Got DQ'd this afternoon! Something to cheer about during these times 😊 This was our 2nd submission (submit date: 4/17/20). NVC seems to be processing cases faster than before and hope they stick with this consistency. Good luck to everyone here.

This gives me a bit of hope. My 2nd submission was on 4/23/20 . I am hoping to hear something soon because this wait seems so painful than the virus  . I am stuck at a job that I don't like and I need that silver lining. Do you mind sharing what consulate you are applying at?

I'm sure someone is going to have to open up a discussion about which embassies are open. Then the next game starts. At this point I'd rather just go live in Iraq with my spouse. At least we would be together and happy, instead of at the whim of an increasingly messed up government aimed at making immigration impossible. 

And it kills me to no end that the president has married two immigrants. Yes, more anxiety and more depression.

My i130 just got approved on may 15. So I have two questions.

when should I expect NVC to send me the case# and invoice #? Also if I can’t get the police certicate and my wife birth certificate because of Covid-19 what can I do?

also do we have to translate all the documents?

 

i appreciate the help! And good luck everyone on this stressful journey!!

I got the case and invoice numbers from the NVC the next day, so hopefully you'll get it sometime this week.

 

If you can't get copies of documents due to Covid, there is a spot to add a comment stating why you don't have it. Explain the situation and that you will bring copies to the interview. Hopefully someone else here can confirm that this method doesn't result in an RFE. I was lucky that we were still able to get a police certificate during this time so didn't run into this issue.

 

And yes, the instructions state that all documents should be translated.

 

Congrats on getting to this stage!

Only those who's I-130 starts with IOE case number receive WL letter this quick. All other case numbers wait 4-8 weeks for WL, some even longer due to Covid delays at the moment.

Oh man I didn't realize there was such a discrepancy in timeframes! I suppose it's possible his I-130 case is older, but don't they all start with IOE now?

Same question. What happened to NVC progress lol ??

I called and they just said reduced staff. They are basically moving 1 day a week in the past 3 weeks. 
 

I submitted on Feb 20, 2020. Still no DQ yet. I don’t understand how they are processing for submission dates after.

My i130 is IOE I filled in October 2019. So hopefully I’ll get the email from nvc sometimes this week!

A1: you only need joint sponser’s tax return making sure he makes enough money. There is no need for his wife’s sign of anything.   A2) yes you need to fill out I 864 for yourself as you are petitioner.  A3) if your tax transcript  for 2019 are not available just upload 2018 at this point or you can upload 1040 with W2s. Hope that helps

It's smart to have the spouse of your joint sponsor fill out an I-864a.  They may ask for it. Avoid the RFE. 

 

Do any of you know what time of day payments go from in process to paid? Does it change at midnight EST?
