NVC Filers - August 2014

[Saylin 1,605]

Hi Saylin,

Just an observation, I was going thru the nvc wiki and under the icon of How to Find Out WHEN Your Case Number was Assigned. I think The next three numbers are the Julian date it was assigned, MINUS 500. Because I calculated mine by subtracting the Julian date it was assigned Minus the 500 and I got the correct date my case number was assigned. vScreenshot_1407258460783.jpgvScreenshot_1407258460783.jpg

I wrote it correctly. I said the next three numbers was the Julian date plus 500. I'm explaining what the RESULT is, so 315 + 500 = 815.

If you want to work backwards to calculate the date the case number was assigned, then yes, it's minus 500, but that's not how I worded it.

60 day email today. I'll call later, but my guess is nothing actually happened. way too early. But the good news is, the date on the letter is July 22 and they told me July 23. Saylin, do you want us to update the new spreadsheet with the dates from our letters? I realize that I only want to do this because I like my new date better. Others may want to ignore this!

Please call and confirm that earlier date before submitting an update. I thought I had read here a lot of people's dates were off by a few days, so it may be the case with you as well. So, see what NVC has in their system first (even though this new date is nicer as it's earlier )

I wonder how they picked and chose certain cases with the petitioner living abroad to be auto-expedited because I am NOT one of the ones that was picked. Hmmmm....

(this is not an attack against you, just me thinking/venting out loud)

Because all of those in 2013 got stuck in the backlog and they weren't auto-expediting those abroad due to it.

Hey guys...

So..I got the "60 day" email as well.

I randomly looked at CEAC to see if there is any progress on my case...

The AoS fee has been changed to "N/A"!!!!!

Just spoke with Abby(?) at NVC...CASE COMPLETE - August 4th!!!!!!

Thank you..baby Jesus!!

Awaiting Interview Date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!

Man no kidding! What I wouldn't give to know the answer to that. If there was an actually line, black and white, it would be so much easier to deal with. You send it in, you wait your turn, you get your chance, done. I feel like a fish in a barrel.

Email Recvd for the 60 day

How did you do your own calculations?

Because based on the example Saylin gave:

815-500=315 which is the 11th of November

When I did my own calculation which is:

643-500=143 which is 23rd May and that was when my case number was assigned.

You should check the next 3 figures after 2014 and subtract 500, you will get the date your case number was assigned.

Yeah I realized it worked both ways. She just means it's the Julian Date + 500. If you subtract 500 then you'll figure out what your Julian Date is. So both ways are correct.

Also, your signature says April 24 for your case number, that's why I got confused. You should update it to May.

Yea I calculated it backwards. I just hope my brain is not working backwards with this NVC long process.

So how many people are going to send their IV packet with the AOS barcode sheet? I need to call myself but if that is a real option I want it!

Hi to all, My husband and I both received the same 60 day email everyone else got yesterday but I as agent also received this one...,

We received Xxxxxx Choice of Address and Agent form. The next step is to pay the immigrant visa application fee. We will send an invoice to the designated agent after the form is processed.

What does this mean??????

Has anyone received this yet?

I got that email on June 17th. I submitted the DS-261 on May 30th and still have no invoice, so I don't think that email means anything is imminent, unfortunately

I am expecting a checklist for IV civil documents. I have not sent the original birth certificate. My bad. Called NVC, then the operator said either original or a certified copy and said also, better wait to see untill the docs are reviewed. The NVC site says originbal document, but the operator says either original or certifiled one. Which one I should beleive? Do I need to really send the original/certified now or wait till they review it?

Appreciate for all the answers.

They will accept both.. It doesn't really matter which one, as long as it's what they ask for.

Thanks!

I would send the original. I have seen people getting checklists when sending a certified copy.

[ArthurandMarcela 249]

Congradulations!!!!! What a huge relief that is for you! Cheers!

Thanks, yours is coming!

[BOS_LHR 829]

Thanks!

I would send the original. I have seen people getting checklists when sending a certified copy.

Certified copies are 100% acceptable, it's notarized copies that are checklist-worthy. I think people might get confused about the differences between the two and use the terms interchangeably when they shouldn't.

Those checklists are probably for notarised copies, not certified.
