February Support and Rant 2015

I'm on the verge of tears right now....I just spoke with them on the phone and they said the signature doesn't look like an original bc they think it might be a copy. But it's 100% an original!!! I mailed everything overnight! I don't know what to do...they said they'd put it in supervisory review....but man oh man....another 60 days?? for something that isn't even true! they said the documents are complete otherwise! This isn't fair! I did everything right!!

So sorry. That's not fair. Did you use black ink or blue ink to sign?

I used black. I talked to the NVC guy--i actually got a nice one for once--and he said that they would accept the form in either black or blue ink--but the issue wasn't the color, it's that they thought it was a copy, which it's not. They sent it to supervisor review, which could take up to 40 days. In the meantime he said I could submit a new AOS so that we don't have to start 60 days again if the supervisor doesnt rule in our favor. He also said we don't have to include the 2014 tax year yet, we could include up to 2013 bc 2014 isn't due until April so 2013 is still valid. He also said that this new affidavit wouldnt affect the old one at all, meaning if the supervisor agrees with us they'll move the case to cc and disregard this new affidavit. but if he doens't agree with us, at least we'll have a head start on the 60 days bc we weren't waiting for the supervisor. He also said we could use the old barcode cover sheet they sent us. So i'm overnighting everything again today because I saved the template and tax docs. All i have to do is sign and send.

I'm so sorry!!!!!! That is bogus. Hope the supervisor resolves it ASAP and the new AOS was just a precaution for good measure! Prayers with you.

Hoping the weather remains under control and NVC has a productive week with CC's ! I tried to tell myself I would stay off this forum for awhile (I'm only at day 12) but it seems to bring me joy and hope to see others moving through, knowing one day that'll be our victory as well. Everyone keep your head up.....we WILL get through this!!

Thank you!! I need all the prayers I can get at this point...can't believe i was already looking at planning a reception with friends and family bc i thought it all be done soon....i feel like such an idiot.. :/

You shouldn't feel that way AT all....he said your case was complete except for that signature and surely a supervisor will be able to confirm it was original. You had everything in order and unfortunately this is one of those times unfair things that happen when you jump through the NVC's hoops. You did everything in your control to ensure it moved on, I just struggle with how many variables we cannot control in this process.

You will soon be over with NVC. Hope the supervisor review gets completed quickly. Best of luck.

Continue planning. It is good to focus on the finish line! I know it is difficult to be positive right now. I myself feel like ####### due to this wait, and reading your story made me feel worse! We must remain positive and keep goinG!

Thanks everyone! The silver lining was that I talked to a really nice guy at the NVC, I actually got him twice. The 2nd time i called an hour later and i lied a little hoping i wouldnt sound too desperate by saying that I called an hour before, so i said i called them 2 days ago and got something about signatures, and the rep was like "yaaa that was me and that was today like an hour ago"...ooops. smh. Then I went through the whole speech again and he reminded me that he put it in supervisory review. i thanked him and said that a lot of ppl probably do that so it's likely going to be a long wait regardless, but he said they only refer cases for supervisory review if they believe the person is being honest....so yeah...i dunno...definitely grabbing a pint of mint chocolate chip tonight.

The US embassy in ankara schedules interviews for the following month the first 2 weeks of every month, so theres no hope of an interview by the end of march...at this rate it'll be summer or fall...

Pity party at my house tonight! I'll bring the xbox, ya'll bring the food!

I have called NVC same "60 day" story. Today is DAY 58 for me. No choice but to wait.

[Frips 166]

no wonder that NVC is backloged if they're sending cheklists for things like that.....

They just want to hold back the cases as long as they can.

My joint sponsor is self emloyed. In the current annual individual income what should we enter? I have seen in VJ forums that the amount from the latest year's tax returns. But he has not filed 2014 taxes yet. So, can we enter the actual income from 2014 and provide a CPA statement with that as a proof?

Feeling so nervous. :(

Hang in there!! I can imagine these last few days just feel like eternity. Prayers for wonderful exciting news in the next couple days. The silver lining is that they haven't started scheduling next month's interviews yet so hopefully you get CC then quickly followed by interview date
