I guess I would do as you suggested... send them as they become available. Just make sure you add the appropriate cover sheet every time.

Furthermore, do check the reciprocity pages as I suggested. NVC might consider PCCs unobtainable from some of the countries the beneficiary lived in if no longer living there. This means you may not be required to submit them anyway. For example, if you're living in Kuwait, NVC will require you to submit a PCC. However, if you're no longer living there, then NVC would not require you to submit the respective PCC, regardless of how long you lived there. Again, this is country specific

NVC reps wouldn't know such specific details, though a supervisor should.

Yes MoBar65- thanks for that tip. I am looking into it. I think we will TRY to get PC from Tanzania...just in case. At least get process going. But I now realize that this is a serious set-back. I wish I had read that NVC wiki more closely when we were still at USCIS (for 8 months!!!) Just assumed PC was from home country...yuck.

I have a question re DS-261.

I've noticed (but may be wrong) that once the beneficiary/applicant calls NVC to check if the DS-261 is approved/processed, they verify the info over the phone and process it same day and unlock further fees (maybe not always but many times). The one who always calls is me (I'm the US petitioner). Am wondering if any of you have noticed this trend to? Or am I just speculating or hallucinating since I really dislike NVC lol :)

:wub: God's timing is always perfect. . . :star:"Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!" (Luke 1:45) ^_^

Oooo I haven't thought of that! I wonder if I can get my husband to call and see if he can get them to open the fees up! I called up today asking about a different subject and Mario said that it should be opened *around* 15 days after the DS-261 is submitted. I love the appropriate usage of words! :sleepy:

Hello everyone,

I decided to join the group at NVC to wait for the case complete. By the chance I have a question, did anyone complete without sending PPCs and will have them on the interview day.

I received a checklist for no PCC for UAE and it has set us back up to "60" days! My error was going by what the UAE embassy website said over what the reciprocity page for UAE said. When I called, I tried to get them to let me bring it to the interview but they wouldn't have it, so it was scanned in on 15 Aug and we are still waiting for case complete. Hope this helps....
