Case Complete to Interview December 2016

[lkh 1]

Wow sorry about your delay. Just get an additional sponsor asap. I wonder how did the know about your great aunt-did she file for someone?

probably from the call log. Can I just wait until tax time and submit my most recent tax form rather than get a joint sponsor? I thought if my current income is enough and has been consistent for over a year the last few years of my taxes are not a problem?

They are saying I need a joint sponsor and need to come in person, because they asked about my dead great aunt's name and he didn't know it. Mind me there are 8 relatives that passed back to back and I never told him names just said my aunt passed, and my cousin passed.

We're on AP.

You can ask the embassy if you can wait until you file your taxes. Current income is good, but continous income is what they prefer seeing.

Go my wife's passport back today and her visa packet has a tear. Just when we thought we were done! ?

I'm stunned...never thought of how easily such a thing could happen. Good luck

Awww, sorry to hear this news as I was rooting for you. I was wondering the same about the dead aunt? What made them ask about that? I don't know much about sponsors but I hope you can take care of that and continue the process quickly. Stay the course!

Never mind, I see where you say from the call logs. Hope everything works out for you soon.

Congratulations! If i remember it right did the biological father actually needed to attend the interview?

Thanks!

No, the embassy staff was giving my wife the wrong information. They answered all of her questions as if they were about the tourist visa process.

Then at the interview they asked No questions about the kids or their father or them leaving the country. everything went smoothly.

I have been following this thread for awhile now and it's very informative. I have a question. I receive my interview letter dated October 28th with my interview date however it's still showing at "NVC." How long NVC takes to send your case to the embassy and when will it turn from "AT NVC" to " IN TRANSIT?"

When is your interview? If your interview is some months away then they won't send it yet.

[JJmommy 1]

It's December 15th, just a few weeks away

Ok perfect thanks

​I'm repeating this from the Nov NVC filers thread. Hope someone can enlighten me here. Is a checklist the same as an RFE? I received a checklist stating that the I do not qualify for the I-864EZ, even though I am 100% certain I do. Checklist asked me to send an I-864, which I did this morning. My Scan date was Nov. 7 and I did electronic processing. It really caught me by surprise that I received a checklist so soon.

[JFH 12,191]

Checklist is the NVC version of the USCIS RFE - basically something is missing or incomplete.

Electronic processing is much faster because it's a different team so a checklist this early is not unusual for EP.

For I-864EZ you must be:

- not using a joint sponsor

- using wages or pension only and it must be demonstrated on a W-2 (no assets allowed to be counted)

- sponsoring only one immigrant (so just your wife, no kids)

if you're sure you meet those, call NVC because it could be a mistake.

Pension is on 1099R. It is never on W-2 and not needed when providing transcripts.

I don't care to fight with NVC and already emailed NVC an I-864. I hope you are correct that electronic processing is faster.

It needn't be a fight. They are all human and as such it's possible that one of the them has made a mistake.

But if you have an I-864 already then that's the matter resolved.

For electronic processing time scales you can check on dwheels76 spreadsheet or look through some timelines of VJers at the same consulate to see the averages. Here's a recent one: submitted docs to NVC at the end of September and got case complete on October 1:

Thanks JFH, I will check the spreadsheet. The link you provided to the profile was an expedite. I was tracking that profile.
