NVC Filers - September 2014

[matdeepu 8]

Hi guys, My scan dates are AOS: 29-Jul-2014 , IV: 23-Aug-2014 and AOS (proof of same household for I864A): 3-Sept-2014

I called the NVC yesterday and they said my packets will be reviewed together on/before 3-Nov-2014 (60 days).

Is it true that they are no longer reviewing packets one by one (ie. according to the individual scan dates for each)? I'm just concerned that if i get a checklist, it would prolly be March before I get my interview date!!

This process is actually not helpful.They will consider the last scan date and will have a checklist after that.Just assume that your IV scan date was sep 5 and AOS scan date was july 22,in this situation they gotta review both packages on Nov 5th - it will delay the process in case of you have a checklist for AOS. Right? I hope so...

Hello everyone, one question: looking at the screen shots for the DS261 application, I noticed that one of the first questions is "Beneficiary's id number". Where do I get this if I still didn't get any notice from NVC yet? I got my account number and IIN number today, but what is a "beneficiary id number"? Also, if I happen to get that, is it wise to start the DS-261 without notice from NVC? Thanks for the answers!

NO its not there in DS-260

Whoa. Sorry guys, I went MIA there for a bit. Been a crazy couple of weeks.

Congrats on all the CCs! I saw Austin and Soloenta so far... yay!!!

Thanks! Congrats for getting an Oct interview!

Just got off the phone with GUS at the NVC... oh Gus, sweet Gus... the NICEST rep I've ever talked to...

He was nice even before I gave him my case number...

but once he looked at my file, he became my favorite person in all of NVCdom...

CASE COMPLETE :joy: :joy:

Congrats! EP is now much faster than sending packages!

I should have done EP instead! Too late! Oh, well.

I did the same ...Sent only PCC from Passport office...If you look at the following link they are pretty clear about India

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country/IN.html

In website they are not asking for PCC from district police station Its says ;

Indian Police Clearance Certificates should be obtained as follows:

• All Indian IV applicants aged 16 and above, residing in India, should obtain police

certificates from the local Passport Office.

• Indian passport holders applying for visas outside India should obtain a statement from their

local embassy or consulate confirming they have no criminal record.

• Non-Indian IV applicants residing in India should obtain police certificates from the District

Police Station serving their area of residence.

• Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) applicants applying

outside India.

Thank you for your reply

I feel like a Guinea Pig in NVC's experiments.

Although they said the recent changes wont affect people who are already in the process but I was wrong I guess.

But anyway... Now that I know, have to live with it!

Congratulations JeffnJazz thats awesome you finally got a cc??

[Ingrid28 69]

I called NVC last night, however I was told by Max that both my packages are being sent for review. Does that mean that they sent it to a supervisor? . My aos scan date is August 5 and iv is September 2.

Hey guys,

Filling out my i-864 and Im not sure whether to leave areas blank that don't apply or put "N/A". There's a lot of empty areas should i just "N/A" all to be safe??

The last thing I want is a checklist after having to wait 60 days. What do you guys think?

Please put n/a where ever you have blank fields. I got a checklist for that and now it's causing such a delay!

[R.S.K. MD 6]

! I did leave a lot of sections blank but they were irrelevant !!

Now im mentally prepared for another 2 months for the checklist review!
