National Visa Center (Dept of State)Case active or not?

First of all, you need to ask your father the exact date of his naturalization.  NVC cannot give you an answer if you don't have any evidence that your petitioner has become a US citizen.

 

In order for NVC to understand your case, you need to provide them a copy of your father's naturalization certificate, your marriage certificate and your annulment decree.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)As per NVC

It takes NVC 20-30 business days to review the AOS and IV package.  When you get a checklist for missing documents or wrong info, it will take another 20-30 business days for NVC to review your checklist response.

 

Your timeline is very vague.  You have to give specifics.


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-12-03 20:19:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Why late? Approved on Nov 1, Now what?

According to NVC it could take up to 8 weeks to get a case number.  But usually, its shorter.  You can call them everyday for updates (that's what I did biggrin.png ) or you can call again on the 25th (as instructed).

 

Good luck.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Question for I-130, F2A Category

You can call NVC and ask if they already have your IIN. idea9dv.gif


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-12-04 22:54:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Question for I-130, F2A Category

Hmmmm.  So there's no IIN.  I guess I'm wrong blush.png .  You won't be able to access the CEAC without the case# and IIN.

 

I can't answer when the PD will start moving again in the visa bulletin.  Sorry.  unsure.png

 

 


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-12-04 22:51:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Question for I-130, F2A Category

Did it include an Invoice Identification Number (IIN)?  If yes, you can check if the DS261 is already available for you:  https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

 

Yes, they will still continue the process even if PD is not current.

They will still process your case, however, they will not schedule your wife for an embassy interview until her PD becomes current in the visa bulletin.

 

It may take 8 weeks for NVC to generate a case number for you.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)its neccassery or not latest w2s of 2014 at interview time

Presenting the petitioner's and joint sponsor's 2012 ITR and W2 is okay, as long as they meet the poverty guidelines.


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-01-08 15:55:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)how long!!!!!!!!!!

You'll get I/L end of January.  Interview will be in March.


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-01-08 15:56:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Will I need Co-Sponsor in this case?

Using your own 2013 ITR and W2 is enough (the latest 1040/w2 is what matters).  The past years are just optional (meaning you don't need to submit it).

 

If your 2013 income is below poverty guidelines, you need a joint sponsor.


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-01-12 13:27:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)we got this email checklist frm nvc

_____F - FINANCIAL EVIDENCE:______________________________________
We have finished reviewing your case. We will tell you when we set an interview date for your case. Please do not contact the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in LAGOS, NIGERIA about your interview until we give you the date.
We saw that either your Affidavit of Support was incomplete, some of your supporting documents were missing, or both. We have marked the missing items on the checklist below.
You should send any of the missing items to NAME OF APPLICANT so he or she can take them to the visa interview. The Consular Officer will review the missing items at the time of the interview.
Please pay special attention to any items related to the Affidavit of Support form. If the checklist shows any problems with the form, you should complete a new form and send it to NAME OF APPLICANT.
If you do not send the missing information to NAME OF APPLICANT, his or her visa application could be delayed or denied.
If you need a new Affidavit of Support form, you can find it at uscis.gov/forms.... so I'm so GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR CASE COMPLETE AFTER 3 MONTHS.





 

Make sure the complete AOS package is sent to the beneficiary to be presented during his/her interview.  You should also meet the income requirements, if not find a joint sponsor.


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-01-13 17:59:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Email : Shipped to NVC

It says on the NOA2 that they will send the petition to DOS/NVC but they will not notify you of the actual date that they send it out.

 

You have to call NVC and ask if they have your case file already.


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-01-19 12:46:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)finicial document miss..
Check your interview letter and the email prior to that. You can find the checklist there. If you dont bring those documents, your visa will not be approved.
apple21FemalePhilippines2014-01-20 20:45:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)interview date

Call NVC to follow up. Once you get your case number you can email the Honduran Embassy to schedule an interview. I just send an email with the subject: Appointment needed!!. In the body of the message you just need to write the beneficiary 's complete name and case number. That's all.

send it to : TGGCONSIVAPP@state.gov

 

Buena suerte!

 

OP is F2A category.  NVC is the one who will schedule his interview.


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-01-21 14:25:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Nvc received case

It could take as long as 8 weeks to get a case number BUT it is usually shorter than that.

 

You can call them every day for updates if you want to.  No harm in doing so. yes.gif

National Visa Center (Dept of State)can anyone answer my question ?

Hi all

My case complete at NVC under f2a on 27 jan 2014.

For my wife and 4 months old baby. Waiting for IL .

Another side my citizenship interview got done in dec 2013 approved. 

Waiting for oath letter. Hopefully get oath for March 2014.

Question : if case left from NVC and interview scheduled for april 2014

And I get oath ceremony for March, still I have to call NVC let them know 

About my citizenship , if yes should I have to file separate i130 for my son?

Where interview date will already be initiated.

Thanks for any advice 

 

You'll get I/L end of February.  Interview will be in April.  Chase the citizenship later, after they have immigrated.


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-02-04 15:16:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)I-130 Approved

The paper DS230 is already obsolete.  It is the DS260 that should be filed out online.

 

The civil documents together with the IV cover sheet must be mailed via courier to NVC.


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-02-04 22:28:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Question: Visa bulletin for F2A ????!!!!

 

Yes I know that and they emailed me and said these words

 

I mean for my question: 

When do you think VB will change for F2A ? 

Any news about it ? 

Thanks 

 

Predictions say it's going to be stuck on 08 SEP 2013 for several months.  No one can accurately say when it's going to move again.  Good luck.


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-02-08 14:55:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)File Complaint Against NVC Representative.

That's pretty much a normal conversation with NVC.

 

Don't stress yourself over it.

 

Smile, call again and hope a "nice" operator sugar coats it for you.  Good luck.


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-02-11 14:06:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)DS-260 Questions..what they mean??

I'm worry beacause the answer is yes..but why, I'm ok, my police record is ok, why if my parents have a problem, I can have denied for this? me I'm clean! why..

 

Because they do background checks.  If your records are clean, no worries.  Just be truthful in answering the DS260.


apple21FemalePhilippines2014-01-14 14:48:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Sent an e-mail to the NVC yesterday. How long before a reply usually?

How long do nvc take to set the interview day? Anyone? Honduras consulate...

 

Feb 2014 interview letters/schedules are already out.

 

You may expect your interview to be in March 2014 since you just got case completed.


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-12-27 21:15:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Expidite case at NVC

You can request expedite for your daughter's case, but not for your husband because his PD is not current.

 

Anyway, all requests can be sent thru NVC's email address.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)High Risk Countries! Submission of more Relationship Evidence at NVC stage!!!

 

About the worst idea for this specific embassy. There's documented evidence of CO refusing to accept anything during the interview.

 

I already corrected myself and I agreed that OP should mail the additional evidence to NVC.  content.gif


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-12-12 00:35:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)High Risk Countries! Submission of more Relationship Evidence at NVC stage!!!

Everyone is overlooking that this is going through Nigeria! What you sent in for PHL, Canada etc... Probably will not cut it in Lagos! I have been around enough to see a slew of denials coming from there... Decisions seem to be made before the interview... I say SEND IT IN ... Because omitting it and being denied takes a whole lot more time...

You might want to have this thread moved to the regional forum to get first hand experiences and advice from those going through this consulate...

 

Oh my, I never thought of it that way.  unsure.png

 

Maybe it is a good idea to send additional evidence in (send copies, the original you bring to the interview).  Make sure you write your CASE NUMBER legibly on the evidences.


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-12-12 00:06:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)High Risk Countries! Submission of more Relationship Evidence at NVC stage!!!

In my case, we sent our marriage certificate together with the i-130 and for supporting evidence we included our children's birth certificates.

 

For the NVC stage, we just sent the affidavit of support documents and my (beneficiary) civil documents.  

 

For the interview I will bring family/wedding pictures, money remittance receipts, chat/email conversations and Skype video call logs/screenshots.


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-12-11 22:32:00
