Hi fellow NVC filers. As I am waiting for the NVC to come back online, I started wondering about whether I need to submit some of the similar documents to the Affidavit I864 and DS-260 in the Supporting Documents section. For example both I-864 and the Ds-260 ask for the marriage certificate, and because I am using the income of my spouse that will continue in the US to help the household income, both applications would seem to need the letter of employment continuing... Have you submitted the same documentation twice under two separate sections or just once time under one of them? My logic is that someone looks it one time and I already have so many documents, that I would hate to overwhelm them with one more copy, or do you think this is necessary?

 

Searching but can't find a post on this...

I would appreciate to learn what you did.

 

Another thought that is on my mind as a hope for this long maintenance period when submitting documents is impossible... - I hope that since NVC seems to be sending out DQs, that although for those who hasn't submitted documents the 4-6 weeks timer hasn't kicked in yet, but perhaps it will shrink the time of the wait, since NVC will have time to catch up and process the cases already submitted. Unless of course they also take a little break right now and taking it easy...

As for my opinion the ceac online submission website is well organized and you won't get lost on what's to upload etc. Not unless they changed it during their maintenance.

I don’t know it well enough either, but what I do know, is that government health care systems can’t sustain an efficient and effective system without significant cost to tax payer and generally result in very long lines for treatment and/or massive bills for patients post treatment that can’t be paid for by individuals.. 

 

If legal immigrants can afford the migration process, surely during these massive waiting periods (12-18 mths in most cases) we can save for a years worth of health care insurance as part of the moving process... ?

 

Isn’t that what responsible planning is all about? It’s not like we choose to move today and relocate tomorrow.. 

I’m sorry but as a “single” mother supporting a teen who just started college and what it has cost us going through this immigration process this far, I am living check by check. Does that make me not responsable? I don’t think so. What my husband makes in his country is pennies converted to dollars, adding him to my employer health insurance as soon as he gets here is our plan but at $600/month just to add him, if they want all visa applicants to have health insurance after 30 days, they need to make it a bit more affordable. So please, this isn’t about being responsible. Those words are not the right choice in this matter.

I couldn't agree more! The main and only beneficiary of such so called "rules" or "proclamations" are INSURANCE COMPANIES, which have strong lobbiests in Washington who are constantly pulling the strings and urging politicians to pour more $$ into their pockets! Ask yourselves when was the last time YOU (and your family) benefited from any of these rules, many of which, the average hardworking American, doesn't even know or hear about, till they're pass and become LAW!! READ MY LIPS. Every time politicians (Left or Right) want to pass a proposition or "law", they waive the banner of "why should taxpayers have to pay for it" Well let me tell you something: Taxpayers have always and will always bare the burden of high cost of health insurance or high cost of gasoline at the pump, or forever climbing apartment rents/leases. When they want to "brainwash the masses" and pass these laws/rules they say things like "immigrants must have their own insurance, why would you and I have to pay for it". Very logical statement indeed, but the bottom line is Insurance companies will get richer, and you and I will never, I repeat never, see (or have seen) our heath insurance cost or in general cost of living go down! Have you?! Wake Up America And Don't Let Them Feed You this BS. "inneedofmhb" above laid out a real-life example of her struggle that I'm sure applies to many Americans. Our Health Insurance System Suck No one Can Argue With That! As the world leader, we have one of the worst and broken healthcare system in the world. Fixing it will require a major re-haul and restructuring, and not just these "blame it on immigrants tactics"!!!

Continued... Fixing our Healthcare System requires a major re-haul and restructuring, and not just these "blame it on immigrants scare tactics"!!!, which have become the de-facto way of getting these rule to pass and a fertile ground of anti-immigrant sentiments and further division amongst Americans!!! If our great great grandfather/mothers were asked to get insurance before setting foot on US soil, 95% of us wouldn't be here and this GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS wouldn't have become the land of opportunity for ALL (rich and poor alike)...

That's what we're hoping for too (we're stuck until we can upload docs) but I'm worried that everyone waiting to upload docs during the outage will upload all at once and their wait times will get even worse!

Good morning from Europe, fellow Visa Journey members.

 

Has anyone ever experienced this long shut down/ maintenance work of the CEAC website? Or heard of this type of system crash before? I just have no idea how long this can continue, as all of you, of course. I am just very concerned that there will now be more obstacles along the way, more time to endure in this process. I was literally going to upload all documents on the same day the system crashed. So sad. I have already resigned from my job (my last day is December 31), and cancelled my lease for my apartment for the same day as my last day of work. I was expecting to get an interview in January by the latest. My priority date is December 24. Do you think this crash will make the process even longer for me and for the rest of you? 

 

Good luck to all of us!

It takes 2-3 business days to clear fees and you have to do that first.

No one knows how long it will be done, but logically everyone will start uploading at once when it comes back online. So yeah I’m sure it’s going to take a while for them to review docs. Everything is unpredictable with this process I’m afraid.
