NVC Filers - August 2014

[Soloenta 2,218]

Someone posted that the waiting time for ds-261 to be reviewed and accepted is 60 days. Is this real?? I thought 60-days is how long it would take before they review AOS amd IV package...

Btw, Im confused with the new visa fees. Are we affected by that?

Thanks guys!

Saylin AKA said it would not affect us.

[Soloenta 2,218]

I was only referring to the bit about paying the difference at the interview. The fees will still be increased on September 12th, so if you haven't paid one or both of the fees by then, then yes, you'll be paying the new, increased fee.

Ok so now I'm totally confuseddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!

do anyone really know if NVC is working on Monday can we call them?

Have you ever heard of any government workers working a Holiday, any Holiday hahahahaaaa no way and they will take the rest of the week off to they will just be at the office. hahahahaha Breath, I am, I know how you feel I hate weekends and Holidays to.

Federal Government is not working on Monday.

Hubs has a 4 day weekend.

I'd say he was a lucky guy, but I just had from July 1 - Sept 1 off so I can't complain.

No way, our brains are still mush from the trauma of this whole thing that's all. I know people think I'm being funny but I'm not, since going through this I'm a mess and really should keep my mouth shut. I'm not stupid really. I deal with heavy duty situations that take split seconds to react or someone is dead. You can't be stupid, so I hope after this is all over and I rest my brain hahahahaa it will go back to it's normal self. No not working with patients now so heheheee no one is in danger. Or they would all be deader than a door nail for sure. So your not at the back of the pack your right there in the middle.

Oh Soloenta

You are so nice. I think this journey has changed us all and for those of us who have gone through it apart from our spouses, as you and I have, I think it has changed our relationships with our husband as well. We are fortunate as we have been married for 17 years so have a strong base to go through something like this. I do feel bad for those who have just got married and were separated quickly as they applied for their Visas. It must be tough but we just hope and pray that when they are back together the love that bound them together in the beginning will see them stronger.

Today is a big day for us as it is exactly a year ago today that my husband left to start his new job in the US. He was quite down this morning but I kept saying that it really won't be long now.

Oh well, better go before I start going on and on and on ......

Good luck to everyone - I hope we all get to (get to?) pay our fees before they go up.

In other news, wow! What a lot of printing I've had to do today... I did EP so NVC only had scans of everything, and now I have to bring originals and copies to the interview - I feel for all of you who had to print/copy all that stuff and send it by mail! Yikes!

I bet you'll be dragging your feet to the office on Tuesday, nonetheless. That's what my kids were like this morning, first day back to school. They were so looking forward to going to school in the US... NVC had the final say though.

hey guys

i am lil bit confused , our sponsor send us the W2 form and the tax transcripts

in the question PART6 in i864

13a.......

13b......

13c......

do we use the information on the W2 or tax transcripts?

do we put NET or GROSS income ?

thanx

hi dear be very attentive and do ask from expert so that you will not get any cheklist.. i got a cheklist for part 6, 13. a. 1..

In Part 6. Sponsor's Income and Employment, please correct the following...

[x] Items 13.a.1. The income you enter must match the total (gross) income reported on your most recent Federal

income tax return. If you filed Form 1040EZ, use the adjusted gross income instead.

[SharksBelow 99]

I don't think there is a field to comment on addresses. The form might also reject overlapping dates, but could be wrong. I know that it does flag missing gaps over the years.

Here is what I think you should do: List in the form one of the addresses... the one that matches closest to the addresses on your ID or school records then, and in the IV documents cover letter, explain the situation and list the other address.

This makes perfect sense! Thank you!

17 years how beautiful and yes that makes all the difference in the world, your well established and have children but it's still not the most easy thing in the world to be apart. I will be married 3 years Oct 16 Th and I can tell you this hasn't changed anything for us. We hold each other up, ok he holds me up more than I do him. He keeps saying don't worry we will be together soon Insha'Allah. What this has taught me is to realize how lucky and blessed I am to have found my husband in this gigantic world and USCIS, NVC or the Cairo Embassy can't change that!

I join you in prayer so that those separated to soon will hold together tight and make their union stronger.

Hahaha you crack me up girl, where do you think I'm going? Do you think I would abandon you here because I get a CC God willing? REALLY YOU THINK THAT! I'm parking my A$$ right here until you get your CC, you can take that to the bank and get a 0% loan on that one!

And NOPE, Austin just forgot is all I do that all the time my brain freezes and I can't think of the all the ID's I want to mention. So there

Thankyou so so much all of u guys! It means a lotttt really. I don't know what I would have done without VJ in all this time! And yes u guys were talking about ppl who live together for a short time and then get apart so I lived with my husband for barely 3 weeks and I have been living life without him for close to 2.5 years now (including 8 months that we were engaged) so yeah we couldn't have things as strong as old couples here and yet facing this distance is really really harder for people like us I think. But since we have faced tha worst now I do think that it doesn't take ordinary love to face it and we must have stronger bond than I used to think we have. But we will all make It to the finish line soon now can't wait for this nightmare to be over and can't wait to cheer for u guys on having case completes in a couple weeks and I really do mean it

I really wish we all get a CC as soon as possible. Hey!!! We'll also be hanging around for Samreen also
