[dilmera 124]

Thanks to all my VJ family. Got Case Complete. Wish every a speedy process.

IV scanned July 2.

Congratulations

So, finally made it here, still waiting for our package to arrive at NVC, but trying to get ahead of the game. One question: It seems I qualify for the I-864EZ VS the regular I-864. What is the difference and which one should I file instead?

I think if you filed a 1040 EZ and meet the 3 conditions to fill I-864 EZ, then you can do it, Saylin or anyone confirm this.

Hi all,

I am a new Aug NVC filer.

I technically sent the AOS package (Sponsor and JS) in July, but got a Checklist (asking 2013 tax info that my bro in law forgot to send).

Everything will be sent this week:

- I already sent the IV civil docs

- my in-law will sent the 2013 data from the US beginning of next week

Next steps: validation and embassy appointment

Sorry about the checklist..... Glad that you will be responding to the checklist this week...

By the way is your timeline correct? I see that the date you sent your AOS was July 14th. Is this correct because we all still believe NVC is working on the July 7th scan dates..... If your timeline is correct then its good news. NVC seems to be making some progress!!!

You don't have to have filed the 1040EZ to use the I-864EZ. Just meeting the three conditions listed on the I-864EZ will do.

What tax return is filed makes no difference if you're eligible for the I-864EZ or not. It's only the three criteria stated in the form and instructions that determine if you're eligible.

And like I've said in my wiki, just because you are eligible, does NOT mean you need to use it. You just need to qualify if you want to use it. There's no requirement that if you qualify, you are required to use the I-864EZ. It's just an easier form option for those that qualify.

A quick question..i sent my aos last month ..my wife spoke to a rep and he said we can also send the iv package now writing attn:dr on it so my question is will this save time becoz iv invoice still not available..

Can someone please address this?

[Saylin 1,605]

Can someone please address this?

It has already been discussed, both in this month's thread and last month's. I've also included a note about it in my wiki.

Some are for it, some don't suggest it. I'm in the latter camp.

Hi good morning to all,

This question pertains to cover letter for IV package. I am making copying right now what has been given as guided by our lovely Saylin and thank you for that Saylin. And I have this in mind, IV cover letter sample is beneficiary's signature and address but I appointed my spouse as my agent so what I understood is on the IV package, it will be signed by my spouse, the petitioner and the address and contact info would be my spouse's info. Kindly correct me and guide me please.

thank you all..esp. Saylin.

Yes it's actually good news. Hopefully they confirm this soon.

Doesn't matter whose information/signature is at the bottom, whether they're agent or not. Heck, there really doesn't even need to be that at the bottom since the cover letter in itself is completely optional. The important part of the cover letter (the whole point) is the list of what documents are being included. Everything else is just fluff really.

64 days waiting for the IV fee to be invoiced!!!!

You should call NVC. I hope you get the invoice today or tomorrow. Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks a lot!!! The thing is that calling didnt help. They just give me that "MINIMUM 60 days"....

We were told that documents could be sent at any time. So we did, using the same cover letter as before for the AOS package. Our IV fee had not been invoiced when we sent the IV package, but got it 2 days later. I don't really know if it does anything to help speed up the case. Mostly I just wanted to get the documents off my hands. And to feel like I was doing something...

Yet another friend of mine I met today and said why is it taking so long for u one of my friend went in 6 months. I said it must be a fiancé visa so she said yes they were married but didn't declare their marriage. I wanted to break something. Why is this process so freaking unfair!! I m so so angry right now. Only illegally can people go so quickly and they are happy. We are paying the price for following rules. I wish I wish I hadn't been so stuck up on this visa and had went on tourist or fiancé visa.

What they did was super risky. If that ever gets found out, it will invalidate the Green Card and result in a misrep ban.

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts. No change to AOS fee yet. Haven't called since Friday USA time on day 60. I was told a supervisor wasn't available and my case "definitely" would be reviewed this week.

I tried calling Tuesday and gave up when I couldn't get through for 20 minutes. Last night I was too tired to call. I will wait until Friday USA time to call again, then I will be at 67 days and hopefully then someone will let me speak to a supervisor if I don't have a case complete by then.

My job has been a god-send. Amazing what keeping busy during the day can do to forget about it for awhile.

Sorry to hear your arm has been so painful!

I will keep everyone posted if anything changes with me, but for right now I am just numb about it all and have no emotion. I just feel like there is nothing I can do. I even sent off letters to a congressman and a senator last week by email. Haven't even gotten an automated reply. Ever feel like you are completely invisible? That is me in this process right now. As I see case completes with scan dates 2 weeks LATER than mine, I cringe. I am happy for everyone of course, but it is just another reminder of how my file has been screwed yet again.

This week was my 14-month immiversary (and also marked 12 years that I have been living in Australia.) I have loved Australia my second home and even became a dual-citizen, but now it's time for me to go home.

Hi Amanda! I´m still waiting on a review of my Jun 25th scan package as well I also plan to call tomorrow Friday at 7:00am, and I hope we both get some good news!
