1. Why did your NOA1 take 7 months  ?

 

2. Have you spoke to USCIS and asked where your file is ?

 

3. What are you checking every month ?

Was able to fill out the DS-260 today, 3 days after making the IV payment, filled it in , now we wait

Since 1996 Ive visited the US 63, yes SIXTY THREE  times! it took me weeks to collate all the entry and exit  dates and points from old passports,boarding passes etc had them all printed out neatly to send with my DS230, now on the DS-260 they only ask for your last 5 visits!!!  ARRRGGGHHH!!

I've never heard anything about that. That may only apply to K1 applicants which have a completely different process than IR-1/CR-1 applicants. NVC assigns the interview dates for IR-1/CR-1 visas.

 

Thanks, maybe im confusing things a little.

 

How does the NVC alert me to the interview date, email or posted letter ?


fcatMaleUnited Kingdom2013-10-19 11:34:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - September 2013

Glad i was able to help.

Have you spoke to the NVC and got your NVC case number and Invoice ID number ?

 

When you speak to the NVC to get the above they should have asked you(or you should have told them) your e mail address.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - September 2013

 

Thanks fcat!  I guess I will call again today.  So far, the info. isn't in.  I didn't realize that my hubby has to send me all that stuff so I can send in the package, so that will take a week or two more to get here anyway.  His police reports are taking FOREVER to obtain in Holland.  Their process says 2-4 weeks, and he asked 3 weeks ago for them.  So he had to sit in a 45 minute wait to get told "it'll be there in a week," today.  Ahh...the fun we're having with this process, eh?  smile.png

Thanks again for the info.  That helps.  I think I've just hit the saturation point and trying to wade through these last steps to get him here..

 

Well you don't have to send the package, your hubby can!

Surprised to find as much info as i did on the London embassy site, looks like i was right in what i said above.

 


fcatMaleUnited Kingdom2013-10-18 09:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - September 2013

Ok thanks, maybe i'm mistaken but i thought the London Embassy assign you a number after they have got my package from NVC and i cant book an appointment with the medical people until i get this number from London !

I then thought my medical file was sent to the London embassy and they then set an interview date. it was more of me wanting confirmation of that and asking how they alert me of the number and the interview date.

Jenmatt, NVC told me they had received my paperwork on a Friday, i called back the following Tuesday and she gave me my NVC case number and my invoice ID number. I then logged in here for a couple of days: https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx until i saw i was able to fill out the DS 261. After that a couple of days i received two e mails from NVC one asking me to log in the above again, i did and saw i was able to pay my AOS bill which i did. I then logged in a couple of days later, saw it said "paid" and was able to print out the cover sheet to send off my AOS paperwork.

 

I'm now at a stop and think then next thing to come through is an e mail to say my earlier DS 261 form has been accepted and then i log in again above and make the payment of the IV bill, and then fill in the DS 260, then keep an eye out till it says paid and print the cover sheet and send the supporting documents to NVC

 

 

 

Hope that helps, just keep logging in at the above site and looking for what you can click on to fill in and pay:)

When i go to the website to fill in my Ds 260 i get:

 

"Case Number XXXXXXXXXXXX

Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time. Please contact the National Visa Center if you believe that you have received this message in error."

 

 

Do i have t wait for something to happen or a certain amount of days before i can do the DS 261 ?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - September 2013

I've called the NVC everyday since i got my NOA2 on the 16th September, They ust told me this morning that they have received my paperwork from the Washington DC local office and to call back Monday and it should be on their system.

 

Have to say that every time Ive called them (with the exception of once) they have been very polite, friendly and I've always been put through to an operator within 30 minutes. One guy was very stern and little arrogant when he told me i had to wait 8 weeks before calling, apart from that they've been excellent.

Oh, shoot, you're right. I forgot that the new forms want you to leave things blank instead. My bad! blush.png  My advice used to apply with the old forms though tongue.png

 

No worries, i was just checking to make sure myself:)

Saylin said: "If it applies to you, but there's no answer, then put 'none'. If it doesn't apply, then put 'N/A'. Make sure no field is left blank, otherwise the officer can think you forgot to fill it out and issue a checklist."

 

Is this really correct ?

 

It says the following in the instructions that accompany the I-864 : "Answer all questions fully and accurately. If an item is not applicable or the answer is ?none,? leave the space blank."

 
I was sure that you leave the spaces blank for anything that is not applicable because the large barcode across the bottom of the I-864 changes depending on what information you enter in each field!

Hello there,
Is there anyone here filled I-864 and didn't put his income in item number 6.c. as the same in item number 5., and got accepted??

 

Have i missed some discussion on this ? the way i read the question you didnt fill in part 6 unless you were using someone else as well as your primary sponsor!

Sounds like you're very prepared good.gif I give you 5 star_smile.gif

 

You probably won't have a case number in 2 weeks, so if you still want to visit, that's fine. But maybe shorten the visit to just a few weeks (and bring all your IV paperwork just in case). Or just wait it out since you're near the end now.

 

Thanks, i cant not be there at Christmas and new years either way so need to try work things out i guess:)

This is heavily dependent on when your case gets to NVC. Some people's cases arrive in a reasonable time (within a few weeks). Then there's the unfortunate where they have to wait months. As long as you're not in the latter camp, yes, it could be possible to be here for Christmas. This, of course, also depends on how fast you pay bills, submit forms, and send packages (and if there's no checklists). Not to mention the time frame from case complete to interview date (which I think is around 2 months for the UK), plus if you pass the interview. But, realistically, yes it's possible yes.gif

 

Thanks,  we have everything needed, we are really pro active and will have things to send and pay the very next if not the same day they are needed requested. i was going to go to the US in 2 weeks time for 10 weeks over Christmas and new year and then come back but didnt anticipate the NOA2 till the new year!,need to look at things i guess.
