How old is the applicant completing the DS-260? I ask because I think the age you enter is what determines what questions will be available for you. My wife and I are in our 30's, so she had to answer all the normal questions: places she lived since age 16, previous employments for the last 10 years, and higher education institutions she attended. When I completed the DS-260 for my 13 year old daughter, I did not get prompted for any of those questions. Obviously my daughter wouldn't be asked something like employment for the last 10 years, etc.

I am 30+ yrs old with previous work for past 10 yrs and higher education. The NVC supervisor login to our DS260 form and said there must be a missing tab "previous" for work/edu/training. As no one can help us even we realized this issue, I submitted the form yesterday and expecting a checklist. Hope it would not delay the case too long.

Just received false checklist..... :o....tip toe...closer to finish...

Even though I have read and knew it (false checklist) was coming.....my heart still missed a couple of beats.....

false.png

so you have sent your AOS and IV package a day after we sent ours, but why is our false checklist different from yours. Are we going to receive another check list like yours? How many false checklists we will receive if everything is submitted and no issues with docs? Btw we have already submitted ds260.

Not everyone submits previous work or education. I didn't and they knew I had previous jobs from the g-325a. It seems to be random who it asks for previous work or education and who it doesn't.

Case complete yesterday. Waiting for interview dat hope i can have may interview.thank God

Congrats!

Hello :).

Several people (including Saylin in the wiki) have mentioned that nothing should be left blank in form i-864 and you should type "none" or N/A. However, I found myself trying to do so and some parts of the form look kind of ridiculous lol (see attached thumbnail). Should it really be like that?

Does anyone have screenshots of this form- besides the sample form on the site...A lot of spaces are blank there, so I don't feel like I should follow that sample....

Sorry if it’s a dumb question, but I am scared of getting a checklist :(

Thank you in advance! And special thanks to Saylin…For her hard work reading every post, writing the wiki and updating the spreadsheet :)

I don't know what I would have done without VJ!

The NVC told me today that my AOS was received on 4/3 and the IV packet on 4/7 and to wait 6 - 8 weeks for them to input them into the system :ranting:

Now, I know the wait isn't that long. Hopefully I will get "Case Complete" sometime in the next two or three weeks. :clock:

6-8 weeks sounds excessive but it does take them about 20 business days to review each package.

How did you managed to put NA in date of birth blocks.

I will write with hand after printing....

I just wrote it, I don't know, maybe it has to do with the version of your pdf viewer?

:) try writing on the form directly on the web browser (I used chrome) and then saving the doc...

So... That means that putting N/A everywhere is the way to go? lol... like my previous thumbnail?

Hello everyone, and good day to all. I just went through Saylin's guide to the NVC but still had a question. I received my first correspondence from the NVC today. Now i have to pay the AOS fee of $88. However neither me or my wife has a US bank account. So in order to pay online, can my father in law pay on my behalf using his bank details?

After 2 weeks of leaving messages for my lawyer and not hearing back from them I made and appointment and told them how pissed off I was so he got his little helpers moving and I got an e-mail telling me NVC finally received my case today! So excited my case is finally moving along after almost 13 months of waiting :-)
