IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsThe NVC October Moral Support/Ranting Thread
 

Hi eoc, I just read your post on the interview thread, so what the hell is taking nvc so long to schedule your interview? oh I also say the other post, you know which one. Please stay on this thread if people think you are ranting on that thread.......and by the way I thought you were giving some useful info on interview schedules.

 
 

That was exactly my point. I asked the CO in Lagos about interview schedule and she told me NVC already have November and december slots for Lagos embassy which i decided to share on the thread and i was suprised when someone said the thread is not a rant thread. Yes am sticking to this thread.
I really dont know why NVC have not schedule interviews.

Am sorry everyone for ranting about interview date, l don't mean to be selfish.









Can you add a link to the interview blog? Not sure what you are talking about but don't want to miss it. EOC, it seems what some consider to be ranting, may help others in a way, so don't pay attention to the complainers. I'm so glad this blog is a "safe place" to vent, because... G-d knows... I need that.

I've checked at least 5 times the ceac.state webside for a change to N/A on my AOS fee, but still nothing. Last night I woke up at 3ish and checked my emails...nothing from NVC. I am preoccupied with thoughts of CC and will positively go crazy if that does not happen ASAP!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Confusion abt what to send to NVC :(

hi all, i need help n advice from you all

last time i talked with my husband, we agreed to just send the original of our marriage cert and my birth certificate. but today he changed his mind and we will send the Certified copies since we r afraid that the originals might get lose in the way or in NVC :( when my husband asked NVC, they told my husband that i have to get my docs certified at the agencies. the CERTIFY STAMP will be in Indonesian language, so i might have to get this part TRANSLATED by the translator. is it correct? i mean i never heard ppl did it b4? document certified by agencies and got them (the CERTIFY STAMP) translated?? anyone has the experience? please, i'm so confused :unsure:

Good luck and tht is fine if u and your fiancee have some more questions, its nice to help with my experience :)


Hi Setefanni:

I have follow up questions if you don't mind answering them. I will really appreciate it.
1. Please confirm if the Affidavit of support (Form I-134 fiance(e) visa applicants)still needed to be notarized. If yes, how did you get yours notarized? Will the bank notarization suffice?
2. Please confirm that police clearance is no longer needed for the interview.
3. Is it true all medical examination forms are not available online and needed to get them at USEM?

I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2014 Interviews

Hello,

My interview is coming up this week and I just want to go by an expert VJer to make sure that I am not missing anything. I have attached the documents list.

 

So from all that I'm gathering we need to bring the following:

Medical

Passport

Photocopy of the birth certificate 

Interview letter

Two passport type photos

Photocopy of marriage certificate

 

I submitted the original birth certificate of my spouse, but they still sent the status code of F. 

Same case for PETITIONER MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE which I sent original to them.

 

Any thing else that I need to bring ? Also, I am confused about the PCC. The local police station made the PCC valid for only three months. I have the issue date of Oct 25th, 2013. According to local Police station laws, the PCC has been expired. But the interview letter says the following

 

"A new police certificate from your current country of residence, if you obtained the police certificate more than one year ago."
 
Does that mean that they will accept the PCC; as it's not been more than a year old.

 

your pcc is expired,even if its been an year i suggest you get one made

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2014
Word of advise so no one does the same mistake as I did. I filled out DS261 on 5/12 and then on 6/11 I went back into the form and did not do any changes but hit submit again. Apparently, that reset the date on the form so now on their end it shows as submitted on 6/11. I was told I should expect IV invoice around 7/12, or 30 days after I submitted the stupid form. The woman I spoke with made me wanna cry....At least, you folks, don't do what I did.

Called nvc

Iv is still not invoiced. Dude told me that it takes 30 business days from the 22nd
As for the aos they recieved an email on the 20th (which is when i emailed my aos) but my reviewed yet.
More waiting....



 

How come some people have DS261 complete and accepted on the same day and some are told there is a 30 business day review period? I am still waiting on a IV invoice which should come after DS261 is accepted, right? I completed DS261 on 5/12. Still waiting....

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

Hello all, I am here with yet another question. My application is still under process, i filled out my DS-260 in April. In the last week of May, me and my wife were blessed with a baby girl :) Now in the DS- 260 i have written i have no children, however the situation has changed now, do i jst explain this at the interview or do i have to notify the NVC? 

 

Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl!

 

I think you should be proactive with NVC and notify everyone and their dog of the birth of your baby girl, who by the way is a US citizen born abroad. The process for getting her US birth certificate from the US consulate is different and it may take few weeks. Call the US consulate and ask for the procedure and details on consular report of birth abroad. Check the info below if you haven't done so. Congratulations again!

I'm still waiting on the invoice for IV fee. Has anyone been waiting several weeks as well? Le sigh....

 

I completed DS 261 on 6/12 and still waiting for the IV invoice. Called NVC when 30 business days were up and was told it will take a little longer.

OMG! This pic TOTALLY made my day!!!! and I was feeling down because of a call I got from the congressman's office that had nothing remotely encouraging for me: my AOS checklist was received 7/21 and is not yet scanned, IV is not yet invoiced....30 business days are up tomorrow on the DS-261!!!!!

Yes, AOS packet was scanned 6/5 and I actually received a checklist for not writing N/A at Place of Residence (same as mailing address) ... I knew that was coming...

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

 

Saylin posted earlier as to why this is happening. It means they have approved your AOS packet, and so they send a checklist for the next thing in the IV track that hasn't been processed through their system. Even though you sent the DS-261 on June 11, it hasn't been reviewed yet, and so they still think it is outstanding. Just wait for the IV invoice and continue on your way. Congrats on the AOS packet being approved!

 

Thank you TM713. Makes sense what you said. I guess I missed Saylin's post about that...

Has this happened to anyone else? I received what i think is a false checklist yesterday asking for DS 261 Choice of Agent form to be filled out by the beneficiary. I filled this form back on 6/11. It shows it is completed on the website, and NVC agent confirmed it was received 6/11 and is now ?under review?. Then why the checklist?  Do they want people to resubmit and thus re-set the date for another 30-day count down?

Hi there! So, I've been to my doctor for a routine exam and I found out that I have a medical condition which would put me on a possible case expedite (I'm not in a life-dead situation, but I need to be followed constantly by a doctor, and this month I lost my job and with that my insurance in Brazil, but I have a good health insurance in the US due to my husband's job). Anyway, we're considering to send the documents to prove that and ask for an expedite, but in case they deny, would that make my case go slower?? Thanks and congrats to all the CCs!! I can't imagine the joy of it!

 

It will not delay your case if your expedite does not get approved. If I were you, I will request an expedite right away. I hope your health improves very very soon. Good luck!

Elinora it might sound absurd but I actually had a dream that u had a case complete :lol: Actually I dreamt that right before I woke up and I could swear that it wasn't a dream but then I looked over a few pages of the thread and saw no post of urs saying 'my AOS package has been approved' because that's what I saw in the dream :rofl: :rofl:

 

 

Reading your post samreen23 and really wanting to share a dream I had: I dreamt that a person at NVC told me interview is scheduled for September 10th. and I quickly asked: "This year?" and I woke up. :idea:

Hi, I have been lurking around this group for some time. My NOA1 was May 2013. Is there anyone else that is still trudging through this process from that far back? Looking at the spreadsheets it looks like no one is left from the summer. I have had no RFE or checklists and still I think I am way behind everyone else. Anyone else still out there?
