NVC Filers - April 2014

[Lakehouse 293]

Hi everyone on VJ, got my case approved april 1st at CSC, anyone has any idea on when will NVC will receive my case and when i will get a case number?

As a general statement, it could be a week or a bit more to arrive at NVC from CSC. It currently takes roughly a month to get the case number after it arrives at NVC.

GUYS MY WIFE'S VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED!

I would like to thank everyone for their help! VJ definitely made the process a lot easier for me!

Special thank you to Saylin, really appreciate all your help!

For those of you that are going through the process, I wish you all the best of luck! Hang in there!

congrats!!!

Congrats.

Did you submit police char certificates?

I heard from another VJ member, and also from the DOS website that PCC are not needed anymore from Pakistan; so just trying to understand if you also did not send them at all.

Thanks

Thanks.

That is correct, no PCC is required from Pakistan. Since my wife already had one made, we submitted it anyway (there is no harm if you do submit one). Wife even took an updated one to the interview but they never asked for it.

Great, you will see it here once done row 709 or something yay for you!

Called and spoke to Cranky Pants Agent Brady (a woman, btw) who very exasperatedly told me that they needed 30 days to review my civil documents, so I shouldn't call back until the second week in May. (hahaha, no.) She also told me that they can't see the DS260 or when it was filled out, but they also need 30 days to review that. And that I should just wait until they contact me to find out what's going on with my case. Ok, whatever, talk to you tomorrow.

I just talked with Guss or Russ...he was very nice, still gave me 30 days blah..blah...However, immediately after I finished with him, I received an email about resubmitting my checklist. I already did it, so what does it mean? does it mean that they just haven't looked at it yet? I know they logged it in on March 31st. Should I call them again?

Hello VJ Members,

My wife's case is currently at NVC. 2 weeks ago I sent them the IV package and had submitted the DS-260 as well. Got a checklist today in the email concerning the IV package and this is what is says:

______3 - BIRTH CERTIFICATE:___________

The document you submitted is not an original or certified copy of an original issued by the appropriate government authority. The document must be an original, or a certified copy of the original, bearing the original seal or stamp from the issuing authority.

______5 - MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE:_______

The document you submitted is not an original or certified copy of an original issued by the appropriate government authority. The document must be an original, or a certified copy of the original, bearing the original seal or stamp from the issuing authority.

The two respective documents I had submitted were copies and it had attestation stamps on them. They were the ones that I had initially sent with the I-130 when I filed the petition with USCIS. If they approved the case with the same copies, then why is NVC sending me this checklist?

Are they asking for originals or are they asking for copies with some sort of government stamp on them? I'm not sure if they're certified. If not certified, then how do I "certify" them? I'm confused and would like some help with this. I tried calling the NVC but the number is either busy and/or I can't reach a customer service rep. Thanks.

Anyone have experience mailing the payment to the St. Louis loxbox? Just wanted to know how long it normally takes for the status to update.

Oh can't update timeline right now but IV bill just came today. 5 business days after DS 261 was completed

They are definitely asking for original copies. At NVC you have to send original copies.

False Checklist!!!

Received checklist a minute ago to submit civil documents for DS-260. The civil documents (IV package) were received by NVC on 3/31 (USPS Priority Mail). Yet a checklist....

Should I call to find out what is going on?

Hi Saylin,

Check the NOA2 for Infoneeded and miezceegee in the NVC spreadsheet. I thought I should mention it. Sometime I just play around with the data, looking at different timeframes, average days from one date to another, sorting by different headers etc so those two pulled a negative. Hope it helps to fix those date. Thanks

Oops, thanks for spotting that! I fixed the two years to 2013 as it should be

At the NVC stage of the process, you have to submit the original copies of the civil documents.
