Hi,

Yes, your husband can fill out the form for you... he just has to have all the information it is asking, he will need all of your personal information including DOB and Addresses of your parents. Go to the website http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Submit_Visa_Application.html and download the sample form, and go over all the questions it is asking and provide your husband with the information. :)

Thanks MsJC !

Hi all,

So I have good and bad news.

Good news is that I checked CEAC's website and I had 3 NAs. I called NVC and they confirmed I have a CC. Only 10 days after scan date, I can't possibly believe it!

The bad news is that my daughter's case hasn't changed. They said that our cases won't be sent to the embassy until her case is approved too. And there is nothing I can do but wait.

So, in the end, my CC does not matter... at all. I'm waiting for hers.

Welcome to the club :sleepy:

Wow, yours has been a while, too. Should be very soon then!

I've called twice, because there are those lucky few people who get their case number in like 8-10 days, so it's worth checking, right? but the lady always says "Do you have the letter in front of you? what does the second paragraph say?" as though I didn't bother reading it... "Yes ma'am, I'm aware of that, but sometimes it happens faster than that, so I just wanted to check whether you have received it yet."

I was hoping I could get something done before the long weekend, but I guess not.

So strange they didn't put your wife with daughter. Is your daughter a minor?

But wow, thats great for you in only 10 days!

Hi everyone,

I got 3 N/As on my summary page under the AOS fee. Is that a CC or just an error? Don't wanna get excited over false alarm lol

I think that means CC! :) I would call just to double-check...it'd definitely be worth the 20-ish minute wait to find out, especially considering we are going into a holiday weekend and the office will be closed on Monday.

Congrats to you!

Hi. I applied together with my daughter, but in order to follow USCIS rules, we had to send separate forms.

For the NVC, because I had a police report missing, I actually sent her documents through email one day before mine.

Everything about her case took longer than mine. Her case was locked for 10 days at DS-261, we only got it fixed through a supervisor. She's eight, so I can't really understand why everything about her case is hard, while mine in reality is a lot more complicated (I am divorced, have lived in many different places so I had to send several police reports...).

It simply makes no sense.

Congratulations. You beat me lol. None for us here. You got the 17 day review.

Hoping for CC soon too.

Had you called the NVC from when you sent your documents in? Trying to see if they slow it down if one calls too much during the document review phase.

Shams,

Don't worry about that, I called the NVC so much that if they were punishing people who called too much, I would probably get my CC by December...

Thank you! You will get your CC soon!

My husband did call NVC 3 times. First to ask if NVC has received the package or not, second was after DS-260 was submitted, and last one was about the 'full time employee' as job title on I-864ez.

But maybe more. I can only remember those three calls.
