my question is

we are almost on 6 months now after sending all of our documents/all fee's paid to NVC (with all the RFE's we keep getting) we sent/paid everything to NVC begining of April here. Im from Canada and my police certificate we had to send to NVC expires within 6 months of getting it and I got my police certificate the same month we sent it to NVC. Is NVC gunna require a NEW police certificate from me if we are still waiting to hear back from them for our current RFE we just got last night in our email (which will probably be another month wait, making it 7 months since april)

 

 

I hope that made sense...

Police certificate is valid for 1 year. When you attend your interview and the police certificate past the 1 year mark then you'll need to get a new one and bring it to your interview.

when replacing documents in CEAC does the upload date stay the original date?

[Claire HD 18]

Hey! 

Our case was approved on August 15 and I'm preparing all the paperwork for the next step. I (the petitioner) have been completing my PhD in France for the last 4 years so I had no income. I now have a job in the US, but I still have not filed any taxes since my job started this month. I'm asking my dad to be the co-sponsor and will get his tax forms for the last three years. Will that be enough? I will also submit proof of enrollment in school for all those years to explain the non-filing of my taxes. Any other advice/ideas on how to best avoid an RFE in this uncommon situation? 

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone

 

me and my husband are on our 4th RFE..... We filed with a lawyer and we keep getting the RFE's over the same one document (a tax paper of my american husband). The rfe seems to be the lawyers fault (they uploaded it wrong way the first time, then the 2nd time they sent in "too much" of my husbands taxes were just some of the reasons we were given by our lawyer for the RFE's etc). My husband makes more then enough money and there is nothing wrong with his stuff.

 

my question is

we are almost on 6 months now after sending all of our documents/all fee's paid to NVC (with all the RFE's we keep getting) we sent/paid everything to NVC begining of April here. Im from Canada and my police certificate we had to send to NVC expires within 6 months of getting it and I got my police certificate the same month we sent it to NVC. Is NVC gunna require a NEW police certificate from me if we are still waiting to hear back from them for our current RFE we just got last night in our email (which will probably be another month wait, making it 7 months since april)

Hi Mika, So I took this from nvc website: 

 

Important: Police certificates expire after one year, unless the certificate was issued from your country of previous residence and you have not returned there since the police certificate was issued. If at the time of your interview the following three items are all true, you must bring a new police certificate to your visa interview:

• You are more than 16 years old;
• The police certificate submitted to NVC was obtained more than one year ago; and
• You still live in the country that issued the certificate.

Nvc just gave me DQ with my police certificate being 6 months old and Nvc didn’t say anything about it. I hope I helped!

Hey everyone! Wishing you the best of luck in processing!

 

I wonder if anyone has experience/insight in terms of bringing original documents to interview. A member of my family is a joint sponsor for my husband, would he need to bring their original passport? 😕

 

Also, in terms of submitting documents on ceac... we submitted our documents within a day of one another. Does that have any bearing in terms of processing??

 

Thanks all!

No, just a copy of the passport for the joint sponsor. You would also need a copy of whatever you uploaded to prove their US domicile.

Hello All, 

 My case status changed "Sent to the Department of State" on August 14 and I was approved on August 2 TSC. I called last Thursday and I was told that it can take up to 6 weeks. Not specific response from the NVC at all. Anybody has experience with this? How long it takes after the status change from Approved to Sent to the Dept of State?

Just to be cautious — some country’s extend their own “expiration date” which is listed on the document. For Portugal, this is about 6 months. I’d err on the side of caution and not submit documents that are expired. I’d hate to see someone get a checklist after submitting a document whose expiration date was listed and passed. 

If this is not stated, then I suppose the NVC rule of 1 year should be followed.

I’m on week 10 with no case number or movement with the NVC/Department of State once it arrived. I’ve seen people get theirs in 3-4 weeks, but they say it can really take up to 8 weeks instead of 6 now. I’d prepare your documents, but be prepared to wait. However, it took 12 days for my packet to leave uscis after approval, and then 7 more days to reach the NVC. My status changed to “departed USCIS” on day 12. It said approved up until this point, though I tried the online tracker late relative to my noa2 being issued (May 31 issue to I checked online tracker on June 10).

I called on a weekly basis, I was able to get a case assigned within 3 weeks.  

 

Received July 18th assigned the 8th of August.

We got approved on 7/3, case sent to NVC on 7/16, received by NVC on 7/24, case number issued on 8/15. When was your case sent to NVC? What does your USCIS case status say? It looks like it takes about 3 weeks after NVC receives your case to issue a case number.
