Please help to answer. I was born in the Philippines and moved to Bangkok in 1990. I am now a Thai citizen for 15 yrs. So my Police clearance certificate will be released in 3 weeks. will I need also a PCC from the Philippines?

And also on my DS-260 previous address since I was 16 yrs old. I put there the year I was born until 1989. will there be a problem there or should I call NVC to have it change?

Saylin if you are there please help.

Hi

Anyone doing EP processing like Canada and China.

I am just curious about the scanning. I am planning on making about 5-7 attachments and then hoping they all go through when I send the email. It says on the NVC website that it wants a separate pdf for each different subject. I am using assets for my petiton too. Has anybody had any luck with the scan. Thanks in advance

Hello,
I just revied my case#, IIN and BIN today. I was able to login https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx and only received 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"
If I hired an attorney, do I have to fill Choice of Agent form DS 261?
For China Electronic Process (EP) question:
At which point of time I can send email and enroll EP, so GUZ will change to GZO?
Thanks for your help!

That wiki page is not up to date.

1. DS-260 and DS-261 are online forms.

2. The email you send now is now ENROLL, not OPTIN.

You should probably study my thread on EP for Guangzhou, I have made the necessary updates to it.

Hi Saylin,

Our petition has still not 'arrived' to the NVC. We are approaching 7 weeks since it was sent from the NSC. I called the USCIS and they confirmed it was sent.

I know we don't have a 'case' until we've reached 8 weeks.

Any thoughts?

Kind regards,

I made a seperate attachment for each document (coversheet, cover letter, I864, 3 seperate tax transcripts, 3 seperate pay stubs) So I had a lot of attachments. As long as it is under 10MB it should be ok. I am going to call tonight to see if they received it. 2 days and it will have been a week.

Hi again, I have some annoying questions that relate to my earlier inquiry. So our plan is for me (the sponsor) to move to canada for a few months during this NVC/Interview process so that I can be with my wife. We have already submitted the AOS packet and are waiting on the IV Bill to be generated. Since I will be quitting my job in order to move I will need a co-sponsor which I already have since when we started the I130 process oh so long ago I was at university and only working part time (but we didn't use him when we submitted the AOS since I am now employed). I can easily prove domicile when it is time to come back as I have a permanent address here in California, my drivers license matches that address, as does my american bank accounts, retirement accounts, vehicle registration, etc. (I will also obtain an employment letter to help show I am moving back to california when the time comes).

So my question is when do we send in the new I864 for me and the co-sponsors I864 and supporting documents? Do we do that now or do we just show up with it at the embassy? Thanks!

Have you asked for an expedite with the NVC?

No we didn't. We just did the expedite with USCIS though we are thinking about doing it now.
