NVC Filers - May 2014

[bdrew612 1,071]

there should be a trigger effect you would think... once one fee is paid the other should become available... I still think they are trying to control the workflow. They have control over what gets released. I have no evidence, its just the only thing I can think of because nothing else makes sense . Mine were available together and I paid them at the same time. You can see my timeline. I think ours was unusual.. I would understand if EVERYONE experienced a delay going from paying one to the other, but its really random. I can't wait to get outta the NVC. I want to see my husband RIGHT NOW !!!

My husband and I have a very open & shut case but having both fees available at the same time was the ONLY thing that made hiring an attorney an attractive option. But, the attorney we talked to was about as useful as a spoon in a knife fight, so we decided to do this on our own.

I must remember to remove logic before attempting to understand the NVC process. Silly me!

Ugh, just talked to Lisa! Got to be one of the dumbs there. I asked her questions and she kept saying "I don't know" "I don't know" and she also claimed that they haven't answered my case into the system, but when I called on Wednesday they are in the process. I swear these people don't know ######. I am annoyed.

Also, I have this feeling that she didn't even put in my csi number. She replied so quickly and I usually hear when they are typing.

I am calling tonight.

Hey,I also called to NVC and joy picked up a phone.She said wait for exactly 30 days in order to get NVC number and then call us on 16 april./...

According to the AOS I-864 Checklist Instructions:

If you provide a photocopy of your tax return(s), you must include a copy of each and every Form W-2 and Form 1099 that relates to your return(s). Do not include copies of those Forms if you provide an IRS transcript of your return(s) rather than a photocopy.

Awesome. Thank you so much for the info!

USCIS and NVC stress- I have a breakdown about once a week. I got all hopeful with my AOS approval the other day, but now I'm realizing it'll still probably be at least another two weeks until IV approval.

My birthday is on the 13th (Tuesday). Wouldn't CC be a lovely gift??

All I know is that when I get case complete I'm going DRINKING!!

I told my husband about you being over there and how we have similar timelines . If we end up with the same interview date, drinking will be a requirement that day. I'm sure there is a cute little bar close to the embassy HA HA

I think it will be less than 2 weeks. Just a gut feeling .. not that my gut feelings mean much these days...

LoveMyTico, our fees were both available at the same time and we paid them at the same time. I wonder how often that happens and if its something they control or not.

The two bills are only invoiced at the same time if you have a lawyer/attorney attached to the case. They're automatically selected as agent, thus by-passing the DS-261. For everyone else, the reason the IV bill isn't invoiced at the same time as the AOS bill is because the IV bill is dependent on the DS-261 being submitted and accepted.

I have a lawyer, that's why they were available together. The ds261 is already complete when the case gets scanned in.

Do you have a lawyer?

You have to read Saylin's WIKI. Send what is required unless you want a checklist.

Unless you have an extension for 2013 taxes, you'll need to submit either the complete tax return or a transcript. W-2s alone will not suffice.

it's been taking 30 days to get a case number so dont bother calling to be honest. call on may 15 or 16th for a case number.

[Fabian&Rossy 120]

The reason for this is that I arrived at NVC so they thought hummmmm she's here might as well take more breaks she's waited this long what's a little longer. :protest: :protest: :protest: :protest: :protest: :protest:

LOL! Well the joke will be on them because you're gonna be so ready when your case starts rolling again. You should be getting your case number pretty soon, right?

I have my one-way ticket to go already purchased and will fly in about 10 days.

I will purchase three one-way tickets for us to travel here before I leave.

The window of travel is narrow and price increases for short notice ticket purchases

verses the unlikely event of having to pay a change fee for any delay in travel

was the determining factor. Plus buying early yields more choices for POE and

guarantees no problems with getting the seats we want.

My son is already a US citizen. We obtained his Consular Report of Birth Abroad

after he was born so he already has U.S. Passport and SS#.

You sir are always on the ball! I wanna be just like you when I grow up!

I live three blocks from the USA embassy, I know ALL the bars around there

are you kidding? Doctor told me to give up coffee because she said when you are stressed all the time and then add coffee to the mix, your body never gets a chance to rest...You are in a constant hype. Stress releases cortisol which creates belly fat.... ( maybe not so much in men) I used to drink a pot of coffee myself. I tried to switch to tea but I just don't like tea. I have 2 decaf's a day because I really really love coffee. I wouldn't say I gained a ton of weight but I do feel disgusting and I know stress is the cause. Since I gave up coffee, I feel so tired all the time... I just can't win.

Stress is evil and this process is just not good for your health. It causes tension between spouses and anxiety 24/7. I hope this is over soon so we can all start to live normally. I dream of the day when I don't have to worry about calling immigration or when I might see my husband again.

I want to live a normal life.

Now it explains my belly fat....USCIS and NVC fault!
