NVC Filers - June 2014

[jayjose 2]

Funny story, I was just asked for the 8 millionth time when my husband was coming home. I yelled "I DON'T KNOW!" Everyone in the office turned and gave me a look.

Maybe now people will stop asking.

I feel you, been hearing that question a couple of times a day for 6 months now. Before, I used to explain everything to them, now, I just tell them that I don't know yet. Some of the people gave up asking the same questions daily, but there are still some that they have replace the greeting "hi" or "hello" with that question.

I see the use of non-VJ emoticons has significantly gone up today

I was just thinking that. You'd never see me using non-VJ emoticons (before yesterday ROFL)

They loved the Merry Go Round at The Santa Monica Pier...!!!!

OMG I love every picture you have shown us so far and so happy they loved the Merry Go round, you going to Disneyland?

[Soloenta 2,218]

Oh ok then we would have to fill out the form again since we checked that box and also put '0' in part 3 where they ask if u r married then put 1. So I will ask my husband to put n/a there. Thanks soloenta

Your very welcome happy I could help a little after being helped myself so much. . If anyone sees anything wrong with my post please say so. you just never know

I hope you're right.. I think my wife is now on edge.. This week hasn't gotten any better for her. (If you read the e-mails she sent you).

I'm so sorry to hear that ArthurandMarcela! Hope it's all sorted soon!

You need to fix 13.a.1 - Needs to match the total income, not the adjusted income. It's what you can find on line 22 of your 1040.

You mean my wife .

Hahahaaa YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I mean your wife and yes I read everything she sends me, I love her to death what a magnificent human being she is. She is perfection in every way.

I agree I bet that will help but I'm just stupid and had no clue what the H double hockey sticks I was doing. I learned a little from your angles help but great idea didn't even think about printing it out. But panic does blind you completely and it's why I wish questions would be answered to help those that feel the world is crashing down on them. God will repay us all for this kindness.

I called again today, our AOS has been approved and i should bring the missing document on my interview, what exactly will be mentioned in the interview mail. NVC doesn't need anything else for AOS... Huh... DS 260 has been reviewed and accepted, BUT IV package has not been reviewed yet, to wait for the info in the next two weeks or longer... It's been 4 weeks till now... I hope they will review the package sooner... hope... hope...

I had it luck till now all the NVC representatives was super cool and nice

El ds260 tambien pueden dar checklist i dont understand it

Got off the phone with NVC . IV package was accepted.. WOOHOOO!!

The checklist was still not removed completely off the system yet for our AOS, but my wife spoke to the supervisor again, and she kept telling her,

"Don't worry, it's going to be removed, I sent it back to get removed" -Don't know how that process works?!

So once the checklist is removed, I can actually say case complete and interview for August?!?! Don't want to get too excited.. But, it's looking good .

Congratulations i would like 2 know in how many days did they complete you or how may days did they checklist u

The voice when you're on hold with the NVC.. that goes:

"All our representatives are still busy assisting other callers...Please remain on the line as the next representative will be with you shortly, your patience is greatly appreciated"

Do you think it's a man or a woman? I think it's a woman, but my wife says it's a man.

It's a woman. It's the same voice that answers your initial call (before you press your language preference...oh....wait...you don't even listen to her anymore, do you? You just press "1" or "2" as soon as she answers the phone!!!!)....

congrats to everyone who got their case completes this week..

I am getting excited!! I hope we get ours early next week

[Soloenta 2,218]

what do u do if ur address doesnt fit in the box i m asking such silly questions today the admin is gonna ban me lol!

Happened to me also so I added it to the Cover Letter list as Address Explanation with section as in Part two number etc and then the letter explaining there wasn't room for the whole address.

[chiqui21 6]

Hi I'm new in the forum How long have you been waiting to be completed?

congrats to everyone who got their case completes this week..

I am getting excited!! I hope we get ours early next week

[Soloenta 2,218]

I couldn't agree more! Slow down, read and re-read the instructions. I think people are making this harder than it needs to be.

The ONLY thing that contradicts the instructions is the whole 'blank vs N/A' thing, but that's been explained to death on here. Take an extra day to to review the AOS before sending it out. Lots of people are getting preventable check lists (unless you have a lawyer, in which case raise some holy hell!). Breeeeeathe :-D

I disagree I'm just plain STUPID!

[Soloenta 2,218]

She never posts on here. She usually only used it to talk to Soloenta or Bdrew by PM .

Plus, sometimes you CAN'T control what the NVC will checklist for! They like to make their own rules up along the way .

It's because I'm spacial :rofl: :rofl: yes I meant to type that. hahahahaaaa OMG didn't sleep last night I think I'm MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! ........

Rock bottom. I called and spoke to Arthur (who is a JERK by the way) who said we had received a checklist for our AOS package. He kept telling me that my sponsor hadn't included his 2013 income. I agreed that he hadn't, but that was because he had an extension approved on is filing and that the letter from the IRS confirming approval of his extension had been included. All information provided was for 2012. Long story short, I eventually spoke to supervisor Kylie who confirmed that a formal review would be done and to call back tomorrow. I asked whether my package could be reviewed without the need for a joint sponsor given I had satisfied the assets requirement, but she said that I would have to submit a withdrawal of sponsor request to do that.

So I think I'm stuck either way - submit another copy of the IRS letter or submit a withdrawal of sponsor letter. Either way it will add another 30 days. I just don't know whether I should get my aunt in the US to post one of these things today so it's there tomorrow, or if I should wait and speak to the supervisor tomorrow knowing that that will out another weekend between us and a case complete (in addition to the extra 30 days).

Any advice? I genuinely don't know whether the letter from the IRS was included - I sent all information to my aunt and uncle and asked them to add theirs to the package before sending it to NVC.

Separately - got the full Arthur experience when he started the conversation by tearing me to shreds for using Skype and my voice not being loud enough. He must be deaf because no other agent has had any trouble hearing me before. It went downhill from there...

Please think of complaining about those at NVC that are rude we really don't need the stress and if we don't complain nothing will ever be done. The following link was origianally posted by LoveMyTico.

For nasty NVC customer service Reps e-mail complaint

Anyone know how I can have it permanently placed on my posts automatically? Ty .
