NVC Filers - March 2014

[gwenstar 66]

I just logged in and I am now able to do the IV application. So excited!!!!

After hitting send on the Supporting Documents it just makes me feel nervous and hope I got everything right. I suppose NVC will be more than happy to let me know if I got anything wrong. lol.

Anyhow - still stoked to keep moving along!

Perhaps you mean you're having trouble posting a signature? Go to your profile, click 'edit profile' and then click on 'Signature'. That is how you create the information that appears along with your posts.

No, the timeline entry is not working for me. I am sure it is simply a browser issue, but I am at work and don't have time to troubleshoot my browser right now, I did want the data available to add to the spreadsheet.

I-864 --> Part 6 --> item 13.

If I worked only in 2013 i must leave this item empty right?

[bkghosh 121]

Has NVC issued case # for anyone in March yet? Our case was received on Feb 3rd by NVC and it is 20 working days already (as they originally said).

[Josh & Mishka 5]

wondering how long it will take at Embassy now for expedite case

You have to file the last 3 years tax return, but only have to send the most recent year. If you only filed for 2013 you need to give reason as to why you did not file for 2012 and 2011. How to do his and what is needed is in the instructions for the I-864.

Hello, I got approved March 4th, could you add me to your spreadsheet? I have a ton of questions. Thanks

Added! Please update your timeline...

And read posts 1 and 2, and especially my wiki since you're going through Canada. Make sure to read everything at least twice before asking questions as I'm betting most, if not all, questions can be answered by simply READING!

Is it a good idea for the petitioner's original (or certified copy) of the divorce decree to be sent into the NVC with the DS-260 / IV packet? Or should the beneficiary bring the petitioner's original or certified copy of the divorce decree to the interview at the consulate? I understand it's unnecessary but there have been some questions regarding this and I did not see a clear answer.

Thank you

Petitioner's stuff isn't needed in the IV package. It can be brought to the interview just in case though.

also add me to the spreadsheet. thanks!

Hello Saylin,

I got the NOA2 by Feb 27th, could you add me to your spreadsheet?

Thanks

Gosh darn it, the AOS fees are still not available to pay! You would think that this would be automatically invoiced as soon as the DS-261 is complete.

Remember, the AOS fee is part of the AOS track and the DS-261 is part of the IV track. The AOS and IV tracks have nothing to do with one another and run independently of each other.

Hi, I'm pretty much following on Smitten's heels in terms of dates. I was transferred from NBC to TSC. You can add me to the spreadsheet.

I got my NOA2 on 12/30/2013, NVC received my case on 1/21/2014, got my case # over the phone on 2/26/2014 and filled out my DS-261 yesterday 3/4/2014.

Good luck to everybody and hoping for fast processing for all.

So it's a good idea to send paystubs with AOS to show current income, but I've seen posts saying 6 months of them(this seems a little excessive to me) how many paystubs should I send?

If they have a YTD (year-to-date) column, then technically you only need one. But, since they're optional, how much you send is up to you. But, as another member replied, since pay stubs are to show current income and there's only been 2 months so far in 2014, you won't be sending much as it is.

I-864 --> Part 6 --> item 13.

DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING BLANK. Fill in the other years and write $0.00 for the income amounts. You'll have to attach an explanation as to why you didn't file in 2012 and 2011. If you don't, you'll get a checklist.

Actually I didn't work in 2010 (student), so I had a no file then (but I worked in 2011, 2012) and I didn't get a checklist response on that. I only got a checklist for a current paystub (which I thought was odd bc I don't make enough, so I have a joint sponsor)

Lol this made me laugh this morning -thanks

Check the portal, I was just able to pay!

[Collie 122]

Yippeee I just paid! Now I am wishing that I had a rubber stamp to stamp on their case numbers on each page of the AOS packet. My hand is going to be sore writing on each page.

On a side note, the NVC gave me an error when I first tried...turns out that it doesn't like hyphenated names and wants to have the surname typed all together. Nothing is ever simple with this immigration malarkey.

Hi Collie,

What are the best practices for the supporting documents? Writing the NVC case# on each supporting document is recommended? Thanks.

[Collie 122]

Yes, Saylin recommended it in an earlier post in case documents get separated and the NVC did this morning too when I asked.

If we can email everything to NVC, should we still put case# on all pages?
