Hi All,

I think I did a mistake on I-864A. where there is the Sponsors and House hold members promise It say indicate number I put 13a since the beneficiaries name was on 13a, I read on VJ that its the number of immigrants they meant. I just sent the packet few hours ago what should i do? Wait for the REF or print and send another I-864A with the correction?

Their instructions are not at all clear. I and my wife we both were trying to make sense what they meant "indicated number", what number that they have forgotten to mention, that left to the readers imagination. Great NVC!

What should i do to reduce the waiting period?

Thanks

What did you say you put on the line for Part 2 Item 13? I will send mine tomorrow and just want to make sure I did the right thing...

I put number 1 since it is for one immigrant... is that right?

Yes, you're supposed to write the number of immigrants being sponsored on the form which is 1 (for your significant other).

Why do we have to wait for 60 days after getting a checklist?

because currently the wait time is 60 calendar days.

It used to be 30 business days (which was about 45 calendar days.)

Hi,

I called NVC today and asked how long will it take to review the documents after we obtain a checklist. They said they will take another 60 days.. Is that true or did the guy not understand my question? Its ridiculous if we have to wait for 120 days to get documents approved. Anyone has a idea if that agent is correct?

If thats the case all my police clearance will expire before interview and its hell getting documents from govt offices from two different countries.

This journey has been the most frustrating with unacceptable waits.

Thanks

The standard response the NVC is giving is 60 days. It may take that long, it may take longer, or it may not take that long. With the volume of files that the NVC is currently working with, expect that will take as long as they say if not longer and count your blessings if it doesn't.

did you get any checklist and if you got any are you still waiting for your case to complete??? Because recently when I called NVC I found out that there is an error in affidavit of Support but haven't received checklist from NVC yet. I don't know why are they taking so long to review the correction. It should be done for pending case from long time.
