NVC Filers - December 2014

To be as up to date as possible. Things can happen much quicker than the average time frames.

But the frequency of calling is up to each person. Some people like calling daily (that was me), others prefer calling once a week or less, and some don't call at all. It's up to each person and how they want to handle their case

ohh I see.. i only called them twice since USCIS and i was on hold over 30 min these two times i just would go crazy doing that everyday!! lol but yea i see your point!!

Well, back when I was in NVC, you'd get through right away (no re-dialing necessary), and depending on what time of the day you called, it can take as little as 5 minutes. I'd call at 5pm ET (when most people get off work and are busy commuting home) and I'd usually get an operator within 5-10 minutes. The longest I ever waited was probably 20 minutes or so. So, calling back then was much easier/faster. Although, even with current time frames, I'd still probably call once a day. I always used my computer to call NVC, so I just did other stuff on my computer while waiting. I liked staying as up to date as possible on my case

How I've interpreted the I-864EZ requirements is that to be eligible to use the form, the petitioner has to be the sole sponsor. So, if there will be a joint sponsor, then both have to fill out the I-864.

My case was complete on 12/15/2014. What does this mean? Why are they sending me this now?

That's the case complete email. It typically takes around 7 days to receive, so right on the dot for you.
