NVC Filers - March 2014

[TYorke1 9]

Hi Saylin

I see from your FAQ's that it says the following... If you do get a checklist for one of the packages, you do NOT have to use that bar-coded cover sheet; you can still use the one from the payment portal.

When you say "do NOT have to" is it still ok to use the new one the provided? Is either one ok?

I think my wife used the new one as that was instructed in the email.

[Collie 122]

that's what I read too Ms. Saylin to you posts. its just some members are posting infos that are totally different that makes me confused. guess I need to stick what Ms. Saylin is saying

Unless its an IR5 (parent) then you don't have to send beneficiary documents with the IV packet.

Is there anyone whose case was received at nvc on feb4,who has received case no

[lindystephan 20]

I can't believe this!!! I was calling to find out if my case had been received, but I got a NVC case# and IIN. The agent had my email address and phone# already, and I gave over my Wife's email address. When I asked for the IIN he gave it but mentioned don't try to pay or do anything until they send us an email. I didn't know about the beneficiary ID#, but was given that as well.

I am still in shock. I don't know if they got a bunch of cases assigned today or what?! I had called on Friday and was told they didn't have my case on record yet and to wait 8 weeks!! Today, they told me my case was created on the 27th!! I was approved on Feb 13 from CSC. Not clear to me when my case was received in that case.

I am hopping this means that they have made some major progress on the 20-30 business delays that they have been quoting.

Saylin, can you please update the spreadsheet?

Are you sure that you've received the I-130 case number?? We received our I-129F also very fast, but the I-130 is still in progress...

Hello Saylin,

I have a small doubt.

I am the beneficiary and am filling DS-260 but I am little confused.

In my Birth certificate name of my father is SHAH Jayesh Piyushbhai (SURNAME---Fathers name--Grandfathers name) and in my passport my fathers name is SHAH Jayesh Piyushlal. A minor error in Grandfathers name. Actually both are correct as suffix "LAL" and "BHAI" are used interchangeably in India for males as a gratitude.

I will be filling out DS-260 with the name that appears in Birth Certificate.

I think not all country passports mention fathers name right....? and the true document for fathers name evidence is birth certificate. Right

Is this an issue???

I think this will be a big deal

The name on your passport must match the name on your burth cert

always

Ok, so I am about to email in my IV packet. I read in post 1 & 2 and the suggestion is to add the case number digitally to the PDF files. I am able to do this...however it does seem strange to be typing text ON the marriage license. The other documents there is space outside of the info (documentation) to type in the case number.

Since I am including the statement that these are exact copies of unaltered documents, I don't know if adding text to the marriage license would be the best idea...

Has anyone has an issue with adding the case number ON the marriage certificate? Any other suggestions on what might work better?

Thanks!

Just confused..Why is it that the document cover sheet cant be previewed when printing? does anyone have the same experience with this? DId you send a copy to your emails also? Is the document cover sheet the bar coded sheet being referred to that will be attached when submitting the documents? thanks!

Hey guys, please do not hate my questions... I am really confused and I know that some people have the same AOS related questions here, so it would be very helpful to get the answers... And again, sorry if I did not see the answers to these questions before. NVC process seems more confusing than USCIS.

1. I still do not understand how many copies of everything we need. For example, we need to send to NVC original police certificates, but then the checklist for the interview also states we need originals of police certificates. Do we need to get two originals of each police certificate?

2. Do we need to submit (i) a divorce decree, (ii) military records, if any, and (iii) birth certificate of beneficiary only?

3. Do we have to submit photographs proving our relationship to NVC AND TO THE EMBASSY?

4. Is it mandatory to fill out the I-261 form? What if we do not have an attorney or any other agent except for the two of us? Is the petitioner going to be an agent of the beneficiary?

5. The checklist for the interview in Warsaw states that at the interview we have to submit "a full marriage certificate (one copy for every spouse)". What does this mean "one copy for every spouse"? I can have only one original and a certified copy of it.

6. For those people who are eligible for electronic processing, how do you send certified copies of everything? It seems that it is better to send everything by mail...

Thanks!

Hello, I recomend printing out documents in post 1&2 and read the post really careful once in a while. I personally have these many times. All your questions are answered there. Focus your reading related to the stage you are in. If try to have all the answers at once is just going to be too much info all at once. Good luck

So, we are still waiting for court documents from Orangeville and Brampton Ontario Canada for our checklist. I am so desperate I texted Mayor Rob Ford for his assistance.

[Ja&Ka 10]

Is there anyone whose case was received at nvc on feb4,who has received case no

Our case!

NOA2 1/21

NVC received on 2/3

But we called this morning, and nothing yet... Now they are saying 30 business days...one more week isn't going to kill us. We ve waited for this for soo long already.

[B & G 200]

Guys,

I just need a confirmation here. I am 99.9% sure of the answer but Im on 4.5 hrs sleep and have done so much reading that I think my brain is on the verge of shutting down.

For AOS, my husband can use the I-864EZ as:

I am the sole beneficiary

He is not using co-sponsor

And will only be using his salary to meet the poverty guidelines.

Correct???

Thanks!

Saylin, sorry for your loss.

I was wondering if anyone knew when the 2013 transcript from here - http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

would be available for printing? I sent it via snailmail maybe 2-3 weeks ago and it still says they did not receive 2013 yet.

Also, can anyone help me with how to sign up via email for the next round of email notices after the first stage? I see some of you are getting notifications of arrival to NVC but I have not received any emails since I was approved- wondering if there is a new place to sign up for that?

Thanks in advance.

I used TurboTax to file my taxes and my 2013 transcript appeared about 7 days later on the IRS website.

Question - do you qualify for the I-864EZ?

If not - then no, put n/a or none. Do not leave anything blank.

i am defenintly getting a checklist , I left couple answers blank .

I-864 instruction says "If an item is not applicable or the answer is none, leave the space blank".

Am I looking at a wrong instruction??

Since I still have time until submitting this form, I just wanna make sure...

[Hirudin 21]

I think this will be a big deal

The name on your passport must match the name on your burth cert

always

My name is same in birth certificate and Passport. Issue is with last name of my father i.e. my grandfather

[Collie 122]

Is anyone putting case numbers and/or names on the AOS documents? I'm wondering if I should do this...
