Hi everybody, I had been keeping away because my case was not at the NVC for nearly 4 months after approval (got approved March 6, case received by NVC July 1). I called yesterday and case number was assigned on July 14. I had called on the morning of July 14 too but the case was not in the system when I called, maybe they scanned my case in after my call.

 

 

I'm the beneficiary, wife of USC.
12/30/2012: Got engaged.
1/16/2013: Got married in India.

I-130:
2/28/2013: Attorney mailed the I-130 from a U.S. address.
3/4/2013: Priority date, NOA1.
11/6/2013: Case was transferred to Nebraska Service Center.

1/6/2014: 60 days of transfer are up, put in an e-request, given 30 days' time. Contacted the senator. Senator asked to wait till Feb 6 and if nothing then she will do something.
2/5/2014: Website status changed to RFE.
2/10/2014: Attorney gets RFE. They need G325A and photos of both me and husband, original marriage certificate, copy of marriage record and it's translation.
2/15/2014: Mailed the requisite documents to husband.
2/19/2014: Documents received by husband.
2/24/2014: RFE mailed.
2/26/2014: Case status changed to RFE review.
3/6/2014: After 367 days, NOA2.

After approval kept calling NVC but NVC always had one reply, file was not in their system. Husband too called USCIS National Customer Service Center and was told case was sent to NVC.
4/2/2014: Write to NSCFollowup to know about the status of the petition.
4/10/2014: Put in a ?service request with USCIS starting with OVP to locate case.
4/16/2014: Reply from NSCFollowup that the U.S. law prohibited that office from responding to anyone other than the petitioner and to have the petitioner contact them.
4/18/2014: Sent email to NVC Research to locate the case.
4/22/2014: Petitioner sent email to NSCFollowup
5/14/2014: Receive email from NVC Research that they do not have a record of receiving the petition.
5/16/2014: Congressman's immigration caseworker contacted supervisor at NSC who said the petition is pending and will be dispatched in two weeks.
5/27/2014: Petitioner received response from NSCFollowup that the case was pending an internal extended review. Really?
6/19/2014: USCIS case status change, "On June 19, 2014, we shipped this case..."
7/1/2014: Case received at NVC.
7/14/2014: NVC case number assigned.
8/1/2014: AOS and IV fees invoiced.
8/2/2014: AOS and IV fees paid.

8/6/2014: AOS and IV packages mailed, completed and submitted DS-260.
8/7/2014: AOS and IV packages delivered to NVC.

My husband called NVC this morning. They wouldn't put him through to a supervisor but said they added a note to our file for a supervisor to look into our DS-261 by the end of the week. 34 business days now :P

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

Two questions:

Would the fact that I received financial aid for college last year look bad on the affidavit of support? My income is solid and I still meet the income requirement and paid for a large portion of my education out of pocket?

And my husband is air force reserve in Dominican Republic. Does anyone know what documentation he will need? Obviously all records but for the IV application documents or by the time he has the interview? Any curveballs we can avoid?

Thanks in advance

AOS Approved per phone: 10/22/14
*Received what I thought was a false checklist on this date as well*

*Problems: Called on 10/27/14 11/5/14 and 11/20/14 just to be proactive On all of these dates except the last, NVC kept telling me that my IV document probably hadn't been reviewed yet. On 11/20 the representative told me that the BC needed to be inextensa and the marriage license. True enough I had sent an extracto. But requested a supervisor review bc I knew the marriage lic was inextensa. 2 days later called again and got the same supervisor who told me that the marriage lic needed the proper signed legalizada (sticker on the back)

Sent necessary documents/Received: 11/20/14 and 11/26/14

Called 12/15/14: got Arthur....after he checked and verbally spanked he sent me to supervisor Silvia who said she would pull my file and try to figure it out.

Case complete: 12/19/14 Sylvia called and left a voicemail, called and confirmed later that night and status changed to N/A.

Thank you so much Sylvia. May God bless you and your family.

Appointment date and time received: 12/27/14

Does anyone knows which date scanned that NVC processing now? My last package has been scanned into the system on June 16. I am so worry because the PCC will be expired on July 28. Do they send me a checklist for new PCC? Its really bad if I got a checklist for that instead of bring it to the interview.

My wife called the NVC and actually got an operator who wasn't messing her about. Her name was Karson. She explained to her what happened, all the dates we spoke to the supervisors, what other agents said etc.. It's been 26 business days now. She got in contact with supervisor Sylvia and she said she didn't know anything about what was going on but, she was going to get in contact with the DR (document review) department to see what is bloody taking them so long. She said if we had any other questions to contact her and ask for her directly, and she would e-mail us asap when she finds out anything and gets it done. Fingers-crossed that our waiting will be done this week!!!

Hmm, my wife called on day 23 after my review docs were scanned in and was told we need to wait 6 weeks - no ifs or buts. I'm now on day 27. Is it possible to ask directly for Sylvia when calling NVC..?

Thanks!

Financial aid won't be an issue. As long as your income is over the poverty line.

I would say military records, but looking on the reciprocity page for the DR, those are unavailable, so it sounds like nothing is needed. But you may want to contact NVC and ask them directly.

Questions for those whose case got completed already - are we suppose to watch out for the online status to change after each documents have been reviewed? For example, I submitted DS261 first and the status for it ever since I have submitted is only "completed", for AOS, glad I didn't get any checklist but after checking up at NVC they confirmed that it has been reviewed and approved, but the status never changed from N/A, for IV packet I'm half way to complete my "30 business days" and it's N/A...do I need to worry about the status...does anyone know if it ever changes after the case is completed? Just being curious...thanks in advance

Your AOS FEE will change to N/A. That will indicate you have a Case Complete. Once your case is shipped to the Embassy, it will change back to PAID.

The question says for petitioner sponsors only. My father, who's our joint sponsor, refused to answer the question because he is not a petitioner sponsor but a joint sponsor. (He was happy to be a joint sponsor but was very annoyed by the paperwork and forms asking him all this personal info.) We marked N/A next to the question. Will this incur a checklist?

Even if it does, I doubt I can convince my father to answer the question on a new form. Argh.

I don't know if your living with your husband in France or your in the USA but either way if he doesn't you can let him know that you will have to move to France and will rarely if ever be able to visit him. I think he will quickly change his mind and if not can you find another co-sponsor? Physiology is your friend. :)(F)(L)(F)

I finally sent the IV package! :dance: Fingers crossed that I won't get a checklist. :wacko:

I'll fill out the DS-260 form next; then, I can finally relax! Maybe enjoy the endless (feels like) summer? :lol:

Wait! Since my AOS scan date is June 16, NVC will review my AOS package this week or next week. :unsure:

OK! I'll get to relax after NVC has reviewed my AOS package assuming I don't get a checklist. :content: Fingers crossed! :thumbs:

So, I've been thinking that maybe it's time to add some more columns to my spreadsheet. As it's now taking longer for pretty much every step, it might be beneficial to see how long it's taking for others. Before, the AOS bill and DS-261 were available pretty soon after the case number was assigned, and then the IV bill didn't take long to be invoiced after the DS-261 was submitted. But, we've all seen how that's changed. So, it may be time to add all these additional steps, as well as have calculations (like the current case number assigned to case complete date) for each step off to the side. Plus, I'm thinking it would make more sense to put the date the packages were scanned rather than when they were sent, since for some people, the packages arrive the next day while others could be a week or more, which skews the data. So, these are the columns I'm thinking about:

VJ member name

Service center I-130 was approved from

NOA2

NVC received

Case number assigned

AOS bill available

DS-261 available

AOS package scanned

IV bill available

DS-260 available

IV package scanned

If a real checklist was issued

If there was a checklist, when the response was scanned in

Case complete

Calculations for pretty much every step (to help you not have to calculate :P )

Not sure if I should put when the bills were paid and the online forms filled out. Besides, the DS-260, most people seem to pay the bills and submit the DS-261 right away, so not sure if it'd be worth to mention.

Anyways, sorry for the long post, but any thoughts on this? Anything else I should maybe add (without making the spreadsheet ridiculously long as it likely will be after all this :lol: )?

I have no thoughts mine is a vacuous void in the immensity of the universe. :D Plus let's face it your Yoda! :P:pop:
