I am just about ready to submit my I-864 materials to NVC via e-mail, but then I realized that there is a lot of very personal information in this packet that probably aren't safe to send via e-mail with password protecting or encryption.

Did all of you who submitted docs electronically to NVC password protect or use another form of encryption? Does NVC accept things that are password protected? Thank you!

Nope, didn't password protect or use any encryption. Not sure if NVC would accept it if you did. If you don't feel safe sending the packages by email, then you can mail them if you wish. You'll have to opt out of the EP program first though.

Well, that wasn't what I wanted to hear, but I do appreciate the response!! Thank you! smile.png

i was also very hesitant on doing this... in fact we just submitted ours via email today -- i did read it does get faster response times -- so i finally opted for sending it. i do plan on saving the emails locally on my hard drive then deleting permanently once done.

Good call. Honestly, I was kind of surprised that people would even be allowed to submit all of these items via unsecured e-mail. At this point I decided to roll the dice and do it because I don't want to wait on the mail and add more processing time on my case. :P

I just saw a video last night on how you can properly do this.

In case you're not well trained:

So I did submit my paperwork through e-mail, but for my account numbers, I used photoshop to black out the first several digits of the account/routing numbers and leave the last 4 digits of the account. When my husband goes to the interview I'll have him bring the real statements with the acct #s on them, but there was no way I was going to send account/routing number info in an unsecured e-mail. Good luck everyone!

The account # is the least of your concern -- anyone can get that if you write them a check. the account number and routing number is printed on the bottom of each check. i didnt want to take a chance and alter anything, before they thought otherwise. but hopefully this works out.

I gave them 401K and IRA statements that had the acct #s printed on them. I never much money in my checking account, but there is a lot of money in those accts. Well, if they have a problem with it then I got nothin. I'm not submitting that info through e-mail. There are too many bad people in the world.

Sarah, Have you received a response from them yet? i didnt want to be pushy -- its only been a week, but i called them twice already and they said they dont show anything in the system just yet -- they said to wait another week and then call back. i was surprised as i seen other vj members get case complete in a week. Also, for the i864, did you send in proof of citizenship? i read you might have to, but didnt see it on the vjwiki...

Saylin, does this sound right to you?

Does what sound right? Including proof of citizenship in the AOS package? The petitioner doesn't, but if you have any joint sponsors, they have to include a copy of proof of US citizenship/residency. It's clear in the I-864 instructions.

sorry -- shoulda been more clear -- lolcontent.gif . I meant does the wait time sound about right to you? its been over a week and they said they dont have anything in the system yet. Perhaps im just a little jumpy... mad.gif

Oh. I believe it's currently taking around 2-3 weeks for packages to be reviewed. And remember, nothing will show up in the operators' system until the review has begun. Until then, it's as if they don't have it.
