That's the best part. Mailer ;)

Thats good. My last scann date is Sept 9th I'm hoping not to get another checklist. My mind has been so frazeled lately I keep wondering if I completed my checklist correctly. This whole process has me on pins and needles. I hope the NVC speeds up and we get a cc this month.

Dilmera on soloenta's thread posted that their AOS changed to n/a on Saturday but they will call on Tuesday to confirm Ofcourse. Their IV date is aug 27 :)

were they mailer or ep?

NVC scanned my IV documents on September 2nd

 

 

I am an EP filer and i can tell you we get processed similarly to the people who send their paperwork by regular mail. when you send by regular mail..you can track your papers, and then know when it reached them and then also get to know the scan date in a phone call. But when you do EP program this doesn't happen. IF you are LUCKY?then then send you an email, otherwise you had to wait and call everyday to find out if your packet is even in their system. This can take upto 2 weeks or longer. Apparently the customer service agents do not have the email information for about a week minimum. I sent my document on Oct 7, haven't got an email and it is not in their system?so i have to call them everyday until i know thy have it. 

 

As for processing, I know that is exactly the same?the only difference is?when you mail a package?say oct 1 -- they receive it oct 4 and scan it oct 7..thats your date?.so you loose maybe 6 days, but all throughout you know where your paperwork is. In EP if i mail my package on Oct 7, (this becomes my scan date), but I have to wait at least two weeks to even know if they have my email. And if not, then i have to send it again on say oct 21 and then date may become my new scan date. We don't get any special treatments.

 

regards

 

 

this person today has a scan date of sept 2 and has a cc he is ep and I have seen other situations like this for ep filers, so haw do you explain this, Im happy to see anyone get a cc but it should be fair

Last time I spoke to a rep at the NVC I ask if EP's were process differently than mailers. The rep swore that they were processed the same. Even when I told him I have seen EP's with later September scann dates get cc he said that maybe they are lying because they reveiw all the same way. We know that's not true. Even today on this thread there is a cc with a september scan date. Everything is scanned and done electronicly once it gets to the NVC so can someone olease explain to me the justification of EP members getting reviewed before us mailers?

Hi guys im here again to ask..

My AOS and IV Fee are both say PAY NOW.. does it mean i should pay both now? Thanks in advance

If it says pay now and it will allow you to do so then pay it. Just make sure and print your receipt.

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

I just called NVC and operator told me my case got completed on Oct 7. 

Now this is what he said or I misunderstood him...I will get CC e-mail in 5 business days if they are not able to schedule the interview in that time. When interview gets scheduled I'll get e-mail informing me about that. 

 

(If this is correct, i'm guessing what he was trying to say is, if they don't get my interview in this round while they are doing scheduling, then they will send CC email and I will wait for next scheduling time)

 

Does this make any sense? or I just didn't get what he was saying....

when was you last scan date?

The NVC rep told me on the phone that they finished reviewing my docs but they are missing my husbands i864 (for the second time bc i already got a checklist for this 3months ago). We have sent it. Does anybody have info abt this situation??? This will delay the case even more ...

They have most likely overlooked it. Call and demand to speak to a supervisor. Then give him/her the tracking info and be very ask that they look through your file again and insist that they have this information. They have a history of over looking documents.

i need some clarification please  
i sent my aos package august 22 and my iv package september 17 so anything from nvc   :clock:  and i dont know if they combine both of packages ?? and if they give CC after 60 days from aos (augus 22)?? please help me    thank you in advance

As of last Wendsday the NVC will review all documents together base on the most recent scan dates. So they will preview your packages 60 days from the September 17th scan date. I know it sucks for all of us.


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-09 13:20:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

any latest case complete? 

Maybe tomorrow things will pick up, please dear God!!!!    What could be slowing them down now?


 

A whole week for them to send an email...

Did you call them before and found out that your case was complete on Sep 30th? 

My AOS status changed to N/A today, but no e-mail yet. I will call them tomorrow to find out what is going on. 

 

Are they still scheduling interviews for November?

When was your last scan date?

Yesterday was slow but today I've only seen one cc for 8/18,you know everytime you start to hope a little the NVC pulls the rug right out from under your feet.

Yes you can pay now. I had paid mine right away and then filled the ds-260 online, signed and submitted. I dont see why you shld wait. Can anyone else help answer this? Doesbt hurt to have a second opinion :D

I think i saw one 8/22 CC

I hope you are right that would be great progress!!!

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

 

Agreed total and utter BS that means when they review my AOS/IV and there is something missing not right I have to wait another 60days for them to review. When you pay them money the account is almost instantaneously withdrawn from your account but when it actually comes to doing the work and having common sense they seem to be lacking a lot in that department.

 

At a minimum since they increased the fees the processing should be speeding up the processing not slowing it down... /end frustrated pissed off rant

It is total BS. I tried to speak to a supervisor about it twice and no one called back. This process has been so frustrating. My wife doesn't understand and its causeing a stress on our relationship. You would think they would give some consideration to those of us that are getting screwed over buy thier changes. And then today and EP member get CC with a sept scan date even though they swear they are reveiwing packages the same for mailers and EP. I find myself wanting to just block it all out. At other times I feel I'm going to go crazy if I can't be with my wife soon. I hope things speed up and no more check list. Good luck to all and God speed.

We are still battling NVC'c checklist mistake. I am hoping for a case complete by the end of the week, scan date Aug 13th. Please Lord, help us. I called today and at least they received our expedite request last Friday and are awaiting an answer from Belgrade.  :unsure:  :innocent:  :help:

I have an IV scan date 8/8 but I sent in a doc needed that was scanned on 9/9. Last week I called to see when my IV would be reviewed and I was informed that as of last Wendsday they are reveiwing all documents together on the most recent scan date. I was really down about this and called the next day and was told the same thing, so I see you have a scan date checklist in September so it will be until the last scan date before they review your paperwork. Unless the make more changes.

My bad. I get what you're saying. However, and no offense here, I think it's also the OP's duty to check on these simple things himself. I feel like more and more people just come here and ask questions without even reading Saylin's wiki (which thankfully contains all these helpful links) or going through the thread and looking for similar questions/problems. It blows up the thread unnecessarily.

 

 

 

Yay! I am very happy for you! You deserve it :)

PS: My husband still hasn't called NVC. So I think we have a CC, but don't know for sure.

congrats!!!!

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

I hope so Charlie because this wait time is so depressing, sometimes I feel stressed but I try to keep calm. I remember one operator telling me that if the documents were sent in separately then they would be reviewed separately. I don't know what to believe.

When I talked to the nvc operator Wendsday she said that this rule went in to affect that day. Before they look at them seperatly.


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-04 18:30:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

My  Aos scan date is August 5 and IV is September 3 and my documents still not reviewed yet, how much longer!

My Iv scan date is 8/8 but I sent in another form needed scan date 9/9. I called yesterday and the day before and both operators told me that everything would be reviewed together on the most recent scan date(9/9).


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-04 17:08:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

Thanks for the clarification
Exactly nvc is a mess...thats what you get if you follow the process...i dont understand if they can track packets then why not use the eatlier scan date the way they use for EP

I also asked about the EP processing and the operator swore that they process EP and mailers the same. When I said that I knew EP members who this week got CC with scan dates into Sept he told me that was not possible.


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-03 20:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

What is the lattest scan that they completed today???

8/14


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-03 19:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

Has anybody got any of the packages approved lately OR Is NVC reviewing both packages with the later scan date ..for eg if your 1 package has scan date in aug and 2 package scan date  sep  ...both the packages will be reviewed in september? Please share your experiences..

Yes, I spoke with an operator yesterday and today and both said that if more than one piece of mail waiting to be reviewed all would be reviewed on the most recent scan date. I also requested a supervisor to call me and I will confirm again when he/she does. My Iv scan is 8/8 and Aos checklist correction on 8/15 and on doc on 9/9. I was told nothing will be reviewed until 9/9. this could really prolong things for us if we were to get a checklist on our IV.


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-03 18:02:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

Hello

 

did they clarify whether they will scan packages based on their scan dates or both packages on 20 th Aug

 

Thanks

I spoke to NVC today and yesterday and was told both times that starting yesterday nothing would be reviewed until 60 days from your most recent scan date.


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-03 17:56:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

I asked if a supervisor would call me back on Wendsday and Thursday and have not received a call back yet. Do they ussually call back when a request is put in, and does it ussually take some time before they respond? Does anyone have any experience with talking to a supervisor at the NVC, both times I asked I was told none were availible?


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-03 13:25:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

Called NVC today... seems to be a slow day as I got through on the second try and only had to wait 20 minutes. Todd answered and sounded tired or bored. Our AOS packet was scanned August 4 and IV August 20. No update for us :( , but as I said, might be a good day to call!

Just for your info, I called yesterday (scan dates IV 8/8, AOS Checklist 8/15, and another doc on 9/9) and I was told that as of yesterday the NVC would only review doc on your most recent scan dates.


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-03 13:12:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

Does anyone know what scan dates are currently being reviewed?


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-02 17:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

oh you will get a cc next week!! :)

Though I sent in my IV on 8/8 and my AOS checklist correction on 8/15 I also sent in one document on 9/9. I just got off the phone with an operator who informed me that as of today the NVC will be reveiwing all documents together base on the last scan date they have . So my IV and checklist will not be looked at until they get to the date of my last doc 9/9. Which also means that if I have a checklist on the IV pkg I sent in on 8/8 I will not know until 9/9. What a crock. They are free to change the rules in any way they want. This just seems so unfair.

Thanks Charlie... Its been a stressful day and last night breaking the news to my hubby was just horrible but after going crazy at my attorney today she came to my work with the '' Fixed '' Aos for me to sign and will overnight it to Nvc.. Hopefully I get a scan date soon and finally get a cc and praying there is nothing wrong with the '' Gross amount '' that part still confusing..... did you hear anything on yours?

Nothing yet, they must not be looking at everything scanned. My IV scan is 8/8, but I got a checklist for my AOS scanned on 8/15. I requested yesterday for a supervisor to call but have not heard from anyone.


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-02 14:59:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

my scan date was 8/8 for both aos and iv, I got a checklist for the aos only and it shows two errors that my attorney made first one is

 

Part 3 Item 7 -- Enter the total of Immigrants you are sponsoring .. She left this blank  :cry:

 

2nd part and the one I'm still confuse about..

Part 6 Item 13 a.1 and it says exactly this

"The income you enter must match the total (gross) income reported on your most recent Federal income tax return. If you filed Form 1040EZ, use the adjusted gross income instead."

 

what is the total amount that need to go in that form? My attorney say she fixed it but I just don't know anymore.. I had file with w-2 and 1040 form only in 2013 ....


I just got a checklist on this... I'm so confuse also on that part... :(


keep your chin up and get those corrections in asap, at the rate the NVC is going lately maybe it won't take so long for them to get back to your paperwork. 


I have been trying to call NVC for an hour, but no such luck. Is anyone else experiencing problems? It's not even giving me a busy signal, but just doesn't work. I have made sure my phone works and its fine calling anyone else. 


Hahaha, nevermind. As soon as I asked it went through! Magic ;)


Yesterday it took 41 calls back to back for me to get through.

mine only has 13.a.1 and it says I put the wrong income. I looked at my tax returns and its correct so I'm calling. Still waiting...25 mins so far

I got a checklist for the same thing a month ago. Its a common mistake. The wording in the instructions confused me.


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-01 17:03:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

I got a checklist too. 

 

It says I did 13.a wrong and I know I didn't. Im calling now. What do you guys think? Is this always a real checklist?

Ask them if they have looked at your IV package yet and let us know.


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-10-01 16:33:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

Ohhh nooooo I'm about to cry I just got a checklist!!! Not sure I inderstand it but I knew my attorney had done something wrong...

I'm so sorry to hear that. Get on top of it as quickly as you can. At this point its just another step towards CC. Make sure it's not a fake checklist.

I love how efficient NVC is. Spoke with Gus and he basically said that although the email says they sent it out, nothing has been sent out and the AOS fee has not been processed. Said my case was still in its opening days, that he was sorry but that I needed to wait up to 20 business days for AOS. 

Sadly enough this is so typical for the NVC. I remeber when my AOS fee was in process of becoming availible, I sighned in to check for it and the site said " your application is being TERMINATED" I was in the Philippines at the time visiting my wife and freaked out. After a exspensive call to the NVC I was informed nothing was wrong and my invoice should be availible soon. This has been a roller coster ride.

Oh god... Not good at all, I think I have a problem. Haha thanks!!

lol I heard you! I'm so tired at this point off this process.. I honestly though this was the easy, faster part it had turn out to be a nightmare.. No updates as off yet.. :(

After talking to an operator today I put in a request for a supervisor to call me back. I havn't heard from one yet but when I do hopefully he/she can clear up some of the confusion.

does anyone knows if the ceac website updates just once a day or several times a day.. I can't help myself and I keep checking every hour or so waiting to hopefully change to n/a

My case updated once at 6:30 pm and I have gotten e-mails mid day to after midnight. I doubt if anyone knows. The NVC is like the Masons, so much mystery about how they work. Someone should produce a movie "The many mysteries of the NVC" LOL I have to laugh to keep from crying at this point.
