Hi all, we got our case no, AOS and IV invoice on 15th june, our attorney paid the bills on 20th, filled and submited 260 on 22nd but insisted on not sendind our packages until she received dierctives from NVC to do so which she did get today, she will mail them out dis week. My question is does NVC review both AOS and IV simultaneosly or each takes the normal 30 days?

Simultaneously, as far as I know.

No cc for scanned dates 4, 5 & 6.

I cannot see people who have scanned dates on these dates.....

Anyone here ?????

My scan date is June 6. No CC yet :(

IR1/CR1 Visa - We are using a lawyer!

Embassy: Montreal, Canada

USCIS

22 Jan 2013 -- packageSent
31 Jan 2013 -- NOA1 from NBC

6 Mar 2013 -- I130 transferred to Orlando local field office (which started the whole nightmare)

Mar 2013 to October 2013 no one would tell us where our case was or what was happening. I suspected the whole time it was just sitting in a corner somewhere in the Orlando field office. I was pretty much right.

October 2013 - get congressman involved. Congressman asks USCIS repeatedly about our case but they won't even tell them anything.

31 Jan 2014- finally get NOA2!!!! (we think the nightmare is over!)

NVC

Our case was not sent from the Orlando field office as it should have been. The nightmare continues. We kept calling NVC and asking if they received our case, and they always said "NO" and that we had to wait 90 business days for it to be received. We called USCIS during this time and they kept telling us it had been sent. After the 90 days of agonizing frustration, NVC then started telling us we had to wait 120 business days. I got our congressman involved again, and they told the congressman it was sitting at the Orlando office this whole time (just as I thought it was!).

22 Apr 2014 -- NVC received
16 May 2014 -- NVC case number assigned
24 May 2014 -- AoS and IV bills paid

28 May 2014 -- Sent AoS and IV Packages

6 June 2014 -- documents scanned

18 July 2014 -- false checklist from NVC

21 July 2014 -- Case complete

28 July 2014 -- receive case complete email from NV

30 July 2014 -- interview booked! September 11 here I come!

Embassy
04 Sept 2014 -- Medical
11 Sept 2014 -- Interview - APPROVED!!!!
15 Sept 2014 -- Package arrived at Loomis location!!!
**03 Oct 2014 -- POE!! **

Correct! I've also read that the "translator" cannot be the petitioner or beneficiary. But I can't say that I've ever heard of that being a legitimate problem for someone. Also, it's not like anybody is going to call up the "translator" and verify their translation qualifications... if you catch my drift.... :ph34r:

I hate to be like this, but it's actually been 29 biz days since June 3rd. That being said, it's still a really long #%*@&$*%( time to wait for a stupid fee! The good news is, tomorrow you can call them and really get on them for not following their 30 biz days rule, and they can't just tell you to wait 30 biz days. ;) They have to come up with something else to say!!! I know how it feels, it really sucks, but call them and see what's up tomorrow.

This is interesting-- when I was preparing my husband's IV packet a few weeks ago I heard a similar rumor floating around (that the translations can't be done by the beneficiary or the petitioner) but no one on this forum responded when I asked for verification, and I couldn't find that any official source said anything about it... so I sent in my own (petitioner) translations-- we will see if anything comes up. Although it was more a case of being on the safe side, officially I did not need translations, as the documents were in the official language of the country where the interview will take place... and I sent a translation of the birth certificate but not the apostille attached to it-- I hope that doesn't annoy anyone. But I was tired of being fearful about every little thing that MIGHT cause a checklist, so I decided to be optimistic that whoever reviews the documents will do their job as they should... If I get any negative feedback on either of those things I will definitely let folks here know... good luck to everyone trying to figure these requirements out.

I would just say something along the lines of, "We have waited the maximum allotted time of 30 business days for the DS-261 to be reviewed in order for us to be able to pay the IV invoice. I would like to speak to a supervisor or request a supervisor review of our case to resolve this matter."
