Just saw this on a thread and thought I'd share here too as it's relevant. You can now get the IRS tax transcripts online (no longer need to wait to receive it by mail)!! Look here: http://www.irs.gov

My comment was not ignorant at all. I simply asked the person what they honestly thought it meant. That others thought my comment was funny had no basis on my asking if the person could understand w

Hi..guys i just have a question about NBI Clearance. do you guys think NVC will still accept NBI clearance that will expire on April 04,2014? because, our paralegal asked me to acquire a NBI clearance. after we submitted the I-130 petition to the USCIS. I mailed to my husband my NBI.. together with my Birth Certificate & our marriage certificate from NSO.i got my NBI last April 2013. i'm thinking to get new one if NVC will not consider the NBI i have.


thanks and happy new year...

Hi all! Does NVC always know "when" our case (the mail) has physically arrived from USCIS? I've been wondering because after we got approved last Dec.11, USCIS sent us an email on Dec.12 that they have shipped it already to DOS-NVC. But I've seen some who were approved after us and NVC confirmed that their files arrived already but still not on their system but ours hasn't even arrived yet. Worries me a bit, I supposed.

Still haven't received case# are IIN# from NVC, My NOA2 was approved 6 DEC at the NSC, just called them yesterday, so there's know telling how much longer this process will drag on.

If anyone else has been down this road before, could you please advise what we should do in this situation.

I plan to get new one. since we don't have case number yet. but is there a NVC number that we can dial for inquiry regarding ( Police Records)? I read on the u.s embassy manila website that "NBI CLEARANCE (Green Form): Applicants aged 16 years and older must have a valid Record Clearance (for travel abroad purposes) from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Clearances should be in the applicant’s current name, birth certificate name, maiden name, married name, and any aliases or nicknames ever used, including different spellings of all names ever used. An official letter of explanation from the NBI is required for any notation of “No criminal record”, or "No pending case”. For immigration purposes, an NBI clearance is considered valid only for one year from the date it is issued. " I wonder if NVC will consider that statement from U.S Embassy manila website.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Let's claim it, we will all be together with our spouses this 2014! smile.png

NVC hasnt received our case yet, calling again on thursday to check.. Btw, how long does it usually take to recieve ur tax returns from the time u request for em? Thanks

Do you mean the tax return transcripts? If so, in all the cases I or my husband requested them, they arrived within 2 weeks.

Saylin, I am the beneficiary waiting for case number. I believe we have to submit two passport size photos of the beneficiary.Do I have to send the photos by post from india to US or i can scan and send it to husbands email add??

Since you're not from an EP-eligible country, they can't be scanned. You'll have to send the photos by mail, along with all the other IV package documents needed.

Happy New Year and Good luck everyone ..

I finally got home and read my NOA2..In the first paragraph, It reads that they sent a cable to the consulate listed above to notify them of the approval of the petition. But there's no consulate listed above..So what does this mean?

On the back of my NOA2, it reads if this notice indicated we are notifying U.S. Consulate about the approval for visa issuance, and you or the person you have filed for have questions about visa issuance, please contact the appropiate U.S. Consulate directly..

Thanks for any insights..
