Yes this thread was created by our great Queen Saylin and the knowledge is still going forward. I now will be admin over this thread. This thread I pray stays alive and well as many who have gone through the process or still going can chime in and help and assist.

My documents were received on the 17 of september which i was expected to have a case complete already but when i called nvc on 19 of october they still havent open my files so they put me on supervisor review and i have been waiting since then for a case complete. I have been calling everyday trying to talk to a supervisor hoping for some words on the process but they were never available. So now i am a november nvc filer and hoping for a case complete soon and interview

Good luck for every one!

My DS-261 was reviewed yesterday, so I'm waiting for the IV invoice now,

But my husband can't complete his AOS packet because He is waiting for his amended tax return.

do we wait for IRS to approve and process amended tax return before sending to NVC?

any help would be appreciated...

Did you call NVC and have your DS-261 reviewed while on phone or did it just happen? Curious to know how many call and how many just let it ride.

And how long from DS-261 accepted, reviewed (whatever they call it now) and IV fee invoiced and DS-260 appearing?

Is the amended tax return most recent? You could send in the one you hand and bring the amended to interview. Do you still meet the guideline?

My husband called many times but they never said about review it by phone, I got the mail with the confirmation Oct 28. Please check on my timeline for exact dates

Si, We will fill the I-864ez.

He filled his 2014 tax as single and having realized it was a mistake he filled for an amendment on september. Now is processing. But take a while.

We want to sent the amended form and bring the tax transcript to my interview, or maybe is ready to a probably RFE.

Don't forget about the holidays for November!

The NVC will be closed on:

November 11th (Veteran's Day)

And November 26th (Thanksgiving Day)

There will be no progress on any cases on these two days and you will not be able to get thru on any phone lines.

Waiting for case to get to NVC. Waited too long for I-130 approval so hoping this part moves along normally.
