The NVC sent me an email advising it was approved. When I called the NVC they told me they had just sent my case to the embassy in Belgium.

Congrats!! If you don't mind sharing, what were your ground for the expedite, I have been desperately trying to fit into their criteria :) Congrats again.

 Thank you :)  I have basically been running both households with my income since December 2013. The story is more in depth than that but that is the main point.  I doubted they would approve my situation but I am grateful that they did. If you have an issue ask for the expedite! All they can do is say no.

Hello everyone!  I received a notice today that the NVC has approved my expedite. I sent in the email to the wrong email address 2 weeks ago. I resubmitted the request to the proper email address (only after I saw Saylin post the correct email address in this group) 3 days ago and this morning I received the notice that it was approved!  I am shocked!

I know! This is my first piece of luck in a process that has been completely heartbreaking. My heart (and indignation) goes out to those of you waiting since June. Please know I wish you all the best! And if you haven't, get your Senator involved; it can't hurt...

 

Also, who even knows, I'll believe it when I can actually make the payment...

Glad to hear you were finally able to pay it!!  :)

Hey there, 

 

I received my case number June 24th and it couldn't log in until July 10th. Hang in there.

I posted the following on the VJ forum , but no response (yet)
Can anyone help me with my question

Im really confused about part 6 on the I-864

in part 6 , item number 5 i have to put my current individual annual income.

then on item number 6 it says income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household.
wich is no one. , so i left al the fields blank.

but .......... when i look at the instructions of the I-864
it says on item number 6 "this section is used to determine the sponsor's household income. take your annual individual income from item number 5 and enter it under number 6.c

then when you look at item number 10.
it will say My current individual household income ( total all lines from 5 , 6.c , 7.c , 8.c and 9.c. will be compared to poverty guidelines

now this doesnt add up because then i count my income twice .. on number 5 and number 6.c ????

how am i suppose to fill this out ???

















 

This is how I did it...

 

In part 6 item number 5 I looked at my pay stub. I took my Gross income and multiplied it by 26 (I get paid every other week).  ex. 1500.90 x 26

 

I put N/A in every single blank field!

 

Number 10 should have the same figure that part 6 number 5 has if it is just you and hubby/wifey.  If you have no one else in your household 6c should have n/a in it.

We have very similar timelines. (With you as well Married4Life) My AOS packet should be arriving today, I overnighted it on Friday as soon as the AOS bill showed as paid.  The three of us should keep each other updated on when IV fee becomes available, etc. Good luck to you both!

 

 

Yes! Great idea :)  Good luck to you too!

Yes we are.. My husband did the I-864 just praying its ok and no checklist :clock:

 

I will keep my fingers, eyes, and toes crossed for you , ok? :)

There's a specific email address for expedites at NVC. It's in the wiki ;)

 

 

Oops!  NVCExpedite@state.gov  :)

 

Thanks Saylin!


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-14 11:27:00

yes have hoping my packing will arrive today.

 

Hoping I wont get a checklist.

 

fingers crossed IV bill will be generated soon.

 

 

Ok so we are both in the same place as far as the processing goes. That I-864 was a real treat to fill out , wasn't it. lol. I put N/A in EVERY blank so no checklist here for that! haha.  


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-14 11:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - July 2014

Could someone please tell me if there are any circumstances under which one can expedite there case to the nvc? And what's the procedure to expedite it?

 

 

Email nvcinquiry@state.gov  and put your case number in the subject line.  I sent a request in 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything. I read they only expedite in life or death situations but who knows ;)


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-14 11:19:00

Odd, when I log into CEAC it says *pay now* for both fees but when I try to pay the IV fee there isn't a total. Are they inputting it or have they tricked me? lol

When I log in to pay the AOS fee I am getting the "this case is in the process of termination message".  That's ok, right? I remember seeing someone else post it on VJ but I can't find it. 


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-10 10:54:00

Mine was generated June 30th. Some have taken 10 business days, 11 business days, and 18 business days. This is for some Canadian VJ members.

I have not gotten access yet. I'm hoping by Friday or ealy next week. Fingers crossed.

 

 

I got my numbers on the 24th and was able to log in yesterday. Hang in there!  It won't be long now :)

How long has it been taking everybody to receive the e-mail and ability to pay the AOS fees? I got my case and invoice number generated on the 27th of June... and still nothing!

 

Hang in there! My number was generated the 24th of June and this morning I was able to log on and fill in the DS-261 :)  I haven't received the email. I just kept checking the site 50 times a day.

  Great, screwed twice once at USCIS and then again at NVC, lovely.  Thank you for the information Married4Life it helps see

there is nothing we can do. :) (F) (L) (F)

 

 

Yep. My husband asked me today if I would be interested in moving to Belgium for a few years. I'm giving it some serious thought...and not just because process times are insane.

NVC's Kim Kelly on I-130 backlogs: our intake of petitions jumped from 6k per WEEK to 22k per DAY due to USCIS I-130 repriortization.

 

It's gonna be a while.

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

I'm really quite shocked NVC is moving so slowly. They have had my file for a month to the day and I can't pay my AOS fee yet. 

 

I didn't expect this to happen but it is what it is ...right...

I don't see how I can continue on with the AOS track because I can't access any forms or make any payments yet.

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

I am not able to log into the online forms portal at all but I CAN log into the payment portal. It says it has not been invoiced yet. I received my case number June 24th. It seems like this is pretty common now :(


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-02 11:31:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - July 2014

It seems like you are right! I called the NVC and spoke with Mel and he said that now we have to wait for the email to proceed.


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-02 11:24:00

Upon noticing the N/A change on AOS fee, my wife and I were ecstatic to call and confirm our NVC case complete today! We're SOOOO HAPPY!!!! :D

 

Any NZ filers waiting on or have any idea how long it takes to get an interview date?

Congrats to you!


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-02 10:27:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - July 2014

Thanks Rlelle. I did go to ceac website.

 

I first tried to access the DS261 form. I entered my Case number and IIN number and it gave me this message:

 

"Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time. if you believe that you have received this message in error."

 

 

But then I went to the Fee payment section and entered the pertinent information -- I could log into it, and it open it up. The AOS section has the petioner's name listed but the fees is not listed and it says NOT INVOICED and i cannot select it. 

 

So i guess I just have to wait for the NVC to send us an email. Oh well. 

 

Thanks for all your help. I do really appreciate it.

 

PS: are you doing EP or regular mail to send your documents?

 

I just checked mine and it says *not invoiced* as well. Just a few more days I'm sure so hang in there :)


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-02 10:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - July 2014

They have been "inputting" my case for a week now and they told me I can't access the site until I receive an email. :(  I've tried logging in but no luck yet. 


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-01 10:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - July 2014

I received mine in 12 business days, but cannot log in to do ANYTHING. I called NVC this morning and was optimistic since I did not have to wait on hold, I got right through. The operator caught me off guard, I wasn't ready!! Lol! She then informed me that the reason I can't log in, is because they have not communicated with me through email yet.

 

 

This is true for me too!  I have had my case number since June 24th and I can't log in either. 


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-01 08:08:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - July 2014

Did you all have documents translated to English? I saw that they can be in the "official language of the country"....is this true? My husband is from Belgium and all of his paperwork is in Dutch.


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-06-30 23:41:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - July 2014

Hello! My husband and I were approved by the USCIS on June 25th, so should we call sometime this week to make sure NVC receives our case? Or will they let us know when they get it? Also, I guess we have to wait a month from when they get it until we get the case number? Or can we do the trick like the guides say and keep calling and hassling them?

I don't know why but for some reason this step seems more confusing than the last. 

 

I would definitely call this week to see when they received your case! They won't let you know, so put their number on speed dial! :)

 

This step is intimidating to me too and I'm not sure why. This should be a breeze compared to putting that I-130 package together!

I am glad you got your numbers! Are you able to log in or make payments now? I posted a longer question above about my situation, but after getting my numbers from the operator, I still can't do anything on the website. Just wondering if that is anyone else's case as well. Thanks!

 

 

Thank you :) I just tried to log in and I can't yet. I will try again in the morning.

My priority date is Jan 9th and still waiting.

I would say around November, December is when you should expect an approval if your file does not get expedited or somehow luck out. Keep in mind after the approval their is the NVC process within is taking about 2-3 months now.

 

 

NVC is taking even longer than that!  They have had my file over a month- since June 4th and I can't pay my AOS fee yet. I received my case number on June 24th. I am so anxious and just want this process over with already. At this rate I will be lucky to get him home by our 1st Anniversary which is Nov. 8th.
