THIS IS ODD,

today i called nvc to have an update and after taking for a while to a really nice lady this came up.

1) they only have a scanned date (8/31/2015) for my wife not for my daughter, the reason i send all paperwork together wife & daughter same envelope , solution send a new package for my daughter. (they are treat as individual cases)

2) I must not mention my daughter on my wife's i864. ( already send it so i CAN NOT FIX IT ) because they are treat as individual cases.

3) because my wife lived in different countries other than Colombia she will need police clearance from them. (i already knew ) we just waiting for them, hopefully we can show them at the interview so we i don't have to send them to NVC and wait for them to review it.

It seems like a long way to go before all this is over...

people please double and triple check everything if you are not sure call NVC for instructions.

@jayisis -

The notice of intent to deny basically said it is requesting for us to send in a bunch of additional documents (original marriage cert, Evidence of Citizenship etc.) giving me 30 days to send them the documents, otherwise they will deny the I129f which my lawyer says shouldnt matter anymore since my I130 is already approved but I am still not exactly sure if that is right. the AOS/IV package is the one they havent received yet, atleast i havent gotten an email for it yet and have not tried calling NVC today. And Yes really hoping it doesnt effect anything else going forward...

I got an RFE for i129f after my i130 was approved and sent to NVC, and I made sure I responded to the i129f RFE and then it was also approved. You have an option to write a signed letter to the service center asking to close or cancel the i129f case if you do not wish to proceed with it. That case would not be related to what is going on with your immigrant case at NVC.

When did the postal service deliver your AOS/IV package ?

Yeah i think my lawyer will be writing up a letter tomorrow to request them to close the i129F, i gave him a copy of the i130 approval for him to send with it. My lawyer said that he sent it in on the 25th, i just got off the phone with NVC and they confirmed they havent received it yet/ haven't added it to the case yet. They told me to wait a few more days.

Hi,

I'm sorry you went through that. I was also in doubt... we need to treat them as separate cases and send duplicate documents indeed.

Do you think they'll issue you a checklist? Or are you sending everything immediately?

The good news is that after your wife's case is CC, you'll have better leverage to ask them to look at your daughter's. In my case, my impression is that only reviewing my documents was enough - after I got my CC, the only thing pending on my daugther's case was the DS-260 review. It took us a few attempts, but we eventually reached a supervisor and they released her case in a couple of minutes.

The IV fee was marked as paid while I was sleeping so I started filling out the IV form this morning before work! Can't wait to get home and continue and get that submitted!!

Hi all,

I managed to get the CC yesterday for my daughter too. We called three times and practically begged to speak to a supervisor. My daughter's documents were already reviewed, all they needed to do was to review her DS-260, and it took them only a couple of minutes.

Thank you for everybody here who has been so nice and given me loads of support.

To be honest, I felt kind of ashamed to get a CC so early. I was expecting it some 10 days from now. But I have a theory about what happened: NVC made a mistake on my first name - on August 19, I sent them an email asking them to fix it. They never replied. My husband got a letter from them dated last Thursday (September 3) stating that they updated my address/email - I am assuming this is their way of saying they fixed my name.

So I assume that when they corrected my name, they took a look at my documents and DS-260, and that's how I got CC so early. Who would have thought that a mistake from their part might have made me so lucky.

Anyway, now I am rooting for all of you to get your CCs too. Thank you for everything - this forum has helped me tremendously

We are still waiting on our petition approval. We got transferred to CSC from VSC. Just got the transfer letter in the mail on Saturday. I tried to do an inquiry, but have to wait an additional 5 - 6 months before I can do that at least online. Not quite sure if my case has physcially arrived at CSC yet.

Glad to see that everyone is moving quite quickly through the NVC process. God Bless!

Just an update: We got our NOA2 approval last night around 10:00 PM from CSC. I am so happy, I hope we can finish this all by Christmas, but just thanking God that we are moving forward.
