Soloenta, you funny girl....I miss you, how are you doing? Did you send your IV package yet? :luv:

 

   :cry: No but I think tomorrow early they will be on their way.  Had some problems but found the solution to it when it came to copying the my husbands passport.  I couldn't get my printer to print them but then I remembered my husband telling me a while ago if I can't fix something the normal way try Microsoft Paint and sure enough it worked :D   So tomorrow morning they go.

 

   I miss you to sweet heart been wondering how it's going. :) (F) (L) (F)

hello everyone,

My husband forgot to send the copies of all the IV documents. He only sent all the originals. Does anyone know if we r going to get a checklist for not sending photocopies of documents..it"ll really be heart breaking if they send a checklist for photocopies..im sure they can make the copies themselves ????

 

   Just send the copies now don't wait.......................... sorry if someone has already answered. :D   And no checklist if you send the copies in.

Regarding this matter, what is acceptable to NVC and the respective Consulate are not one and the same at times. Legally, what you said should be fine. However, some Consulates only accept translations from pre-assigned translators, much like pre-assigned physicians for medical exams. They could get away with this restriction being not on US soil.

 

 

Were you spying on me? (I should tape over that webcam.)

 

      Yes, yes I was :P :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks for the advise Soloenta, thanks for caring 

 

I called them, a nice woman answered, told me that the check list has two points regarding the filing tax for the year 2013 and employment status for the petitioner.

 

I told her that in the original papers (that I sent before) I clearly stated that the petitioner is unemployed. Also there was an attached letter that clearly explains that there was no 2013 tax return filed since the petitioner is unemployed.

She advised me to resend it again and use a black pen on all the empty fields that has to do with the Part 6 with N/A. And so I did. Just came back from DHL. Should be in NVC next Wednesday noon.

 

Maybe I should either call a supervisor, or send an email to nvc inquiry.

 

What do you think? Will that make it faster if they recheck my papers and see for them selves?

Or should I just wait for at least one week to get my new I864 scanned and another 5 weeks to be processed  

 

   Holy cow they are so nit picky it's infuriating, I hope they don't take the full 30 days.  I would call when the AOS arrives wait one day then call.  Not sure a supervisor can help but I would try.  Good luck and please let us know what happens.  I'll be praying on my side all goes well.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - July 2014

Morning... I just called NVC to see if my AOS packet has been scanned into the system(of course it hasnt) and I also asked abt my DS261. It was completed on July 3 but the rep says it shows in their system as completed on july 9. I never went back in to access it because of horror stories. Is this something I should dispute/ ask for supervisor?

 

   No it's typical of them so much for electronic forms, you send it on the 3ed they don't put it in the system until later and your lucky it wasn't on the 29 Th of July sad to say and yes I know it's only the 14 Th hehehe ;)  
 


Hello.
my husband paid aos fees june 11 and he sent the aos package june 16 and till now we're waiting the IV Application Processing Fees to be invoiced .is it normal? he called the nvc and they told him that its under review recall 2 weeks later.

 

  Yup your coming up on the date. You should call to check might be ready might have to wait a few more days.  (F) (L) (F)


Happy Monday. My week started off a bit ordinary when I was driving to work and rock hit my windshield and cracked it. Boo. Then, I got to work and my boss told me that the higher paying job I have been doing for the last 6 months will not be extended because the person I was covering is coming back. No biggie because i will just go back to my normal duties, but slightly less money.

 

I hope this week brings good luck at NVC for everyone with lots of CCs, interview dates and unlocked invoice fees!  :joy:

 

  Holy Cow girl sorry to hear this OMG take care it's just a bad day for you happens to us all but keep your eyes open. (F) (L) (F)

I found out last Friday on the phone that I have got a checklist for my AOS package :crying:

She told me I would get a computer generated email within Saturday or Sunday. :clock:

The email will have the cover letter with bar code as well as all the items to fix. :angry:

Offcourse I received nothing so far. I expect them to be late as usual. So I am thinking: well, here comes another 30 frekin business days :protest:

 

Do you think it is a good idea to save time by calling the NVC again and get all the info through phone. and use the original AOS cover sheet with bar code?

Or should i just wait for the email? 

 

   NOOOOOOOOOOOO call them as soon as you can. :( So sorry this happened. :(

:ot:

I have committed two sins in the post you referred to. First, I jumped to an unfounded conclusion and the OP had every right to scream his head off at me, and yet he chose to be gracious in his response and even accepted my apology. Second, and worst still, I used the harsh word of lying when I really meant mis-representation, which I'm afraid is becoming second nature to us in this neighborhood that we don't even realize it's wrong! To me, doing a half-### job when one is trusted to perform it is a form of lying. So is cutting people right and left in traffic, or parking illegally, or omitting cash dealings from tax returns, or cheating in an exam when the proctor is deliberately turning a blind eye to the entire exam hall. The examples go on and on and I see them everywhere here in Kuwait. Whenever I confronted an offender, I was met with incredulity and outright hostility.

 

I would be saving literally hundreds of thousands of dollars if I just delay my US immigration by 3-5 years, but it would be too late for my kids as by then they would hit high school and will start getting corrupted by the mentality of "It is not wrong if everybody do it." I'd rather see them struggle for an honest living in the US than a socially corrupt and extreme easy living here in Kuwait. Myself and my wife have already become social outcasts here in Kuwait. I pray your husband is not in Egypt.

 

   I respect you even more now my friend.  Yes my husband is in Egypt but he is exactly like you.  He would not in any way take a dime from anyone if it wasn't his. I have seen him in dealings return money when people have made mistakes and go after a man whos wallet fell on the ground and handed it to him.  He is the most honest man besides my father and brother that I know.   He wouldn't lie if his life depended on it and is one of the reasons I love him so much. 

 

   The world needs more people like you!   :)    (F) (L) (F)

I am feeling so discouraged! So down and upset! My husband and I submitted our DS261 May 27th and we have still not herd anything. I called two weeks ago and they told me give it two more weeks and I should be able to pay the IV fee. I just dont get why it is taking so long and I see some people who were in the same place as my husband and I have interviews scheduled. I am feeling so down right now and I dont want to call and yell at NVC, but how is this ok!

 

I just needed a place to vent it out. 

 

  Call I felt the same way they told me to wait and three days later I was able to pay the IV/DS-260.  So please call I bet it's just about ready for you. :)
 

 

   Forgot remind them how long it's been and if they don't give you a good answer ask for a supervisor.

Ha! Isn't that right. Thanks very much. My dad is self employed so his income varies greatly each year - I think this is what has thrown them off. I don't think they could make this process any more difficult. And I have been through it myself in Australia - was way easier and more streamlined.

 

Thanks heaps!

Hi friends,

Just needed to email you all as you are the only ones who understand.

I have had a TERRIBLE morning. Came down with a bad cold last night so feel ####### anyway. We all got up this morning at 4.30 am (which I am used to anyway as I take my son swim training at that time five times a week) to take Andy to the airport as he left to go back to New York and I was just crying like a baby. I am usually so strong and have to be for the children. I settled down by the time we got to the airport. He was very supportive but I feel so bad for him. He is all alone again while I have the children and dogs here.

After yesterday's Checklist and now being separated again it was all just too much. We were all quiet on way home. I think the children - ages 13 and 15 - really felt it this time. Went back to bed and slept for a couple of hours.

Oh well life and this nightmare go on! I will feel better tomorrow.

Thanks for listening and I wish you all good luck this coming week.

Xxx











   I know how difficult it is, just got off Skype with my husband and he asked me if I could come for a visit.  He can't come to me so I would have to go but I can't. :(  I'm in such a bad situation, I have to take care of my parents but I can't work and my job pays very well starting at 60 and up and hour with my work history etc.  But you have to think your so very close can't be more than two months until your together for ever so hang in there and we are here for you when ever you need us. :) ((((((((((MSC))))))))))

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - July 2014

Hello,

 

I have a quick question for you all and I apologise if this has already been answered in the thread. To give a brief overview - I was living overseas with my husband until the end of May when I returned to the US. I am actively seeking employment here but have not had any offers as yet. Becasue of this, we were required to use my mom as a joint sponsor. However, we just received a letter back to say my mom does not meet the income requirements (she is under by about $400) and they have requested we have my dad fill out an I-864A with his income information. I have spoken to several representatives at NVC and done a bunch of research but keep coming across different answers. Here is my question - my parents HOUSEHOLD/JOINT income is well above the poverty guidelines for their household size. Will this be acceptable or is the joint sponsor required to solely meet the income requirements independently?

 

Thank you to anyone who has advice, suggestions or experience to share.

 

Cheers!

 

    I believe you need your dad as a Co-sponsor they want to make sure the Beneficiary does not need public assistance so why not just go ahead and have your dad fill it out.  That's what we did my father is the sponsor and my mother the Co-sponsor and actually only needed my father.  Just play along with the idiots I mean NVC. :D  (F) (L) (F)

But it says in the instructions pdf (page 2 'how to fill out form I-864 #3), that if an item is not applicable or the answer is "none", to leave the space blank.
So, is the pdf wrong?

 

  They lie believe me you WILL get a checklist if you leave blank spaces. I think a few were lucky but not many. 


SoloentaFemaleEgypt2014-07-23 10:26:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - July 2014

 

Um, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that is no where close to the current time frames. Once you submit the DS-261, it's taking about 30 business days for the IV bill to be invoiced. And the DS-260 only becomes available after the IV bill appears as PAID. As for the packages, it's taking 30 business days to review. So, yes, you'll be at NVC for a couple more months.

 

 

Hmm, so maybe for EP cases, I can do the "received" date as when the email was sent, since theoretically, they should receive the email within a few seconds. Then I can use the "scanned" date as whenever NVC says they actually received or opened it (aka entered it into their system).

 

 

D'oh, forgot all about that!!  :bonk:

 

 

 

 

 

As I mentioned above, I think I'll use the scanned date as when they "see" it as you put it. So, time frames for EP might be a little different in regards to packages than for those mailing it in...

 

And thanks for the update (grats on the expedite and swift interview!!). I'll put 7/9 as the case complete date since that's when NVC essentially completed the case (and sent it off).

 

 

If you're asking specifically about the 2014699 portion, that means the case number was assigned on July 18th, 2014.

 

 

Thanks for the input! Hmm, does anyone else feel this way? Don't want to put all this effort in if most people find the old layout better.

 

     I feel the same way mostly because I just don't feel like doing a thing I'm so depressed that just thinking of doing one more thing makes me shudder and don't want to disappoint you.  If I could I would just lay in bed forever.  :(

on the I-864 instructions it actually says to leave it blank if it dosnt apply to you.  I thought the same thing until i read over the instructions.

 

   Yes it does but they don't follow their own rules and people get check lists I have seen this millions of times.  N/A no matter what they have printed.  :)  I think they like giving check lists and it's why they say that hahahaaa just being paranoid.

Hello everyone, I have a question. There shouldn't be any blanks at all on the I-864 form, right?

 

  Right/Correct so when you print it out you have to hand write it in on some.  It wouldn't let me put N/A or None on some of the questions. :)

Is everything okay, my friend?   Have you been sleeping okay?   :)

 

Unfortunately, you got unlucky (or screwed?) since you applied in June, 2013.  Sadly, timing seems to be everything when it comes to immigration.   :dead:

 

I thought I was going to be done with the NVC stage in 30 days after getting a case number, but it's been 2 months and I still got another 50 days to go since I just sent my IV package.  That's assuming I don't get a checklist.  So it will take around 4 months (120 days) to get through the NVC stage if you don't have a lawyer and you don't get a checklist.   :wacko:   I was looking at the spreadsheet and it looks like 50% of the filers received a checklist so the current average timeline of 59 days will go up for sure in the near future.   :unsure:

 

It seems like we both got screwed this time!   :bonk:

 

  Hahaaa yes I actually slept last night, thank God.  I just lose it every once in a while is all and more so lately.  But I beat you just the same since I still have 4 to 6 months to wait after CC just to get the interview. 

  Would love it to not be so, would also love to go to sleep and wake up after the interview. :D  :yes:

Just got hard copy NOA2 from NVC today. Thought I would say Hi. It looks like there's another waiting game going on over at NVC. Let's hope I can jump through these hoops successfully. Anyway Hello to all.

 

               Good luck and welcome to the torture chamber. :D   (F) (L) (F)

I wonder if NVC has added another speed bump.   :bonk:

 

I paid the IV fee last Friday and it now shows "PAID".  However, I can't fill out the DS-260 form yet.  I believe the word "NOT STARTED" will be an active link once it's ready for me to fill out the form.   :dead:

 

I just called NVC and talked to Agent Max. He told me to wait for 5 business days for the system to be updated.  I couldn't help telling him, "WHAT!?  You mean I'll have to wait more after waiting for 30 business days to pay the IV fee?"   :bonk:

 

Now it seems like there is a speed bump at every step of the NVC process.  I'm loving NVC today!  NOT!   :no:

 

   Sad to say I think it took me a couple of weeks seemed like a year. :( 

 

   I must say I'M REALLY PISSED OFF I GOT STUCK IN ANOTHER LONG BACKLOG and it's just not fair.  Everyone after CC will get their interview and I'll have another long wait.  I think they're trying to see if I commit suicide first. :cry: :ranting:     :cry:
