National Visa Center (Dept of State)AOS and IV
[quote name='jolady' timestamp='1292526633' post='4354747']
Hi All,

Quick question, how do I know when they reviewed the AOS if everything is ok? Do they send me a notice? or is there a website to check the status, as the payment online website it only shows when something was paid or in processing. Also I am being told that since its the end of the month that JA will probably not issue the Police Certificates after Christmas, and it makes more sense to wait till after the holidays to go get it done... does anyone know how long the Police Certificates are good for in JA, and if we are able to just get two copies one for the D230 and a second one for the interview?

I was hoping to get everything resolved before the end of the month so that maybe I might be able to get an interview for February.. but can anyone advise if their case is complete with in a month's period would they be likely to get an interview for the following month.

And finally anyone recently been approved can you advise how long it took for you to receive your passport back? is it within 5 days if you are picking up your passport from a PO box, can you meet DHL there and sign for it?

correct as the prev. person stsated - call them as ask if they have been received in the mail room. As for the " Police Certificates after Christmas " i have no knowledage of that.. why would business stop except for those days that are observed...? It doesnt make more sent but is not a good pratice.

The police clearance are valid for 6 months and you do get TWO for the cost.. the expiration date will not be noted on the form just the date it was issued.

Agree with O & C .....

I filled out attraction with question 43a on two seperate ds-230s ... They got to ATLANTA, GA, USA on 12/19/10 and the ssn request was not submitted... Knew this because I asked them so I took them to the social security office the next day and had no problems.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)How to track our application reached the consulate or Not?

Hey Thanks RICARDO,

It did worked but how can I be sure thats it my Package.......


It will be yours if done correctly. To check against your findings you can call and speak with a NVC staff and ask if your case has left for the consulate... They will give u an answer as to when it was received but cant seem to tell "when" it will get there.

After about 1 week of the package being delivered u can also email the embassy to ask if they received it.

Can I have my wife fill out the DS-230 form and send it to me now or do I have to wait until I get that form from the NVC?

TO ADMIN: Please move this topic to NVC, sorry about that.


If the IV fee was paid and the cover sheet is available in the payment portal anyone can mail off the documents.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC Final Review

Thanks :dance: The operator insisted that I call back next week for consulatation. I guess she means call back for an interview date with the consular.


Review takes 1-2 weeks and is a period after the case is completed it's reviewed for errors etc. If i were you I would not call back net week.. as nothing will change. You can call them Feb. 1st - 18th as this is the likely time frame when the interview would be scheduled.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)What happens first Case Completion or Sign-In Fail????

But after SIF, does it mean that NVC is planning to schedule the Interview..coz lot many people's cases have been completed since months but their SIF is not done yet...they r still able to login their account....
First my CC on Dec 30 2010
SIF on Jan 24 2011...
Also, my Category is not current now....affected by Retrogression past 2 months...
May be they r planning to move PD forward in upcoming bulletin....



No.. if your case is not current then NO interviews will be scheduled. Your priority date has to be within th cut off date.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)What happens first Case Completion or Sign-In Fail????

well..i was wondering comments from all guys regarding Case Completion and Sign-In Fail. My question is that what happens first Case Complete or Sign-In Failed ????
If case complete happens first and SIF later, what to expect next ????
R we listed on Documentary Qualified Applicants list or NVC is planning to schedule our Interview ?????



Well I'd say technically Case Completion comes first as the processing agent has to close/update the case so that SIF can occur. Most people get SIF first because they often times try to log into the portal before calling since it's 24/hrs.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)STUCK at NVC, case number is WRONG-USCIS FAULT

Im not sure if im posting at the right forum, but if anyone reads it please help.

We got our NOA2 January 12 then it was sent to NVC the next day, its already the 31st and yet our case is still in NVC. 2 weeks ago we found out that they assigned us a wrong CASE NUMBER because of the stupid USCIS fault.

After calling NVC many times, every time we call they keep on asking if we sent them the info they need to update address. It sounds to me like these people that answers the phone is not any less as stupid as USCIS call agents.

Now my main question is, is there anybody we should request to talk to once got connected to NVC? coz the 3 people my fiance got to talk to are as dumb as a monkey.

Please share if you know any way we can do to get our case solve pleaseeeeeeeeee!

thank you



Sorry to hear of this.. but i'm sure it's fixable fist thing to do is calm down. You stated USCIS sent the wrong case number. With that being said shouldn't you be in contact with USCIS so they can forward the correct information if not corrected...?

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Another SIF related question

I just read a post that said a member tried to log onto his/her NVC account but got an SIF (=sign in fail). My question is in regards to what the member was trying to access. Is there a way to check the status of our case at NVC online. Is this an alternate way of finding information on the case? I have read the posts here and have not found any information on how to access case status at NVC online. Can someone please help me understand this? I'd like to check our case online...if possible. Thanks in advance.


I'm using mobile so can't post link if necessary someone will.

You cannot get case status about your nvc case via internet.
For that you should speak with a person - customer service. The only (online) place that gives us hope/refuge is the payment portal. If you have made your payment online then you would go to the same website using your case # and invoice # located on the correspondence from THE NVC to pay your affidavit ot immigrant viss fee/s etc.

thank u very much for the detailed info...we just received the NOA2, how do we know our new case number? how long will it take?


You will need to call the NVC to get the information. 1 603 334 0700. speak with the agent or in the Automated system. The case will be transfered to the NVC - i would say it may take 7-30 days.
RICARDO4EVA2MaleJamaica2011-02-11 02:06:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC case number
A site you can look at to get a more detailed explanation.

Case Number: The National Visa Center (NVC) gives each immigrant petition a case number. This number has three letters followed by ten digits (numbers). The three letters are an abbreviation for the overseas embassy or consulate that will process the immigrant visa case (for example, GUZ for Guangzhou, CDJ for Ciudad Juarez).

The digits tell us exactly when NVC created the case. For example a case with the number MNL2001747003 would be a case assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Manila. 2001 is the year in which NVC received the case from the USCIS (formerly INS). The Julian date is 747 plus 500, so this case was created on September 4, 2001, the 247th day of the year. The 003 shows that it was the third case created for Manila on that day. This case number is not the same as the USCIS receipt number, which is written on the Notice of Action, Form I-797, from the USCIS. A consular section abroad cannot find a case if all you have is the USCIS receipt number.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC case number

how does NVC case numbers usually start/begin? Like from USCIS it's WAC and the like, what about NVC case number for I129/fiancee? thanks!


The three letters are an abbreviation for the overseas consulate that will process the immigrant visa case (for example, KGN for Kingston (Jamaica). It is different from the assigned USCIS case number. The NVC case number tells when it was created / assigned by the NVC.

Do the documents sent to NVC need to be sent from an address inside the United States? I imagine not, but I never know with these fools. Thanks for any help, good luck to all.

Kind regards.



It can be sent from anywhere in this world.
Be Mindful of what you are saying.. the Same "fools" are who you are seeking assistance for the processiing of your case and hope they don't give you a RFE to slow you down a notch.

Ok F3 .. Back in November 2010 your case was about 6 months away from your november 2002 priority date. It's not possible to say when an interview is to be scheduled since the case is no longer current.

What should i do,should i go ahead and send off my ds-230 with the documents???


Posted Image Good to see some non-emotional post around here.Posted Image

The check list is computer generated and might have kicked it out "just" because. When the case sits for a lil while these things happen. You should make the payment and mail the ds-230 and the supporting documents when you're ready not to go without communicating with them for 1 year.

THEY will send out a letter to the beneficiary and the petitioner letter him/her know a petition was filed on his/her behalf which will include the case number. You can also call them in about 1 week since your case was just approved on 3/7/11 speak with a person or listen to the automated message.

Does it mean my Mothers name at my birth or her own?

My Wife thinks it should be her Maiden name at her Birth, and I think it should her surname at my Birth.

Any idea? lol.


You should put her MAIDEN NAME .. the name she had when she was born... if is / was married.. you but the name she has before any life change event/s. In other words - the name that is on THE MOTHER'S birth certificate.. not the DAUGHTER since that could be different.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)DS-230 question

Since you can't save DS-230, can I fill one out on the computer, then print it, scan the printed copy as a PDF file, so my wife can sign it in India (With out having to wait for my printed copies of DS-230?) I'm currently in Iraq working as a DOD contractor, so mail is kinda slow. Just thought this will cut about 2-3 weeks from the process.

Thank you,
