IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	OP is trying to prove he still has domicile in the states, where as you live in the States, and you are current at that resident address the CO at interview wouldn't bother really giving much thought into the letter.     Well, what can I say I'm an idiot, I thought I had read others in their same situation living with family and when I was living with my husband that was what I was going to use for proof of domicile since how many people can keep a home running and paid for, for two years unless you won the lotto.   I should just keep quiet hahahaa, ty I appreciate it.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Ok, good.   Now I filled out my Affidavit of Support, this time I put N/A in all the parts for 7 a,b,c,d because I do not want to use asset as supplemental income. This is the stupid reason why I am in this mess. Everything is approved (cosigner and all documents) just my stupidity in filling out this section and NOT sending in bank statements caused my 2ND CHECKLIST. Even though I am below poverty line and even though my income wont be looked at.     Should I still send bank statements? I am so paranoid now that they will still be like "Well checklist said bank statements..." even though I completed a new Affidavit of Support and omitted part 7.   Now I included a letter explaining I made a mistake and i didnt want asset as supplemental income included and signed it. That is what a rep told me to do, he said you dont even need to include a new form and I said Well too bad I am sending it.   I dont know if should just send teh bank statements as well even though technically they are no longer needed    Then I am afraid I send them and they are like "why is he sending these for they are no longer needed, maybe he filled out form wrong...checklist!"      I had a ton of help with the AOS actually didn't fill it out because I just didn't get it.  I only feel comfortable with how many people the rest I could not advise you since I would just die if I hurt your chances of a quicker CC.  I will leave this to those who know what they are saying. Be patient someone will come along that can answer your questions.   Sorry it couldn't be me.	Soloenta	Female	Egypt	2014-08-21 23:09:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	CC was confirmed by phone on Monday, the 18th and I received an email this morning, Thursday, the 21st notifying that an email will be sent out once the interview is scheduled...I also called on Tuesday to ask about the next step, the rep told me that NVC is done scheduling interviews for the month of August, so he asked me to expect an email in the first or second week of September...meaning more waiting... One of my friend got her CC on August 11th, then she received an email regarding the interview date (September 2nd) on August 15th..I guess some people are just plain more lucky :S      WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO so very happy for you and your loved one!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Just got off phone, no CC for me            The worse you feel the closer it is, so very very soon I'm praying if not this week early next.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Wow I think I found another error   Part 5 Sponsor's household Size   So I am sponsoring my wife so on Question # 1. I put a 1 there   Then the second half is Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit   So I put one for myself (by default) Question # 2   Then Question # 3 says if you are married put 1 for that as well     Now since I am sponsoring my wife, I don't put a 1 here correct even though I am married?, since she is included up at that top and I am SPONSORING her?   How did NVC not catch this? On my last form I had 3 in my household when I think I should only have 2 in my household...right? If its just me and my wife and im sponsoring her?     You got it, good catch	Soloenta	Female	Egypt	2014-08-21 22:15:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Looks like our AOS is being reviewed. I think that's what the operator said that AOS is being reviewed and allow us 60 days for the reponse. Hopefully Tomm we will hear something! Let's see.      Oh wow praying it's soon how exciting.

Does everybody from Egypt go thru it? 1.5 years was a terrible time already really      Thank you my dear, I have seen some not being put in AP mostly Christian, the rest I suppose they think are terrorists hahhaaa I find it amusing in a pathetic sort of way.  But we shall see, with some prayers said and if they are just (not holding my breath) maybe just maybe we will be lucky.   God willing.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Thankyou so so much all of u guys! It means a lotttt really. I don't know what I would have done without VJ in all this time! And yes u guys were talking about ppl who live together for a short time and then get apart so I lived with my husband for barely 3 weeks and I have been living life without him for close to 2.5 years now (including 8 months that we were engaged) so yeah we couldn't have things as strong as old couples here and yet facing this distance is really really harder for people like us I think. But since we have faced tha worst now I do think that it doesn't take ordinary love to face it and we must have stronger bond than I used to think we have. But we will all make It to the finish line soon now can't wait for this nightmare to be over and can't wait to cheer for u guys on having case completes in a couple weeks and I really do mean it       Your very welcome precious and your both stronger now and the advantage is that when your together in the not so distant future you will have been tested by fire!  You will appreciate each other so much more and hold on tighter.   Please rest assured I'll be here to annoy you until you reach the USA .

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Oh Soloenta You are so nice. I think this journey has changed us all and for those of us who have gone through it apart from our spouses, as you and I have, I think it has changed our relationships with our husband as well. We are fortunate as we have been married for 17 years so have a strong base to go through something like this. I do feel bad for those who have just got married and were separated quickly as they applied for their Visas. It must be tough but we just hope and pray that when they are back together the love that bound them together in the beginning will see them stronger. Today is a big day for us as it is exactly a year ago today that my husband left to start his new job in the US. He was quite down this morning but I kept saying that it really won't be long now. Oh well, better go before I start going on and on and on ......       17 years how beautiful and yes that makes all the difference in the world, your well established and have children but it's still not the most easy thing in the world to be apart.   I will be married 3 years Oct 16 Th and I can tell you this hasn't changed anything for us.  We hold each other up, ok he holds me up more than I do him.  He keeps saying don't worry we will be together soon Insha'Allah.   What this has taught me is to realize how lucky and blessed I am to have found my husband in this gigantic world and USCIS, NVC or the Cairo Embassy can't change that!     I join you in prayer so that those separated to soon will hold together tight and make their union stronger.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	I was only referring to the bit about paying the difference at the interview. The fees will still be increased on September 12th, so if you haven't paid one or both of the fees by then, then yes, you'll be paying the new, increased fee.            Ok so now I'm totally confuseddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!  do anyone really know if NVC is working on Monday can we call them?      Have you ever heard of any government workers working a Holiday, any Holiday hahahahaaaa no way and they will take the rest of the week off to they will just be at the office. hahahahaha Breath, I am, I know how you feel I hate weekends and Holidays to.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Someone posted that the waiting time for ds-261 to be reviewed and accepted is 60 days. Is this real?? I thought 60-days is how long it would take before they review AOS amd IV package... Btw, Im confused with the new visa fees. Are we affected by that? Thanks guys!      Saylin AKA   said it would not affect us.	Soloenta	Female	Egypt	2014-08-31 00:03:00

If you can survive NVC, you'll sail through anything in the overall visa journey. Usually, there are good solid reasons for very extended APs, and I doubt your case has any of those.       You always manage to make me feel better thank you so much, until the next time I panic.   Shoukran!        Edited by Soloenta, 30 August 2014 - 08:05 AM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	I hope you're right. There is still administrative processing which I've been through more than once.. the longest was 13 months. From my experience, however, the psychological damage caused by NVC is far worse than AP.        My biggest fear and the one that doesn't let me sleep and makes me feel physically sick while I'm awake.  I have no peace.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	If u r sure then U shouldn't wait for the checklist. Send with AOS checklist. In case u don't get checklisted for the birth certificate still it wouldn't affect ur case since u wouldn't be getting a case complete without ur AOS checklist reviewed anyways. So there is no harm in sending it right now.       I second Samreen	Soloenta	Female	Egypt	2014-08-30 03:58:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Ok I finished catching up on the last 30 pages since my last visit, this thread moves so fast! Today is 30 business days since my AOS package, I called yesterday and talked to Sarah. She wasn't very helpful at all, every question I asked she just kept repeating wait 60 days. I asked "60 calendar days or 60 business days?" All she would say is 6o DAYS, I could not get her to commit to one or the other. The only helpful thing I got was when I mentioned that I sent in my civil documents before my ds-260 she said, "oh, that's good!" So that was a bit of encouragement. At the end of the call I got a syrupy sweet, "thanks for calling,and have a wonderful day!" It was almost dripping with sarcasm, but not quite. I was really hoping to be done by November, but it's not looking too promising right now. Monday is a holiday so nothing is getting done until Tuesday no matter what AustinCanada says (if emoticons worked on my iPad I'd put the laughing guy here!!!) Oh well, at least I have this forum to make me laugh about it all.     I got her a couple of times also, didn't you just want to B slap her OMG I wish I could walk up to them in person!
