NVC Filers - May 2014

[lucybelle 453]

I think even after I receive a CC and interview date, I will still be in shock until my husband comes. Then, even when he's here and in our home, I will still have to keep pinching myself. Until he gets annoying.... Then I'll know for sure it's all real haha.

I (luckily) already live with my husband but the last three years of my life have been consumed by visa #######. First my residency here (which after a full year of "awaiting signatures" I've given up on) and the for my husband. I think when we finally cross into the USA I might breakdown into hysterical sobbing/laughter. I don't remember what it's like to not be dealing with visas. That's what you get for loving a foreigner huh??!!

I know exactly how you feel..UK visas for 4 years, now this! But it's going to be sooo wonderful when it's all over don't you think??

Haha, what more can I ask for? Beautiful northeast, Brits (can I say, I looooove British accents!), and wonderful VJ members!

If you go through Fargo, yes, that would count! You can stop for gas and I'll come over

I'll let my husband do all the talking since he has a British accent :-P

In the Sept thread, we had 3 couples with USC in Texas and British spouse!

I think i will try to dream that too- it would be sooo nice- i am not really thinking it will happen, but how cool if it did!!

It would be awesome sauce!!!!

My husband is probably regretting falling in love with an American and not a local girl lol. Poor thing.

Yeah but the northeast would give you and your husband each the weather you love in turn, and it'd bring you back closer to Montreal! Portland Maine has a ferry to Nova Scotia now, I can't wait to take it with the husbandperson this summer. We're very excited for Canadian funtimes!

I'm a boston girl myself. I can't imagine living anywhere else in the US.

LOL!! I could listen to him talk all day so no worries on that!!

[Ryan&Joanna 44]

ok.. 24-25 Apr is not too bad.. still ridiculous but hey! Hopefully both of us will be lucky and have a case complete by end of next week!

Good luck to you too!!

Me toooo!!! Well my documents were all received on the 29th of April so we're pretty close. I don't however know what 'scanned' means. Does that mean input into their system? If so, that would take another 5 day to a week after being received, right?

Anyway I want a case complete by May, not too much to ask right?

I sent only my 2013 transcripts. The only reason I was check listed is because the lawyer used the wrong dollar amount. I fixed it and sent another copy of the 2013 transcript with the coversheet. It was accepted just fine after the correction.

I did not provide any 2012 or 2011 income.

This actually makes me feel better and a bit relieved; since we didn't submit proof of income with my joint sponsor's i-864 (he doesn't have proof of current income as he recently left his old job and founded a new company). We just attached transcripts and an explanation letter.

Hopefully no checklists (I guess it's possible!)

Good luck LoveMyTico, hopefully your nightmare will end soon

Hello vj members! I found this site through a friend and thought someone here might be able to help me.

my question is to any of the members that got their PCC done in Mumbai, India. I just filled out the AOS fee and form and next is the IV fee and form. I was told by a family member that PCC takes about a week or two to do but my husband registered online at Passport seva to get passport clearance and the automatic date generated to get it is June 19th, this is a while from now! I was wondering if there is a quicker way to get the passport clearance in Mumbai? PLEASE HELP we do not want to wait a over a month to just get the PCC!!

Thank you! this is a great site wish i had known about it earlier!

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to this, but there are many here who probably do. Anyone?

CASE COMPLETE AS OF THIS AFTERNOON

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!! Although 'snap' I thought I'd beat you to it!

We flew back from LA to Sydney last night and have just arrived home! Before we left for the airport in LA we went to the Getty Centre which was amazing (in case any of you are in the LA area - go check it out!). Anyway, I thought I would check my emails by using their free wifi whilst me and my OH were walking around the galleries. So I did and I saw an email from NVC (my heart fell and I let out a groan of 'oh great another friggin' checklist blah blah blah). They were kicking up a stink about my UK police cert and my Australian police cert and generally being pedantic about everything so much so that I thought I would give myself a week off from logging into VJ and calling them because it was getting a bit too much for my mental health! etc). Anyway I opened the email and it's a letter saying that my interview has been scheduled for Sydney on June 3rd. I was like 'WHAT THE FRICK'!!! - but obv couldn't shout in the gallery so we ran outside and screamed into the Santa Monica Mountains! So there we go after almost a year (my PD is 7th June), I finally have an interview! I don't know what date my case complete is must be Mon, Tues or Wed of this week I guess. I am so relieved! And I'm hoping for a case complete for the rest of you all as well. The end is in sight!

Huge congratulations!!! Again, the surprise of it all is half the excitement for me, how fun!!

Phew, glad I'm not the only one! Lucky that you married one! I married an American who speaks with a boring American accent

Thanks alot

I filed my taxes on April 14th, and was able to get my tax transcript today, May 15th. I filed MFS, and it was a paper filing - not an electronic one. According to the IRS site, I should not have expected my transcript until June 15th, but I guess I got lucky.

My AOS was submitted on April 9th, and was scanned in on April 15th, but passed with flying colors (no 2013 tax info requested). But I have the 2013 transcript up my sleeve if and when we ever get a case complete and an interview!!!
