[ahnnel 15]

Case Update: DS-260 available and filled up. IV package sent. prepared to wait for 30 days review. I am claming in God's name that we will not have a checklist.. Good luck everyone!

It is taking about 2 weeks from submittal to the IV invoice. Be patient.

Thanks. Will wait.

i think not at all cause my iv bill was available when we pay the aos bill even the aos package was not yet sent.

hmmm. I dont think it works like that for everybody.

i have a dilemma regarding my taxes, anyone wanna comment?

i'm domiciled in california, which is a community property state. in other words, any income i earned after the marriage is considered a 50-50 split with my wife. the way i see it, i have 2 options:

1. MFS (and amend to MFJ after wife receives SSN). Benefit here is that I don't need a SSN/ITIN for my wife. Drawback is the extra $ i will owe, as well as the complexities introduced by the community property rules. due to these rules, does she need to file a tax extension if we go this route?

2. MFJ. I will take a trip to see my wife in april and return on april 11. if i prepare my taxes and have her sign the return+ITIN documents, I should be able to mail everything off prior to april 15. The only drawback I see here is that the tax transcript may not be available in time for the interview.

what do you guys think?

What we did was filed 2013 with W7 for ITIN #. Takes a few weeks to get it back. So I am sending in the TAX RETURN with all schedules and all W2s (basically everything that we sent to IRS) with the AOS and will take TAX TRANSCRIPTS to interview. Hopes this helps.

Can someone add me to the NVC processing time spread sheet? NOA2 received on Feb 05th from CSC. NVC received on Feb 19th.

Case Status Update:

AOS bill appeared as Paid. - but no further actions to be taken as of now because we are waiting for acceptance response for EP.

My husband called NVC yesterday regarding the EP we enrolled, operator asked if when did we send our email to ENROLL for EP, my husband answered, it was on Feb. 16. Then the operator informed my husband to wait for couple more days because they haven't read the email yet, they are still reading received emails dated Feb. 06.

IV fee is still unavailable too.

OH,This helps me..I asked the question earlier about how long it takes to get the New Case# after you en-roll in EP and no one answered.

My Lawyer is to send the e-mail today,he said it takes about a week....AOS AND iV SHOW PAID...SO we continue to wait ...again!

thanks, I'm thinking of going this route too. do you know when tax transcripts are available?

Finally our AOS shows paid and I can now mail everything in. Still waiting for IV to show up for payment. Any idea when that will be?

IV is only invoiced after the DS-261 has been accepted and added to the case file.

what do u think, for my IV not getting invoiced.

i filled my agent form on feb 5th, and still IV not invoiced.

while i have seen 4-5 people on VJ timelines and they have been invoiced already even though they filled their DS-261 after my date.

also they dont have attorney and are doing them self.

This thing is making me mad, of random picking,

but i guess i cant do anything but peacefully wait.

Expedite approved!!!

I believe there are VJ members here who lived in Singapore for couple years. Hence, COC is required to process. Maybe this thread will help to get COC ahead of time : http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/422890-need-help-obtaining-the-singaporean-police-certificate/

I will be following this and I will let you know if this letter is sufficient to present to get COC. Others got it by using this letter so maybe I can get it too.
