NVC Filers - April 2014

[Collie 122]

whoo hoo lets go April! Just paid my Dad's IV fee last night and hoping for the magic words of "case complete" this month. Sending away the civil documents today! Lets see some real action this month NVC!

I called NVC today over Skype at 7:30 a.m. The first time I had to wait 15 minutes and the call was answered but no response, then the call ended. Second time I called and was answered in 12 minutes by a very nice CSR, Jean. When I gave over my USCIS receipt number, she said they have not yet received my case and I need to wait 8 weeks. I am concerned whether or not Nebraska sent my petition to NVC, but I am relieved to not have got a rude person on the phone and feeling good about it. Also, today I sent the supporting documents to my husband so that when the time comes to send them in, he can send them and they reach in a day. If I were to send them, they would reach in 3-4 days.

This EP process is slowing me down. I was under the assumption that it was supposed to be quicker. Well it's not. I could have mailed out my AOS on March 25, but since I opted for EP, I now have to wait till I receive ENROLL acceptance. Been waiting 2 weeks from first ENROLL sent and 1 week from second ENROLL sent. While waiting I could have sent in by mail both my AOS and IV. This is ridiculous. For something that's supposed to make things faster it sure seems slower.

I called last night and the lady told me that since I haven't received acceptance for ENROLL to mail both AOS and IV in. I called again this morning and the lady this morning told me I could NOT mail anything in because I opted for EP. Conflicting info once again.

Getting very frustrated.

You can always get on the phone with tier 2 at USCIS and ask them if your case has physically left the service center yet if you're getting worried. I hope they'll get it to NVC for you soon!

The question says, "My total income (adjusted gross income on IRS form 1040EZ) as reported on my Federal tax returns for the most recent 3 years was"

What this means is that you use your Total Income for all forms except the 1040EZ. If you filed the 1040EZ, it's the Adjusted Gross Income. If you filed anything else including the 1040, it's the Total Income.

We havent filed any 1040EZ so it means we hav to fill in wid the details from 1040.., am i right?

Correct. Use the "total income" figure from your 1040.

On hold with the NVC, hopefully get some good news...

This was discussed somewhere in the I-130 March 2013 filers' thread and I was told I could not call the USCIS. I just now saw Saylin's spreadsheet and those people whose cases were approved from Nebraska as late as 10th March have added an NVC received date. I and Leury (NOA2 date 3/10) seem to be the only ones from Nebraska whose cases have not been received by NVC yet.

I echo Bos_Lhr. You should definitely call USCIS and ask if it has physically left the building then track that sucker until you know it has arrived at the NVC just to make sure it doesn't get shipped to the national records center by mistake. I have seen that happen on here.

So I just got off of the phone with the NVC, they have recieved and reviewed all the civil documents that we have sent (AOS packet, IV packet) the rep said all looks good. They have accepted the DS 261 (Agent of choice application), they are now just waiting to review the DS260 (Immigration Visa Application) so that can be added to the case. She said to wait for 30 business days. Do y'all really think it will take 30business days, since all other civil documents are in order and all the fees have been paid?

I also asked what month they are scheduling interviews, and the lady said that they are still scheduling for April interviews. I also asked what month the London embassy is still scheduling interviews, and the lady said still for April.... so does my husband have any hope for getting an interview this month, or is the NVC rep lady just lying?

[dilmera 124]

Saylin..

I have access to your NVC spreadsheet now.

please don't ask me how I did it.

While you are busy with job, I will help you to add updates into it.

Also,I am trying to make nice background in the sheet with different colors.

Thanks

Ha ha ha, for real?
