NVC Filers - October 2014

[Rzf 1]

I am trying to get ready for AOS docs, I checked online that I can print tax transcript right away(online), can I just print it out and send it to NVC or do I have to order it in mail and then send to NVC? I just wanted to make sure that I am not making any mistake. Thanks for you help

Well, I printed it right off online and sent them in. When you request them online, it'll ask you the purpose, and of course you'll say immigration. But let's see what other people have to say.

Has anybody got any of the packages approved lately OR Is NVC reviewing both packages with the later scan date ..for eg if your 1 package has scan date in aug and 2 package scan date sep ...both the packages will be reviewed in september? Please share your experiences..

For regular mail they review by the last scan date in most cases. In electronic processing they review by the earliest scan date. I saw few exceptions tho...

My husband ordered his online and sent them to NVC. Our AOS was approved without checklist.

Called NVC today... seems to be a slow day as I got through on the second try and only had to wait 20 minutes. Todd answered and sounded tired or bored. Our AOS packet was scanned August 4 and IV August 20. No update for us , but as I said, might be a good day to call!He

Hello

I spoke to NVC today and yesterday and was told both times that starting yesterday nothing would be reviewed until 60 days from your most recent scan date.

Yes, I spoke with an operator yesterday and today and both said that if more than one piece of mail waiting to be reviewed all would be reviewed on the most recent scan date. I also requested a supervisor to call me and I will confirm again when he/she does. My Iv scan is 8/8 and Aos checklist correction on 8/15 and on doc on 9/9. I was told nothing will be reviewed until 9/9. this could really prolong things for us if we were to get a checklist on our IV.

Hi all im just confused so i want to ask whats the next step after we got our case number? Can we pay our AOS now or wait for nvc instruction before we pay? Some said we need the Invoice ID before we can proceed... Thanks in advance.. your answer will be much appreciated.

If you already have your case #, call again and ask for your Invoice Identification Number (IIN). Once you have those two, you can log into the CEAC website and if AOS and DS-261 are available, you can fill out DS-261 and pay AOS fee.

You will also receive a Welcome email from NVC.

My husband ordered his online and sent them to NVC. Our AOS was approved without checklist.

When you say he ordered his online, do you mean he printed them off the IRS online website or he placed an order for copies to be mailed to him?

Thanks now its all clear to me... btw we dont have a welcome letter yet coz my husband just called the nvc today for our case number which the operator just gave it to him... we didnt know that we also need to ask for that invoice ID.. guess ill tell my husband to call again.

Thanks so much.

It seems like nvc had a reasonably productive week this week. I hope it keeps up.

I finished the ds-260 this afternoon. I'm so glad that I figured out all my old addresses beforehand, that was a nightmare. I'm bummed that i spent a while figuring out my employment dates and they didn't even ask me that. Oh well.

Last scan date was 9/12, got a month or so to go, hoping for no checklists but expecting one. Our joint sponsor's main income is from non-taxable military benefits. He's way over the poverty line, but it doesn't show on his taxes. We sent copies of all his awards, but I expect a checklist since it's different than "normal".

Your welcome, happy to help Make sure you read Saylin's WiKi on the NVC process (first post of this thread). Has great info but you need to read it a few times to capture all of the great info on there.

I received my case # and IIN on 9/17 & filled out the DS-261 on 9/18. NVC told me that I needed to wait up to 20 business days from 9/18 to receive my welcome email and for my AOS fee to be unlocked. Just fyi in case you don't get it right away. Hopefully, they speed up and we can get our AOS unlocked asap!

As far as IIN goes, you need that and case # for everything on CEAC website so make sure you get it and writ it down somewhere safe. Best of luck!

it does not matter, tax transcript printed online or received through the mail contain the same information that is required by NVC and is accepted by NVC.

That's great, thank you! I printed mine already and would hate to have to place an order to receive copies by mail. We know how slow the government works! Lol
