NVC Filers - January 2018

[meemee1 34]

I called NVC the other day and they stated my scan date was 12/22 but they asked me if we had submitted the DS260 I told them yes but am a little worried cuz this is the second time I have called and they asked me about DS 260 which we did online on 12/10.

Same here! Woke up to an email from NVC that we have been scheduled for Feb 22!

Congratulations when was you case complete?

To anyone worried about their DS260, DEF call and make sure that it is attached to your mailed documents. It is awful to get an officer that says, "its within the 11 weeks timeframe!" Yesterday's officer was the one that caught my issue and sent it to supervisor review. Today's officer was not at all helpful. My case is still in queue for Supervisor review because my case was not attached to my DS 260  (which was completed on Dec 5th).  I am planning on calling everyday from here on because it is annoying how their system can screw some of us. Good Luck to everyone. As for my case, I feel like we will prob be seeing a CC right at the 11 weeeks, I have just lost hope in this system. Thankfully, I will be seeing my husband in Feb and March for vacation. So it is what it is.

 

Congrats to all those cc!

I called 10 minutes ago, and the agent on the phone confirmed that my DS-260 is attached to my file that is currently under review. Scan date 12/28/17.

Can you even print the DS260 once you fill it out? I thought you only get a confirmation that you filled it out.

Not literally "attached by paper." In the NVC system, our mailed docs should have been filed along with our online DS260. So that when an officer is reviewing the mailed docs, they are aware that the DS260 was filled online.  Unfortunately, it seems sloppy officers only pull the mailed docs when received but do not "add" that the DS260 was already filed online.  Therefore, the system generates the emails requesting the DS260 be filled online (not a computer glitch, just that our cases are really not synced with our DS260s- so we receive email reminders).  It takes a supervisor review to add the DS260 to our submitted docs.    And as you can guess, this will not be done in one day. So I'm sure the unlucky ones that are caught up in this will have to continue to wait.

congrats to those approved! 

 

to all at NVC, please call and make sure your DS-260 is actually “attached” to your mailed docs. I received an email last week saying that i was missing my DS260. When I completed it on Dec 5th! I called and they told me it was a glitch. Today I call and guess what?! This nice officer tells me that he has to add my DS260 to this spreadsheet to state it is ready to be reviewed!! had I not called, my DS260 would still be showing as not completed😢We must continue to be proactive. It sucks, because I would have already been CC this week. 

 

This officer said that my case will now go to a supervisor. But it can take up to 11weeks! He did say my initial scan date is still valid 12/13/2017. But it just sucks, I thought I’d have a CC by now! 

 

Hello thanks for the advice. In regards to the DS-260, is it the confirmation page or entire application? Thank you.

So i received invoice for IV fee Monday night. I paid on Tuesday morning and it showed as "in process". Tuesday night i again received an email for IV fee. I checked Wednesday morning and IV was showing as pending (normal for a transaction) in my bank account. But when i logged into nvc system it showed as "pay now". I dont want to pay again when is showing as pending. I called nvc and they say give it a week. Anyone cane across this issue?  Thanks

Hey,I received the case number and Invoice number, and I was able to get to DS-261 and filled out the form for choice of agent.  I do not see an option to be able to pay AOS fee or IV fee yet.  Based on your time line I see you were able to pay the very next day you have received the case number right? Can you shed some light on that please.

hi!! i did mean not actual paper! i mean to call to make sure when your mailed docs arrived and were scnned at NVC, that NVC was aware your DS260 was filled online already and that your mailed docs are “attached” to this online DS260 in the Nvc system!

Don't be. You will be fine. If it did not change by Friday, call NVC again
