NVC Filers - May 2014

[Sukie 1,463]

That's a relief!

I don't post here very often and realise it probably gets frustrating to see the same dumb questions being asked over and over - that being said I'll have another look at Saylins wiki and see how I go!

Hey Bulwara Road, and all Australians in the pipeline...we've had a terrible time with NVC and police reports. The reviewer of our file has coded that my partner needed a police report from EACH state in which she has lived. Of course, Australia now has a federal police check, and you only need ONE report. We would have had Case Complete as of April 29 if the reviewer had not misinterpreted the rules for Australia. Neither I nor my attorney has been able to get them to rectify this situation yet.

If you are in Australia, and you have lived in multiple states, in your IV cover letter you might want to mention that you are including the FEDERAL Fingerprint report that you have received through applying via your state of residence. And then, mention that Australia requires you to request your FEDERAL report through your CURRENT state of residence.

If you are a residence of QLD or NSW, you should mention that your FEDERAL Fingerprint report, which MUST be obtained through your CURRENT state of residence, and ONLY through your current state of residence, will be sent directly to the Consulate.

Our file was perfect - and NVC screwed up. This is delaying us by at least six weeks, unfortunately, as we have missed the June interview cut-off, and, if they take the 30 business days to address the issue, as they keep telling me, we will miss the July cutoff for interviews too.

Okay sounds good, is it normal that my DS-261 became available before both AOS and IV were invoiced. Most people seem to complete it after the AOS and IV are sent?

Here's how I did it..

ds261 + both fees paid + DS-260+

Hey Sukie

So when I need to get a police report is it best that I get a Federal police report and a Federal fingerprint report?

I have lived in Victoria, NSW, Queensland and Western Australia - currently live in NSW, so I assume you go through the Federal police to obtain this, or do you go through my local (NSW) police?

Thanks

I called last night and received the same statement. I tracked our package and it showed that it was delivered on the 12th but they did not scan it in until the 15th. So in your case, you would count two weeks after the 14th because that was when it was entered into their system

Whats the two week count? my IV documetns were received according to them on May 6th -- spoke to them today and they say still not reviewed-- that is the LAST thing for me to accomplish -- they tell me "up to" 30 days- where are you quoting two weeks from- I know it probably will not be 30 days abd two weeks sounds great to me...

soooo tired of waiting ....

Embassy two times each day. We should get it the day it is issued or

the next day.

OK GUYS...I NEED HELP..LOTS OF HELP WITH MY AOS..PLEASE BE KIND AND ADVISE ME SO I CAN GET THROUGH THIS 9 PAGED FORM

So, I am the petioner, when I submitted I130 I was in student status, and all I had was 1098T , so since I didn't have any income last year, I didn't file tax...although I do have my tax receipts of prior years. Currently, I have a job and it's been 2 months since I've been employed. I am planning on having my dad as a joint petioner, and show his tax papers for the last 3 years and mine from last 2 years, copy of 1098T from school which shows that I didn't work but went to school and a letter from my current workplace stating my annual salary and proof of employment.

I'm filling out I864 and I'm stuck in many parts even though I'm using the instructions sheet, it seems to be very confusing to me. so please help me...I'd appreciate it a lot.

Part 1. Basis for filing affidavit of support

- Do I leave it blank? or am I suppose to write a name? if yes, who's petitioner's or beneficiary

Part 2. Mailing Address

- I believe it's beneficiary's mailing address, which I tried to type dashes as it appears in the actual address, but it the adobe does not allow me to type dashes or commas, and state, zip code, province etc. does not apply, and it doesn't let me type N/A either.

please suggest with these things for now...i'll have more questions as I'm filling out this form

thanks

Including transcripts for prior years and employment letter is very good. You do not need to submit your 1098T, just type $0 in the I-864 for that tax year and include a letter explaining you didn't file because you were a student and did not have any income.

Part 1 is about the sponsor. So it should include the sponsor's name and mark the applicable square (peititioner, joint sponsor, etc.)

You are correct that Part 2 is about the beneficiary. If you cannot type dashes, then just leave a space instead, or print the I-864 when you are done and hand write them. Same if you want to type N/A.

Good luck!

When do you leave again?

Not much good news going on around here tonight. I'm trying not to obsess anymore with this process so I have taken a step back from VJ. Plus, I'm a bit bitter lol.

Have a safe flight & may your reunion be a sweet, nostalgic, unforgettable, & absolutely loving one.

did they approve your IV packet at least?

They did, last Tuesday. Just waiting on my revised AOS. Calling isn't fun anymore... Not that it ever really was lol.

Hello FD&MDVL,

It's not an exact science, unfortunately. We are all going by the timelines of other members ahead of us. Two weeks seems to be the current wait time, give or take a day or two. If your docs were received on May 6th, then you should hear something by this week.

Good luck!

I have just heard from others to expect to wait two weeks + 2-3 days after receipt of packages.

I hope all goes well as planned. Just stay vigilant and be alert for any clumsy attempts to blindside you by the CO.
