So funny- I just emailed them this morning and got a reply the same day which is really weird lol.  I also emailed them a few times previously and I think it actually made a difference because our case was stuck on Ready and then after my latest email it changed status to AP after an hour and then to Issued the next day.

 

Praise God indeed!

Samie I just emailed the embassy and was told that our visa was delivered to DHL today.  So you should do the same and find out if it's left yet.  It apparently takes a while to get the waybill number.

Sorry not to hijack this thread but don't you need a waybill number to track status via DHL? Just curious.  I was also told that if no information on waybill is showing up on CSC site that it has not been released by embassy.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVisa Issued

Were do I start.. On the interview my husband got a white slip..221G they advised I needed a joint sponsor.. I submitted a relative I also had a back up plan.. My stepson who I claimed on my taxes.. I have always meet the Poverty Guidelines and could not understand why I was being asked for a joint sponsor.. I make well over the poverty guidelines.. I sent a nice note showing my work income and ask specific's on why a joint sponsor was required.. They embassy came back with explanation I have a small business that has taken a lose for the last 2 years.. This was deducted from my work income.. They informed my joint sponsor did not meet.. but was showing the income of the household.. Which meant to me they were not going to accept either for some odd reason.. Fortunately I got a raise and promotion along with my additional income I did not disclose as I met the guidelines and lawyer did not feel I had to declare all my income... So I sent a note to the embassy asking that they please reconsider their finding.. And that I was sending in the documentation of my additional income, Job Letter, and proof of all income to be added.. With a nice thank you and that I respected there position and concern in regards to our financial.. And appreciated there time and attention... And then he got a call few days later saying they needed the orginial BC they gave him those in error.. After I confirmed they recieved the BC.. I sent a note asking that it be expedited.. the response was that it was going to be reviewed and next day showed issued... on 12/12/2013... Called DHL they advised they don't see where it was sent to them yet... So the hard part is over... GOD is my joint sponsor he is all I have and All I need and Who I depend and trust completely..... So man say NO God says yes.. Pray... Pray.. Pray... Prayer changes things if you believe you will recieve.. Everyone told me to walk away cause of the trouble in this immigration.. My Father is AWESOME.. JESUS Thank you.... The struggle is over..... Praise GOD....

 

Yes Samie God is truly great!  I didn't think I would make it through this and I didn't go through half of you went through. We actually got very lucky.  Our visa was issued 2 weeks and 3 days after approval. But I am very happy that you no longer have to endure this.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsREADY or Interview

When ours said "Ready" on CEAC after the interview and approval apparently it was under Administrative Review- so it just means your visa is undergoing processing and review before it gets issued.  Don't be surprised if it changes to AP again (for like a day)  before it goes to Issued because that's what ours did.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHubby arrived on Monday!!
His first time traveling and flying and he had no problems at all!! He said he was in immigration at JFK for less than 15 minutes!! They asked him no questions but just took his fingerprints and photo and stamped his visa! They never mentioned the USCIS green card fee eventhough I made sure to pay it before he landed.

I am so grateful that he made it here for Christmas!! We are very happy together at last living like a married couple should. Thanks again to everyone who advised me and supported me throughout this process. All that worrying is behind me now and we can start our new life together.

All the best to everyone.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Checklist for leaving not Applicable questions Blank.

I just got email from NVC saying that it will take 60 days to review the documents after a checklist ( see my other post for email http://www.visajourn...mail-from-nvc/)

 

Ridiculous !!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Checklist for leaving not Applicable questions Blank.

We contacted our senators, they said they will see what they can do and they contacted the NVC already .

This is what one of them said

 

It was nice to speak with you earlier and Congressman Pocan appreciates you bringing this matter to our attention. If you would kindly fill out, sign, and send back the attached privacy release form, I will open an inquiry with the National Visa Center.

 

Please include as many details in the privacy waiver as possible and attach any additional pertinent documents.

Casework Manager

Congressman Mark Pocan (WI-02)

10 East Doty Street Room 405

Madison, WI 53703


And this is what my husband wrote to one of the congress people.

 

Dear Mrs. McInnis,

 

Please forgive the length of this letter, however I would like to first discuss the particular problem my wife and I are having with the National Visa Center at the moment, and then address the many problems with the legal immigration system as it currently stands, an area that I think is ripe ? indeed, over-ripe ? for reform.

 

When my co-sponsors filled out their Affidavit of Support form I-864As (see attached), they filled in their address under ?Mailing Address? and left the ?Place of Residence? section blank as it says ?if different from the mailing address? and because the I-864/I-864A instructions published on the USCIS website clearly state that when something does not apply, leave it blank. (see attached page from instructions).

 

The National Visa Center, however, sent us a checklist for this, stating that these fields must be filled in with ?n/a?.  The NVC directions do not mention this vital information anywhere.  In fact, The NVC website specifically states that the instructions on the USCIS website should be used and that ?it is important to carefully follow the instructions included with each form.? (see attached website printout).

 

The NVC has known about this vital omission for over a year (the latest forms were updated 3/22/2013) and yet have done nothing whatsoever to address the problem even though it affects the majority of applicants.  The result of receiving a checklist for this is that you must re-submit the form, and this puts you back at the bottom of the work queue, which costs all affected families an additional month and a half of separation (which is a very significant amount when one has already been forced to live apart from one?s own spouse for a year). The NVC apparently regards this additional separation as nothing more than an ?inconvenience,? and they disclaim all responsibility for their gross negligence in failing to inform applicants of the requirements for filling out their forms.  One supervisor said they update their forms every year or two, and they just have not gotten around to it and another supervisor said that they do not have any control over it as it is a Homeland Security form that the Dept. of State decided to adopt. 

 

Even assuming the NVC or Dept. of State cannot modify the published I-864 instructions, they could at least conspicuously inform applicants on their own website that their requirements are different and not to follow the published instructions.  Yet the NVC seems to think that applicants should somehow know of their requirements without being informed of them anywhere.  Thus, we applicants are effectively entrapped into incorrectly filling out our forms and thus being issued a checklist and enduring the additional separation that results.  When I asked a supervisor at the NVC if at least we could have our application put at the top of the work queue once it arrived (since it was hardly our fault the NVC did not inform us of their requirements), I was tartly informed that they ?don?t do that.? 

 

I would appreciate it if you would contact the NVC and inquire into our case and the reason for the delays.  They will likely give you a canned response, citing their ?30 business day? processing time (they appear to adjust their official processing times to whatever is convenient for their operations).  However, the real issue (which they will certainly try to talk around) is why they have failed to inform applicants of the correct requirements for filling out their applications despite, 1) it affecting a very large number of applicants, 2) the NVC knowing of the problem for over a year, and 3) the fact that they would only have to change one single sentence in the instructions to correct it.  Surely their editing process cannot be that slow?  Also, why must people who fall afoul of this requirement forced to wait the full month and a half processing time when they could not possibly have known of the rule due to the NVC?s own negligence?

 

If possible, I strongly encourage you to ask the NVC: 1) precisely when the new form with the misleading instructions began to be used, 2) how many checklists have been sent because of this issue, and 3) what proportion of the total number of applications is this (ideally broken down by month).  Not only will this help to embarrass them into actually doing their job, but it may also help to determine whether this and other trivial reasons for sending out checklists are deliberately used by the NVC (and the USCIS as well) in order to make their processing times look marginally better by rejecting applications at the first error found, no matter how minimal.

 

In general terms, this issue is representative of the general lack of accountability, transparency and oversight in the legal immigration process.  The system, as it currently stands, appears very much to have been cobbled together with little regard to efficiency and none at all for minimizing the separation of families.  And most families must remain apart for the duration of the process, no matter how long it is.  Beneficiaries are officially allowed to visit the US during the application process, but in practice this is extremely difficult and there is a high probability of being turned away at the border, merely on the whim of the border guard.  This means that the only way families can stay together is for the US citizen to abandon his or her life and career in the US and live in the spouse?s country, which is impossible or impractical in many cases (Morocco, for example, does not recognize my marriage to my wife as it was not a Muslim ceremony), nor should any free country force its own citizens to leave simply so they can be with their own spouses and families.

 

Some of the general issues that are in dire need of being addressed are:

 

-          Unclear or unstated requirements for applicants (e.g. the ?n/a? issue).

 

-          Frivolous or irrational checklists from the NVC or Requests for Evidence from the USCIS, all of which cost applicants weeks or months of additional separation.  Many examples can be provided, such as the USCIS requesting documentation that you have already submitted (which they have lost or sometimes which they have and paradoxically return to you along with the RFE?), etc.  Many of us applicants speculate that these are issued in order to make processing times appear better than they actually are.

 

-          Duplication of effort: at all three steps in the process (USCIS, NVC, embassy), applicants must prove who they are and that they have a genuine relationship.  Surely this need only be done once.  In fact, everything the USCIS does appears to be duplicated by the NVC/embassy ? are they part of the process merely because of bureaucratic inertia?  Do they (and their lengthy delays) really need to be part of this process? 

 

-          An apparent complete lack of accountability.  Rules are applied very inconsistently (e.g. a number of applicants we know of also did not fill in ?n/a? yet had their applications approved without checklists).  The issuing of checklists/RFEs and final approval/denial seem to be far more contingent on the whim of the reviewing staff member than is quite right for a legal process.  Are there any processes at all to ensure consistency?

 

Politically speaking, I believe reform of the legal immigration process represents some genuine ?low-hanging fruit? ? fairly minimal changes to the process could dramatically reduce the amount of time families are forced to be separated and dramatically increase the transparency, simplicity and efficiency of the process (for example, simultaneous rather than sequential USCIS and NVC processing, re-introducing the K-3 visa but making it obtainable with 2 or 3 months, etc.).  What is more, legal immigration reform would be non-controversial (it harms no one and costs taxpayers nothing) and could help defuse right-wing arguments against other immigration reform, especially that directed towards refugees from Central America.  Furthermore, while we US citizens with foreign spouses and families do not represent the largest group of voters, we do span all demographic groups in this country.  Therefore, reform that makes the legal immigration of the spouses/families of US citizens a shorter and more humane process will be highly visible to a considerable portion of the population, not just to those who are directly affected.  It would benefit many while harming none, thus representing a clear win-win situation.  It is my sincere hope that Representative Pocan may take this issue up and address it formally, as not only will it enormously help the families suffering under the current system, but it will also provide an easy political victory for the Democrats.  And in the current political climate, with the extreme radicalization of the Republican party, I and all other sensible Americans wish to see as many Democratic victories as possible!

 

 

Sincerely,

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Checklist for leaving not Applicable questions Blank.

This comes up time and time again and yes it will get you a checklist. Hopefully others learn from yours, and many other's mistake, and not make it themselves.

 

Yup, Well i have seen some get checklist for this some do not, it was our co sponsor who left it Blank, but getting a checklist for following the instructions is really not fair .


Oh no! I just looked at my I-864A and I left that portion BLANK. :protest: I'd flip if I get a checklist for that. Checklist isn't too bad if it doesn't take them 30 days for EACH update. It's just plain ridiculous. :cry:

 

I hate to say this but it take the full 30 Business days to review a checklist :(

Oh man it's terrible how they do that to people :(. We had a similar situation we got a checklist because I forgot to put the amount I made throught the year of 2013 even though I sent my taxes they needed for me to redo and resend my taxes, it's crazy how they work and it's sad because they had everything they just waiting on that but they still need 30 days to review. Uggghhhh so frustrating :'( haven't seen my husband since January ??

It just sucks!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Checklist for leaving not Applicable questions Blank.

So sorry this happened to you :( Unfortunately it's an extremely common checklist, although most people get it on the I-864EZ, which has that same "leave blank if address is the same" section that they secretly don't actually want blank. I've never seen anyone get NVC to remove the checklist, but one person did report they complained to their embassy and the embassy contacted NVC to fix it. It's definitely worth a shot.

 

Already contacted the Embassy :( this is what they said :

 

 

Thank you for your email inquiry. This office has not yet received the petition you filed on behalf of your spouse.  Usually immigrant visa cases are scheduled by the National Visa Center (NVC) in the United States.  We only receive files at this office after the interview has been scheduled and a packet mailed to the applicant.  Please direct your inquiry to NVC

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Checklist for leaving not Applicable questions Blank.

Hello everyone.

 

Quick question, how many of you got a checklist for leaving not applicable questions Blank? we got a checklist  on the I-864A my our co-sponsor physical and postal address are the same, so where it says your postal address (if different) she left it blank instead of putting N/A and we got a checklist for that.

 

We re-submit the forms, and this will put us back at the bottom of the work queue, which costs us an additional month and a half of separation (which is a very significant amount when one has already been forced to live apart from one?s own spouse for almost a year).


We have also noticed that they have sent us a checklist for only one of the I-864A's but not for the other that also had the place of residency part Blank instead of n/a, would this have meant that we would have received another checklist after re-submitting the updated form ?  Costing us more time apart? we however updated both I-1864A's just in case cause we want to avoid any other checklists.


The NVC could of at least informed us on their website that their requirements are different and not to follow the published instructions. When we asked a supervisor at the NVC if at we could have our application put at the top of the work queue once it arrived (since it was hardly our fault the NVC did not inform us of their requirements), We were informed that they ?don?t do that.?





 

 

How ridiculous is that ? no we are wondering how many got checklists for this very reason, cause this little thing will cost us and extra 40-45 days apart :cry:

 

Izzy

Absolutely, staying positive is the way of survival with these type of situations, and thank you for your encouragement. I have called DOS and again, an automated answering system that says either inquire after 60 days  or simply wait because processing may take longer. Also, they say that same information can be found online and that is where I check daily. Thanks for your response!

US Citizenship General DiscussionInterview Advice: BRING EVERYTHING!

Very good advice - we have three 2" ringbinders full of material - one has copies of everything we have submitted to USCIS and NVC, the second has every kind of relationship evidence we could think of (including photos, boarding cards, etc., from all our visits), and the third has everything they asked us to being to the interview, an updated AOS form and supporting documents, and anything else we have heard that they sometimes as to see up front.

Just keep in mind, you could always get some jerk who is having a bad day and decides to delay you over something trivial.  So bring absolutly everything - bury them in documentation.  Don't give them the slightest chance of finding anything lacking.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIncredibly FAST Processing

 

Perhaps you are misunderstanding me.  I suspect that the staff at USCIS and NVC are overwhelmed with applications.  A person can only do so much in a day.  I would disagree that no one has any accountability.  There are staff members, supervisors, managers, etc...  You know the old saying, "S**t rolls uphill"  That being said, imagine yourself with stacks of applications on your desk.  Now imagine your supervisor coming along and saying, "Hey thoushands of people have died in the Philippines.  Give the Philippine applicants priority.  This after what, a couple million other apps that were given priority by someone way higher up for illegals already here.  I suspect these people at these agencies are doing there best.  I do not think they are sitting around all day.

 

Hauoli Makahiki Hou

 

If there is accountability, where is the evidence of it?  What happens when they fail to attain their 5 month goal?  As far as anyone can tell, nothing whatsoever.  If there was some real accountability, I am certain we'd see things moving along at a very brisk pace.  And let's not forget that they do speedy processing not just for victims of natural disasters.  Look around here and you'll see they also pick out random people and approve them more quickly in order to keep their average processing time down.  Most of us are now looking at nearly a year just to reach the NOA2, which is absolutely unacceptable.  I also don't think their staffers sit around all day - I'm sure most are professional and diligent.  But it really does not seem that the leadership of the USCIS sees the rapid and humane reunion of US citizens with their family members as any kind of priority.

 

 

 

I agree 100% but do you have any idea how long it takes for government agencies to get money appropriated, and to screen and hire new employees, etc...?
 

 

While they would indeed have to hire new employees, they wouldn't need an appropriation.  USCIS is almost completely funded by fees - that's right, we are paying their salaries directly.  And because they are the only way to get your spouse or family to America legally, we have to shell out for it and take whatever service we get in return, no matter how poor.  So all they have to do is increase the fees a bit, and then they have the budget for more employees.  And I guarantee you that everyone on this board would be more than happy to pay 10% or 20% more if it meant we didn't have to endure these absurd delays.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionOMGGG FML!!!! THIS IS BULL!!!

A Senator is a "congress person", or member of Congress.


Thanks, if you didn't say it, I was going to :)

To clarify for anyone else out there... Congress has two branches: The Senate and The House of Representatives. Everyone has 2 Senators and 1 Representative (except people in Territories like Puerto Rico/USVI/Guam).

People usually go to their Senators because it's perceived that Senators have more influence. As a rule, this is generally true. But if your Representative has been in office for a long time, or happens to be on an Immigration sub-committee, they may be more useful. Or it could simply come down to "who's office has the most ambitious/sympathetic case worker?"

Hope this helps!

The next day I made appointment with the doctor and gave them our case number from the embassy. The next two days I send an email to the embassy and they schedule my interview. If you want to make things fast, just prepare everything before they ask you. That is base on my own experience :)
