Thanks - that makes sense now.

We called the NVC today and got fobbed off by them, but from reading this forum we just need to keep on calling until they acknowledge that they have recieved our approval from USCIS.

Then, once we have a number assigned we should have this all done and dusted in 3 or 4 months...

Give it two weeks after USCIS said they shipped your case to NVC and then call NVC. If NVC confirms they received it, things are good.

If not, you can call USCIS and ask to speak to a tier 2. Tier 2 can actually tell when excatly your file was shipped out.

After NVC receives your case, give it 25 days and then call NVC for a case #.

Once you get a case # and if you hae everything ready to go and no checklists, you should get through NVC in 1.5 months to 2 months.

Good luck

Some people call every day. I waited until two weeks after my NOA2 to call (still wasn't there), and then called weekly until it was. At what service center was your I-130? Sometimes they forward really quickly (I think CSC is the fastest) and sometimes it takes forever (TSC for sure - that's where MINE was!).

Good luck!

So I got the official email for missing the last page for the I864. I sent another I 864 a few days after I sent the first one because I was worried about the blanks. Do u guys think I should send another one exactly the same as the first (with blanks) just in case?

On the second I-864 you sent, did you send all the pages (including the one that was missing the first time)?

Ok, I have questions. Do they fingerprint you at your interview??? Ok, next question. Saylin the police cert I am sure you are familiar with in Canada are on a long yellow form. Well back when my husband was told at the border that he needed a waiver to visit the US I think that all that came up on their screen was that he had a assault charge. They had no way of knowing what kind of assault because on the yellow form all it says is assault. But when he applied for the waiver he had fingerprinting done and a more detailed report he received that stated it was assault 266cc which is simple assault which is why he was granted the waiver . I just read that as a general rule, simple assault or battery is not deemed to involve moral turpitude for purposes of the immigration laws. So this is giving me hope that we will not be denied a visa at our interview. If they see it was just a simple assault and not a crime of moral turpitude how could they ask us to get a waiver. I wish i could get answers. I am not sleeping well at all.

Have you consulted a lawyer? I know we need a waiver because my husband overstayed a B2 visa. He doesn't have a criminal history so I can't comment on the assault. We have a lawyer who has been useless for the first leg of this journey. But we really hired him because of the waiver.

I would recommend consulting with an immigration attorney who specializes in waivers. Or call the embassy and ask them. Have the waiver ready so you don't waste any more time. The waivers are taking 6-8 months to process at the NSC.

And yes, they fingerprint the beneficiary at the interview

Good morning ;-)Yes , I meant to send the last page the first time around but I guess when I made copies it got mixed in with the rest of some other paperwork . The only difference with the second I 864 is that I didn't leave blanks. NVC received it on the forth. I'm thinking I should wait until Tuesday n call to see if it was accepted?? I'm beating myself up over this :-(

Don't wait, you can call every day if you want to! And don't beat yourself up about it. Parts of those AOS forms are pretty hard to understand and it's really easy to make a mistake. I had to send our AOS forms in 3 times and felt like banging my head against the wall every time; even our accountant gave me the wrong info and I had to call up NVC to get them to help me with it.

So call and ask. They're not going to send you an email that it's 'been accepted'. You have to call and ask them.

I was approved at TSC. Approved 3/18. Shipped to NVC 3/21 Arrived, logged in and case number 4/1. So it is possible that it may go fast. It all depends on how often they ship. It also depends how fast they receive the files at the NVC. I called everyday when I found out my file was shipped. Just for kicks really. I didn't expect them to move so fast. I was calling 3 times a day after 5 days. I called in the early am on April 1st and they had not received it yet. I called at lunch time and I was given the case number and IIN number. I was told that they receive mail all day long at the NVC. If it makes you feel better to call everyday Go for it !!

Okay folks, I just realized I made a mistake on the i-864 (put the adjusted gross income instead of the total income!) and my joint sponsor did the same thing. But I just put it in the mail yesterday... :/

I am going to send correct i-864 forms after the weekend, but I'm wondering...can I just send the i-864 forms (without the supporting documents) or do I have to send the supporting documents for the i-864 as well? Worse yet, would I have to send the entire package again?

Thanks in advance for your help!

If the mistake was just the I-864 then I would resend that with support documents. No need to resend the entire package.

I had to do the same thing. I sent the tax transcript and a copy of the 1040 I filed along with the revised I-864 and the barcode coversheet. I didn't want to take a chance. I asked NVC last night if it would matter that I used the same barcode coversheet with the revision and she said no, that is just fine. They will get it just the same.

IMO, send it asap so you don't waste any time. I keep calling to see if they received the second AOS package. I hope it will get logged in today. It was received at the NVC on 4/15.(per USPS EXPRESS tracking)

You'll be better off sending it with all supporting docs. Think of it as a stand-alone packet! NVC will not pick and choose what to review! Give them the entire packet again to be sure you'll get better result!!

It varies by embassy/consulate so it's hard to say for sure, but I think you have a shot. My case complete was April 3 and I thought we had missed the cutoff for May assignments, but a "second round" of scheduling got us a date after all. Your best chance for a June interview will be if you get case complete late this month or very early next. I'll keep fingers crossed for you!
