NVC Filers - July 2014

[LRKO 53]

How did you submit your IV package before paying the fee and getting the cover sheet? Will this save time, or will there still be a wait of a month while they process your DS-260?

I hope you get invoiced soon!

Was told by the NVC customer service I could send civil documents using the AOS cover sheet....the big question is when does my 30 days start....from scanned date of civil documents or the IV invoice paid date...only time will tell....

Thank you-- that's helpful. I think someone else on the regional forum suggested it might be equivalent to an associate's degree in the US?

I think it might be equivalent to an Associate's Degree, but I'm not sure if it could be used as a literal translation.

I think that Advanced Technician, University Level is a better translation You decide

Hi! Try going to wes.org to check the equivalency of his education in his home country to the US.

Hope this helps.

Hi Soloenta!

You enter your profle, click on edit my profile, click on signature on the left menu.

On the text box, there is a formating menu, click on the third button (it says Special BBcode), select spoiler, and paste the text

An easier way to do it: Write whatever you want to be in the spoiler like this:

(spoiler) insert your text (/spoiler) , but replace the parenthesis for brackets -> []

The document review period is 30 days is from scanned date of documents.

We worked with an attorney - and all that was sent (and all that was needed for us - Australia) was our marriage certificate. If your case is straightforward - then that (marriage certificate) should be all that is mandatory. Anything extra is up to you.

Sukie in Oz (we have our flights booked - July 15th - POE JFK)

Flights booked? Yay! So, I assume that means the interview went well. Would love to hear all the details, as we will also be interviewed in Sydney in the next couple of months.

Mine was scanned 2nd of June .. one day before ya.

Yet it seems they are still working on the 28th of may cases and check lists so far

So 29th, 30th, and the 2nd of June are left .. (since 31st of May and 1st of June were holidays)

This week (Mon - Fri) the NVC were processing 27th and 28th of May, didn't see any 29th so far

Which makes it one of the very slowest rates ever in the NVC --> only two days of cases in the entire working week

So if they stay in the same rate they should reach both our dates after one more week (starting 14th July)

I hope they act faster so you get there response regarding your case next week

Best Wishes

Amanda,

I posted a review under the "Reviews: Embassy" area. Take a look!

Hello Everyone. Just trying to get an idea if the following happened to anyone.

My parents went for their interview. CO asked only 3 simple questions and then looked at some pictures. Afterwards he kept their passports and told them that everything is ok and they should expect their passports with the visas within 20 days. Now it does sound like a very good news and I am very much happy but I thought approved or not the CO should have given them some sort of letter stating that the interview has been approved or something. Right? He didn't give them any letter or any colored slip ..... nothing.

I tried checking their visa application status right now .... about 3 hours after the interview and the status still says "READY". I am assuming will change within a day to reflect the correct status.

Anyone else experienced this ?

Livstrong,

When we finished our interview, the gentlemen told us that my spouse was approved. We got no slip of paper. However, the people who interviewed with the woman in the next "booth" DID get a slip of paper. I think it must be optional. I know we are OK, because we got my spouse's passport back in the mail today (2 days later!).

Hopefully your parents' passports will be back in their hands soon!

Thank you Sukie and I really hope you are correct.

I guess I am just concerned about how sometimes they put cases under AP review. I have read stories here on VJ where everything goes fine even the interview is approved but the people dont get their passports for 3-6 months. In those cases they get 221g letter (i guess thats what its called) where they tell them that they need to do futher processing. In my parents cases they didnt give them anything so ...... it seems like a good sign and the fact that CO himself said that both the passports and visa will be issued within 20 days.

Did you by any chance check the visa status after the interview? Was there any change in status?

Thanks
