Thanks!!

Also, I just called the embassy and they told me it *does* need to go to the Casa Amarilla!

Gosh, this country needs to get their acts together. :rofl:

I'm going to triple check call the NVC when I get home. Not because I don't trust you, but because I need to hear it myself.

This whole thing has been such a nightmare!!!

THANK YOU!!! I'm now going to try to get all documents together to mail out IV package TODAY.

No problem..

I'll be calling again too. I need to hear it over and over. This is too important to play around with.

When you call, make them double check. They both had to check several places... They both came back saying the same thing...

Let me know what they tell you .. They really need to get their heads out of their a$$es.

and where the heck is Casa Amarilla? I'm sure my husband knows... but I never heard that before.

Hi guys,

I have an AOS question:

My form got sent back to me because I had the wrong amount on line 19 (2013 adjusted gross income). I used line 37 from my 1040, but was told by NVC I should've used line 22. Also, I had money from self employment that line 22 from the 1040 doesn't include. Do I include that as well?

Thanks!

If you did 1040EZ then you use : adjusted gross income.

If you did any other type of 1040 you use : Total income.

Woah, you sure?? My husband just got his police certificate and it says on it good for 90 days. He's at the Casa Amarilla today getting it authenticated. I told him to get three copies and we're sending in one with the IV packet. I don't want any checklists!

Also, I won't send in originals. I plan to send in certified copies. Don't want them losing my marriage certificate!!!

You understand that a certified copy should be exactly the same as an original? It's a copy from the issuer.

and where the heck is Casa Amarilla? I'm sure my husband knows... but I never heard that before.

It has an official name, but everyone knows it as the Casa Amarilla, because guess what- it's yellow! :idea: My husband dropped off his police record today to be apostilled and they said it might be done by next week. So have your husband start a few weeks ahead of time. The reports ARE valid for 90 days, not 30, so he can get it earlier. And you *don't* need the official request to get one. (but let's not tell the embassy or NVC that because I want to send in IV packet without the record! :) )

Once I call NVC this afternoon I'll let you know. The lady I talked to in NVC a while ago told me about the police report "we send you a request for it" but I assumed that meant the IV instructions not a checklist.

Hey all,

Called NVC today and they said they received our case Mach 19th, but it still is not "in the system", and told us to call back April 19th. So what do we think? Still plan on calling them everyday and checking on it, but hopefully this process speeds up a bit. Any info for us?

Thanks everybody,

Best of luck!!

Hi there,

I see that you had same problems with your parents case number too. How long did it take for NVC to change case # and what did you do to change it.

I have same problem, our daughter got correct embassy and I am not. I sent NVC e-mail with a request. Did you do the same or not?

Thank you.

Hi! That sounds about right. It takes about 20 business days (or a month) to get your case numbers. You could use this time to get your documents ready for the Affidavit of Support (AOS) and Immigrant Visa (IV). You'll have to get the documents that are in Portuguese translated as well. Make sure you read Saylin's wiki (see my signature), many times!

Oh, I'm sorry this happened to you! I hope they give special attention to your case since it was very obvious that this was their fault. Keep praying and believing that everything will be ok and will be fixed very soon! (Hugs)

Thank you so much for your support. :)(F)
