OMG our AOS fee just changed from paid to n/a, literally in the last 20 minutes. I've checked it like 100 times today. I can't believe it!!!!!!!! Our scan date was 1/30.

Checking in, month #7 @ NVC. Yippee.

Despite a scan date of 12/18 (after a one-item checklist) and a confirmation from the NVC by telephone last Tuesday that I would have news in a "a couple of days," still nothing.

I can't bear calling them again only to be told the same thing. I'll give it another week of checking for the third N/A...

Anyway, all that aside: good luck to everyone, and here's hoping for some happy March stories!

Now it's really over. Thank you so much to all of you at VJ who helped us through this ordeal.

Hey Everyone,

What are the chances that if the petitioner is not in the USA but shows all proof of Domicile the case can be rejected as the intended immigrant is residing with the petitioner at the time.

I mean they have a domicile section for a reason in I-864, to cater citizens who are residing outside the USA but I have heard from multiple people that if the immigrant is residing with the petitioner (Husband and Wife) then the visa will be rejected.

Anyone has any experience in this scenario?

Thank you and good luck peeps.

I feel with you - we´ve made a similar mistake in I864 section 5 :(

I´ll keep my fingers crossed for you that you will get CC soon!

I chose my husband(petitioner) as choice of agent. Now he is coming to visit me in India. Should I change the choice of agent and select myself by calling NVC? Is it really needed? NVC has both of our email id's. Help please.

Thank you and good luck peeps.

There are lots of petitioners that reside abroad with the foreign spouse. That in itself isn't grounds for a denial. The US petitioner simply needs to prove their US domicile. If you read the NVC wiki I wrote, I provide a long list of ideas for proof.

The DS-261 is a moot form if NVC has both your email addresses. All correspondence is sent by email if they have your email addresses. There's nothing for you to worry about.

So Day 69 - Checklist Scan date 12/23 and still no CC. I am really hoping for something this week. It's getting a bit much. I thought 70 was the max, but now someone said they saw someone not get a CC until 80 days. Cautiously optimistic. It has to be soon, but when I called they said it could be a few more weeks. :(
