NVC Filers - June 2013

[Moudyan 2]

I have a question about the ds-230 form. (this form is so confusing in some ascpects)

• I am filing CR-1 and question #9 asks for his marital status (I should put in married, right ?)
  
• Spouse's name (which is me- should I give out all my info...right) (Question 14)
  
• Then going down (this is where it gets confusing). 31a. Persons names in 14 and 29 who will accompany you to the United States now and 31b says Peron(s) named in 14 and 9 who will follow you to the United States at a later date.
  

What is confusing here is the fact that am here, ....please help ?? I need to send this documents tomorrow morning so that they can start on the process asap. Thanks everyone.

Aargh! I am so angry with the NVC right now. My husband called them this evening to inquire about the status of our case, and he was told that the IV package has not been accepted yet because 1) they have not received my birth certificate and 2) they want proof that I am allowed to work in Germany. The problem is that Finland does not issue birth certificates anymore, we use extracts from the population registry (virkatodistus in Finnish) and the NVC knows this, it's explained in their own reciprocity schedules! As for my work permit, I obviously don't have one (and why do they care anyway?) - I would have thought that the NVC staff knows that EU citizens are allowed to work anywhere in the EU?!?

I already called the NVC back and the operator promised to get someone to have another look at the birth certificate issue. I hope it can be sorted out soon. Does anyone have any ideas about what to do with the work permit issue? I have already contacted my employer and asked for a letter explaining my status. I would of course attach the relevant legislation to the letter and send the package to the NVC, but since I am currently on vacation, I won't be able to get the letter before next week and I'd rather have this issue solved before then. Is there anything I can say to the NVC on the phone to get them to drop this issue?

DS-230 is for the Beneficiary.

marital status - yes you're married right?

Spouse's name (the petitioner in this case is the spouse.)

A USC does not immigrate to the USA.. That is their country of origin. So unless there are children who are accompanying your spouse, the answer is none.

You can try calling and talking to a supervisor and explaining. You can also request that a supervisor review your file vs a normal reviewer.

Grats! YAY!

1) married - correct

2) yes that is your information - if you are the USC/LPR

3) We put n/a as I am in the states, and we do not have any children to list in 29

You can ask for a case complete without it and state you will bring it with you to the interview. Try and see.

Being we are going through the consulate in Morocco.... I am curious if I should include with the IV packet an evolution of relationship letter and more Skype logs from when we left off when we sent the I-130 in. Any recommendations? I have a week or so before some of his documents arrive here....

How does one get to talk to a supervisor? My husband already asked to speak with one, and he was refused.

I would suggest include as much proof of relationship evidence as you can, whatever you didn't include with the I-130, as well as stuff that has happened since you submitted the I-130.

You request to speak with one. Don't just give up after one operator says no. Be adamant.

Hello...

AOS & IV bill generated on payment portal but yet to receive any email.

Have not received DS3032 accepted email but I see IV bill generated. Is it normal?

I had send an email to remove lawyer from the case and appointed petitioner as a choice of agent and received an email confirming that Lawyer has been removed from the case, further communication will now be directed to petitioner. is that a formal 3032 acceptance confirmation or I should have separate email?

Thank you
