NVC Filers - March 2014

[Ja&Ka 10]

Your NVC timeline matches ours very closely. We are in a tight race By the end of this week, I am planning to send our IV document package and complete the DS-260 (when and if it becomes available). Then cross my fingers for no checklist.

Good luck to you.

Yeah. That's exactly what we are planning on doing this week! The IV bill should show as paid soon! But we also have other concerns, hopefully We will get some solid answer from NVC when we call.

All the best to you!

Im interested to know something , it would be great if someone knew the answer on it :-) :

About calling NVC- when we call them, the line always says it is busy and then hang up....hm...is it usual for NVC to be that busy ? we were calling several times during a day and could not connect to talk with someone there....it is also 1st time we call and im not sure why it always says it is busy....we called NVC phone number....

I also wonder - is it same when call DOS phone number? maybe they will know info about our case too....

Thanks

Greetings

I'm pretty sure that last month it was discovered that DOS numbers don't take calls any longer, but Saylin or someone else might have better recall on what was said.

Case Complete....just got off the phone with NVC.... My case was completed yesterday...I am so happy....

Saylin i don't know if I can be added to the case complete sheet as my Visa Category is IB1. I personally thank you for putting up an excellent guide on this forum for the NVC stage which helped my fire my attorney and complete this stage. A very thank you to all the other VJ members as well...

How wonderful! Congrats!!

Here it looks like everyone speaks with NVC so easy get them on the line...but we could not after many calls to get connected to talk to anyone there....huh......

I've had a heck of a time getting through lately as well, tried calling but unfortunately I left it too late in the morning and hit the peak calling times I guess.

Got a checklist just now regarding the birth certificate:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
______CORRESPONDENCE INSTRUCTIONS:_________________________________
For electronic processing, all forms and documents that we request and require from you should be scanned and e-mailed to
NVC as Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The documents should be sent as attachments with your e-mail
response and not in a web file. NVC is unable to process documents submitted in web files. Forms and documents should not
be mailed through the postal service. The applicant must present all original forms and documents to the Consular officer at
the visa interview. Failure to present the required originals at the visa interview will result in a denial or delay in obtaining a
visa for the sponsored applicant. Any questions regarding your petition should continue to be directed to
NVCElectronic@state.gov.
PLEASE NOTE: No interview will be scheduled until ALL of the information requested has been emailed to the National
Visa Center.
______3 - BIRTH CERTIFICATE:_______________________________________
Please submit this applicant's original, or a certified copy of the original document listed above. Each
applicant must obtain an original birth certificate issued by the official custodian of birth records in the
country of birth, showing the date and place of birth, and the parentage of the alien, based upon the
original registration of birth.
Documents must be from the appropriate issuing government authority. Failure to provide the
correct document will delay your case and may result in re-scheduling of your interview or refusal
of a visa.
The certificate must contain the following information:
? Person's date of birth
? Person's place of birth
? Names of both parents, and
? Annotation by the appropriate authority indicating that it is an extract from the official records
If the certificate is a certified copy of the original, it must come from the issuing government authority
and it must contain annotation by the issuing authority indicating that it is an extract from the official
records.
In addition to sending the original documents or certified copies of the documents to the NVC, a
photocopy of the original documents must be submitted.
Unobtainable birth certificates
If the applicant's birth record is unobtainable, please obtain a certified statement from the appropriate
government authority stating the reason that the applicant's birth record is not available. The applicant
must submit secondary evidence with the certified statement. For example:
? A baptismal certificate that contains the date and place of birth, as well as both parents names
(providing the baptism took place shortly after birth)
? An adoption decree for an adopted child
? An affidavit from a close relative, preferably the applicant's mother, stating the date and place of
birth, both parents names, and the mother's maiden name
Suitability of documentation for immigration purposes
For many countries, the U.S. Department of State has established country-specific criteria for ensuring
that applicants submit documents appropriate for visa processing. Please go to our website
immigrantvisas.state.gov to determine if the U.S. Department of State has issued any country-specific
guidelines for the document requested.
All documents not in English or in the official language of the country where the visa application will be
processed must be accompanied by a certified translation. Your translation must include a statement by
the translator which includes the following:
? Translation is accurate.
?Translator is competent to translate.

Canada has two official languages, French and English, and my wife's in French. I don't know what was wrong with what was provided as it includes all required information. I'm going to email them the birth certificate again tomorrow morning. Strange.

I have a feeling we will have our cases completed by the middle of April.

Please change the Consulate (Armenia) in your timeline.

When getting documents from NSO, you should always request the CDLI copy if there are amendments on your documents (i.e., name, birthdate or any change in your BC; annulment on your MC, etc.). A CDLI copy shows these amendments on the space at the right side margin of the document. I know that NSO always give the CDLI copy unless you specifically requested the un-amended original copy (not the other way around as the USCIS stated in your letter). The USCIS and NVC require the CDLI copy showing any amendment. If there are no amendment on your document, there is no need for a CDLI copy. Hope this helps.

this is a great info thanks a lot and congrats to your case complete by the way do you already have an interview schedule? just wanna know the length of time to wait after case complete for that.

How do we get our Timeline to show up under our topic when we write something. I have been looking for this for some time but cannot find it.

Thank you.
