NVC Filers - April 2014

[Ja&Ka 10]

Hey guys just wanted to share an email I received today from NVC regarding my AOS packet that I emailed in:

You recently sent us an email with attached files. One or more of those files was either encrypted or password protected. Please resubmit your attachments without encryption or password protection so we may complete our review.

I know that I did not password protect my attachments but I did send in 3 JPEG's on accident in my first two AOS packets (I sent it a total of 4 times) so I am assuming this is what they send out when you dont follow the instructions and only email in PDF's. Just wanted to share in case anyone else runs into this. I am sure since they are processing my March 13-14 email with JPEG's they will soon open my March 17th email with all PDF's.

It is interesting that they did not send this to me in regards to my original March 6th submission which also contained JPEG's. Instead they sent me the usual "wait 20 days" email.

Thank you for sharing! It gives all of us EP people a fair estimation! Our AOS package was sent 2 days after yours. So, I will keep an eye on your progress!

Hello all, i have paid AOS fee and received cover letter from NVC in email for AOS documents.

Could someone please help me if for IV documents, will i receive a different cover letter again from NVC?? or it is the same??

Also, we have a joint sponsor (father-in-law), he and his wife are already a sponsor of 3 people (thus making total household of 5). I will be 6th one. Could someone please update me what should be the income for 6 people in California. The first person he sponsored was in 2005, so should that person is still a part of household or not (because in this case total household size will be 4).

Hi everyone

I am joining the April thread and I see many of my September friends here. I was transferred to TSC and approved on 21 March. File was shipped to NVC on 26 March. Hubby going to call on Friday to see if they have received our file. That will be nine days. Look forward to going through NVC journey with you all. Let's hope we are not here too long.

Hi, I've read the wiki and it stated there that NVC's email notifying the petitioner/applicant that the case has been completed is severly delayed, and suggests to call NVC to get an answer. Is it also possible that their CEAC link to check status could have delays as well?

Noticed you have not updated the Spreadsheet yet...

Submitted changes to Spreadsheet.

An amazing day, yesterday...when I submitted the DS-260

it seemed like a thousand pounds was lifted off my shoulders.

Looking at plane tickets now. The NVC stage is so different

than USCIS. From the time I got my case # it was game on.

Not checking CEAC 5 times an hour feels weird.

We have a similar timeline (from approval stage at least!)... Nice to see a fellow Aussie in the thread we're also holding off until Friday to call NVC and see whether our case is there. It's the only night of the week I can stay up late enough to call! I could try during the day, but not exactly convenient with work... Bring on the end of daylight savings so we can call earlier

Yes...call NVC for status of your case.

Have not noticed any delay in CEAC.

From Case # to DS-260 in 18 days.

Ok Saylin, let's April bring us more luck

I just want today to be available to pay IV fee

[INDIM 27]

Folks, Could someone pls help here:

Wiki says that following docs required in packet IV:

-Original or Certified Copy of beneficiary's birth certificate, PLUS A PHOTOCOPY

-Original or Certified Copy of marriage certificate, PLUS A PHOTOCOPY

-Original police certificate(s)

Does certified copy means an attested copy (by Notary) of the original document?

Also, why do i need to send Original PCC, can't i send photocopy of the same ( i will produce original at the time of interview and i will mention it in cover letter).
