NVC Filers - June 2018

[Mira R 0]

Hi everyone,

 

I have a quick question: My case seems so complicated for me. I am married to US Citizen for over 2 years and we have a baby. We got married when we were in the US and I had to leave because of family emergency. I applied for asylum during my stay and left while it was in process. I didn't overstay illegally, only my concern is I returned to the country which I've shouldn't because of asylum. 

 

What is my chance to get my IR-1 visa approved. I am worry worried and we have been waiting for so long. P.S. My husband came to visit several times while we were apart. Our child is US Citizen, she got US Citizenship through my husband at local US Embassy.

So we just submitted our supporting documentation to the NVC today via snail mail (the only option I’m told with the Guangzhou consulate).

 

the attorney told me the NVC turn around time for review is typically two months. I thought it was running much faster? I have been seeing two to three weeks on this forum.  Is the two months because we can’t submit our documents electronically? Or due to this consulate in china? Very conservative lawyer?

 

Does anyone else have experience for NVC review of mailed in documents?

 

 

I sent mine in today through mail. Hopefully it’s faster than what your lawyer said 😊

how do you know when is your scan date?

For Pivot cases, it is usually the date you submit all of the required documents and IV application form.

Thank God.Finally u have the most awaited case number.Next steps are as follows - 

1-Ds-261(choice of an agent) .If u have an attorney I think u don't need to choose an agent ( that happened in my case) 

2- pay both the fees( iv & AOS) .For paying the fees u must have the Invoice number along with the case number 

3- when your fees will show  as paid(takes 3-7days)  Fill up Ds-260 online.

4- Submit Petitioner's financial and Beneficiary's Civil documents ( photo copies) .Through mail if non pivot.But if pivot through online submission u have to submit documents.

5- Wait for them to receive,review and a case complete

It is basically a Beneficiary' s form.Because it consists details of Beneficiary.But if the Petitioner has all the information about Beneficiary then the Petitioner can also fill up Ds-260.Normal questions about Beneficiary.In this forum at the very first page there is a Wiki.Check that you can find the details about Ds-260.

Sign here is e-sign.It says that u have to accept the fact that u have read and understand the questions above and filled it correctly .So now u have to put the passport number of the beneficiary and name .Techinally the beneficiary has to sign it.It's just an e-sign.Or u can save the whole form.When the beneficiary gets time log back again and do the e-sign and submit.
