Hi Everyone,  

 

I was wondering if there is a way  to know if NVC has received my approved petition? My petition was approved on 11/01/2019, yet to receive any correspondence from NVC. There is no further case status update on myUSCIS. I received the NOA2 (approval letter) on November, 6, letter states as folllows " we have sent the petition to the U.S. Department of State National Visa Center (NVC)..."

 

Thanks for your help & suggestion in advance

Hi Woolen58 maybe you should try calling the USCIS Office to find out if they sent your case over to nvc, my Dad was approved on November 8 and I call them yesterday the guy said I should wait 60 days to hear something from nvc, but this morning I woke to notification saying my case was sent to nvc, so that’s another month of waiting.

Hi 👋👋

 

i expect you should get an email from NVC Mid December.. they’re averaging around 30 days from NOA2 to create cases and send welcome message.. 

 

in the mean time, I highly recommend gathering all the required information and ensuring it’s scanned perfectly into PDF or JPEG... personally I’d ditch the lawyer... they are notorious for mistakes with the NVC system and document uploading.. 

Thank you Duke@Marie, for the estimation. And yes, I want to ditch the lawyer, my husband is still hesitating, we will take the decision very soon. Since we are both (my husband and I) quite good with paperwork, we should be fine w/out a lawyer.

Plus like you said, I have read many posts pointing out how many mistakes they make with downloading documents. 😯

Take care

Looks like we're in for a little bit of a wait because this weather might hold solid for the week

Hello,

 

I hope its okay to ask for advice here even though mine is a F1 case

 

So we submitted our documents for our application

I am an adult child of a US citizen so F1 application

 

Mum is US citizen and is retired so we got my cousin to be co-sponsor.

 

The first RFE we got was a minor error on his i864 which was corrected ( his name was not written properly). So on the ceac site it said rejected, when we uploaded the corrected one it allowed us to submit.

 

2 weeks later we received 4 messages for FE,

i) They asked for his marriage certificate ( he listed his wife and dad as his household members)

ii) The asked for citizenship or LPR status of his wife and Dad

iii) They asked for tax transcripts for wife and Dad (by the way the wife works and He put in her income as part of household income, his Dad is retired)

iv) They said both wife and Dad should fill i864a

 

I do not know why ( iii -iv) are necessary since his own income is well above the required level . He earns over 100k.

 

Why would his Dad and wife need to fill i864a

 

Lastly - how do I submit these documents since on the home page it just says 'accepted'

Would I still be able to submit? or are these documents supposed to be brought to the interview

 

PS. My case has been current for about 6months now.

Well better than a full day closed but can you imagine the rush of people calling at that time?
