Morning everyone, last night I was sent a Check List from the NVC. It is requesting all Civil Docs and AOS. We are set up for EP and have already sent everything they are asking for in last week. Could this be a false check list? My Husband called the NVC last night right after getting this list and the operator didn't sound too confident....and said he can't see what we email the NVC. Just wondering if anyone has advice about how to verify if this is bogus or not.

Thanks everyone!

Unless it requests very specific things (like a certain document), it is most likely a false checklist. I did EP and got a false checklist for the civil documents after my husband filled out the DS-260 online, even though we had emailed them in the day before. As long as you get the response email from NVC accepting your emailed documents you should be fine.

Ok, thanks, that is what I thought. It requested everything, it listed all of the civil docs and asked for financial evidence. We did get a reply a few days after we emailed everything saying that they got them all and to please wait upto 20 days for them to be reviewed.....I'm sure we are in the same boat as you. How long after you got the check list did you get a case complete?

What is this new form I keep randomly reading about.

I turned in the one that expired in September.

From what I'm reading I should bring the new one to interview?

Do you mean the new form related to AOS? If so, sounds like there is a new version of the I-184 that is available online but not mandatory to use until late June.

I used the I-184EZ, and just got lucky with the whole thing I guess.

This actually sounds a little different from what we got. Ours just said:

______1 - IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION PART 1:_______________________
The National Visa Center received your DS-260 form. We are waiting for the traveling applicant’s
supporting civil documents to be submitted to the NVC. Your online Immigrant Visa Application will be
reviewed upon receipt of your supporting documentation.

There was no mention of specific supporting documentation or financial evidence. You might want to try calling back and push for more answers or to speak with a supervisor, just to be sure, but the fact that you got an email is a good sign.

It took us a week from receiving that email to case complete, so you're nearly there!

I used the old EZ form.

I had it saved out since November.

Ohhh, ok. No, the email we got specifically said that it is a check list. I have read on here that a lot of people still get them even though they sent in their stuff. Our lawyer is working on it now, getting to the bottom of it. I will probably call the NVC myself and ask for some answers.

Thanks again for the info! I sure hope a case complete is around the corner!

I think you're good. It says the current I-184EZ form came out in March but that old versions are still accepted (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=15d05d4c6608e010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD), which is different than the I-184, for which they will only accept the new version come June 23. good.gif

Yes, I got GZO# on 5/15.

Since you have your GZO number, then I don't think it is necessary to inquire about a DS-3032. As I said previously, send your AOS package as soon as the portal shows PAID.

I guess it still goes back to my question on if I should bring a copy of the new one if my interview is after then.

I guess there's no harm in doing so so I probably just will.

It's not like anyone here can really 100% predict what anyone is going to ask me for anyways lol

CASE COMPLETE WOHOOO!!!

Congrats! kicking.gif

Morning everyone, last night I was sent a Check List from the NVC. It is requesting all Civil Docs and AOS. We are set up for EP and have already sent everything they are asking for in last week. Could this be a false check list? My Husband called the NVC last night right after getting this list and the operator didn't sound too confident....and said he can't see what we email the NVC. Just wondering if anyone has advice about how to verify if this is bogus or not.

Thanks everyone!

Sounds like it's a false checklist, based off them reviewing, and accepting, the DS-260. Call up again to confirm.

What is this new form I keep randomly reading about.

I turned in the one that expired in September.

From what I'm reading I should bring the new one to interview?

This new form everyone's talking about here is the new I-864 that was released a few weeks ago. Until June 23rd, older versions will still be accepted. I'd suggest that you bring the new I-864 form filled out to the interview, just in case.

Well that's good. You're finally caught up! YAY! Now you can send in everything once they're paid.

You may want to wait until they show paid in the portal though... Read the guide for EP to double check. I only say this because they get the email instantly, even though it may take a week or two for them to open it.
