NVC Filers - May 2014

[LoveMyTico 999]

Oh I hope you get good news!

I'm calling today after work.

OH THANKS ! ! ! ! Your mail got there one day before mine so I hope they have something good to tell you too !!

It is odd that they were reviewing my file without a reason... the mail was still unreviewed... Goes to show you that the process is all over the place . I would like to know how she is going to get them to review my file. Someone will have to go find my mail. I should have shipped it in a fluorescent FEDEX envelope.

GOOD VIBES ! ! ! !

Wow Its been so hard to log back on JV, but now i have a new User Name and it looks like I can. My laptop was infected with a Trojan Hourse that Killed it and my Yahoo account. I've been following this since the April NVC thread. But I could not log in with my new Ipad so all I could do was read and re-read. Hi Tyco its Steve Plant again

I don't know if I should even bother calling today for an update (doubt anything changed from Friday night). I never get anyone helpful who is willing to go above and beyond to help me out. They are all so blah with their responses. Sheesh! And I try to engage in conversation by asking them questions and they clearly just want me to hang up lol.

Anyway, hoping there is good news this evening from the rest of you.

Ditto. Wish we went DCF, as we knew nothing about the backlog in May of last year at USCIS.. we were only two weeks off from DCF.

Is DCF available to British? I'm not sure how that works, but I'd have taken advantage of DCF if that had been available to me.

There is no DCF for Canadians, unfortunately.

Only these offices can do DCF: http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-immigration-offices The UK is on the list.

Yes, we would have been able to do so if the US citizen is a residence of the UK for at least 6 months.. Should have gone for it really.. Would have been there by Sep/Oct last year! We can't change the past though!

I could use some help from anyone doing EP in China.

I sent in the first Optin Emails April 21st with no replay email. Then I read some more and found the the emails are not Optin anymore but ENROLL. So I sent another set of emails to NVCElectronic on the 22nd (still no reply) and again on the 23rd, Still no reply.

I have read that the hard part for all of us is the waiting for the Case Number and the IIN numbers (I did that waited 41 days). but if you have to wait for your Numbers to change from GUZ to GZO just to send in your AOS and IV emails its alot harder when there is no reply to an email to start the EP. I've been waiting 3 weeks now for them to read an Email. Just to be able to Start. AOS and IV bills have been paid all that is working. Just now stuck in this black hole of EP to save time (1-4 months?) at the Consulate.

So my question is how long is the EP process taking for those going through it for china at this time?

Can't do DCF here either (obviously). It seems like it used to be an option a few years back, but not anymore.

So the NVC just received the AOS and IV packages today. How long should I wait before I call to see if they've been scanned into the system and then later on, accepted?

Saylin I suggest to add dates in checklist column. Good idea? And maybe something like checklist type column (optional) . It's only suggest

I hear you about the AOS packet! It was by far the thickest I've sent in, cost me $90 to DHL from Costa Rica!!!

Make sure to include proof of employment. Even though I'm quitting my job here in CR to move (if they ever give me my damn case complete) they still wanted proof of employment from me.

$90 for sending a package!?

Do both the petitioner and beneficiary have to submit employment letters? Only the petitioner, correct?

Yeah, it used to be available in pretty much every country, but back in August 2011 they ended the DCF option in most countries.

Uh, that'd be a lot of work, especially since there's no checklist date on timelines, and some people don't put in their signatures when they send back a checklist response.

Not sure what you mean by checklist type. Like, if it was for AOS or IV?
