[Ahmed&Freda 628]

I still get confused on the scan date..lol 

 

So I just got off the phone with NVC to confirm received date of my packet 9/14.  I asked "so is this the scan date" operator says "maam I don't know what you mean by scan date...we received 9/14"  I said "Ok any other information you can give at this time?" her answer "no, you need to give us 11 weeks to review".    

 

So would I consider 9/14 my scan date?

Hi please how long did it take for you to receive your welcome letter from NVC. My paper work was sent to the DOS on September 19th. Also I have see. In some cases that people called to get their case number instead of waiting? Is that really possible ?

It takes a few weeks.  You can call every few days to get the case and invoice number.  That will help move things along faster.

You can call to get it about 5 days after they receive it.

 

The welcome letter is a tricky situation, in most cases they tell you to wait for it, I filled out the DS261 before I received it and after a few days was able to get someone to review it.

Thanks and oh okay nice. So you were able to get someone to review it sooner ? If that's what u meant how did u do that?

How did you guys organize your docs? and what did you send?

Curious cause I'm putting my packages together tomorrow to ship

 

I decided to translate the police report and birth certificate to be on the safe side, my wife did it.

The birth certificate is legal paper size so I'll have to figure out getting a copy of that.

 

I think I'm just going to send the tax transcripts I have and then order new ones.

Yea..NVC doesn't use the term "scan date" that is just a term used here. They call it the receive date. But whenever they received it is your "scan date"

I used the info from the wiki included in the first post of this thread.  I attached cover letters and cover page printed from NVC in front of each packet.  Before sending I scanned both packets and emailed them to myself and the beneficiary.

Hi,

 

You should organize follow check list order.

 

Yes you should translate these now per new check list, NVC now required translate. I did it my self for safe anyway.

Ah. That explains why i still need to send them my docs. That kinda stinks, however for Mexico it's a two month wait to get an interview so hopefully it'll speed that up. I'll try calling them the week after and see if they cam give me any details on the interview part.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Yeah, it kind of feels like a half-assed effort on the part of the embassy. But it's better than nothing.

I updated that wiki btw as passport photos aren't needed till the interview stage.
