NVC Filers-March 2016

[LinJoe 117]

See, I am not the only one suggesting you to call asking for review.

I called and asked for a supervisor. She said they shouldn't have check listed me for the Nigeria and Liberia PCC. She said she can't update my file based on our conversation but will have them review my case again for the India PCC and the BC. I explained to her again that if they are looking for something that says Birth Certificate they won't find it, but as per the DOS website in lieu of a BC we provided the sworn notarized birth affidavit from his mom, a notarized affidavit of birth not registered, and baptism certificate. I asked her if I should go ahead and submit the forms again just in case they come back and say they don't see it and her response was "it's up to you." She said she will get put in the request today for them to review my case again. I went ahead and FedEx everything over night as back up.

I can't believe that when I provide everything exactly like they asked I still get check listed. I'm praying I don't have to wait another 30 days!

I hope they resolve your case in a positive way.

Hang on tight.

I hope so too! On the positive side, they generated the checklist yesterday, 3/16, which means they were reviewing my case 29 days from when they received it, 2/16. So that's good news for those still waiting or those that just submitted their packages. it's not taking a full 30-45 days to review anymore. If it weren't for this STUPID checklist, I would've gotten a cc yesterday!

This is unorthodox, but if I was you, I will call and request to talk to a supervisor and explain to him/her what you told us. Basically is a supervisor review.

Some of these contract employees do not have enough training and make mistakes.

Emphasize that everything the checklist requires is already there.

I have seen various frivolous Checklists, like requesting W2 for transcripts.

Give them a call and try my suggestion.

Good luck.

I am in absolute agreement that you make that call. Request be straight and comprehensive to the agent and afterwards request a supervisor. Our case and your is of no difference and we were able to pull it through just because we were convincingly insisting on all that we had sent.

[Deji 21]

I hope they resolve your case in a positive way.

Hang on tight.

I am convinced you will get your CC tomorrow.

Hello VJ Family,

LinJoe I feel your pain. I received a checklist too for my husband's birth certificate yesterday in which it was included. In his country (Pakistan) they receive what's called a NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority) which registers the birth for not only him but all siblings between his parents. Like you, I created two separate folders (one for Petitioner Information and the other for Beneficiary Information. I tabbed it Red for me and Blue for him. On each document I put our case number. I also include 13 1/2 check stubs which included 2016 (over a years worth instead of the suggested 6 months). I gave them a cover sheet which I included in both folders letting them know what all was included and for whom (petitioner & beneficiary). I also realized I made a mistake on by I-864EZ and didn't check a box. I called them and mailed it immediately first class mail. First scan date was like yours 02/16/2015 and the second scan date 02/19/2016. Now here I'm thinking I would get a checklist for missing the checked box and low and behold they reviewed our case exactly 30 days from the first scan date and it is for beneficiary's birth certificate. I called and requested a supervisor review because I know the NADRA was included. I believe since they scan information and it probably scanned more than one document at a time which appeared that the NADRA wasn't submitted. I scan information at work all the time and sometimes the machines pull more than one document through if not set up correctly which means the worker at NVC wasn't paying attention. Now they have to personally pull our file and review. I have since mailed again First class with a return receipt at the post office which they will receive by Monday and I will have the name of the individual who signed. Hang in there and the end is almost near. Stay Optimistic even though the journey is long and tough!!!!

What's the best way to find out if your case is complete, check for 3 n/a's or call?

When you see the 3 NA's call to verify.

From your mouth to God's ears I hope you're right! I was devastated when I heard the words checklist. then when they told me the list of items I was growing more and more upset. I stayed calm with them over the phone explaining that I sent everything they are asking for. I don't know if the supervisor will put in that request today like she said to have my case reviewed again, but I'm praying she does. I can't go another 30 days of this torture!

oh man! i'm sorry you got check listed too! that sucks. I wish they were most detail oriented over there. I can understand getting check list of something you didn't send it, but for something you know was sent in for a fact....that's what gets me livid, and i'm not a person that gets upset very easily.

Trust me I was livid then I spoke with my spouse (the calm one) and realized I could elect to be mad and nothing is solved. Therefore, I pulled it together and told my job I had to work from home today to handle business. I called them 6 more times (just to make sure their failure was consistent) and I took action and ensured our case was with a supervisor and I informed them that I will be checking daily since they can conveniently tell me it may take another 30-42 days. I suppose I will know all there names by the time my case is closed.

Ya, I called a couple of different times to see if I would get a different answer as well. Each time I said the same thing about my "missing" documents. i'm really hoping supervisor Anna has them review my case again. I thought she would be the one to review it, but it didn't seem like that from the way she phrased it.

[Mrs in Tennessee 8]

That's good you escalated to a supervisor. I would also send everything they said they needed again (I know it is a pain). The worst case is they get it twice. At least they would definitely have it and you are not waiting for them to still need it.
