NVC Filers - November 2014

[Abby&Mario 100]

Could you please tell me how you applied for embassy change? I am trying to change the embassy as well since my wife has completed her studies in France and is moving back to her home country. Thanks for your feedback!

Sure! First of all, I would suggest calling NVC to get specific advice for your case, to be on the safe side. But I'll tell you what we did for the second embassy change, when my husband was returning to his country of birth (Colombia).

We sent an e-mail to nvcinquiry (now asknvc I think) and explained that we needed to change the embassy process back to Colombia. I very briefly stated that his work contract was ending in Argentina and had we known the NVC stage would last so long, we would not have changed to Argentina in the first place. I attached a copy of his work contract and an e-mail from his boss saying that it was ending early (it did). The contract was in English, but the e-mail was in Spanish so I included a translation and a signed certification of the translation, just in case. I also included the plane ticket itinerary his agency gave him for his flight back to Colombia. I did not include evidence of his Colombian citizenship, because we were far enough along in the process that I knew they knew he was Colombian. Plus, we started out with the Bogotá embassy.

This evidence was considered sufficient and the change was approved. Don't expect an e-mail telling you it's approved, though. You have to log on and look. However, they will e-mail you back once they get to your e-mail and tell you that your request is under review. There are more details about both changes in my signature. I will add that I was told on the phone that it needs to be done before reaching case complete. It takes a while, so depending on where you are in your case you might mention on the phone any concerns you have about that. Oh yeah, once it's approved you get a new case number, but can still log in with the old one so don't worry about being locked out or anything like that.

Good luck! This is one area where NVC is pretty reasonable, at least in my experience, so don't worry too much.

Hi Jackie521,

I think by now you should have a date. I've read that it takes about a week to send to embassy and NVC schedules that's what I've read. Have you try calling and press option 3 were its for case close ready for embassy. Give it a try.

Morning everyone,

I found out that my joint sponsor made a mistake on her I-864 form and I was wondering if I should send my I864 along with the corrected joint sponsor's form just to be on the safe side. What are people's thoughts on it? Should I just send the AOS form for the joint sponsor or should I send mine again as well.. I appreciate your help. Please advice since I'm thinking of sending it in today.

AOS scan date 9/12 and IV Oct 23rd

I hope I get it soon, I am going to try that. listen I am sure you know how this is. This is hard we have to thank God we lasted thru everything and my husband is good to me. But, the distance is bad. I wish and pray to God he is here for Christmas.

Thanks

Congrats!!!!! I wonder if they went by your aos scan date of 8/17 cause Nvc still working on Sept scan dates...

[Perez2012 15]

Jackie521,

I truely understand. God willing that will be your Christmas gift. I'm praying we get approve next week and hopefully make a Dec interview as well. I haven't travel there seem ending of July waiting on this cc. Keep us posted

I think because maybe I was one of the last to send the AOS and IV separately I was in a different group. If I could have sent both packages at the same time in August I would have definitely had a CC by now.
