No Form IV Fees two months after DS261 Form

[islandbabes 12]

So 2 months and 1 week after filling out the change of agent form, we are still dead in the water. We paid AOS fees and submitted documents. We got a checklist for 2013 tax info even though the filing date for 2013 was not yet closed. We also received a checklist for the change of agent form which I had already submitted on March 10th.

We sent in 2013 tax filing documents and resubmitted the DS261. Called the NVC and agent said everything looks to be in order and I didn't have to appoint an agent as I was in the USA at the same address of the petitioner. Really? Got another checklist for form DS261 that is not filled out properly. Called back the NVC who said that I cannot adjust status in the USA. WTH? Seems like because my correspondence address is in the USA they flagged it as form incomplete. This is despite their agents saying it is ok.

So now it is two months later and even after appointing the petitioner as the agent, there are still checklists being generated that the form is not complete. Hubby called up today, demanded to speak to a supervisor who kept repeating the form is incomplete. Well let's just say he was pissed but diplomatic. Seems nothing was EVER wrong with the form. So she assured him that the form IV fee will become available within the week.

Seriously, how much can they muck up our lives. We have wasted 2 months waiting on the simplest form in the process. Super frustrated. I was hoping to get an interview date before I return to Jamaica but it is not looking likely now. We are now entering the 13th month since filing these papers and like others I just want it done.

I would like to know on average how long is is taking between the FORM IV submission of documents and an interview date?

For Jamaica about 1 to 2 months. All depends on when you case complete and if you are in the queue when they start scheduling otherwise you have to wait for the next month go round.

Sorry for all your delays my goodness.

How many days after you filled DS-261 then got a checklist for it? NVC emailed to you for that checklist or you see something in Form Portal?

I got an email about it 2 weeks after submitting and called the NVC and was told it was ok to ignore email as the form was OK. Then got a checklist in the mail 2 weeks later for 2013 tax records and the same DS 261 form. I again resubmitted the form, got the confirmation and called the NVC. Again told it seemed ok but was in review. Called back 2 weeks later when no FORM IV fee was available and another email came about the DS 261 form. This time was told the form was incorrect. I HAD to appoint an agent even though I was in the USA at the same location as the agent (petitioner). I did so and resubmitted. Now 3 weeks later, when hubby called they are telling him the form is still a problem so he asked for a supervisor who FINALLY realized that there was never an error to begin with. So now I wait to see if the FORM IV fee becomes available.
