Wow, only just got time after getting back from vacation to get all my documents together and will be sending it off tomorrow! That leaves 73 days in my window...

We found this pretty hard this time around as we feel our evidence is a little weak. This is due to us living with my wife's parents who own the house that we all live in together as we are currently looking for our own place...

Our evidence is as follows:

• Copies of My Passport and Permanent Resident Card
• Marriage certificate
• Three sworn affidavits and one letter by US citizen friends/family attesting to our relationship and marriage (one from my in-laws whose house we live in stating that fact)
• Copies of our Federal Tax Returns from 2007 and 2008
• Copies of our State Tax Returns from 2007 and 2008
• Copies of W2’s and 1099’s from 2007 and 2008 showing our shared address
• Three Copies of Bank statements for our joint checking and savings accounts, from 2007, 2008 and 2009
• Copies of various notices from our shared car insurance policy throughout our marriage
• Copies of our individual health insurance plans addressed to the same address
• Copies of car titles showing our shared address at home
• A copy of airline reservations for multiple vacations including the United Kingdom and San Francsico, CA
• Copies of Bording passes from a trip to the UK in December 2008 and San Francisco in May 2008
• Copies of various holiday cards we have received since being married
• Copies of various tickets from events we have gone to together
• 20 photographs taken of us from 2007 to 2009 during our marriage

I hope that will be good enough!

Good luck to all filers! My 90 day window opens today but I am still on my road trip with Dannie (grand canyon next stop) so I will mail when we get back on the 17th. Wish we could have mailed today though!

I'm actually really bummed we can't do ours right away, but I guess 75 days is still enough...

Congratulations on the baby! That's great news!

And it is fun remembering the last two years together, especially with photographs anyway... Not really enjoyed looking at old bank statements biggrin.gif

Hello there fellow 'Removing of conditions in August' people!

Figured I would start a topic for all us August filers to keep in touch.

My 90 day window begins on the 4th August as my Green Card expires on the 1st November 2009.

Unfortunately I cannot file until the 17th August as we are away on vacation from tomorrow onwards. That still leaves us with about 75 days in the window if we overnight it to the VSC. It bothers me that we can't file it exactly 90 days before, but it's the best we can do...

So who else is with me?

I mentioned it here yesterday here.

 

This one:

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.

 

They slowed down a great deal lately. All my predictions failing since I got assigned my case 20th of May. Thought they would invoice me etc by now!!!

 

What red boxed message do you see and what invoice are you talking about?

 


ameriturkMaleTurkey2014-05-29 12:18:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - May 2014

I still have that red message since yesterday. I wonder when they will actually invoice me....

 

Few ppl said it should change in couple hours but it hasnt changed yet..

 

I know there is nothing to worry, as few people already mentioned thats OK as stated in wiki and i even called to confirm. But still annoys me to see that red boxed message!!!


ameriturkMaleTurkey2014-05-29 11:16:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - May 2014

you should be able to have your invoice tonight or tomorrow..... I had same message, then in about an hour, I was able to sign in and see my invoice. 

Thats what happens i guess. i posted first then did google  search. my heart was racing so fast when  i saw it lol 

 

 

thanks!!

Hi guys, finally IN here.

 

 

I have few questions in retards to AOS.

 

Do I just put N/A to all empty fields that does not apply to me?

 

I will have a joint sponsor. and He files his taxes jointly w/ his wife.  Does he need to mention her in part 6? They work at same place(own a business).

 

If so, at PART 6 11, it says I need to include 1864A for this person.

 

I am confused :(

After interview date is scheduled(by NVC), Is it possible to move the interview date sooner  by calling US Embassy ? 


ameriturkMaleTurkey2014-05-15 13:07:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2014 Interviews

No one from Turkey got interview recently?  spreadsheet do not have any recent ones. I am curious to see how soon they schedule interviews for Turkey. I look at the Embassy website and there are very few CR1s and interview dates posted a month from current date, doesnt go past that.

 

I guess its safe to say within 30days of case complete? hard to predict...


ameriturkMaleTurkey2014-05-28 16:58:00

Yes.  That button just takes you to the payment page from  the DS261/260 forum  page.

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

Good grief, it's been 4 weeks since I completed the ds261 and still nothing on the IV invoice!!! How much longer will I have to wait? This is rediculous, I was stuck in the main group of the backlog at USCIS and now the backlog here at NVC and they are stalling us by not having the invoice available ggrrrrr

 

You are not alone! I completed mine May 29th!!!

 

And this VJ member posted that they did his case number and issued AOS and IV fee in like 20 days in the month of JUNE! I am so upset.


ameriturkMaleTurkey2014-06-30 11:25:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2014

AoS and IV Bills paid! Waiting on translations to arrive Tuesday and the packets are going out on Thursday! MOVING FORWARD! :)

Are you expedited?


ameriturkMaleTurkey2014-06-29 16:50:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2014

I submitted my DS261 on may 28 for my another case and still no IV fees invoiced.Did you get your IV fees?

Nope. I don't think we will get it invoiced until next week, IF we are lucky. If not It will be second week of July :(


ameriturkMaleTurkey2014-06-27 11:42:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2014

Got my IV Bill today.  Just paid it.

I had submitted my DS261 on May 30th so I guess they are about 3 and a half weeks behind in processing paperwork.

 

I had initially submitted the DS261 about a week earlier and then had made the dumb move of clicking on the "Complete" link next to DS261 on the online site.  Reset my paperwork by a week.  Do not ever click on that button once it shows up as COMPLETE... 

 

I submited mine 29th of May, yours is consider a week prior probably(your first submit date). i dont think they will look at the last week of may till next week. Either way this is good news! 


ameriturkMaleTurkey2014-06-26 18:42:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2014

Still no IV fee. This is ridiculous, almost going to be 30 days!!!! I should of filed my i130 in september and Id have an interview date on hand!!!!!


ameriturkMaleTurkey2014-06-25 19:48:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2014

Ds-261 unlocks Iv fees not receipt and approval of AOS docs...correct?

 

Im thinking they would also take a look at your AOS docs since they are already on your file. Though I don't know for sure. I keep dates on everything for my case. Will keep this in mind.


ameriturkMaleTurkey2014-06-24 11:17:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2014

I wonder if NVC can actually start working this week? Since its last week of the month and  "IT" is pushing IN hard ;)

 

Hopefully they get to may 30th and issue my IV invoice :D

NVC went to sleep. No action today it seems.

 

At this rate it will take another 2 weeks to get IV invoiced!

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

Just got off phone. My AOS  delivered on June 2nd hasnt been touched... ds261 shows received May 30th, untouched as well.

 

 Spoke to Amanda, She was rather friendly!

Spoke to a nice NVC rep {didn't get hold of her name} told me its 100% likely my AOS package is in the mailing room waiting to be scanned into the system, it will be scanned in any moment. I told her I filled the DS-261 June 4th and I corrected an error and resubmitted June 5th, she told me their record shows DS-261 completed June 5th. I asked about IV bill, she told me IV bill will be generated automated as soon as the DS-261 is reviewed, I asked how long to review DS-261, she said the usual 30days stuff....
Everything in NVC is 30days.....

My AOS package sitting in mail room since 6/2/2014. Will call later today if no emails.

Well, after 45 minutes on hold, I ended up hanging up with the NVC agent because he was such a jerk. First of all, he wouldn't hold on for more than 1 minute because my baby was crying and I wanted to grab her before reading him the USCIS case number. 

 

He talked to me like I was an idiot then asked me the date I received the NOA2. When I said, May 27th, he told me that I need to read him word for word all of the information on the NOA2 (aka he wanted me to get to the part where it says, "wait 30 days before contacting NVC"). I ended up just hanging up. Grrrr  :ranting:

I would of cursed before hangup. I don't think they can do anything to the case except read it anyway  :devil:
