it when I did the FIRST set

Just make sure you have a really good printer that prints them out as good of quality as the original set. I'd suggest using the copies for the medical and keep the originals for the interview (as they use those photos for your green card).

Oh, no no, I'ma print multiples at walmart.

(1) 4x6 is like 30c so I can just paste 3 per photo and trim them at home.

Geniiiuuuus.

*Disclaimer* I would not suggest anyone w/o some photoshop pasting skills choose my method

Saylin - another data point.

Called in, received GUZ casefile # and IIN.

I was so ecstatic that Tessa was asking me for her name and DOB, my name and DOB - I'm still trembling... OMG.

I asked if I could add my wife's email address to the casefile, but Tessa mentioned to call back on Monday and do it then, as 'we can only do one edit per day'.

hmmmmm. of course I'm gonna call back tonight and try...

Yay !

My scanned pictures look fine.

Aside from the fact that clearly I need to clean my scanner.

Got some fuzzies on the glass.

[Clemjam 8]

Yup, that's the acceptance!

Foreign State of Chargeability is just basically where they're born. Doesn't affect anything.

Right on Saylin! I called them a few hours ago and they confirmed me exactly what you said.

Next step is to await the IV package invoicing and send all the supporting evidence, which hopefully will be done by midweek next week.

The NVC guy told me it will take up to 15 business days for the invoicing and 20 business days for the reviewing...'

My husband is sending our AOS package today

Today a received a REAL checklist But what they are asking is including in the documents that I send with AOS.

______F - FINANCIAL EVIDENCE:______________________________________

You will need to follow the instructions for the Affidavit of Support (I-864) that are posted on the

the correct form to submit to NVC. An Affidavit of Support form is required to be submitted from the

Petitioner on each case regardless of his/her income level.

NVC will hold this case until you send us these needed items. When you return the documents to NVC,

please make sure that the documents submitted are in the correct order and stapled together, as stated in

the I-864 Important Notice instructions.

For electronic processing, all forms and documents that we request and require from you should be scanned and e-mailed to

NVC as Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The documents should be sent as attachments with your e-mail

response and not in a web file. NVC is unable to process documents submitted in web files. Forms and documents should not

be mailed through the postal service. The applicant must present all original forms and documents to the Consular officer at

the visa interview. Failure to present the required originals at the visa interview will result in a denial or delay in obtaining a

What can I do now???? I sent the letter explaining why I don´t have income tax returns. They are not asking anything from my co-sponsor. Do I have to send a new I-864????
