National Visa Center (Dept of State)Couple of DS230 Questions
QUOTE (esmp @ Apr 6 2008, 04:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
We have decided that enough is enough waiting and have decided to go with The Shortcuts, so I am playing catch up!
Just finishing off the DS230 but re question 23 on schools attended I didn't goto University and finished education at highschool level. Do I list this? As the question asks for degree or Diploma I thought that maybe they were looking for University?

Next question would be 25 "all previous visits" REALLY!? Do they mean holidays, trips when I was 17? I have no idea of these dates (never thought I would need them!). Am I reading this wrong? If this info is required can anyone suggest where I would get it from (I don't have the same passport so can't check stamps!)

Advice appreciated.

Thank you

Emma



I know, all visits to the USA!!! I just put the ones that are currntly on my ppt, and left it at that...I have family over in Amreica who I visitied nearly every summer until I was around 19, so there's no way I can put all that on there! I just put the last three visits...I'm still waiting to hear its all ok, so will let you know!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Change interview date?
Hello all

I was wondering...is it possible to change your interview date to an earlier one? I have been assigned an interview on June 5th, but I would like to get it done with sooner. Is this possible? Who do I call if it is?

I'm still waiting for the official letter, as I called the NVC who informed me that a date had been assigned, and they will be sending a letter out shortly.

Thanks

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC???
Now it states my DS-261 is incomplete, despite completing it, receiving a message stating that it can no longer be amended and receiving an e-mail saying my DS-261 has been submitted. I can still go in and amend it???

So my hubby paid the $88, it's come up as paid. I completed the DS-261, it's got my hubby's contact details on it. I guess we'll wait until the IV fee is available and he's in the process of completing the I-864. Thanks for information.

in the payment portal,
are instructions / links for what's next and what to do.
 
if yer USCitizen Spouse is not clicking on things, I not know what to tell you.



Clicking on things???? It's ok, we got this.

 
Did you filed the DS-261 (Choice of Agent)?  You can access it through https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/  the actual name of the form is DS-261, Online Choice of Address and Agent.  Basically it tells NVC who they should be sending communications to.  Most people select the petitioner in the US.  It should take a couple of days for the DS-261 to be processed.  Once processed the Immigrant Visa fee is invoiced an an option to pay the Immigrant Visa fee is available online at the same place that you paid the AOS fee.  Once the Immigrant Visa Fee is paid then the DS-260 (the actual application) becomes available.  
 
At this stage you can file the Affidavit of Support package, which includes the cover sheet that you can get from where your receipt is online, an I-864 (you can get that from USCIS website), and supporting documentation to show the petitioner (and join sponsors, if needed) can support the intended immigrant.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC???
I understand I don't need to wait for instructions from the NVC, I'm asking if they will send info? I mean suppose I didn't have access to this site how would I know what happens next, as in do they actually send info detailing this? The reason I ask is because my husband is dealing with all of this and he isn't on this site. Seems like he's decided to wait on hearing from the NVC, I'm just hoping they do send him some info, I'll guess he'll call if he doesn't hear from them.

Thanks for your help.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC???

Not sure how different Egypt and the United Kingdom are but my fiance got his police report after our case was sent to the Embassy. He has to send a police report to the Embassy soon (along with all the other paperwork they said to send in the email). They are good for 3 months and he will have to just get a new one anyways if it takes longer than 3 months to get an interview.
 
I just called NVC about 10 days after I received our NAO2 and they told me it was transferred to Egypt and gave me our case number.
 
What is AOS fee? We don't pay anything until my fiance goes to his interview.
 
 






AOS fee was $88

 
You don't need to wait for any instructions from NVC to proceed.  Assemble the AOS package (I-864 with supporting documents) and get in the mail to NVC. Make sure to send the bar-coded cover sheet with the AOS package.
 
The police certificate gets submitted with the IV package -- which will be the next step in the process.
 
At this stage you and your husband contribute to how fast you get through NVC based on how quickly you submit documents.
 
This should help to make the steps a little clearer.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC???
Hello,

I know there's been loads of questions on the NVC stage and I've seen the latest NVC process on here, buts there's some parts I'm not clear about.

So I'm finally at the NVC stage. My husband just paid the AOS fee and it states paid online. What happens next? We haven't received any instructions on what to do next. Will he receive any instructions? My husband seems to think the NVC will mail him some info, but I'm not convinced. Also when is it best for me to apply for my police certificate, do I need to do it at this stage or at the interview stage?

Thank you.

Asia: SouthHypochondriac-please help

Ok guys. I received my approval on both the petitions yesterday. I was super excited about the approvals but that was short lived....this immigration process has caused havoc with my emotions but i just found out that it has made me a hypochondriac as well. I just read couple of other posts of people who are apparently in administrative review or administrative process at NVC. Now i am worried that what if it happens to me........ :o
Both mine my husbands records are clear so there is no reason for me to be worried.... but i just wanted to know has this AP happened to any filers from india.........



Your post made me laugh and also made me feel so much better. :lol:

First of all, Congratulations on the approvals :dance: :dance: :dance: I hope the rest of the process goes smoothly for you.

As the the worrying........ I have got my interview next week and I am in a constant state of what if's. I also know all my paperwork is in order, but that doesn't stop me from being terrified of "the one thing I haven't thought about".

Good luck to you, and thank you for letting me know I am not the only one worrying without something concrete to worry about.....
