OK, THETIMEISNOW felt disrespected... Can we leave it at that ? Please? There was no problem with the information being given it was the delivery. Please don't continue the bullying. We all know how everyone feels. LET IT GO...

I second that. VJ has been a life saver for us. If I did not find VJ I would have gone into severe depression, anger that turned into rage at USCIS and their inefficiency, and also the unfairness of the US Gov. You guys helped me all the way thru' these intricate steps and do's and don'ts of this journey.

For example, when I sent in the I-130 I did not 'front-load' the application with secondary evidence (I did not have VJ on my side then). But when I sent in the IV package to NVC we sent in all the secondary evidence we had so the CO at the consulate would have a chance to review the whole package and the interview would be smoother (fingers crossed).

So yes, let us help each other. Give special thanks to those few (Ms. Saylin's name would be at the top of that list) who are taking the time out of their busy schedule and helping others.

Best wishes to all of you.

Ms. Saylin has already responded to you. Let me add a few more things here.

Please review this document from the US-Consulate Mumbai. You will get a very good idea of which vaccinations you will need and the fees involved for each vaccination

http://photos.state.gov/libraries/mumbai/395145/pereirals/Panel-Physicians-Updated13Dec2013.pdf

My wife (and her parents) could not locate the paperwork for her vaccinations. I answered NO about vaccinations on DS-260. So either she will get the vaccinations at the time of Medical or she will go to a local vaccination clinic and start getting them while waiting for the interview. That way she won’t need to take all these vaccinations all on the same day during Medical. Needless to say that the vaccinations at the medical are substantially more expensive than local clinics.

Thanks for posting that.

Hello all, number of educational institutions attended will be 2 or 3 on the DS-260 form? I am trying to get answers to all the fields while I wait for my case number. I have done my graduation, so do I have to write about my 10th class, 11th and 12th classes (intermediate), and 13th, 14th, and 15th classes (graduation)?

I am re-posting this question as I did not get any answer. I have attended high school, intermediate and graduation from 3 different institutes so will I have to give details about all three or just intermediate and graduation? Someone answer please.

You start from high school and go up, so for you, you'd have 3 institutions to list.

Welcome....make yourself at home...please take time to read Saylins Ultimate NVC Guide http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

It will answer many of your questions. It may take some time before your case arrives at NVC and a case # is assigned so start working

on your AOS and IV packages during the wait. Then when things start happening here you will be ready.

OMG... OMG, you finally got it!!! So very happy to see you here. Welcome! Start by reading Saylin's wiki on the NVC process, fill up the form asking her to add you in her NVC filers spreadsheet, the links to both are given in her signature. I think among the March filers, it took you the longest to get an approval. Hope this stage has a smooth sailing.

No, she is not an employee, but she still represents VJ, a place where she willingly donates her time and experience.

So then everyone who has donated their time and experience by answering a question to help someone else represents VJ? I think not!! We are all just here to help each other. This process is stressful enough without this stuff going on in a place that is supposed to help us and give us encouragement.

Yup!

Case number should be written on the top right of all documents (except the bar-coded cover sheet and cover letter) for both packages. The purpose of this is in case a paper gets lost, it can easily find its way back to the case if it has the case number on it.

DOH!! LOL I forgot to put case number on my AOS package(I was in too much of a rush to get it out) before I emailed it out. Oh well I think I'm going to have to end up resending it anyways as I sent it before receiving ENROLL confirmation

Well, for email, it's probably not as important, since, you would think, they could just re-print it out. But I wouldn't be surprised that NVC could lose an email :lol:

We are using a friend who earns over 60k as a co-sponsor, what form will our co-sponsor fill? I-864 or I-864A?

Both the petitioner and joint sponsor will fill out an I-864.

The form I-864A is typically only for spouses of joint sponsors contributing their income.
