NVC Filers - June 2014

[Giona 44]

Tks Giona, but my hubby just called to nvc today n was informed that our packages are waiting for review. So strange!!!!!!

Think you have to call a lot of may 16-19th are getting case complete already. You're being left behind. Call call call and dont wait for their emails as NVC are backlogged and no time in fixing and updating emails. Hope you get you case complete soon.

Dang thats super strange your suppose to get an answer from them last week they're working on 16-19 now so i dont have any idea why they skipped you or maybe there are others aswell thats in the same boat as you are, dont lose hope youll get there pretty soon.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl!

I think you should be proactive with NVC and notify everyone and their dog of the birth of your baby girl, who by the way is a US citizen born abroad. The process for getting her US birth certificate from the US consulate is different and it may take few weeks. Call the US consulate and ask for the procedure and details on consular report of birth abroad. Check the info below if you haven't done so. Congratulations again!

Hey, thanks for the warm wishes and wonderful advice . My daughter was born in the US as my wife is currently in the US! Thats why hoping for an early CC, waiting to meet my daughter

Sent my AOS checklist on the 28th of May, hopefully its approved soon (fingers crossed)

Hello guys..Interview scheduled for July 18th...

Huge congratulations!

I cannot believe you don't have this IV invoice yet. We got ours exactly 1 calendar month from doing DS-261. I am watching you closely.

Yeah, it really bites. I could never get anyone to track down my original confirmation, (most of them wouldn't even let me read the confirmation number to them) so I'm presuming that I'll get it sometime near a month after the resubmit date of May 21. I'm so angry about it, but trying to get anyone at NVC to do anything about it was just making me angrier, so I decided to just tough it out.

Thanks for the good vibes. Believe me, there will be dancing sunglasses men when they finally let me pay that $&@%# fee!

[jsumner86 403]

Well, it's because many of us have been waiting for the IV fee invoice and not much to report rather than "Yep, I'm still waiting. Grrrrr!!!"

Plus, many active people on this thread got a CC last month or early this month.

Well, it's getting easier for me to keep up with this thread because there are fewer postings to read!

That's true. I've noticed not many have asked questions either! Maybe it's because you all can't do anything because they're taking forever to invoice!

CASE COMPLETE!! as of yesterday... .. AOS checklist was scanned on may 16

That's great news!! Congratulations!!!!

Just got off the phone with NVC.

The representative told me my AOS scanned date of 05/19 has "almost finished processing" and that "its at the tail of it" and

concluded by saying "You will hear something fairly soon"

So I am keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully by Friday I should hear back from them. Just one more step in getting case complete.

Call back today! *Fingers crossed* for no checklist .

The only part where which tax form was filed is important is on the question about the three previous years' tax income.

You should be an immigration lawyer Saylin, it's sad to hear all about these lawyers that make mistakes on all the paperwork lately!

supervisor review going on it's 4th week... yay

Call back and ask to speak to a supervisor to see where it is?

Great news!! We got a case complete. May 19th for us. We are so excited!!

Congratulations!!!

Hello guys..Interview scheduled for July 18th...

Slow start on the NVC front today... Didn't turn the phones on until 7.04. Fortunately I now know the hold music so well these days that I was able to mange to concentrate on tv while on hold rather than staring st the iPad willing someone to answer!

Carla (is she new?) told me to wait 30 business days then call back....umm... Yeah, thanks, I'll speak to you tomorrow. Cheers.

30 business days is their standard answer. It's actually currently taking 30 calendar days for packages to be reviewed.

We got a false checklist for IV documents, does that mean our AOS is accepted?

I AM SO HAPPY TO JOIN YOU GUYS..

_{Question on terminology:}

_{My civil docs were delivered on June 10th. I just called NVC and the rep told me "your civil documents were matched to your case on the 13th and it takes 30 days bla bla bla."}

_{Does that mean I have a "scan" date on June 13th?}

That's correct, for my records I keep note of date sent, date delivered (by Fedex/USPS etc) then the date they receive/match/scan it is when the 30 days start. It's approx 1 week between delivery and "scan" for each of my docs. Seems to be about 3-4 weeks for review.

Cool! ColGil

Not so cool NVC!

[BOS_LHR 829]

Good morning (or afternoon, or evening) everyone! Seems like NVC has had a sluggish start this week on top of their generally sluggish performance, hopefully they'll pick it up for the last half and get the good news rolling. Just thought I'd send some good vibes out into the ether since I've been a lurker the last few days

Aww, thanks! I would love to! Don't think it'd be that easy here in Fargo, North Dakota though

My In-laws' cases are complete as of yesterday. We received a checklist for i-864A for not writing "N/A" for address (on 06/12). When I had questioned NVC about the checklist, I was told that Mumbai consulate doesn't want any fields to be left blank. I re-sent the forms with "N/A" (received by nvc on 16th, still have not been scanned), and emailed the consulate stating that this is absolutely absurd, waste of resources, abuse of power and fraud. NVC is already backlogged and people are getting ridiculous checklist similar to mine. Also, if this is a requirement, it should be made public knowledge. Mumbai Consulate called NVC and got checklist removed.

FYI: AOS fee is "N/A"

[kokokoko 12]

question on i-864 ??

my wife is the sponsor and she lives in her parents house till i get to usa (she lives with father mother and brother) but when i get to usa me and my wife will go to our own house in other word she lives Temporary in this house
