Timeline

...and we're right in the middle of the pack in the "game." We didn't have the really horrendous timelines from the early part of the year, so we don't have the right to righteous indignation, but we didn't get the "overseas expedites" (which still makes me kind of laugh because Canada is considered "overseas") or the really fast processing times, either! I feel like I've waited a long time but I don't feel like I have much right to gripe about it! :clock::cry:

Of course, I totally feel like I have every right to complain about the fact that NVC's computers (not even a human or a lost document, just a stupid software update) have cost me 2 weeks when I should be submitting my IV fee, package and DS260 by now! :ranting::protest::ranting:

I was reading information about overseas expedite on this forum back in December. :reading: I contacted Nancy Peloci (since we lived in San Francisco) and her office contacted USCIS trying to expedite our application because we were applying from overseas. USCIS denied our request since they were backlogged and were only expediting for medical reasons at that time. I thought Nancy Peloci was the most powerful woman in America? I should have contacted Michelle Obama instead. LOL! :rofl:

DS-261 form! :no: It sucks that it cost you two weeks! :wacko: I'm not even checking https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ until I receive an email from NVC asking me to pay the IV fee. I'm afraid of accidentally clicking the DS-261 link and re-submitting the form! :oops:

I cant take it...I just got email checklist. I feel like a knife has been plunged into my heart. No chance now to get my wife here in August. :( Lawyers are worthless!

It says its for Item 13.a.1 Total gross income reported...I DID put total gross income!!! Damnit! I am so depressed!

Sorry to hear you got checklisted.

But if you filed 1040ez then it should have been Adjusted Gross income and not total gross income per form i864, no?

In other news, and totally off topic, I have the first music recital of the season today (I'm a voice teacher). I can't wait to hear the adorable 7 year old sing "Happy". I will miss my little munchkins when I've moved to the US. (I know there are cute kids there for me to teach, too, though)

:luv:(F)

I have been following your timeline and I know you ended up resubmitting DS261 just like me. Any luck with IV yet?

I know it is extremely difficult to go through this process specially when you waited so long at USCIS already. If you filed 1040 then you should have reported your total income on i864. See if it was NVC error and not your lawyer's error?

I cant take it...I just got email checklist. I feel like a knife has been plunged into my heart. No chance now to get my wife here in August. :( Lawyers are worthless!

It says its for Item 13.a.1 Total gross income reported...I DID put total gross income!!! Damnit! I am so depressed!

line 22 from the 1040.. that is what it should be. Do you have a copy of the AOS on your computer? My lawyer insisted on using the wrong number and we even argued over it. He told me as long as the number is more than the poverty number then they won't ding me for it.. WELL... I didn't trust a word e said so I corrected it and sent it 2 days later. I eventually got check listed for that exact issue and I was happy as he!! that I sent the correction instead of waiting. I told my lawyer to back off during the NVC stage. Lawyers are useless. The only thing having a lawyer helped me with was being able to pay both fees 4 days after I got my case number... After that.... he was USELESSSSSSSSSSS and I still can't get him on the phone since I went down to talk about the waiver 3 weeks ago.

I m so sorry to hear that!! It's the same mistake over and over again that the lawyers are doing. Either it's the income problem or not putting N/A in that stupid address qs. I hope ur checklist gets reviewed real soon!

this waiting is just sickening.... @DVMAN double check that you put the correct dollar amount in the blank and then call the NVC and ask them to look at it again. Look at your 1040's Line 22... I feel sick to my stomach for the check list you received....I am pulling for you !!!!

Sorry you got the checklist. I realized lawyers are not use and I fired mine after I-130. I didn't quite understand your checklist. You reported gross income incorrectly? Did you send them W2? If they have it, can't they see it there? This is scary stuff!

People were having such short "auto-expedite" times when I applied that I actually DELAYED applying because I didn't want to be approved too fast. :rofl:

Fifteen months later...

If only I had known!!!

Delayed applying!!?? :wow:

Well, you're not the only one because I hear people delaying to apply for work contracts, schools, etc.

My friend sent his immigration application in April from Canada. He is hoping to move to the US next summer. Well, he got auto expedited for applying from overseas and got his NOA2 this month! He is now panicking because he thinks it's moving too fast! LOL! :oops: I told him that he didn't have to move to the US right away since he'll have 6 months to move upon getting a Green Card. Sometimes getting processed faster than you expect can be a "problem". Well, it's a nice and envious "problem" to have. :rofl:

Sorry you got the checklist. I realized lawyers are not use and I fired mine after I-130. I didn't quite understand your checklist. You reported gross income incorrectly? Did you send them W2? If they have it, can't they see it there? This is scary stuff!

I think he meant was he put down Gross income instead of total income. If it's 1040, then it should be total income, only 1040-ez will be gross income..

Because actually 1040-EZ's gross income is same as 1040 or 1040A total income... 1040-EZ is only when you have W-2 or any other compensation such as unemployment or interest income, otherwise 1040A or 1040 applies..

I feel bad for all of us who waited so long and got a checklist for a stupid thing... I'm waiting for my checklist for not putting N/A =( and idk when that will be :cry::cry::clock::clock::clock:
