NVC Filers - June 2014

[lucybelle 453]

awesome! so they approved your second certified marriage certificate then?

Looks like it. I sent in the exact same thing they already had (fourth copy I've sent in overall) and put a post-it note where it said "CERTIFIED COPY". I also wrote a cover letter asking them to call and confirm with the county if they had questions of the validity of the document.

I am a May 5th also and as of Friday they still hadn't completed my case.

Question: on the CEAC portal, did your AOS payment change from "Paid" to "N/A" when you got CC? It seems as though that is the rumor on here but I am not sure if that is only happening as a glitch in their system. If that is the case, then I don't have a CC yet because nothing changed on my portal.

Yes mine changed to N/A sometime last week but cant remember the exact date but somewhere around my CC date.... good luck.

I am so frustrated. I tried filling my taxes online and I could not, because it wanted certain numbers for my husband. So my mom talked to her tax lady about it and she said it was no problem. So I made an appointment with her and explained everything to her. She said yep that is no problem. So I sat down with her as she filled out my taxes, and I saw her mark married filling separately. Now that I need to send AOS package I am making copies of my 1040 and I see it says SINGLE!! THE ANGER I HAVE RIGHT NOW. Trying to calm down and hoping this doesnt make a problem for me. My mom is saying I might be ok, because we were married after June. I was hoping anyone could shed some light on this and if any of you filled single and if it caused any problems for you!

HELP PLZ!

You are fine, It happened to me. Completely IRS fault but unfortunately you have to file an ammendment. It will take about 8 weeks for them to complete the process the when it is done you just print out a copy of your record of account transcript online it will show the changes. Obviously u cannot wait for this so just attached a letter explaining the mistake to your transcript and let them know u already filed an ammendment. This is what I did and my aos just got approved last week. Just bring the ammended transcript on the interview. U can also submit a copy of your 1040 tax return and w2 with the aos and again just submit the ammended tax transcript at the interview in case they ask.

My AOS is N/A and I had CC today.

Wonder if it is correlated? Who knows... We're always scraping for some sort of hint!!

[LifeOnHold 186]

Kk... guess I'll call today after the gym. You guys have me convinced. I'll report back.

From a quick read, it looks easiest to use his wife ... but the bolded statement above has me believing you are confused on that point, as current income doesn't come off a transcript as it's what is anticipated for 2014.

Yeah. Thats what I ended u doing. I called NVC twice, second lady was kind and clarified it for me. I assumed its safe to just put what she made last year as current income. I attached 3 year tax transcripts as well as w2 transcripts of past 3 years. I also stated on form that it is a family business she is employed w/. fingers crossed.

Soloenta,

if you haven't dealt with the U.S embassy yet get ready for some nasty incompetent people. My I-129F was approved about 2 months ago and was sent to the embassy. Now since my I-130 is approved I have to go through NVC. Anyways wait til you deal with tip you get to the embassy. I have filed a complaint against with my congressman regarding one lady in particular. If you ever deal with "Saurelle" either hang up or record your conversation or save your chat.

Situation 1: When verifying my wife's information on their website (since we had no communication with the embassy whatsoever regarding next step in the process) she asked for her email address. When I provided the address she said that is wrong we cannot go any further, she wouldn't share any information (although all the important information like passport number, DOB, home address etc I answered correctly) I flipped out on her and told her I will be contacting her supervisor she relented and we continued. Out of curiosity I asked what email address does the application show? Her answer? Remember this is over the phone........ ATTENTIONINVALIDEMAILADDRESS is what she spelled out to me! Unbelievable right!!

Moving on: Situation 2 Different day

She incorrectly spelled 3 out of 5 names in my wife's full name and she put as date of birth Wednesday 22, 1984

When asked to correct the errors, she got better by only misspelling her last name.

Situation 3: Chat online again for case status about why we have had no communication about how to schedule a visa interview(* I provided my NVC case number and other pertinent information* prior to her response) she told me "In order to bring your wife over to the U.S. you must first file an application through USCIS".

AWESOME JUST AWESOME huh!! So when i told her yes i have done that already and have an approved I-129f at the embassy, she promptly closed the chat window!

I'm getting a headache just thinking about her..

I'm so sorry you had to go through this and believe me I do understand how you feel. My case was a little different than your, my husband is Egyptian and Muslim and I had, forced hahaaaa to go to the Embassy to get the certificate to marry that the Egyptian government requires to marry. In the process I met the dreaded little piece of S__T Egyptian old fart who is known to be rude and nasty and he didn't disappoint one bit. Said if I thought I had known my husband long enough to marry him, I said I think four years is good and he smirked and said I don't think so. I wanted to slap him out of his chair but the three inch plexiglass prevented it. He also told me to not correct anything so I didn't and it cost us almost a week to have the paper corrected and another dreaded visit to the Embassy.

Then I paid $50 bucks for this snotty young (looked 18) guy tell my now husband to go wait in the waiting room in a nasty way. Then he proceeded to tell me he had to give me the following information.............. In a nut shell, men in Egypt marry just to get a visa so it's most likely that is what your fiance is up to. I said listen my husband is a communications engineer and had certificates in various computer programs etc he isn't a shoe shine boy nor does he work at resorts entertaining guests. His response, we shall see about that hahahaaa really you little loser I wanted to kick his ### but again the darn plexiglass didn't allow me to do so. Then he has the nerve to ask me if I still wanted the certificate, I said yes and the little MF shook his head in disgust. OMG BELIEVE ME I KNOW EXACTLY HOW THEY ARE. Sorry got upset there just thinking of it.

I really wish I could prevent my husband going through this nightmare. Thank you I do appreciate your heads up.
