Hi all,

I am devastated. I received an IV Checklist this morning. Good news for all of you I did receive the 60 day email yesterday for the IV documents but they were reviewed less than 24 hours later.

Items checklisted for were:

Singapore Police Certificate - Expected although the information they have sent me is WAY out of date. It says they send the Certificate to NVC and they don't - they send it to me. I am going to see if I can take to interview but I suspect not.

Birth Certificate - already sent. I am adopted and I only have one Certificate. It is a long version, we sent them the original plus a copy. We also sent them a letter from the Registry from UK stating what an Adoption Certificate is. It is the same one I used last time to get my Green Card. Will talk to them about this tomorrow.

Australian Police Certificate - I live in South Australia and when you get one from here it is for the whole of Australia. They want one from NSW, where I have never lived and QLD where I lived for a year but this is included in the Federal one I have sent them. I seem to remember Sukie having trouble with this.

I have been trying to get hold of our lawyer all day today to no avail. Hubby called NVC this morning but I am going to call tomorrow and see if I can speak to a Supervisor. Is it easy to get a Supervisor? Should I say something specific to make sure they put me through.

Any help?

Ohh no :( So sorry, hon! :crying:

Please hang in there and let us know what you find out when you call NVC. Will keep you in my prayers ..

Big big hugs!

hi everybody, both our fees status changed to paid today. we got the packets ready to mail out but the lawyer says to wait for the confirmation bar code or something the NVC will send us "in the mail", otherwise we would be check listed. I was not following this thread for nearly 2-3 months. I need members to tell me they are sending in the package according to Saylin's wiki with the required things right after the fee status changes to paid and not waiting for any confirmation thing and they are not receiving checklist for it.

 

 

I'm the beneficiary, wife of USC.
12/30/2012: Got engaged.
1/16/2013: Got married in India.

3/4/2013: Priority date, NOA1.
11/6/2013: Case was transferred to Nebraska Service Center.

1/6/2014: 60 days of transfer are up, put in an e-request, given 30 days' time. Contacted the senator. Senator asked to wait till Feb 6 and if nothing then she will do something.
2/5/2014: Website status changed to RFE.
2/10/2014: Attorney gets RFE. They need G325A and photos of both me and husband, original marriage certificate, copy of marriage record and it's translation.

2/19/2014: Documents received by husband.
2/24/2014: RFE mailed.
2/26/2014: Case status changed to RFE review.
3/6/2014: After 367 days, NOA2.

After approval kept calling NVC but NVC always had one reply, file was not in their system. Husband too called USCIS National Customer Service Center and was told case was sent to NVC.
4/2/2014: Write to NSCFollowup to know about the status of the petition.
4/10/2014: Put in a ?service request with USCIS starting with OVP to locate case.
4/16/2014: Reply from NSCFollowup that the U.S. law prohibited that office from responding to anyone other than the petitioner and to have the petitioner contact them.

4/22/2014: Petitioner sent email to NSCFollowup
5/14/2014: Receive email from NVC Research that they do not have a record of receiving the petition.
5/16/2014: Congressman's immigration caseworker contacted supervisor at NSC who said the petition is pending and will be dispatched in two weeks.
5/27/2014: Petitioner received response from NSCFollowup that the case was pending an internal extended review. Really?
6/19/2014: USCIS case status change, "On June 19, 2014, we shipped this case..."

I'm so sorry to hear about your checklist! And boy, they want quite a bit of paper! Please let us know what you find out after you speak with them.

I hope they will allow you to move on from this quickly. At this point, it may be healthy to double and triple check anything your lawyers do and say. If I'm not mistaken, they already failed to get the petitioner's signature on a document and put in the wrong income amount on the I-864. I would call the NVC and contact the US embassy in Sydney to verify what documents they actually need.

Try to keep your spirits up! It's a minor setback. You will get through. We all will.

I'm the USC petitioner. My wife is British (now a USC!!!), generally awesome, and amazingly patient.

Assuming the June 17th "60 days" scan date is complete tosh since NVC insist our DS-261 scan date is June 2nd, today is our 45th business day of waiting for the IV invoice. No response from congresswoman and my husband is hesitant to contact his senators because he's convinced we need to wait 60 business days from June 17th now :mellow:

Ketsuban, in my (unsolicited) opinion, your husband needs to raise hell, not sit around and wait because someone told him a later date. I was told the same later date nonsense by someone, and it's completely unacceptable, period. Worse case scenario if he contacts his senators is that they can't do anything. It can't hurt to try.

OMG... Got IV Invoice email.... now waiting to update the website so we can pay.... Thank you Lord........

I finally got my iv invoice so excited

Congrats..... I got my IV invoice email but still cant pay on there website :( :( :(

I got my IV invoice e-mail this morning, business day 44. But it's still not online. How long does that take? I've been calling NVC every other day for so long that I just want to drink my coffee in peace. Does anyone know? I don't want to start my day with that stupid music.

USCIS (Priority date April 1, Approval April 17, no RFEs)

March 28, 2014: I-130 sent via FedEx from Bogotá to Chicago Lockbox

April 1, 2014: Delivered to Chicago Lockbox at 10:29 a.m. according to FedEx tracking; signed for by J. CHYBA (date confirmed by My Case Status)

April 4, 2014: NOA1 e-mail received at 12:17 a.m.; case accepted and routed to CSC for processing. Check cashed.

I printed your wiki too, back in the very beginning, before I ever started commenting on the threads. Your wiki has I'm sure helped countless people who have never posted on these forums at all

Awww, glad to hear! That's the reason why I put the wiki together, to help people out. I'm happy at least SOME people have used it!

That is the information he gave me and I don't think they have scanned the IV in yet but I'll call and ask. Ty sweet heart. :)character031.gif

Just call up today and ask specifically:

'When was my AOS package scanned in?' (should be close to the date it was delivered)

'When was my IV package scanned in?' (should be close to the date it was delivered)

Depending when the IV package was delivered, it should have been scanned already as it only takes a few days to scan in.

:rofl: :rofl:

:whistle::whistle::innocent:

VISA APPROVED!!! We did it!!

My husband will be coming home with me after our anniversary/honeymoon! No more goodbyes, no more tears of sadness, no more hogging the bed!

SAYLIN, you are a rock star! Without your wiki, I know we would have been check listed! Thank you to everyone else for their support, laughs and ears for the last year, it's been quite a journey. My Oscar speech is on the September thread lol

CCCCOOOOONNNNNGGGGRRRAAAATTTTSSSS :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

*cues Oscar music* Thanks for mentioning me in your Oscar speech! :D

I got my IV invoice e-mail this morning, business day 44. But it's still not online. How long does that take? I've been calling NVC every other day for so long that I just want to drink my coffee in peace. Does anyone know? I don't want to start my day with that stupid music.

It took 1 day between the email and getting a link to pay. After paying, another 2 days before it changed to "PAID" and DS-260 became available.
