NVC Filers - July 2014

[Amanda4964 202]

Just got off the phone with the NVC found out case complete, now we wait for the email saying its complete and the interview date, any info on hong hong and how soon we can expect ? Wife's visa for Hong Kong expires at the end of aug and we are stressing a little over that.

Congratulations on your case complete!!!

Hi everyone ! Never thought I'd say these words but case complete finally so happy. Any suggestions on next steps. Wishing everyone else luck

Congratulations, now just have to wait until your interview is assigned and make sure you get your medical done prior to that!

I havent gotten my case# yet but Im working on getting all docs together. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldnt find it anywhere. Will We get checklisf if we do not include Police checks?

My husband is from egypt and has police certificate for that already. But he lived in Malaysia for 2 yrs and in Lebanon for more than 6mos. The problem we ran into is that the malaysia embassy and lebanon embasy located in Cairo told him they cannot give this to him and they didnt even want to give him a letter stating they cannot provide him with a police certificate. The lawyer told us to at least get a letter from each embassy so we could include in NVC package. The other confusing part is that an employee at the Cairo Embassy told him he doesnt need to do a bchk at this time and he only needs to have a current bchk from Egypt?! Has anyone been through this or any advise on what we can/should do is greatly appreciated.

I read about this before and hope they will come along soon to let you know what to do. I think if you insist they will give a letter stating they do not give police records I know this has happened at least once before. Hope they come by soon.

Police certificate from a foreign country to the applicant is only required if he/she resided there for more than 12 months. So your husband doesn't need one from Lebanon which is very fortunate. (http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/submit/documents-to-submit-to-nvc.html)

As for Malaysia, according to http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country.html the embassy should honor your request and issue you one. Maybe be you should place your request in writing (not phone or email). There is a link to the Malaysian Foreign Office in the above website. There are others on this forum from the Far East who lived in Malaysia and would respond to you shortly I'm sure.

Glad you're starting preparations early. Download the DS-260 sampler and study it as well. Good luck!

Your always so kind and helpful God bless you!

Hi Everyone!

I am currently waiting for the IV fee to be available to pay. I submitted our DS261 May 27th. I am trying to guess when my husbands interview will be. I was hoping for an end of August interview and now I am not sure. Anyone have any estimates on when my husbands interview will be?

I ask because I was hoping to be there with my husband during his interview, so we can fly back together. However, I start school again the end of September and I must be back in the states for school. So if the interview is not before I go back to school I would like to travel to Morocco so me and my husband can spend our anniversary together.

Thank you!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn't seem likely you will have an interview by end of August. You will need to wait about 30 business days from when NVC scans your IV documents to even get a case complete and they wait until they schedule an interview after that. Keep an eye on this spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtbvTEwLyHz1dEhlZjdKczRMRmJrSnc5MTk1SkVrYVE&usp=sharing#gid=0 that will tell give you an idea of how long it takes from case complete to interview based on embassy. Once your IV docs have been scanned, you can estimate when you might expect case complete (assuming no checklists) and then estimate how long from case complete to interview.

Good luck!

Well thank you hahaaaaa sometimes I think I'm talking to myself so I just let it go sometimes. I'm not mean I have never bitten anyone yet hahahaa but wouldn't mind biting a Co on the arm Thank you for the compliment I am humbled.

Exactly lol. Wow. And thats that. Didn't know that was so serious. I like how you handle things. You seem really friendly and normal

Nicely handled, Soloenta! I was also like "I didn't know that was so serious!"

Maybe I'm not serious enough since some people seem to be super intense over little things that nobody cares (at least I don't)?
