NVC Filers - June 2014

[alejandreska 136]

Hi called last night the representative that i talked to told me that our papers are not yet reviewed at that moment but will be in a couple of days, they scanned our aos may 13th then today my husband got an email from NVC and he said he doesnt know what that email means so im guessing its a false checklist heres the screenshot pls let me know if its really a false or real checklist

Yes it's a false checklist I received one exactly like that one and it meant that my AOS package was approved

That's what I am saying...there is obviously no option in the drop down box to choose a state in Mexico so I am wondering what to do.

On the I-864, in the spaces for information about the sponsor and beneficiary, there is a space to put a zip code and there is also a space for a postal code. What would be the difference?

Zip code and state are for the US, I wrote N/A on those. I wrote on postal code and province

Thank you Soloenta for your kind words.

I must admit, I do skirt over the questions I don't know the answers to, but I remember what I was like at the start of this process and many of those who were at the stage we are at now were answering my questions but have now moved into the interview forums. This forum has hit a quiet patch and would hate for someone to be stuck, delayed or checklisted. We are all in this together!

Your very welcome and I understand because I only answer what I can, so wasn't talking about this. I know very little so can't answer much.

Ooh these are fun. Maybe we can use them to whip the NVC into shape...

Sorry you have me addicted now...

Waiting on Case complete:

This maybe be a dumb question too but are we supposed to use zip code or postal code? (why does this seem so difficult? haha)

Because you don't want to make a mistake and USCIS messed with our heads. The answer is we use Zip Code in the USA and other countries use Postal Code. Don't think it much matters but If it's for a US address I would use Zip Code and N/A on the Postal code etc. Hope that helped.

part 2 about the principal immigrant where they ask for mailing address. husband is putting down his address since its a US address and he thinks it will be easier to mail but i m not sure :/

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he's wrong your right. Put your address in Pakistan!

Thank you! I will probably just hand write it in.

On a lot of them you have to write it in, you have no choice.

I appreciate anyone answering this--I've plowed through the thread and did a search but didn't find anything related. My question is below in bold.

Our Case # was assigned June 10. No DS-261 available yet in the online portal as of June 19. And no email at all from NVC yet, either. I do understand it seems like their timing is slowing down Finally, on the phone, they only asked me for MY email address, not for beneficiary's

would it be beneficial or advised in any way for me to EMAIL them the information for DS-261 (choice of agent) versus waiting for the portal to open up? or, do you think that would cause more problems?

Thank you!

ok guys one last question.

part 6 information of sponsor and employment. in qs 13 they ask us to check the box if we filed all three previous tax returns. but we just filed 2013 so do we check that box or not? in 13a, 13B and 13c they are asking for incomes of different years so i assume that we check the box and put 0 dollar in 2011 and 2012?

I emailed them all the information in the DS-261 the day I received my case #. My DS-261 was available a few days later. They replied to the email last week and the following day the IV fee was available. It certainly didn't hurt or hinder mine, and might even have shaved a few days off the process for me.

When you next call them, make sure they have both your email addresses and petitioners correct phone numbers. It will take them some time to respond to the email and you don't want to miss the AOS invoice in the meantime.

Do you recommend then that I NOT email them the information until I call them to supply them with the beneficiary's email address? They only collected mine, and no phone number :/

Love this pic of your family!

Good tip, although my daughter is a little too old for Ronald. My acclimating plan for her is Twilight's Robert Pattinson (She is team Edward).

WE FINALLY MADE IT TO AMERICA !!!

Many more interview and POE details and photos to follow in the coming days.

Roughing it in LA for a few days.

It took them 3 weeks to respond to the email, so I sent the email, then called them, then completed the DS-261 online. I accidentally resubmitted my DS-261 and they were showing received date as May 22nd, however they replied directly to the email and the following day invoiced my IV fee.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

And thankyou for sharing. This has helped switch the light at the end of the tunnel back on, seeing and reading the end goal (and reminding myself there is a reason we put ourselves through this)
