NVC Filers - May 2014

[lorenalen 29]

Congrats on all the complete cases!

We got a checklist yesterday.

In Part 6. Sponsor's Income and Employment, please correct the following...

[x] Items 13.a.1. The income you enter must match the total (gross) income reported on your most recent Federal income tax return. If you filed Form 1040EZ, use the adjusted gross income instead.

We fixed it and mailed it overnight already. NVC is supposed to be getting it this morning.

Can they find something else and send me another checklist later?

Does NVC check the proof of domicile or does the embassy worry about that later?

If not mistaken anything they found would have been on that checklist so if that was the only thing on your checklist, your go to go. Much luck to you and yours Viva Argentina!

So I called today...had waited a week. Todd answered the phone. He confirmed that my files were received on the 15th. I asked like 3 times if they had been scanned in or the package even opened..he would never answer that directly, only that they are reviewed in the order that they are received. His whole response was very generic unfortunately. So I will wait until next Wednesday or Thursday and call again. Maybe that person can give me more specifics.

We don't know that for sure... Although I have the same worry, since after the ceac page changed, our ds261 went from "completed" to "not completed" so I hit submit again, and now it says completed again, but as of a date 12 days after I originally submitted. If I've lost those 2 weeks due to a computer glitch, I'll be really frustrated. But hopefully it won't be so bad!

If the new format of the website allows everyone to potentially 'mess up'/ delay their invoicing of the IV fee, simply through people being curious enough to click on things on the CEAC site... that would be atrocious! Bait perhaps??!!

So it's good news to hear of some people reporting that NVC reps told them not to worry.

Called this morning and was told.......

CASE COMPLETE!!!!!

(as of 5/21/2014)

SO HAPPY!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

see you on the interview thread

Hi guys,

I am a Canadian permanent resident living and working in Canada. My company transferred me to another office in the US 2 weeks ago and now that I am in the US, I called the NVC and received my case number yesterday. Honestly I would like to continue the whole process with the NVC/Montreal consulate, but I am not sure if I can do that anymore since I am already working in the US on a L-1B visa.

I would just like to tap your knowledge and I would appreciate any information anyone can provide.

Thanks a bunch.

I would think that having the files listed as 'received' indicates they've been 'scanned in'. They have to open the package to receive/ scan the bar-coded sheet.

Now it's just waiting for the review process...

oh and ps, you haven't updated your signature about your fees and packages yet

Hopefully someone here can help, but you might find more relevant information in a section that deals with work visas?? This is the spousal visa section primarily...

Have you tried checking/posting somewhere like:

Hi Lakehouse,

Yea I know this is the spousal visa section,, hence my posting here.

I guess I wasn’t really clear on my question. So I have my approved I-130 been processed at the NVC at the moment, but since I am already working in the US on a L-1B visa, my gut tells me I would have to switch to Adjustment of Status in the US to complete the greencard processing rather than finish the process with the NVC/Montreal consulate which I would prefer.

so my question was, am I still able to continue NVC/Montreal Consulate processing for my spousal immigrant visa, or would I have to contact the NVC to transfer my case to the US for adjustment of status?

So, I know there is a request for them to retrieve my mail from the 8th and for a supervisor review ( put in the system 2 days ago) I am afraid to call and get the AX. It seems they are working on Monday May 5th. To call..... or not to call....... friggin stress is killing me...

With the DHL tracking, just found out my case was shipped to the consulate yesterday. Consulate should receive 05/27, since Monday is a holiday. Once consulate receives, they will notify NVC of date of interview.

Cases usually ship out 1 or 2 days preceding completion.

Unless Cameroon does things differently, cases are only shipped out AFTER an interview date is assigned. Did NVC tell you they shipped your case out or are you just assuming that because something is going to Cameroon it's yours?
