Ok so when i click dont have vaccination record why does it ask for an explanation? What should i write? Im clumsy?

 

the question was asked before and the answer given was:

it does not really matter since the beneficiary will  have all the vaccinations done during the medical.

if you prefer to answer "No", then for the explanation just put that vaccinations will be completed during medical exam.

it is not a show stopper

Haha nice work! I called them back and they gave me the invoice number, as well. They said they'll send an invoice e-mail in the next 5 days. Not sure if I'll be able to pay the fee before I get the e-mail, but I'll try. :)

 

Unless you have a lawyer, the first thing is the DS261 (choice of address and agent).

The emails are usualy 3 to 4 days late, So i would be checking the web site to ensure I'm not wasting time.

Wasted more than enough time at the USCIS and NVC stages so far!!!

I just called hoping for my case number to be assigned but unfortunately not yet.

The lady who answered was very nice and helpful. She even asked me if I had any other questions she could answer right now.

I think she was surprised that I knew so much about the process as I just asked her about the electronic processing emails and confirmations.

 

We have the same NVC received date.

I got my case # this morning! so hopefully you'll get yours sometime today!

call them again in couple of hours and hopefully your case # and IIN will be ready then.

Good luck!!!

You're welcome! I was actually on the phone with them, and I forgot to ask for the Invoice number lol I'll call again later today! 

 

I called after you shared your info and actually I got a case number also.

I did ask and they provided the IIN but they could not take the beneficiary's email address. They said the case was not fully in the system yet.

I was able to log-in into ceac.state.gov but could not do much since it is not ready yet.

Hopefully later on today!

I can't afford to waste anytime anymore! I'll be on top of the web site!!!!!

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

well, if my lawyer sends out the packages today, we are hoping to be done by the end of April too.  And if CR gives me a June interview, I plan on begging for a May slot !!   My husband said he only needs a week to get the medical, labs and xray. The police cert takes only a day.

 

I'm hoping for the same thing!

If we get delayed in the process and end up with with a Julu interview, I'll beg the embassy to move it to June!

How long does it take for D261 to be available once teh case # is assigned?

Lawyer responded just now...   "No Problem, we'll take care of it !"

 

 

hmmm,  maybe now  they realize I was right the whole time????    OMG  they better correct the error... 

Are you sure you needed a lawyer for this process?

you could've done better yourself!!!!!

Have just checked CEAC and my 130 file is in transit to the embassy in London!! It will take 2 days for it to arrive. Hubby has submitted the 260. Didn't have to pay the IV fee, yet. So you could say filing the 129 has helped my case to be expedited!!

 

Here you go! It worked for the best for you guys!

Good luck! you'll pay the fees and submit all the packets at the embassy the day of the interview!

Very happy for you!!!

Hello everyone I have a question. I made $ 18,385 last year, but this year I am expected to make $24,000 for this current year. Would I need a joint sponsor ? Or do U think I will be fine with providing paystubs and a employee letter ? For the AOS. Any advice will be helpful

I just checked the poverty guideline and I think you will need a joint sponsor since your last year income did not clear the 125% of HHS poverty limit!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-04-09 14:02:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

 

If you have an extension that'll last you through to the end of the process I think you'll be ok, unless you're perilously close to the income guidelines. I'd include 2014 pay stubs to be safe, and maybe the last one from 2013 to show your full year income.

 

I have an extension until October 2014.

My income is way above the limit. Thanks for the quick reply!!!

I just need to get a case # now!!!!!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-04-09 12:43:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

So,

Do we have a final call on 2013 taxes or not?

I already have an extension on file for 2013 taxes.

I will include 2010, 2011 and 2012 tax transcripts and an employment verification letter satating my annual salary.

Is this going to be a problem? should I go and file my 2013 taxes and then amend once my wife gets here and gets a SSN (I file as head of household anyway)?

 

Any takers on this?

OMG! Just got an email from London embassy telling me that as I have an approved I 130 they have requested my file from the NVC and an appointment for an immigrant visa interview will scheduled once the case has been received and processed. I was also asked to submit the ds 260 and advise them when it has been done. So I'm back on the cr1 path!

 WOW! BIG A$$ WOW!!!!!

I'm really sorry to hear that! you guys were so close!

But I hope things will go faster since half of the process is already done!

It will be good if NVC actually send the I-130 to the embassy for teh rest of the process!

It could be still a good thing!

 

Good luck you guys!!!!!!!!

As long as you are above the 125% poverty limit, you should be fine

MY DS260 is available  YAY ! ! ! !   I just want to go home now and call my husband to complete it and submit.  I CAN'T CONCENTRATE AT WORK TODAY !!!!

 

NVC said I do NOT need my divorce decrees in the IV package. I forwarded the message to the lawyers office since they are too busy to answer my call.   Why is it that I know more than they do and it is their profession?????  We should all work for immigration lawyers.

 

I'm really happy for you LoveMyTico!

I hope my case goes as fast once I get my case #!!!!!

I believe the IRS tax transcript site was discussed a bit in last month's thread, as I skimmed through this entire one again lol and didn't find the reference to it that I was looking for

- ie - my husband has not been able to order his transcripts online as it 'doesn't recognize his address/ it's not the address on file'.  So he had to order by phone/snail mail. 

Has anyone else had this happen or have any ideas as to why?  He hasn't moved anywhere since filing the I-130 last July, and his 2013 taxes have already been processed.. so they should have the proper address on file.

 

 

 

Soon, soon!

for the IRS website, they have some crazy requirements for the data fields.

You can try to input the same address in different ways: no commas, no special characters,... and it should work.

I had the same problem until I was able to find the right format and I created and login and a password.

  I just received notice yesterday that our I-130 was approved I was so happy then I came here and I'm depressed again.  OMG how long will it take!  :cry:

 

Oh yeah!

I was approved on Feb 26 and I still don't have a case number yet!

But once a case # is generated, things move faster!!!!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-04-09 08:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

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

GOOD LUCK NEIGHBOR ! ! 

 

I don't understand why they didn't just send your K3 out to the embassy.   All this time wasted for a case number... smh  You should have gotten a case number for both...  I really think it depends on who receives the cases and if they know what they are doing....    10 year NVC vet or 1 week newbie

 

Nothing yet! but thanks for the wishes!

They told me it could take the entire 30 business days period.

I'm at 21 right now!

For the K3, they keep on telling it is on admin. processing and of course no time frame!

 

I'm really getting fed up with all this!

 

I'm really having a hard time understanding where the NVC stands as far as the K3.

On Friday afternoon, I called them again and had a heated discussion with customer representative Joy. I told her from the beginning that I was not trying to give her a hard time, rather I was trying to actually understand what was going on.

She assured me that my K3 was not closed, but when I told her what other customer representative told me, she got mad at me and said that I already know everything and that I was not making sense bla bla bla bla..

Anyway, the emails I got from NVCExpedite said that it takes 2 - 4 weeks to process K3 at NVC before it is sent to the embassy. Customer service representatives tell me there is no time frame at all and my K3 is still undergoing necessary administrative processing.

I fell I'm back with the USCIS confusion again.

But anyway, my point to Joy was that when NVC receives I-129F and I-130 at the same time, they are both giving case # and then I-129F is then closed. but in my case, only the I-129F was giving a case number, and that's actually what got her to lose her cool.

I paid both of  mine on Saturday night... It was too easy to hand over money to the government. I didn't get any errors.  Waiting for those fees to clear and show PAID !  ! !!   I'm in a big big hurry... can you tell????

 

I wonder if the glitch in the computer is on purpose. Possibly to hold people off so they can keep up with the work flow??   Just a thought.

Anything is possible right now!

I called today again, no case # yet! it has been 20 business day so far! I wounder if they will take the entire 30 business days!!!!!!

Here is Saylin's case tracking sheet  showing who is being assigned case # add of today. 

Save your self a call and time,  by not calling too early in the game. 

 

https://docs.google....rowsperpage=250

 

I have filtered  the sheet with respect to nvc case # 

As you can see currently case no are being assigned to folks with NVC receipt date of March 5th.

 

* sorry for earlier messedup post , iam posting with mobile android swipe keypad resulting in abrupt self assigned words. 

 

 

 

So hopefully this week for us!!!!!

I just spoke to nvc agent,  they said my case# is still not available,  I guess I will have to wait. 

 

My I-130 was received at NVC the same day! we should tag along and compare progress!

I hope we get our case # this week (I think we should)!

Keep in touch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Mine took 23 business days... NVC receive: Feb28 Case # assigned: Apr 03.

If I remember correctly, i saw a member Eastyo  had case received on March 7 and case # Apr 04.

 

Keep calling daily.. preferably late in the evening.. I think you might just have your case # by end of week

 

Thanks B&G, so hopefully it will happen this week!

I'll call around 5 PM ET until I get the case #.

Can't think why they would be, there's no holiday and spring has finally arrived in New England so there's no weather issue either. I just tried calling and it rang endlessly, perhaps they're having some phone troubles. Try, try again... 

May be they got tired of people calling! LOL I'm one of the abusers, I call at least 3 times a day

I was wondering what the case number actually meant  so I went digging..     For your reading pleasure...

 

 

http://www.visajourn...umber/?p=533649

 

 

it actually makes sense.. the numbers work out for me. 

 

Sylvia (a supervisor at NVC) said that she will put in an "expedite request" for my K3 because it has been taking so long.

I hope it works.

Good luck!!!!!!!!!

I want to freeze one and bring it to my husband when I fly down for the interview  but I'm not sure it would be very appetizing .   I'm sure it would be ok to eat but it would probably look nasty  Unless I freeze the contents and just bring the roll separately.   Has to be an Amoroso roll or its not a Philly Cheesesteak.  Philly people understand what I mean !! Etrangais???  

 

I was going to comment on this!

Oh yeah, you have to have all the original ingredients for it to be a True Philly Cheesesteak.

 

I had a "Philly Cheesesteak" in St Louis MO three weeks ago, A cheesesteak with lettuce and tomatoe? what? I was like call it a cheesesteak not a PHILLY CHEESESTEAK! don't mislead your customers!!!!!!!
