Hi everyone completely excited !!! Well we have this lady that is helping us to fill out our applications so since my hubby is in the USA he is the one that speaks to her so I thought that she filled our ds260 too long ago but the last week of august she finally complete the form I was so sad because of time issues. Well to my surprise last Wednesday sep. 10th I got an email of case complete and interview date as oct 23 I couldn't believe it !!! I am so excited !!!! :joy:

Congratulations. When did you send IV package (last scan date)? If you could please fill up your timeline, so that we can estimate our time to case complete. Thank you

Woooohoo! After waiting exactly 60 days we were finally able to pay our IV fee today. Pretty annoyed to have to pay the increased fee after such a long wait but still happy to have some progress. Time to get going on the DS-260! Good luck everyone!

Just called NVC. Called at exactly 7:00am but was still on hold for 14 minutes.

Talked to Eileen (I think), no CC yet for me, but without me even asking, she said that they are now working weekends to try to process cases quicker.

Finally, IV bill invoiced and paid today, after 5 days of waiting (3 business days).....

Now DS-260 still to become available...So f slow everything!!!

How did you find out that your DS-261 was reviewed and accepted? We submitted ours a month ago and still waiting, is there something online that indicates it's been reviewed/accepted or do you call them?

I have a scan date of July 18th and NVC is still reviewing my package according to the NVC operator.

I have two applications (wife and stepson) - I will keep calling and asking ...

I believe the hold up is that my stepson application is still showing that i need to pay the $88 dollars for the AOS fees, but already paid for my wife, so I don't understand...maybe I need to pay for the two AOS applications

anyone that can shed some light about paying the AOS fees...

regarding el pasado judicial I got two documents, one from the website "Policia" and the other one we had to pay about 30,000 pesos...did it online, then I got a receipt...wife went to the bank and paid ...after two hours got a pasado judicial via e-mail...did send that as well.

I did not translate any document, not sure if i had to...

If your stepson's AOS fees doesn't show up as paid you need to call NVC to have it sorted. I have 2 concurrent cases too and as soon as I paid for one, the other one was updated to paid too.

PLEASE HELP ME: Hi everyone help please - the fact that I was so sure I would not get a checklist and the fact that I got it is causing me to question my own competence. I need help with the checklist. Do I have to send the supporting documents all over again or just print another i864, correct and send it with the checklist as the cover page?

I also don't have a clue what they are asking me for in some of them!

The checklist stated

Yeah, as someone said before by calling NVC.

I called them last Monday (15th) and found out DS-261 was reviewed and accepted on 12th

Thanks for congratulating me for my CC! I can now relax!

It took me 4 months and 17 days to get a CC! But... I didn't even get a single checklist!

If I had gotten a checklist, it'd have taken me over 6 months to get a CC! It'd have been a crime!

Good luck everyone! I'm off to the interview thread (but still here waiting for my friends to get a CC)!

Congrats! And WITHOUT a lawyer!

Just need a clarification

We don't need to send all three yrs of tax transcripts right? It's just optional?

Also, as far as the not leaving anything blank and putting NA everywhere, are ppl also putting that in the area where it asks if u had a preparer ?

Preparers address and such? Leave blank or write NA there as well. Btw I am doing the 864EZ

AOS package is the one that gets checklist a lot! Few common reasons!:

-Make sure you have your tax transcripts for the last three years, or the 1040's with the w-2 and relevant 1099 (if you have any). Don't leave any out because they will checklist you for it. If you haven't filed a tax return one year because you weren't required to, write a note in the cover letter, and a sticky note saying why, and that should suffice.

My best advice is to read the 1864 instructions! Print them out, and go bit by bit. Have them side by side with a practice run for your I864, look it over a bit few times before you send it off to catch any mistakes. (This help tremendously!!!)

Other than that, Good luck and welcome to the thread once again

You have to include the most recent year, but the previous two before that are optional. I included all of mine in an abundance of caution, because it's as easy to order three as it is to order one. I also put N/A on the first line of the preparer section, on the signature line.
