Great! I will let you know once I find out my interview date. Everyone has been saying that if you are completed before the 20th of the month, your interview will likely be scheduled for the following month. I hope that is true!

Well you take that and also how many are in the queue waiting. The embassy gives NVC how many slots and NVC starts scheduling according to case complete. Thats why you can have 3 people finished all today for same embassy and 2 may get a date (This is when that receipt date NOA1) is real handy. I know this happened last Janusry for Nigeria wa 6 folk.

So all you can do is hope and wait.

Sorry to repeat this question but does anyone know the requirement regarding police certificates? Are they needed if an applicant lived in a foreign country for 6 months and over or 12 months and over?

The Department of State website says 12 months. The NVC rep is telling me 6 months. Should I call again? Send an email quoting the information on the DOS site?

Thank you.

Congrats!

Thank you Saylin! Without all of your help and support I don't know what I would have done at this stage. So THANK YOU for helping all us VJers navigate through the NVC process-greatly appreciated.

I think it's 6 months. That's what I was told as well.

I don't understand why they are telling people this when the website says 12 months.

I just sent them an email quoting the information from the Department of State website verbatim.

Either they don't know their own rules or the requirements have recently changed and they have not updated their website.

Seems like they are confused also lol. I would recommend you calling them once again and verifying that information with a different NVC rep.

any one know if i have to do two seperate AOS,IV for wife and son

or only one?

[AKSinghSingh79 143]

I spoke with another NVC rep who is also telling me it's 6 months for police certificates regardless. I told him the website says differently and he told me that he has been seeing the requirement for 6 months or more in the last 4 months or so. He believes the DOS website has not been updated to reflect these changes.
I'm still not completely convinced

I'll wait and see what the email response says. Thailand police reports are not easy to obtain when abroad. We have already tried 3 times and have not been successful, otherwise we would have attached the blasted thing to our IV package and been done with it. We've been at the NVC since March. Is there any way possible we can get out of this NVC black hole, sans the Thai police report? I don't even care about getting a 221 g for it later at the interview, we just want to be out of NVC before my husband's other PCCs expire.

You can try requesting that NVC close your case in the promise that you'll bring the PCC to the interview. No guarantee, but it's worth a shot.

They should just be closed for Christmas, December 25th. They should be open the rest of the days. But, keep in mind, I'm sure there's a bunch of workers who have taken time off on the other days for a holiday break, so a back log might occur, thus time frames go up.

This is pretty much what i was thinking. Thanks!

Christmas miracle! I called the NVC this afternoon and they have assigned our case number...exactly 10 business days after receiving it. I tried to immediately sign in to the CEAC website with my NVC case and invoice identification numbers but got the following message... "Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time" I assume that this is because the invoice hasn't been generated yet?

Ignore my question, I should have read Saylin's posts before posting. Hooray for my case number being generated though...hoping to be able to get the AOS and IV invoices paid before Christmas!!

if you expedite it, they will make it fast! if the reason is good enough, and if they will grant it too! we expedite our case at nvc bcause of the super typhoon yolanda, and they grant it, so i am not waiting now to the nvc to give me instruction.. i will just bring all the requirements they need to my interview and i will pay the fee on my interview..

Jane21, was your place directly hit by the typhoon or because you were residing in the Philippines? how did you expedite your case? what steps did u do?
