[Smoochies2011 19]

oh and considering I need to get a copy to send to NVC for the IV package then I'm gonna have to get my marriage certificate earlier and if it expires before my interview then if I am allow to I'm gonna have to get a new original one again :/

Well, I had to pull from your signature. And I actually want the dates the packages were SENT, not received or accepted.

Sorry about that. I sent the AOS package on 2/24 overnight delivery. Thank you.

Why were you told you can't call? Once NVC has your case there's no point calling USCIS anymore, but until NVC acknowledges it has arrived USCIS is still the only place that can give you information.

I was told the beneficiary can't call USCIS. Anyway, I will try calling USCIS. Can someone tell me how to get to a tier 2?

[theluckygirl 30]

Thanks Luckygirl, i was very worried with is email in check list they want updated 864 with recent total income. i can take that to the interview? no need to mail here at NVC? right? .

one more question, how much time it take to get the interview schedule letter.

Praying for your case completion soon.

Kalloo,

Based on what your wrote earlier, the NVC will schedule the interview at the New Delhi embassy, it takes around a week or two to get the letter according to dhwheels76. Also you need to send your wife the missing documents that the NVC has noted on the checklist to the interview with her. there is no need to email the NVC with the updated I864 with the recent total income.

Thank you.. being hopefull for a case complete this week.

Good luck!

I was told the beneficiary can't call USCIS. Anyway, I will try calling USCIS. Can someone tell me how to get to a tier 2?

The petitioner or the beneficiary can call the USCIS and the NVC. You just ask the rep that you need to talk to a tier 2 officer, and firmly state that you need to talk to a tier 2 officer...

I'M HAPPY YOU FINALLY GOT APPROVED AT USCIS. THAT WAS A LONG FREAKIN' TIME! I CALLED NVC LAST NIGHT AND MY CASE IS FINALLY COMPLETE THERE. HOPEFULLY THE NVC STAGE WILL BE A BREEZE ALL THE WAY THRU FOR YOU.

BOOMERRR I SENT MY ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS FOR THE I 130 WAAA NOW IM GONNA HAVE TO GET NEW ORIGINAL DOCS FOR THE EMBASSY INTERVIEW, GET THEM TRANSLATED AND ALL THAT STUFF I WAS PLANNING ON SENDING A COPY OF THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE I SENT FOR I-130 BUT GUESS WHAT MY SUPER SMART COUNTRY PUTS AND EXPIRE DATE ON MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES LIKE WHAT THE HECKKKKK SO HERE I GO AGAIN GONNA HAVE TO WAIT SO BY THE TIME I GET AN INTERVIEW IT DOESNT EXPIRE! WHY WOULD SOMEONE PUT AN EXPIRE DATE ON A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE IT MAKES NO SENSE AGRRR

To my understanding, the NVC will send all the documents you submitted to your embassy so there is no need for you to have an additional copy. But if that's a document that your embassy requires, I guess you should go ahead and get started on it.

Oh! I thought you meant can't call in general to ask for the information. You're correct, USCIS will only talk to the petitioner, silly as that is. Can the petitioner make the call then?

Hey Saylin,

Does NVC send a confirmation email for i-864 and IV support documents sent by email for electronic processing?

We received an auto 'Out of Office" notice for i-864 documents sent on Friday. Not sure if this automated reply was due to office closed for weekend.

We sent IV documents this evening (8:30PM) but did not get an auto response.

Do we wait for confirmation email or resend these documents again?

Please advise.

Thanks

When you submit documents electronically there should be an auto response that is sent right away. If you did not get an email right after sending in the documents, I would send them again.

For me the the actual confirmation email that the I-864 documents were received/in the system was 17 days after I emailed them to NVC.

Sorry about that. I sent the AOS package on 2/24 overnight delivery. Thank you.

No problem! Updated to 2/24 on the spreadsheet! When did you send the IV package?

[Collie 122]

So I just got off of the phone with the NVC, they have recieved and reviewed all the civil documents that we have sent (AOS packet, IV packet) the rep said all looks good. They have accepted the DS 261 (Agent of choice application), they are now just waiting to review the DS260 (Immigration Visa Application) so that can be added to the case. She said to wait for 30 business days. Do y'all really think it will take 30business days, since all other civil documents are in order and all the fees have been paid?

I also asked what month they are scheduling interviews, and the lady said that they are still scheduling for April interviews. I also asked what month the London embassy is still scheduling interviews, and the lady said still for April.... so does my husband have any hope for getting an interview this month, or is the NVC rep lady just lying?

I think they will all quote the standard 30 business days but honestly looking at the trend of the way that they have been cranking out approvals for documents submitted, I think that you will hear something before then. Its good news if London is still scheduling interviews too for this month.

mvc received ours on 3/17, so I hope we get our claim number soon.

btw, from the NVC site, on the IV section, they state that photocopies need to be certified (for passports). Was everyone aware of this? I thought just photocopies are okay.

Where are you reading it has to be certified? I see the following:

The applicant and each family member accompanying the applicant must submit a photocopy of the biographic data page from their respective valid passport.

Send a photocopy of your (and any family members’) biographic data page from valid passports. This is the page that shows your name, and your date and place of birth.

Note: Do NOT send passports to the NVC. Send only photocopies of the biographic data pages.

Regular photocopies do the trick

Thank you. Yeah, really long process, that approval alone took one year away from my life. Congratulations on your case complete and best of luck for your interview.

So, if we haven't received ENROLL acceptance yet from NVC, then we probably WON"T even get an auto reply when emailing AOS or IV?? But if we do have acceptance then we should receive an auto reply??

Well, the petitioner never called the USCIS while our case sat there for 1 year and he only made a call to NVC once to ask whether the case was received by them, that's it. I had been bugging him to call the NVC to find out whether or not the case was received but for the past three days working days he slept through a 7:00 a.m. alarm and kept saying he would call tomorrow. The tomorrow never came and I convinced him to set up a Skype account for me today. I am not counting much on him calling USCIS.
