my packages were received on the 15th and 18th and they aren't up to those dates yet. I was hoping for an April CC too but Obviously  its May now.

Yeah, it sucks but I guess we only can wait now!!!!!!!!!!!

How far are they right now?

what dates are they reviewing?

I was so hoping to get a case complete before the end of April, but I guess I made some good progress for now!

Still a tiny window of hope for a June interview!!!!!!!

Good luck all!!!!

lol yeah, so I paid $33 to express mail my IV packet on Friday, and, of course, it didn't get there until Monday! but, at least it's there. when did yours get in?


I've got to NVC Friday at noon for only $19.99 with usps. Overnighted Thursday at 05:23 PM

Is the NVC moving pretty fast on case completes, or is it just me?

 

I wish!  I think it is just you!!! :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

 

Just kidding!!!

this may be embassy specific - but if you are assigned an interview date, could you call and ask to see if there are any cancellations to get an earlier date?

 

I am planning to do that as soon as I get the magic words "Case Complete".

Pretty sure the answer will be NO but I will still try !!!!!!!!!

you are exactly 4 days ahead of me. I should track your progress and that will give me a good idea about what/when to expect CC.

Good luck

Is it too early to call and check on a CC? What time does NVC's workday end?

They stop at 05:00 PM eastern time.

Customer service stays open till midnight

Hmm, that's very weird. That's the first I've heard of a consulate/embassy keeping civil documents after an approved interview...

 

I think they do it that way since it is VERY EASY to get all the documents in Morocco: birth cert, PCC, Court cert, mattr of couple of hours. 3 days for PCC


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-04-29 13:18:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

 

They keep the originals/certified copies? Are you sure? I've never heard of that in my 4 years here...  :huh:

 

Believe me! I'm talking from experience! they keep everything and give back the marriage certificate only!!!!!!


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-04-29 12:56:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

 

Uhh, they return everything except the PCC. They don't keep the birth certificate  :no:

In Casablanca, they only return the marriage certificate and they keep the rest.

:oops:  :oops:  :oops:


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-04-29 12:52:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

just to confirim -- you get your original docs back after the interview, right?

Some of them, like marriage certificate, but not the PCC or birth certificate

Hi everybody,

An update on my K-3. I just called NVC and they received my case from Texas Service Center.

Sandy (lovely, patient lady) gave me my case, IID and Beneficiary #'s! I asked her what comes next. She said in 3-4 days start logging onto the embassy's website in Cairo to see if they received my case. She indicated that my file was being mailed out today! 

Now i have no idea what this all means since my i-130 hasn't even been looked at yet. I'm hoping my K-3 gets to Cairo quickly and an interview gets scheduled before they touch the I-130. However, Sandy said sometimes they will pull the I-130 to pair it up and send it to Cairo as well. And according to her, since my K-3 has already been approved there is nothing that should keep my I-130 from getting approved.

So long story short, at the very least I am thinking that inshallah my I-130 will be approved much sooner than i thought and I shaved off a couple months off the wait.

If that's what happens, then my advice to anyone wondering if the 1-129 K-3 is worth it???.YES ABSOLUTELY!

 

Salam,

If the I-130 is still with USCIS then your I-129F will make it to the embassy and will be processed.

We have here a case of a member with K3 also. The K3 made it all the way  to the embassy, medical done and all and then the K3 was closed because they found out the I-130 was at NVC.

In your case, if the I-130 is still not approved by USCIS, the K3 should go through in chaa Allah!

Good luck

So close yet so far away!

The wait for a "Case Complete" is very painful!!!!! almost as painful as waiting for NOA2 when I was transferred to Nebraska BS Center!!!!!!!!!!

Oh believe me, my wife is ready!! Lol. Already has AOS package and IV package done! 


 

Thanks Collie. Glad you finally got case complete for your parents!! 


That's what I'm talking about!!! Good luck!

Finally! I now have case number for my wife! They just assigned it today. Now the wait for my invoice to become avail so i can pay it! Tick Tock..i will be watching all day for it. That's the first i heard about NVC not needing passport photos! I wouldnt believe that, send it anyway. You can have your significant other get a digital photo and email to you and you get them printed. Happy Day!

 

Have your AoS and IV packages ready and send as soon as you pay and money is debited from your account!

This will save you couple of days!

I personnaly did not wait, I sent the packets as soon as I paid the fees (had a 2 day delay with IV packet for the PCC, had to wait for it).

 

Good luck

IV package scanned into the system today. AoS package scanned into the system on 22-Apr-2014.

Ok then, hoping for a soon Case Complete.

Good luck to all

Hey guys - I recently paid my AOS fee Thursday night and it's still showing as In process today even though my bank account shows that the money has been withdrawn.  I checked this afternoon and my IV processing fee has the yellow triangle icon to the left but when i click "pay" there is no fee for me to select.  My DS-261 is showing as complete and not accepted.  What does this all mean?  Am I safe to send in my AOS packet and put together my IV packet now?  

You are fine sending the AoS packet now that you have the bar code sheet.

For the AoS fee, I had the same problem with my IV fee and called NVC about it. the customer service lady I spoke with me asked me to send an email to NVCInquiry@state.gov explaining the issue and attaching a screen shot of your bank statment showing the mony was debited from your bank. I did that and the status of the IV fee flipped from IN PROCESS to PAID within 2 hours. It was stuck in IN PROCESS for 4 business days, so I'm not sure if the email did it or if it was time for it to be completed. You can go ahead and try, nothing to lose!!

Good luck

Happy Monday everyone. Quick question. My husband's police certificate is in Arabic and I have to get it translated. Does the translation need to be certified/notarized?

 

The translation copy has to show info about the translator, that he is in fact knowledgable and capable of translating from Arabid to English.

I know the US embassy in casablance Morocco REQUIRES the translation to be done by a translator from Morocco.

Good luck!!!

Good afternoon everyone,

 

Quick question..I am scanning all of my IV and AOS documents into a pdf, but some of my documents are rotated wrong.  I am trying to rotate them, but when I save it doesn't save the changes.  I was told that you can't save changes into adobe reader, does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?

 

Thank you!

 

You can always make a copy of the back of a document (if it is on both pages) and then scan only one side.

This way you can rotate them any which way you want before scanning!!!

Good luck

I called NVC today and talked to... Guess who? Mrs Joy.

I think she is a changed woman: Now she sounds very nice on the phone and very pleasant.

I'm wondering, may be someone from VJ told her about this thread and how she was ranked, hmmmmmmmmmm getting paranoid now? do we have an NVC spy amongst us?????


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-04-28 12:04:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

   Ok confused again, who makes the interview schedule NVC or the Embassy?  I thought the Embassy sent NVC their schedule and NVC doles it out?  Someone know?   Ok going to try to sleep an hour will check back later.   Much luck and prayers to all of you waiting for good news for case complete etc. (F) (F)  If you don't get it today then tomorrow. :)

 

The embassy gives NVC their availability and the NVC schedules accordingly! (at least in most cases)


etrangaisMaleMorocco2014-04-28 09:14:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

when submitting the IV package to NVC, should I write the case number on the forms like for the AOS?  Can't seem to find the answer.  I am just about ready to send out the package but want to make sure about this.

 

Thanks!

 

 yeap, on the upper right side corner! just like for the AoS.

Good luck

case number assigned 04/18, 261 done, but still can not pay AOS, does it take this long to pay it?thanks

You will get an email teh minute the AoS fee is ready to be paid.

It took me a week between case # assigned and AoS fee invoiced.

Good luck

Hey guys - I know Saylin's wiki says DO NOT leave fields blank and to mark them as N/A or None where appropriate, even though the instructions says to leave it blank.  What did everyone do?  Did you get a checklist for leaving fields blank?

 

I wrote N/A in most of the spaces. Waiting to see what happens next!!!!!!!

That's so strange.. I only received 1 email form them and it was the one that told me my bills were available to pay.  I never received anything regarding my K3. Not that it really matters. I guess they pick and choose who gets the emails

They just started answering the zillion emails I sent them asking them to process the K3.

A little late, don't you think?

WOW  Congrats !!

 

Did you receive the email today or was it sitting in your inbox from yesterday?   Just trying to get an idea whether the NVC processors are working today ....  I know the phones aren't open  but maybe they are chipping away at the backlog !

 

I hope you hear something soon!!!!
