NVC Filers - June 2014

[dawning 212]

I don't think there is any issue with translating the documents yourself And I don't think it would matter if the three docs have different formats. I really don't think that the embassy will look at the translations, but it is good idea to provide them just in case (specially for NVC).

In case that the translations are stapled to the doc, I'd recommend putting a sticky note on them, saying that the original doc is attached after the translation - These NVC agents could believe that you only submitted the translation and checklist you for not sending originals (ugh)!

Good luck!! I'm glad that your husband could get the apostille on time

Yes I think you are right... yes, my husband was able to get the apostille, and the apostille and certificado de antecedentes penales is on their way to me by Correozoom, so that I can send in the IV package. I am trying to get a jump on the translating, so that when the docs arrive next week I can put the package together and send it off right away.

It was quite dramatic with the apostille, he went a week ago Monday to do the first step, but he overslept and missed the bus and had to go in a ranchera-- but then on the way he saw that horrible bus accident that happened on the way to Caracas, so he was grateful he hadn't been on the bus after all-- one of those things that seems like bad luck at first but then later it turns out it's good luck. And then he went back on Thursday to finish it up, so everything worked out... and I only paid the IV invoice this last Monday or Tuesday, so it's not delaying us by much... Thank you again for all your advice on the process; it was very helpful.

I must say I am quite impressed that you refrained from profanity in your blog LOL I am unable to do the same. But, that's because I have a potty mouth (and a temper)

So when will your husband come and join you?

Any of your coworkers dared ask this question since that ... ummm ... supernova?

LOL!!!!! Actually no, not a single person (even upper management) has asked me since my little outburst. It makes me giggle now lol

A co-worker read my blog and BOS_LHR's blog and wanted to know more details of this nightmare. It took me an hour to explain!

just got a checklist email:

______1 - IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION PART 1:_______________________

The NVC has received the information you submitted and placed it in your case file. You will be

contacted when your petition is sent to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate for further processing.

That's assuming your co-workers still talk to you after your outburst, eh? Hahaha.

After 19 years (and 4 kids), it still seems like just yesterday for us.

We are 17 years, two children ages 15 and 13, two dogs, six chickens (they won't be coming with us!!) and one rabbit that dug under the cage and went AWOL. That was just in time as I didn't have to find a home for him. Daughter was heartbroken while the brother made every comment that he could think of about cooking Rabbit Pie. All this I had to deal with while hubby was in the US regaling us of Yankee games. Oh, the life of a single mother.

I wouldn't change the last seventeen years for anything. Well I might change the last one just to all be together.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Xx

Those six chickens could come with you in a way... just ask your boy.

Single Mom, Visa Journey and Teenagers... Oh My!

bos-lhr and bdrew

I loved your blogs. Better than the book I am reading at the moment. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. So SAD they brought tears to my eyes especially as I can really identify with it.

Won't be too much longer now - I hope.

Help us out on this guys please? i am the beneficiary. My husband filed this petition for me. We're having a joint sponsor who's my mother-in-law. She has her husband so her household size becomes 3 right? (me, her, father-in-law) however, does she still needs to put in the name of my father in law in part 6a of the form?(person 1). If that so, does my father in law also need to submit a completed i-864 form? Then he will become the 2nd joint sponsor? Is that it or my in-laws become my joint sponsor? (Combining their annual incomes to be as one?) We're really confused wooooo????

Since there's been talk of blogs today, I'll add mine to the list. For most of the process I've kept a private journal, but my husband finally immigrates five days from now, and I decided to write up a detailed account of our entire visa process to share with family and friends. I've spent the whole week writing and editing it, so it's pretty long, but you lovely people on VisaJourney have cameos!

Thank you for sharing! I will read it this afternoon with my coffee, looking forward to it!

Does anyone heard about Checklist for FEE PAYMENT?

I received this checklist via email when at work. So confused, I logged in CEAC right away and saw status of IV FEE is NOT PAY, button PAY NOW appear as clickable. When I clicked it, it forwarded to the payment page......seem like I did not pay it before. After work, I logged in again to see what happen, the status changed back to PAID. Dont know what going on?

______FEE PAYMENT:_________________________________________________

You still need to pay the Immigrant Visa Fee. You can pay the fee online at ceac.state.gov/iv. You will need the following information to pay the fee online:

 NVC Case Number: XXXXXXXXX.

 Invoice I.D.: XXXXXXXX

If you are unable to pay online, you must submit your fee using the alternative payment option by submitting a cashier's check or money order. For alternative payment instructions, please visit our website immigrantvisas.state.gov.
