NVC Filers - November 2013

[scienceworks 64]

Part 2 is only for information on the immigrant you are sponsoring. Part 3 is only for information on the Sponsor.

Part 2 - 6. Alien Registration Number - If the immigrant had an alien registration number you would know it. It isn't something you get on an NO2. Don't forget that the I-864EZ is used for other types of petitions so there could be blocks that are not applicable to you situation. For instance, Part 2 - 5. Social Security Number - most immigrants don't have one of those yet, so you just put "N/A" in that block.

I had my original I-864EZ kicked back because I did not put "N/A" in one of the blocks - I left that block empty. The NVC phone reps told me that they are very strict about empty blocks on that form. I had to resubmit the I-864EZ just to put "N/A" in a block and had to spend another $120 for document shipping. So I strongly suggest you put "N/A" in every block that isn't applicable to your situation.

Is putting N/A specific to EZ form or for any AOS forms, because in the i-864 instructions, it specifically says to leave blank if the questions does not apply or answer is none

You are correct. Putting N/A isn't found anywhere in the instructions or on the NVC website. However, my I-864EZ was kicked back because of it. I don't have any knowledge of the normal I-864 form though.

Here is part of the response my Senator got from the NVC:

"The NVC sent an email to Mr. ******** requesting additional information regarding his Affidavit of Support form on *******. We need to receive an I-864EZ form filled out by *********, as he left ****** completely blank. He should resubmit his Affidavit of Support form and indicate “Not applicable” or N/A” on ******. "

I took out any specific information about me or the petition, but you can see that the NVC most definitely mandated that nothing be blank. The phone reps also told me that every block should either be filled out, or have "N/A" in it, and nothing should be blank.

Hi all, so I was checking my AOS paper and I realized that I had written my dob in dd/mm/yyyy format and not in mm/dd/yyyy. I don't know why I did that. I never write it in that format. Would I get a checklist for that?? Should I correct it and send it to NVC?? I'm hoping it won't be noticeable but you never know. Saylin or anybody please help.

Don't send anything to NVC unless it's requested for first. They may not catch the mistake, in which case bring a corrected an I-864 to the interview. If they do catch it, wait for the checklist to be issued, then send a corrected form to NVC.

Is putting N/A specific to EZ form or for any AOS forms, because in the i-864 instructions, it specifically says to leave blank if the questions does not apply or answer is none

The I-864EZ still requires 'none' or 'N/A'. The I-864 was updated where a bar-code is generated as information is inputted (the I-864EZ doesn't have this), so because of that, you leave things blank if the answer should be none or N/A as it will change the bar-code at the bottom.

Makes sense. Saylin, you are an information store house.

Thanks for the advice! I hope they don't catch it either.

Yes, I did get a checklist on the I 864 as I had included my husband's income but did not enter an amount for total household income this mistake delayed our review by 30 days as we were put back in the queue. We then got another checklist asking to provide more supporting documentation to show my US domicile but luckily, we did not have to send this back to the NVC but for my husband to bring them to the interview ( whew! That was a huge relief)

This forum has been great and extremely helpful ! Good luck with your journey.

You may hear back from them in a week or so. We received our reply for the second checklist in about 30 calendar days eventhough we were told to wait for 30 business days (6 weeks!) I can certainly sympathize with you -- hang in there

Thanks though I'm waiting for them to be reviewed .. It's already 18 calendar days.. When you recieved your checklist ? I mean which date.. And when it's came into their system.. It's written in the checklist letter that allow 20 business days.. But I don't know why on fone calls they always say 30 days..

[jmack2743 7]

Called and the kind gentleman answering the call, informed me that a mail have been added to my casefile but could not see what it was- which I know is our packages as they were received a couple of days prior to me calling. So to count 30 days - praying it will be all going through by the end of November and an interview date early December. Praying for Christmas. Praying.

Me too, they got my AOS on 16 Oct and IV packet 1 Nov in system. So hoping case complete sometime this month. ??
