That has been the trend so far, however case completes last week really encouraged me!

 

Sent 11th; Logged on the 18th - Case complete 28th

Sent 10th; Logged: (17th maybe?) - Case complete 27th

 

 I am thinking we might get it on the 3rd or the 4th :secret:

 

Btw, is there an VJ anonymous thread anywhere; I am seriously addicted  :no:

 

mine was received by them on 13th and logged on 18th  

and i got CC on last friday 

 

so they are most likely processing files on 13th/14th

I sent it on the 6th they logged it in their system on the 12th and 27th it has been completed. 

 

Any idea how long till my wife will have to go to the interview in mumbai or till they send me the date of interview? or in India.

Thanks for reply

ok nice  i sent mine on 11th but they logged it on 18th. 

 

might take a week or so to find out on interview date.

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

 

I got a checklist today no case complete :(

 

But, I have seen other checklist and they have "x" on it, mine does not have that. This is requesting police clearance certificate. But, in India the mumbai counsulate also requires a PCC that too original. My uncle has filed for his daughter and he didn't send one in, yet he got a letter stating we will now schedule your interview but the same thing as me at the bottom. He also had other sponsor related stuff that had "x" on it. 

 

Does this mean my case will not move forward until I present the PCC or is it processing smoothly? Here is how it looks. 

 

Please help! onthe call with NVC hold music :(

 

______10 - PASSPORT POLICE CERTIFICATE:____________________________
Indian Police Clearance Certificates should be obtained as follows:
? All Indian IV applicants aged 16 and above, residing in India, should obtain police
certificates from the local Passport Office.
? Indian passport holders applying for visas outside India should obtain a statement from their
local embassy or consulate confirming they have no criminal record.
? Non-Indian IV applicants residing in India should obtain police certificates from the District
Police Station serving their area of residence.
? Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) applicants applying
outside India.

 

 

You will get a interview date and you will have to bring the PCC and give it during the interview

Question: So if i get a case complete around April 15th, when can expect an interview?

Posts from yesterday on this thread or something different? I'm trying to look for those posts...lol

 

Thanks! 

 

-K

post on this thread, (nvc march 2014) post from yesterday, 3 people said that their packages were reviewed who had their AOS or IV logged into system around march 6th and 7th

mine was sent on 13th and logged by nvc on 18th  

keeping fingers crossed  :clock:  :clock:  :clock:


rickkantMaleIndia2014-03-25 17:12:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

Ah, the famous wait 30 business days line :-)

 

I think it should be really soon for the AOS review, saw someone with a date of submit close to yours that was accepted recently. They have been doing a pretty awesome job as of late, we have pretty conclusive evidence now that they are working OT and Saturdays. Saw someone with a case complete on Sat!

 

I haven't had a chance to call since I sent it in, plan to call later in the day when they free up a bit. I was hoping to hear that AOS review was done, but guess not. 

 

Hope you get movement soon, good luck!

 

yes agreed, they are moving very quick, 

according to posts from yesterday they are currently reviewing packages from the 7th of this month. which is quick

Shortly after my call, received the following false check list by email:
"The National Visa Center received your DS-260 form. We are waiting for the traveling applicants supporting civil documents to be submitted to the NVC. Your online Immigrant Visa Application will be reviewed upon receipt of your supporting documentation."
What kind of sadists run this process? Every time they review a document do they have to generate a check list (sometimes real, sometimes false)to keep us guessing?

keep us updated, my time line is only few days behind u . 

thanks 

 

Case complete! Today. Took 17 days from AOS submission for approval and 17 days from iv package it was approved. Sooooooooo freaking excited I can hardly stand myself!!!

Thanks for update, congrats 

 

Let me dance first!dancin5hr.gif guess what?! CASE COMPLETE!!! as of March 20.We just got off the phone with NVC and the rep. finally said the magic word that we've been waiting for!The rep. also said that they are just waiting for the available slots at US Embassy Manila for them to send in my case file.I'm so happyyyyyyyyyyy!!!To all the VJ members thank you and especially to Mrs. Saylin who really is a big help through our  journey!

congrats bro, thats nice

Hi..

Are you feeling Joint or separate tax return ?

 

My accountant did same thing ..

I put my tax return on hold until I do not find correct answer for it.

But I was thinking to put NRA in stead of Applied for.

NRA?? 

let me know 

thanks 


rickkantMaleIndia2014-03-19 21:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

the plan is to pursue the K-3. I already waited so long, I am not in the mood to wait at the NVC. Hopefully the K3 gets a case number and flies to CR before they even know my I-130 exists at the NVC.   I couldn't care less about the adjustment fee when he gets here. I'm more concerned about the lost time and the time I still have to wait for the waiver ( that we can't even file til after his interview)   I'm no spring chicken.  Time is a ticking !!

 

 

of course that is only a "plan"  nothing ever works the way you want it when you are dealing with Immigration. 

Congrats, finally NOA2

Nice to see u in NVC forum, 

goodluck

Last night at 1:12 in the morning I received a false checklist for my IV package. Even though I read it and realized it was false I still had the most awful feeling in my stomach. Why do they do this to us?!?!?! It's so stressful. LOL! Hope this will mean case complete very soon! smile.png

false checklist because they logged ur iv package into their system or was it reviewed that quick??

File as MFS for now, then amend to MFJ once your spouse has immigrated and has gotten a SSN.

Perfect idea, i will try for w7 but if it does not then i will just file as MFJ and later amend , like u said 

thanks 


rickkantMaleIndia2014-03-13 22:12:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

 

If you can't give any documentation listed in the W7 instructions, then just file as MFS.

thanks for reply, Saylin

if i do that, i end up paying a lot of taxes, if i fill jointly then i would save a lot. 


rickkantMaleIndia2014-03-13 22:01:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

 

You can expedite to process if you do as I did. My Accountant is a  Acceptance Agent (AA) authorized by the IRS.

They took the W-7 and my wife (beneficiary) documentation  and faxed it directly to the IRS.

Given the current delays with processing returns it was the quickest path to still be able to E file.

 

thanks for reply

i will look for a AA agent also

one more question.

i was planning on sending my wife passport copy from passport office 

but in India its pain in butt, we have called the passport office 4 days straight and no one picks up phone, process is very slow there

 

on the form W7 it says i can send some USCIS documentation , do u know what type of info that would be ?  (noa2 notice ???)

 

Saylin can u also guide me in this please, 

I cant do driver licence, since its still showing her old name, 

 

let me know, thanks 


rickkantMaleIndia2014-03-13 21:54:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

 

You send the entire tax package with the W7 to a specific address for ITIN generation. Once the ITIN has been generated, they'll forward it to the main IRS department and they'll process your tax return as normal. During that, you will get a paper with the ITIN, but you don't need to do anything with it; it's just for your records.

Thank you Saylin, dancin5hr.gif

also i got invoiced for iv yesterday and paid, finally iam moving again after more than 5 weeks being stuck dancin5hr.gif dancin5hr.gif


rickkantMaleIndia2014-03-13 14:16:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

 

Great post...some E file systems don't interface like this and force you to paper file or file W-7 to get ITIN to E file
 

hi, need help

 

Iam was going to file married filling separate but realized if i file married jointly i will save a lot of money more than 2k

so my wife is sending me W7 signed and copy of passport from issuing place,

 

this w7 , do i insert in my income taxes, 

or do i send it to a certain place and they will assign a number and give me paper conforming and i use that paper for filling tax return

 

which one is correct, 

please let me know 

thanks

Rickkant, we are on the same boat. Did u request for supervisor's review when u called NVC? How did u do that?

it was recommend by  NLR, thanks to him 

 

I tried 4 times before the 5th person was nice and realized that its more than 5 weeks and i have not received my invoice

and he said he will put a supervisor review on my case. 

 

few times earlier i called they said iam not eligible for this review, and few operators said i will get it soon.

 

I don't know how this supervisor review works but hopefully i get invoiced soon. 

I will keep u posted on this forum. 

but its really frustrating when everyone gets invoiced and mine does not flow like other peoples progress. 


rickkantMaleIndia2014-03-10 18:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

 

Dude i got it after 3 weeks.

 

 

Whatttt?but i read some post here that after urs have thier iv's alrady invoice.how come yours not thats too long did u call nvc already what did they tell u?sorry for that:(

 

iam more than 5 weeks now and still no iv

i called nvc just now and they will make a supervisor review it, hopefully soon i should get mine 

 

thats the only thing which is holding me from a case complete

my aos was accepted long time ago

Still waiting for iv from feb 5th.
rickkantMaleIndia2014-03-10 08:52:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

 did you call NVC for that? wow 5 weeks is really a loooong time for an IV bill. hope we don't need to wait that long.

 

Ms. Saylin would it have a problem if I didn't put my husbands complete name on my DS-261. its just his first and last name.

 

i call everyday, since its more than 1 month, 

they have different answers everyday, but the most common is that they have backlog, and too many petitions getting sent to NVC,

wait for few more days,

so tired of this nonsense.

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

Well good news I guess NVC received our case on 3/3/14 no case number assigned as of yet.  This process is seriously daunting and confusing so please bear with me if my questions seem a little stupid but I have read through the 1st & 2nd posts of this string and I'm a bit lost.

 

1) Once I get my assigned case number is that when I provide mine and my husbands email addresses over the phone?

2) Do I have to wait for the paperwork to be mailed to me to initiate the process of making my fee payments?

3) I have read several posts about side loading the cases before they go to the designated embassy some say its bad some say it's good.  I'm just wondering have things changed here recently that I should reconsider sending phone records and such to the NVC.

 

Thanks in advance!  

Oh and can someone tell me how to do the signature thing so that I can show my time line goofy.gif

Read saylins post 1 and 2, it has all info for question 1,2

 

for signature 

go to ur profile 

click edit my profile 

click signature,

this is the place u create and modify from now on. 

 

then save 

 

thanks

This is getting ridiculous. last week they said 10 biz days after DS-261 submission to get IV fee invoice. Now they say 10 to 15 biz days.

 

next week they will say 15 to 20 biz days. JUST PATHETIC!!!!! ranting33va.gif

 

i got the same reply too, days keep on getting more and more, 

 

today is exactly 1 month since i filled ds261 and still no IV , 

Really frustrating 

Hey, broken record here! We filled in our choice of agent form on 7th Feb and still our IV fees have not been invoiced. Called NVC three times and they are no help, just keep saying to wait. Are others in the same position or are we an anomaly? What is the hold up? Thanks

 

Same here, still same for last 1 month , still no IV fees.
