So did you just neatly write N/A in the spots that you couldn't type into? For example things that need to have numbers typed into them, not letters?

I didn't write N/A on any blank spaces and my AOS was reviewed and accepted. The only place where people get checklist is form 1-864EZ at the address section that says if its different from residential address. If left blank, nvc will issue a checklist so Its better to write N/A at that section.

Correct me if I am wrong. So most of the people who get the n/a checklist are the one who filed i 864 ez not the i 864

Yeah, the only reason why I made it a point to say that I filled out the I-864, put N/A everywhere there was a blank, and DIDN'T get a checklist is because someone on here was saying about 2 weeks ago that one of their friends received a checklist for doing so (not on the EZ). :)

Sorry I posted this before but I don't think I got an answer. This thread moves FAST!

I'm currently prepping the AOS and IV packages to send together. We just discovered that we need an additional police certificate from UK since my husband lived there in 2001 - 2003.

The UK police check will take 3 weeks to arrive to us which would set us back.

Should we:

- Wait for the UK police check and send AOS and IV packages all at once?

OR

- Send AOS package now and wait for the additional police check to then send IV package separately?

The reason why we wanted to send both packages together is because mailing docs from Australia (I'm living abroad with my husband) is expensive!

If it's possible to just bring the UK police certificate to the interview when it's time that would be great! Don't know if it works that way....

i think nvc hired more staff.. i just received my interview email today.. it was scheduled yesterday.. :dancing:

I really pray and hope so {though I saw a post somewhere about openings and hiring at the immigration sector, don't know how true it is}. They should hire more people to review packages so as to speed up this long process.

Hey Everyone! Checking back in after being away from the internet for a while. For those that were following me, it paid off to send my IV civil documents in early because when I was finally able to pay my IV invoice, my 30 business days for my civil documents was up about a week later. They reviewed my documents but unfortunately I got a check list for the PCC for UAE. Conflicting info on the reciprocity page vs the UAE - US embassy website so it wasn't sent in...now we have sent in the PCC and my new wait time is in effect! I've lost track of the document review wait times but hopefully it will be sooner rather than later as at 15 months at this process, I am tired of the wait...congrats to all those that I started with and that have jumped ahead with case completes! So happy it is working out for you all! Send good vibes my way so hopefully we can get a case complete soon! xx
