NVC Filers - June 2018

[PhoenixBlaque 51]

Hey everyone!

 

I'm still waiting for my case# and invoice# as well.  Just passed week#6.

 

I-130s approved: 4/10

NVC received: 4/25

How are you guys answering this question "Do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with U.S. law?" on DS260. My wife has most, if not all, the required vaccinations and she is in the process of getting her medical records. We should have everything in the next week or two.  I feel like saying NO and providing explanation is the honest answer, like this site suggests (https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-do-i-say-on-form-ds-260-if-i-havent-found-my-vaccination-records.html), but I have seen other discussion threads that say to answer YES to this question because you will have the medical records before the interview.

We answered No, as that was the truth at the time, and then, in the extra information section, wrote " vaccination requirements will be completed at the upcoming medical " 

No issues at all from this for us 

We did the same & had no issues.

[Ann&James 179]

I answered yes because I had my immunization card and checked it with the vacinations needed on the uscis website, and I had all the vacinations that was listed there. When I went to the medical still had to get certain boosters and the flu shot.

Try to compress each file individually (https://www.ilovepdf.com/compress_pdf) and then you can try combine everything in one file (http://combinepdf.com/). Good luck  

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am not comfortable uploading sensitive documents to some random third party site. I got a subscription for Adobe PDF Acrobat Pro and I compressed the scanned file down to 6 MB from 25 MB. I can compress it more, but then it becomes hard to read.

I suffered that same agony as well. I called them last Friday as that is my exact 8th week mark. The agent was kind enough to offer to have my case forwarded to their supervisor. After the weekend, I called again on Monday and finally got my case and invoice number.

 

I suggest you go ahead and do the same. Try calling again on Mondat and if you still don't have a case number, ask for it to be forwarded to a supervisor. As I've mentioned earlier, nothing gets done unless you call and bug them.

I will call them tonight, because it's still their Sunday night right now. They told me to give them until their Friday midnight and wait until Monday to call. I am getting so frustrated. The agent I talked to said they are not yet done with the finishing touches for Pete's sake, it's been 8 weeks.

My answer is NO,....

Then explanation ...WILL BE GIVEN ON THE MEDICAL BEFORE THE INTERVIEW AT US EMBASSY.

Does not encounter any problem. 

We have our Interview sched on July 17th.

@R&OC Question... with the checklist, does your CEAC status show "At NVC"?

Yes, it does but I know in my case, it is not a cc.

 

I was travelling for a few days but called on Friday to ask about my international birth certificate. The operator told me that they will likely deny it.

 

Frist checklist for three international birth certificates in one document. I resend those three birth certificates in separate files. Second - to be anticipated checklist - for the international birth certificate as they are looking for the German word of birth certificate whereas the international one states "Certified copy of birth registration record" (I don't have it in front of me but somewhere along the lines of that). I am at loss for words because wouldn't one expect them to point this out right away? It is an official birth certificate in three languages as a standard given the nature of the European Union. The operator told me that they are looking for a German one, the super old format from way-back-when. I don't even think I have one, to be honest. 

 

I would expect a document to be denied for every reason (multiple documents and the "wrong" one) and not as a piecemeal.

So while filling out DS260 my wife realized that she provided wrong dates for one of the addresses in I-130A. Instead of March, she stated May. We are obviously going to write correct dates in DS260. How big of issue is that? Do we need to inform USCIS or NVC about this some how?

How did you know that NVC received your case ?

It’s been 18 days and no emails are sent ..

My case is still showing:  "Action required: Submit requested documents" even if I already submitted everything a week ago.

 

do you get the same and what is next ?

 

Thanks.

this will change as soon as NVC had a look at it. You will get an email and if you go to status check it will say "at NVC" - this indicates a CC or that you need to resend some files.

You will have to call NVC to confirm. They don't email for case received.
