NVC Filers - January 2014

MagicJack is awesome!! LDR couples should download the app

So my question was missed, but how long on average does it take for NVC to assign case number and IIN number, the operator stated that it will take 10-20 days from the time they receive the case to get the case number.. Our case was received on Jan 13....

It depends. Some nvc reps say 10-20 days, others 2weeks, i was told 1 week. Just keep calling everyday

These two are very easy to miss and I was check listed for missing them

In Part 4. Information on the Sponsor, please correct the following...

[x] Item 10. The current annual household income must equal the sum of items 5, 6.c., 7.c., 8.c., and 9.c.

Also hope you are aware from Saylins post earlier that you can now download tax transcript for previous years online immediately.

For those worrying about call costs to NVC, you can download the MagicJack app on your smartphone (it's free) and you'll be able to call any number in the US or Canada without paying a dime. Just make sure you have a stable internet connection to keep from getting your calls cut especially during long hold times.

How about calling from US to Philippines ? Using mobile to landline?

Personal experience... A lot of you seem like are starting to get ready for submitting AOS or IV packages. Please read through all the posts. I recommend even going back 3 months of NVC threads and reading. 3 hours of reading might save you 20 days of replying to a checklist. It personally saved me from getting one. Just read and see what people got checklists for and do not make the same mistakes. If you happen to get a checklist, please share it so others will not.

Yes I hope more people post about their rfe..I know there's a thread about rfe's but I haven't see any posts lately.

Hey Saylin (or any other Canadians) I have a question about the Canadian Police Certificate. I went in to get mine a while back through Commissionaires, and have received it in the mail. When I was there I confirmed they would check my married name and maiden name. My certificate came with only my married name listed on it. I checked it against yours that you posted on the first page, and it looks the same, however my question is.... did you have both names on yours (married & maiden)? I've read a couple places that it should have both, but the woman at Commissionaires said they check both but only write my married name on the official certificate. Think I'll have issues?

I never legally changed my last name, so I used just my maiden name on my PCC. If yours only came in your married name (and doesn't show your maiden name anywhere on the form), I'd be concerned. You should probably go back and get it re-done, but just use your maiden name this time. If you paid for it, I'd demand some kind of refund as it should state somewhere on the form your maiden name, otherwise how would anyone know the maiden name was used to do the check?

That's what I thought! This lady was out ot lunch. I specifically asked for both names to placed on the form and she said its known both maiden and married are checked. NOTHING is known (or assumed) in immigration land! lol Thanks for the reply, I'll be demanding another one free in my maiden name.

She could be right that they check both names, but if both names aren't on the actual PCC, then NVC won't know and thus will likely issue a checklist for another PCC in the maiden name.

Ya that's what I was worried about. Better be safe than sorry - thanks again!
