National Visa Center (Dept of State)DS 3032 already Emailed to NVC but no IV bill yet

It will take 10-20 business days for NVC to accept your DS3032.  Once accepted, they will generate the IV fee invoice a couple of days later.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Case Completed last Aug.28th but no interview sked yet :-(

 

Hi guys! Just to give you an update, i requested the NVC to expedite my case and it was granted. I checked the IV status online and it now says IN TRANSIT but i still dont have any scheduled interview for my kids. I'm just wondering how long will it take before i get a schedule. Thanks!

 

F2A will start receiving interview letters this coming week starting on the 27th (more or less) so always check your email.

Anyone else waiting for their interview sched?

 

Your profile says F2A.  NVC sends our interview letters for F2A every last week of the month, so, you'll probably get it on the LAST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER.  Interview will be in November.

Thanks apple21 its hard to be waiting but i think is the only way to get reunite with our love ones let me know any update about your case

 

You can refer to my signature.

 

If its any consolation to you, I waited more than a year to get NOA2.  So a few weeks of waiting on your end is like a walk in the park, really.

I think 8 weeks is the norm now because USCIS is approving so fast and they're dumping cases to NVC causing NVC to be backlogged.

 

Just keep on calling, everyday if you can, so you can get real time updates. wink.png

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Frustrated & Concerned

Contact the medical firm.  They are the petitioner, they should have done all the paperwork for your wife.

 

Call NVC if the petition is still active.

 

Looks to me like your wife has been scammed by the lawyer.

 

Why don't you just file i-130 for her as your spouse?  You can also file i-130 for your stepkids, if you married their mom before their 18th birthday.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Does NVC accept Certificate from NSO Stating "No Record of Birth"

It depends on the Local Civil Registry.  1-2 months perhaps?  She can request for an ADVANCE ENDORSEMENT to expedite the process.


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-10-03 00:06:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Does NVC accept Certificate from NSO Stating "No Record of Birth"

You mom should apply for LATE REGISTRATION of BC at the Local Civil Registry.

 

But first she has to go to the LCR of the municipality where she was born to check if there really is no birth record.  Sometimes, the LCR has a record but it was not forwarded to NSO head office that's why NSO has no record.

 

NVC requires original NSO BC.  "No Record of Birth" means your mom does not have a BC on the NSO archives.

You will get a faster response by calling them.  The petitioner, beneficiary and lawyer can inquire at NVC.  Just be ready with your USCIS receipt number, names and dates of birth of the petitioner and beneficiary.

 

To make free calls via WIFI, download the MagicJack app if you're using an iOS or Android phone/device.  That's what I use. wink.png

National Visa Center (Dept of State)HELP! NVC Keeps Referencing by old Maiden Name!!

 

ThanKs so much for your response!! We filed the I-130 in my married name.

 

Hmmm, that's odd.  In your NOA1 and NOA2, does it show your married name?

 

Maybe you should address this by sending an email to NVC.  Attach a scanned copy of your marriage certificate and your passport.  I assume your passport is already in your married name, correct?

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Medical Exams for CR1s

Hello all

 

I'm currently awaiting my wife's USCIS packet to arrive at NVC and will need to request an expedite due to a medical situation, but I'm wondering if anyone knows how long the results are valid for on the medical exams.  I'm thinking of getting the medical exams out of the way ahead of time as they start processing things to ensure that I don't get caught behind the 8 ball regards to scheduling of the interview at the Embassy.

 

Thanks

 

The medical is normally valid for 6 months but may vary depending on the country.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Police certificate ( NBI)

Which is keep the personal copy from her (wife)
And she would send the other copy and that will be for NVC  Yes, send the other half to NVC.  The "personal copy" stays with your wife.  Bring the personal copy to the interview (just in case the consul will ask for it).

Are they going to get back to me after interview or they'll keep it  USEM will keep the original NBI clearance.  They will not return it.

Thank you apple

You should renew your passport to your married name so everything will be consistent and the visa will be issued in your married name, hence the GC will bear the married name as well.
