We are finally at the NVC stage and submitted all paperwork. Awaiting a interview date. I am pretty sure my husband will be denied a Visa because he will probably require a immigrant waiver (I-601). Are we going to have to file this at USCIS and wait another 11 months for this stupid waiver or can we beg and plead to do it at the Embassy in Montreal?? I cant wait another year:((((

How long NVC take to review those packages that I sent

 

how do you know when your I-864 or IV package has been scanned? i did recieve email from them saying

We received electronic documentation for this case. Please allow up to 20 business days from the day the email was sent for the scanned attachments to be uploaded to the electronic case file and reviewed.

 

does this mean it was scanned?

Interview for Montreal is very very rarely "months".  Check in on the monthly interview thread to see how long people have been waiting

a

 

Montreal was up to 46 days a few months ago now down to 15 days:)))

I really hope I am doing this EP right. I am not the best with computers. I have sent all individual PDF attachments in one email. So for the I-864 email I sent total of like 17 attachments which is all my tax transcripts and so on. Maybe I should have hired a Lawyer:(


 

I would suggest using a scanner with a paper feeder if its just a bit longer, that's what I did when I sent in papers to USCIS. 

 

Good Luck. 

 

I guess I will try Staples tomorrow.

Try to find a place with a longer scanner then as you'll need the entire document scanned.

 

 

The next time tick for you is the case number being assigned. I don't have a column for NVC receiving the package.

 

ok, thank you...

Saylin, I have a problem.... Trying to scan Police Certificates to my computer but they are on long yellow paper. Too long for my scanner??? What can I do?

Daaarnit! I had scanned my documents in one PDF file prepping for sending the AOS, and they changed it on me! (maybe I'm behind in the times, or maybe it just changed, lol - for anyone else prepping their AOS that may have been putting them all into one PDF)

 

Group A: Electronic >> Email scanned forms and documents

If your case is processing as part of Group A (see Table 1 above), then you must submit all forms, civil documents, and financial evidence to the NVC by email. To submit by email, you must scan the document to create Portable Document Format (PDF) files. You must save each file with a name that includes your NVC case number, the full name of the applicant whose form or document was scanned, and the name of the form or document ? below are examples of file naming

(case number_name_document/form)

  • ABC2009123456_John_Doe_I864.pdf
  • ABC2009123456_Jane_Doe_Birth_Certificate.pdf

Good question, my AOS bill should be ready soon, was wondering about this as well.

 

i just found the answer.

 

Members have had luck sending the packages as soon as they pay the bills (since the bar-coded cover sheet becomes available after paying). If you're not going to wait for it to appear as PAID in the portal, at least wait until the money has cleared the bank account.


commandergirl1FemaleCanada2014-01-16 20:41:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - January 2014

Just a cautionary note: I filled out my I-864, printed it....got it ready to send, thought I ought to check it again...and of course, I found a mistake. 

 

Fixed that...printed it out again....and found ANOTHER thing I'd filled out wrong.  Like my dad used to say, "Measure twice cut once," meaning check your form and double- and triple-check it before you send it in.  At this stage of the game we want no more delays!   biggrin.png

 

I just paid my AOS today. When should I email them my packet? I opted into Ep so I will not snail mail. It's all ready to go should I do it now or wait until AOS is withdrawn from my account?

Its answered on the first page, I believe in the FAQ. Its not a bad thing, I think it means they're working on it or something, but cannot remember exactly what it said... either way, read the first page and you'll feel better, it does adress this message. No need to panic.

 

Thank you, I have read so much that I forget what I read. So stressful doing this on my own. If my husband was Justin Bieber (Canadian) he would have been here by now.

Can someone please tell me why I get this message when I log into pay fees??  I called immediately and the lady dismissed it. I am panicking.

 

This case is in the process of termination. Fee payments and online forms can no longer be accepted. If you believe you have received this message in error, or to resume processing of the case, please contact the NVC immediately.

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

 

Yes, the beneficiary can call. My husband never called NVC, it was just me (the beneficiary). Never had any problems.

 

 

Use the amount from the tax transcripts as those are summaries based on reviewed tax returns by the IRS. 

 

Not sure what you were planning on doing, but if you have the tax transcripts, you only need to send those. No need for the W2s (unless you filed jointly and need to show just your own income).

 

TY Saylin :)

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

i have both my tax transcripts from the IRS and my W-2 and for 2012. The amount on my w-2 differs from my transcripts by like 22 cents. It looks like they rounded up? I have heard the amount has to be exact. So which one do i use?

Same here, I have had case number for 2 weeks but can't do a darn thing with it.

 

Wow. 2 weeks! Is this some kind of sick way for them to control their work load? This is harder than waiting for USCIS.


commandergirl1FemaleCanada2014-01-13 09:08:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - January 2014

This is ridiculous. I received email with my case number and IIN number and also email saying that I have opted in to EP. But I still can not sign in to do choice of agent and when I sign in to pay fees it says still not invoiced. 


commandergirl1FemaleCanada2014-01-13 08:51:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - January 2014

Short status update: DS-261 became available for me today and i filled it in. smile.png

 

I got my case number on Jan 3 too but by calling. I didn't receive the actual email with them until yesterday. I hope I can do the DS-261 soon:(


commandergirl1FemaleCanada2014-01-10 09:17:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - January 2014

 

did you submit DS- 261 (choice of agent form)?

 

Thanks

 

It wont let me. I get this message when I try to log in to do so.

I just sent off the OPTIN email, thanks for the reminder!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I sent NVC a email to OPTIN but i only put our case number in the subject line and not the word OPTIN before the number. When I call they do read both mine and my husbands emails to me. Does this mean I am opted in?? The mail I sen to them was this.

postal mail? No.  However, I did get mines via email, imbedded in the AOS fee bill file attachment.

So I had been calling and calling to get our case number which I finally did on Friday. Big Whoop Can't do anything with it. AOS can't be paid because it is no invoiced yet and I can't log into forms page either yet.

I need to take a break from this forum. I couldn't have gotten this far without you guys but now getting a interview date unfortunately is on hold now until my husband can get the correct birth certificate and certified court documents. I am afraid this could take months. This is so depressing. I have no words :((

Saylin one thing on our checklist was please submit court and prison records. Well my husband has 7 different minor things on his police record that we submitted. The oldest case was in 1982 and the most recent was in 1997. Now he lives in Pickering now. And one of these cases was in Niagara Fall one was in Brampton one in Orangeville. Does he have to run all over Canada to get these court documents?? Or does he just have to go to RCMP to get his fingerprinting done?? And do you know how many sets of fingerprints? He went to do the fingerprinting and they said it could take up to 90 Days:(((


commandergirl1FemaleCanada2014-02-12 20:20:00

I called NVC and they told me I could send the I-864 again, and to send all the supporting evidence as well to be on the safe side.

 

Anyone else have this experience?

 

I got a checklist today for the same thing. But the only thing is my adjusted and gross incomes are the same number. So I dunno why they sent me checklist saying my income did not correspond.


commandergirl1FemaleCanada2014-02-11 20:01:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - February 2014

I need help. I filed form 1040A on my taxes for the past three years. NVC is saying I put in wrong amounts?? I submitted my transcripts and put the exact number where it says income. Wages salaries tips etc.  $28,442.00. Adjusted Gross Income has same number $28,442.00. How am I wrong with my numbers??


commandergirl1FemaleCanada2014-02-11 09:21:00

please what is the link to order tax transcripts? I got checklist and I am so upset. My husband now has to go get a "long form" birth cert. Apparently the "short form" birth cert. is not accepted. And apparently I put wrong numbers on I-864? I put what was on my tax transcripts?? I dunno. And my husband also needs to get court records. UGH

You didn't do electronic filing? 

If you snail mailed them in, it will take a while, but I'd still call. 

 

no, I did EP. No snail mail.

I sent my I-864 documents on jan 17 and the IV documents on jan 24th. How did you find out if your documents were scanned and put in system?? Did you call them and if so what did you ask them? I want to call but unsure what to ask?? Should I ask for an update on my case? Have my documents been excepted? I am afraid they will just tell me to wait again.

Uh-oh! I wish you send them the checklist highlighting where it mentions only needs to be filled if different.

 

They sent me checklist for the exact same thing. When I called they said you must fill it in leave no blanks. Can't believe they cost me another 30 days for something so stupid.
