NVC Filers-April 2016

[Sho_Cin 0]

This is my first post even though I have been reading through the forums for a while now. I had a scan date of March 18th and yesterday I got my 3 n/a's with a confirmed case complete though calling NVC . I know a lot of you are patiently waiting for the good news as well and this forum has helped me so much throughout my process so I just thought I'd pay it forward Congrats to all who have gotten a case complete thus far, especially to Argo whom I share an almost identical timeline with (including the date of our marriage lol). Please add me to your spreadsheet dwheels76, and best of luck to everyone still waiting, I know your CC is coming soon!!

Just got my NOA2 yesterday so I may or may not be an April NVC filer. So happy I found this forum!

Welcome to the group. Doesn't matter if April or May. Once you get NOA2 you have found the right place.

I was debating whether to put my issue up because there are so many people celebrating and I don't want to be a downer. However, I guess it's a learning opportunity of some kind of anyone else that might have to go through this.

They keep asking for Liberia and Nigeria PCC's.

My husband only lived in Nigeria for 6 months so a PCC isn't needed as per the DOS website.

Yes, husband lived in Liberia for several years, however being a non National and a non Resident, trying to obtain one is pretty much a dead end. Even the DOS' Reciprocity Schedule says "Applicants not resident in Liberia can request that their biographic information and fingerprints be sent to the Liberia National Police via the police headquarters of their home country, however, in practice, these requests are rarely completed."

After the first checklist, I called and spoke with a Supervisor and she agreed to both points and said I should not have been checklisted for either of those and would put a note in the system stating that. However, looks like she didn't because the agents I spoke with didn't see it in there. even when I tell them she would have entered it on March 17th if not the 18th. All they see is she sent it back to the Document Review department. that Supervisor also said for me to send a letter stating Liberia was unobtainable as my husband currently resides in India and to include what the DOS website says. I did exactly that for both Nigeria and Liberia. I included screen shots with reference to their website that clearly shows Previous Country of Residence is at least 1 year for Nigeria and then what I quoted above for Liberia.

It's a mess. the second girl I spoke with yesterday, Fay, said there seems to be a lot of loose ends because the system only showed my documents were pending review yet a checklist was issued. I asked if I could speak with a supervisor and she was kind of ugly about it saying, "what are you going to ask the supervisor that I haven't already discussed with you?" so I was a little bit stern myself and said, "I want to ask her why i'm being checklisted again on documents that shouldn't have been even when I follow a Supervisor's instructions on how to get this resolved." so that's when she put me on hold for almost 10 minutes. she SAID (i'm hoping I should believe her) she went and sat with a supervisor and explained my situation (I don't know why she didn't let me talk with her directly and explain myself) and the supervisor pulled up my DS-260 and said she agreed on Nigeria but the application shows he lived in Liberia for several years and that's why it was asked for. I explained again that Liberia is unobtainable and I sent a letter stating that with reference to their Reciprocity schedule back with the original package in February and again last month! By the end of the conversation, Fay was feeling sorry for me and said she would take down my case number and check to make sure a supervisor was reviewing my case file. Again, not sure if I should believe that or not. She said she can't do anything because she can't see my documents and only a supervisor can close out the case and she needs my file physically in front of her to do that. That's when I asked her about the documents being scanned. She said only the cover sheet with the bar code gets scanned to notify the system that more documents have been received. they don't actually scan all the documents into the system.

I would think a supervisor would know what's on their own website and their own rules!

All I can do is wait and pray that the supervisor actually looks at my case quickly.

Long winded/all over the place answer, but there it is. back to square one, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Is scary that NVC doesn't know what to do or how to act. Goodness. Well thank you for such a through explanation. I get it why can't they get it.

You guys I need help. For the year 2015 I only made $2,846.66. Do I still have to file my taxes in order to complete my I-864? I live in California and I believe I did not make the amount necessary to file taxes but someone told me I had to still. Can someone please clarify this for me? Thank you!!!!

I would suggest doing it regardless, it helps not having to explain why you didn't file taxes that year, you never know what else you might need it for later in life.

Yay that we could log in and pay AOS fees the other day!
For those of you who have done it, how long did it take for the IV fee to be invoiced/show up as available to pay?

U can pay it same time! I didn't know because my wife paid the AOS last night and someone told me I could pay so she paid it tonight.

Hmm...yeah when we went to pay the AOS the other night, they both seemed 'available'....but now, it says 'not invoiced' - do I need to do something special?

I didn't do anything special..just paid both and they are both in process.

Call NVC and request them to review your DS-261 (Choice of Agent) over the phone with you. Once they do, it will unlock the IV Fee within 24 hours.
