Another question, is this where we have to include pictures to prove that is a legitimate relationship?

You don't have to included any additional relationship evidence at any stage of the NVC process. 'Side-loading' as its known, is mostly a must for MENA countries, where the consular officer could have very well have made his or her decision of whether to approve or deny a petition with just by looking at the case file.

With that been said, if you feel that you want to include more ongoing relationship evidence, send it together with your IV package.

Okay so I am currently living in Pakistan and have lived in saudi arabia previously. Now according to the travel.state.gov website i do not need police records for any of the countries. Is it a good idea to send with the civil documents, a print out of where it is written on the website tht it is not required and highlight that statement ? Or should I just let it go. I just wanted to send them a reminder so I dont end up getting a check list ? What do you say experts?

Husband called the NVC today. It's been 18 days since case approval. Husband was on hold for about 40 minutes when the call answered. The lady just told him to wait 30 days before calling and hung up. She didn't even answer when he asked if they received the case. Husband is going to call back tomorrow at 7 a.m.

I am speechless.

NVC sent back my case to USCIS. They do not have any further information.

I was approved on Feb 11th.

I really need help guys.

That is the most devastating thing to have happened. Hope they sort it out soon. My prayers are with you.

It would likely be faster to move an elephant to the US compared to a human! I love that everyone is bringing their pets. When I moved to the US, I brought my Border collie with me. There is no way that I could leave her behind. She was only 7 months and it was harder on me than it was on her. We had to go Dublin to Chicago and on to Dallas/Fort Worth. They lost her in Chicago! I should have claimed her as over-sized baggage and checked her in for the DFW flight but they couldn't find her. Finally after me totally flipping out, they found her in cargo but that poor dog was crated for 21 hours total and I didn't get to see her until I landed in DFW. I remember getting her out in DFW and laying newspapers on the floor of the airport and she squatted and peed and peed and peed some more. She was so relieved, poor baby!

It is impressive to know about her behavior and just sad that she had to put up with the discomfort for so long.

Have to comment... FYI, Make copies.. of everything and when you go to Embassy have copies of everything.. wife had interview... they could not find wife's application 260, said they could not interview her but had daughters... she searched in paperwork for confirmation... they found confirmation and copies of everything because of being prepared... after that it was 15 minutes to approval...

Another highly useful info. The lawyer will be the one doing all of it so I will need to remind my husband to get confirmation of everything and mail me. Thank you.

Hello everyone! I'm new here. My case is currently at the NVC. I have paid the AOS and IV fee. My wife has sent the AOS papers last 03/06/14 and was delivered at NVC on 03/10/14. I just recently filled up the DS-260 form online and submitted it last 03/21/14. And also, I sent my civil documents on that same day. According to Fed Ex, it has arrived yesterday 03/24/14 at the NVC. I was wondering will we receive a notice regarding the AOS? And I've read that my next step will be the medical. When should I expect this to take place? Thank you everyone in advance!
