NVC Filers - April 2018

[ajw&bmw 10]

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me:

 

1. Do I need to include my W2s if I'm using IRS tax transcripts? I've heard conflicting things..

 

2. As I've said before, we have all forms & fees completed, except for mailing our AOS/IV packet because we're still waiting on his new police certificate in the mail hopefully any day.. (at this point of already paying & waiting for the new police certificate, we figure we might as wel hang on and include the new one any day rather than send the old and have a chance of waiting longer if they do ask for a more recent one)

 

So, I was wondering if anyone has a guess of how long we may have to wait for a CC after I mail our packet? Considering they can't even review our DS-260 until they get our packet either, and assuming it takes 2-3 days to get to them in the mail. 

 

Thank you for any thoughts on this..I'm so ready and it's really making my antsy that time is just wasting away when I could've had this mailed ahead of time if not for this agonizing wait for an additional police certificate we shouldn't have even needed..

Hi there - 

 

I included the W2s in addition to the tax transcript, but I do not think it was required. I included just in case. 

Your DS-260 must be complete before they will scan and review your documents. It took 2 business days for them to scan my documents and I got a CC (12April) in just 7 business days (Scan Date 03Apr). If everything is in order, they are completing the review pretty quickly right now. 

 

Hope that helps!

Either for 2yr or 10yr green card? I am with for 10 yr because my marriage is over then 2 years for IR1 category. I will check USCIS online about it. Thanks a lot!

That's a good question! I've only heard of the one amount, $220...it's basically the fee for them to produce the card...but let us know if you see something different. We plan on waiting until just after our 2 year anniversary to enter.

Normally how long does it take to get an interview after cc?

If you are renewing your green card because it has expired or will expire within the next six months, USCIS requires you to pay a fee of $540 at the time of filing. The total fee includes a $455 application fee and an $85 biometrics fee. 

I just searched for it, maybe you did as well by now

I think this is the fee for removal of conditions...when the 2 year green card is almost up. The initial fee you pay for the first green card (IR-1 or CR-1) is $220.

Depends on the embassy. They provide NVC with slots and NVC fills in the slots on a first come first serve basis. Cases completed before you (for that embassy) would be considered first.

So it's hard to give an exact timeline. Some have waited less than a month and other have waited a couple of months or more.

Yes it is, that is actually what she need . She has told me that her marriage is over 2 years so she is for 10 years green card

Hello Everyone, Today I got my Case Number, NVC received my case on 14th March. 4 weeks & 3 days.

That would only be if she is already living in the U.S. & has a 2 year green card & it's about to expire & she needs to renew it. This is her first time entering the U.S. with a spousal visa...so the cost for the green card, whether it be IR-1 (10 years) or CR-1 (2 years) is $220.

How long does it take for the embassy to receive your case after NVC sent it?

Does the status change from "In Transit" to something else?

It will change from "in transit" to "ready"

Okay, thank you for your input! I just worried that us not being able to send our documents ahead of time might've caused a while of delay, but if the only delay it will be is how long it takes them to receive our mail..then it hopefully shouldn't be a significant difference in our wait..

 

Thanks again!
