NVC Filers - April 2014

[Eastyo 100]

Guys, Question... Travelling to the US while my case it at the NVC? I am a UK citizen, my wife is a US citizen and we both live in the UK and are in full time grad school here, we need to fly back for a family funeral and will only be in the US wednesday-sunday as we have classes. Is this going to be ok at POE...?

... We are also going to fly Manchester - Dublin - Chicago so we clear POE in Dublin.... I can take a letter from our university (for both) a copy of our class schedule a copy of our lease and my wife will have her UK residency card showing she is on a Tier 4 UK student visa and the course ends in September.... (to be honest the £20k her course fees cost me should mean that we are serious about completing the course!)... does this sound ok?

Also, if you clear POE in Dublin all is good? there are no more checks in the US?

Thanks to anyone who can help ASAP as we need to book the tickets today

Hey guys - I know Saylin's wiki says DO NOT leave fields blank and to mark them as N/A or None where appropriate, even though the instructions says to leave it blank. What did everyone do? Did you get a checklist for leaving fields blank?

That sounds like a very legit reason to go visit the US and you have a lot of evidence about returning to the UK. You should be fine at the POE.

Of course bring all evidence with you of returning, return tickets, and any paperwork you have from USCIS about your case. Bring NOA2 for sure. At the POE remember to be polite, honest and give short and to the point answers. Don't show any paperwork unless they ask you for it, or you think it is relevant to show, like return ticket and if they ask about your pending visa. I'm not sure about the POE checks, there may be more once you arrive in the US I can't say for sure.

From my experience: I went to visit my husband in the US for 2 weeks just after receiving my NOA2. I didn't have a lot of evidence of returning to Canada with me. All I had was the NOA2 and return ticket. The officer said that was all he needed to see and let me through.

Hey, thanks . We were not going to chance a US return, but for this we sort of have to.

So i should bring my USCIS and NVC paperwork? What about a receipt or letter from my lawyer? Is this to "prove" that i am trying to do things the right way if asked?

Yes bring everything you can to prove you are doing things the right way. NOA2 is a must

Your status will stay "at NVC" until an interview is scheduled and your case is shipped, at which point status will be "in transit." When it reaches the embassy or consulate, it updates to "ready." I think after that the last status change is to "issued"

Thanks so much, BOS. Guess the "status" doesn't really give you many hints, eh?

For all those active and even those who just lurk, please send in the form to update the spreadsheet with your information to Saylin. 99% of the time, I am mobile because I have a teething, miserable 6, almost 7 month old. I cannot see signatures or timelines while mobile.

I do, however, have the spreadsheet open on another page to quickly review information on every case complete. It really helps to have that information on there, so please update.

Hey Sukie, check your inbox.

Where in Mexico are you, if I may ask?
