Hi all

 

Just received DQ email. Single submission on November 24 2019 and DQ on January 15 2020. I am a British citizen and my interview will be scheduled at the London consulate. I'd like to make a couple of observations that will hopefully be helpful to those yet to make submissions.

1. Your primary source of information should not be this or any other forum. It should be the State Department website and USCIS. Just because something worked for one VJ member does not mean it will work for you so relying completely on their experience is not advisable. Read the NVC website (every single page of it, including the FAQs, your embassy's page and also your country's document page), read it again, and again, prepare your documents and then go back and cross-check your submission against the website line by line. Pay particular attention to the AOS, read the form carefully and also the guidance on the USCIS website. If in any doubt at all, always use the i-864 (as opposed to any of the other variations). 99% of the rejections I've seen could have been avoided by reading the fine print on the aforementioned websites. If English is not your first language, do not take any chances; get a trusted bilingual friend to check you have not missed or misinterpreted anything.
2. Calling the NVC for a case update is a complete waste of your time and money and will only cause you aggravation. The only time it's worth calling the NVC is if you dispute the information in CEAC and even then it's debatable how much help they will be. If you must call, 7amEST is the best time for reduced wait times in my experience.
3. The NVC will not look at anything (and therefore the clock doesn't start) until you've submitted every single required document. I see so many questions where people assume the clock starts counting from the moment they submit their first document.
4. The one area of inconsistency I have noticed with the NVC is in relation to police certificates. Be prepared to produce a police certificate for every single country in which you've lived since the age of 16. This of course excludes countries where you merely vacationed. The NVC website states that you need to have lived there for >12m for a police certificate to be required but my experience is that they will want to see one for every country you've lived in post-16 so be prepared. If possible, request the certificate in advance of your case being created to save time. And check the country requirements to make sure you request it from the correct authority.
5. Be careful with your scanning. I used the Adobe Scan app on my phone for all my documents and that works well. Basically you need to work on the assumption that anything you do to make the case officer irritated could result in a rejection (e.g. scanning a document in landscape which is read in portrait). Adobe also has an online tool for shrinking the size of PDFs if required.
6. And finally for the love of god, please sign and date your i-864 by hand. It breaks my heart when I see submissions delayed for such a simple mistake.

 

Thank you all for your updates and I hope you all receive good news soon.

It’s good to hear that someone from London got DQ, there isn’t many of us in this thread. Thanx for the advice noted

Yes, I thought the same which is why I felt compelled to post. Just to give other Brits out there hope that our cases are being looked at too. I think the fact there aren't many of us speaks to the theory that NVC may throw their resources at the countries with a high number of applicants. I can see a certain logic to this if it equalises the wait times on average. But clearly that's not the case, which makes it unfair. Fingers crossed for you that you hear soon.

Congrats to everyone on your DQ! 

 

Just submitted all my documents today from all your help, now my waiting process begins again!

Weirdly I cannot send "like" emojis to your posts guys... but congratulations to the couple of DQs today and yesterday 😁.

 

MrMrsT, I cannot imagine you not being DQ within couple of days now. I am following your case very closely as you can imagine 😋

That kind of delay is just so ridiculous.

I don't think there is anything to speculate on whether such nationalities get DQ faster etc. and anyway for us French, we are so few on this forum, that we surely cannot make any stats relevant.

 

Fingers crossed for all of you who have been waiting for over 6 weeks, I'm sure you are very close (again, there is no other way ;-))

Take care, big hug.
