NVC Filers - October 2014

[TargetNovember14 41]

Hello,

OMG!! i got exactly the same error in my AOS. I too had a lawyer. You don't need the lawyer again to send it by yourself. Just get the I864 copy and fill the total amount. I am assuming your husband is the ONLY sponsor. Its the same number for his income in that line..the total.. Get a copy from him, then manually write the number and scan it. and then resend the whole I-864. thats it. Sorry you are going through this.

My lawyer had left it blank too. Technically, your lawyer, you or your husband can submit. Just go to Saylin's wiki and enter the information on the email exactly like she tells you, thats it!

Also, make sure to have your case number on each page on the top right hand corner (it will be written in the checklist email). you can even have it handwritten.

If i am not clear PM me and i can tell you step by step. By the way what part of canada are you in?

Hey all,

I need advice! My i-130 was approved in March 12 2014. By the time we got our case number from NVC, paid the fees and what not came June and we submitted supporting docs Long with AOS. We hired a lawyer. The lawyer screwed us over and we got checklisted in Aug for AOS. Then we resent the AOS with corrections. Our scan date was Auf 27. On Oct 23 i got checklist again! The lawyers paralegal left part 6 item 10 blank!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo furious! I called NVC and so did my hubby, the rep told us it was a silly mistake and while correcting previous checklist item 13 a mistake was made. She asked us if we wanted to take the lawyer off the case bc of the mistake; she was shocked. Anyways, since Oct 23 my husband and I are trying to fix things and the lawyer is not cooperating. He is refusing to meet up with my hubby in NY to talk and look over the AOS. He has been ignoring all phone calls and emails. What should we do? Take him off the case and get another lawyer or just submit the corrected AOS ourselves????? My IV documents were approved the last time in Aug, my hubby AOS was approved last week, only my joint sponsor (MIL) corrected AOS needs to be mailed. I am sooo stressed right now and my poor hubby is struggling too

Please someone help me

should I wait for IV bill to be invoice and make the payment before sending of both packages?

This is the new NVC process, as outlined in the NVC Welcome Letter (with my comments in brackets after):

Step 1: Choose an agent (this is form DS-261)

Step 2: Pay fees (I interpret this to mean both fees - AOS and IV)

Step 3: Submit visa application form (this is form DS-260, which apparently becomes available after the IV fee is marked as PAID)

Step 4: Collect financial documents (this is the AOS/I-864 packet)

Step 5: Collect supporting documents (this is the IV packet)

Step 6: Submit documents to the NVC

Because this is a new process, there hasn't yet been anyone reporting on their experience with how it all went. It's possible that you could gamble on sending your packages before the IV bill is invoiced, and hope that it gets invoiced before they scan your documents. Until someone tries it out, we don't know whether that's a viable option or not. Personally, I will be following the order strictly as outlined in the welcome letter.

Sorry that was foolish of me. I didn't read through all your message. You have a joint sponsor, i am sorry. You still write their number what is their income on that line same as in your husbands AOS.

I don't know if it helps taking the lawyer of the case. i was tempted to but didn't. i think there is a while procedure to do that. I do know however, that the beneficiary, petitioner or the lawyer can send the documents. it doesn't matter. I know someone here, about a month ago, had a checklist -- fired their lawyer and did the paperwork themselves but never removed the name and submitted all the necessary documents. They go a case complete. I am pretty sure they must be on the sepember NVC thread.

I had an AOS scan date of August 21 and on October 24 I got a checklist, so I am assuming they are really taking 60 days to review documents. =\

I bet they reviewed your IV documents along with your AOS which is why it was more than 60 days.

No lawyer! I surprised myself too. It was less complicated for me because i didn't use any joint sponsors.

Does the NVC send confirmation when information is scanned in? Is this in addition to the letter that they have received your files?

Yes they will most probably send you a 60

Day letter thru email. You should call so they can process the d260. Which that can take up to 15 days.

Case completed 10/28!! Last scan date 9/17. No checklists!

Congrats!!!! I am so excited for you. Almost done
