You just have to keep trying over and over, its very annoying I know. Eventually the women who sounds like John Travolta in the movie Hairspray will say something along the lines of 'listen carefully as the menu has changed'

Another question.... i have a joint sponsor, so when i arrange the papers in order for the AOS packet which way should I place the documents:

1) My I-864, Joint Sponsor I-864, My tax transcripts, Joint Sponsor tax transcripts... etc

or

2) All my financial documents together, then all of the joint sponsor's financial documents together


Thanks in advance

I'm kind of concerned we don't see any NVC activity. I hope NVC folks are okay,

I hope on Friday they will surprise us with a flood of CC's and close the month of December.

I am the petitioner and had a previous marriage but i sent the divorce decree to uscis. my husband the beneficiary has no prior marriages.

any and all divorce decrees are needed, no matter who was divorced. you still need to show it again to the nvc. remember nvc only wants copies NOT originals. my understanding is uscis does not ship your entire file over to nvc, only parts of it are sent, hence why you need to re:prove.

Another question.... i have a joint sponsor, so when i arrange the papers in order for the AOS packet which way should I place the documents:

1) My I-864, Joint Sponsor I-864, My tax transcripts, Joint Sponsor tax transcripts... etc

or

Thanks in advance

i did not need a sponsor but I would think 2) is the proper way....you financial evidence then the joint sponsor. don't forget the AOS doc cover sheet must be on the front of the package. be sure this goes in front of all correspondence.

IV package is all about the beneficiary.

I'd choose number 2.

As I understand IV packet is just for beneficiary..no petitioner documents are needed.

he can scan police report and send it to you. you can print it and send it to NVC.

Also, for pictures, he can send you picture by email...you can save it in flash memory card and take it to walgreens or similar and print the passport picture...

make sure he sends high resolution picture by email.

Just spoke with NVC tonight, 64 days after they confirmed receipt of my one-item checklist...the woman was nice, cheery even, and told me the weather story but then also said to look for an email from the NVC in "the next couple of days." I asked her if this meant that we could finally have a CC. She paused and then said, "could be." "Can you tell me any more than that?" I said. "No! Sorry!" she chirped back.

[sound of more hair turning gray]

If I understand the system correctly, she was probably looking at my case on the screen and probably knew at that moment whether I was getting another checklist or CC. Does anyone have a decent guess as to which, based on the response?

Not that I'd hold anyone to their guess--I'm just going mad is all, no worries.:)

I-130 mailed: 03/10/14 (from France to Chicago Lockbox)

POE: 4/16/15 in Minneapolis. Kept my wife and our three-Y.O. waiting in a windowless room with no toilet access for over an hour, then let them through without asking any questions.
But whatever: it's over!!!!! 13 months and 3 days from original priority date.
Green card: Accompanying docs stamped 6/16, but the card did not arrive until 7/2 (approx. 11 weeks after POE).
Now it's really over. Thank you so much to all of you at VJ who helped us through this ordeal.

Hi Guys

I have my interview on March 17 at the consulate in Sydney. If approved will they give you your visa on the spot? Or is the passport sent away? If so, how long does it take?

Thanks!
