NVC Filers - August 2014

[blacktears 25]

That's super harsh. I hope it doesn't take that long. They put that 60 days number out there to cover their butts.

I dont know. It seems its going to be 60 days for me. Really upset. Instead of reducing the time they increased it. Bullshit.

Thanks, I stand corrected. I was extrapolating from the instructions in http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/ivfaq.html Specifically the text states "

• If your birth was registered more than three years after you were born, you must submit the certificate along with a magistrate's order concerning the late registration."

So the mistake I made was confusing "birth registration" with "when the birth certificate was issued / minted". I apologize for any confusion.

Well, SHAME ON YOU YOUR HUMAN!

Customer service rep in a robotic voice: "Your package should be reviewed any day now" "It will take at least 60 days to review it" "There is no problem, it just has not been reviewed yet" "I don't know" "Thank you for calling, have a nice day" I don't know why I even bother...

Did they also tell you that they were working overtime this weekend including Labor Day?

Let me know what you find out! Good luck!

i talked to NVC a few hours ago. They confirmed me not to open ds-261 once it is completed. This action resets the registration date. i insisted her about why is this that way if i did not either modify or resubmit the form again and I have a electronic confirmation with the original date. I specifically requested about what is my ds-261 registration date in the system. She barely answered my question and said that there was no date in the system for my ds-261. She told me again not to open it. I don't know what to think. This people tease us....anyways, lesson learned!

Hi everyone, well we just got off the phone with NVC, and they said that our CASE IS COMPLETE!!

Apparently, case complete was on 8/25, although we haven't gotten any notification yet. We had given up on calling all the time, so I was shocked that it was actually complete! Maybe last week when I called NVC and yelled and complained to a supervisor about our case, NVC actually did something? Our DS-260 was sent in on June 3, but because they somehow missed receiving it (how do you miss an electronic submission to your website?!). So then it got sent for Supervisor Review on July 22...so I guess that's our official last scan date...it was approved without us having to provide any other info.

Good luck to everybody else going through this craziness...hang in there, mid-2013 USCIS folks...there is light at the end of the tunnel!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CONGRATULATIONS, SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!

I did the same thing and it didn't set me back. Keep your confirmation and call NVC.

I called them and they insisted me not to open ds-261 completed. This resets the date.

I specifically asked them about my confirmation date (i keep it) and they barely knew what to say but just not to open it.

What response did you get?

Oh-oh... You just opened a can of worms pal.

Congratulations :joy: :Dance: exactly one week. I pray you get a quick interview date.

Even supervisor reviews are taking a whole month now!!! Unbelievable!

Glad it's behind you now. Just curious, your profile says Iran and your signature says Kuala Lumpur!

Thanks MoBar,

Actually, my wife's the beneficiary. She's from Iran but we met and are still living in Malaysia, where I've been working the last few years. But now we're excited to head back to USA soon hopefully!

Thanks a lot Soloenta! Wow, where do you get your amazing icons?! The Walk Like Egyptian one is awesome!

Got off the phone with 2 reps.. separate occasions.

they are saying my husbands original birth certificate was missing even though it was sent in and it was the right document.

she said she will have them review the document again, but it could take another 60 days to review... this is the worst.

im assuming a false checklist wouldn't include something that specific... i will have to have words with my lawyer...

You don't need to keep checking the CEAC site once you have paid the AOS fee and it has changed to "PAID" because you'll receive an IV fee invoice email once your DS-261 has been reviewed.

I stayed away from the CEAC site until receiving the IV fee invoice email from NVC. I didn't want to accidentally click the DS-261 link while seeing the same old info on the CEAC site.

Wait! I thought NVC told you that they were still waiting to review your DS-260 even though your lawyer filled it out a long time ago? So it turned out that you got a checklist on the birth certificate and that was causing the delay?

Yes, I'd talk to your lawyer if I were you. It's possible that your lawyer forgot to include the birth certificate. If not, you can talk to a supervisor and have them review your package. It may be faster than waiting for another 60 calender days. Fingers crossed!
