Mailing checklists to NVC

That is correct.

But normally they need phone number right ? So when the package arrive they will call NVC , but that number is for help only so ? Because DHL cannot just ship to P.O they need someone to sign the package

Can you enlight me ? by your experience ?

Mailing checklists to NVC

So normally the petitioner did that in US but this time i have to do it to save time because i just get my police certificate !

The shipping company ( DHL ) asked for phone number in receiver details so i provided 6033340700 is that correct ? I've never thought that they would need phone number for NVC ,

I called last week, and got lots of busy signals, but since my desk phone has "End Call", and "Redial" next to each other, it made it easy to "hammer" until I got through. (Since I no longer have a MODEM to do the work for me, I have to improvise).

I was able to talk to a human after waaiting on hold for 30 minutes close to midnight

Even worse for me , i use cell phone , i've waited approx 45mins still ....

last week, NVC were busier than normal. I've tried many time during the day. Just like you, busy tone. I was able to talked to the rep when I called them around 10:30 PM central time which was 11:30PM Eastern time.

I may try that

DOS can't help you. They will tell you to call NVC. They no longer will give out information dealing with NVC.

You will just have to keep calling call either early morning or late at night they are open 7am to midnight eastern time.

You can also use the call back line and they will call you back. Go here to the website. It's been posted here on VJ i have used it very nce to use.

Waiting for Interview Letter

I need to ask few questions

My case category is F2A

1) My case got completed by NVC on 3 April 2014 n my PD is 2 July 2013.

Its been 2 months now we haven't received Interview Letter yet. what could be the possible reason of it?

does that retrogress(seen on visa-bulletin) causing the delay ?

i have seen few People of F2A (PD after august2013) category getting IL letter.

2) My wife will have her neutralization Interview in this week. Should we upgrade our case from F2A to Cr1?

will it help us getting the IL letter soon?

Thanks

1. Yes your PD is not current, therefore you'll have to wait for it to become current again ( all i can say is ~10 days to go till new vb coming out, there are chances )

2. You'll get your upgrade once she come USC

DS-260 must be in English

If the DS-260 must be in English, how wil my wife parent receive there IV package? They live in China. The GUZ consulate will translate english address into chinese?

Before DS-260 was online the paper version there was a space where you can answer name and address in native language. I am not sure if the online verision let me do that.

Thanks,

Ming

Hi ?, currently there is no the need of snail mail though i can't be sure for China..if you mean the p4 packet, asumming you have put their email adress they will get it via their email instead..it take much less time.

DS-260 is English-only so you are not going to write the address in Chinese

Re-sending I-864A

Thanks for the response.

Do you know if you have to include the checklist letter to the requested documents when submitting to NVC? Just curious.

Once you receive the checklist email or letter you will just have to print out of checklist cover sheet and include it in the package and sent.

You don't need the whole checklist letter but just the cover sheet in the checklist letter.

Expediting an I-130 at NVC

To be honest , it pure luck to get case expedite....a friend got her case expedite by directly send the inquiry to the embassy and NVC forwarded the case to the embassy and she got visa approved btw it's due her medical concern.

Honestly , i'd not suggest you do it though because NVC is backlog now they are busy as hell as told earlier by averageguy6 , unless it's life concern then consider trying it because chance are below 40% .

Ring NVC and ask them but be patient and forgive their unusual behaviors , they are at mess now , i'd not mind and completely understand them because it is impossible to control their temper at this work rate

Choices are your , one thing to keep in mind is that it will not effect your case even they reject the approach.

It worth a try , it won't hurt but in my opinion yes my opinion only you will likely to be reject the approach to expedite

Does anyone knows where to mail an expedite request?

Hi, I am a little confused. So, I have to request my expedite to the American Embassy in the Dominican Republic? Or do I just send it to the NVC? Can you please clarify thus for me?

NVC will automatically contact Embassy once the request received and then the Embassy will make the decision whether to expedite your case or not and they will notify you

You need to email NVC , i'd not suggest the mailing route...email are the main option now or you will waste more times

Just FYI , a friend of mine directly contacted the Embassy back in May , she has never contact NVC and the Embassy approved her request and ordered NVC to forward the case.

Who will be the one to call NVC, petitioner or beneficiary?

Infoneeded SennaBrigante and GlowMe90 I wish magicjack can be used here. Im able to download but wont be able to register cause UAE blocked it

Tried to call NVC twice using normal local number but I was already out of credit/Load before I could even talk to them? Its only this one lady saying my call is important to them and have to wait and will be attended shortly, then one guy will say All their agents are busy attending calls? lol

Its costly to call them. But my hubby cant call due to the nature of his job and won?t be able to call only once he is home after 2 weeks.

How about skype ? just skype credits and call them

The costs are even lower

You will get Oct interview if you embassy are not too busy ( slots available ) or Nov interview if they are too busy

Still no interview date set from NVC

Any update ? Just wondering because the Embassy are filled up the slots with tons of earlier filers mostly 2012 because NVC are backlogging but i think it will not have any impact on your case since it's IR5..it's not subject to visa quota for Immediate Relative of US Citizens

Let me know whenever you get Interview Letter

How do I actually/realistically contact the NVC? Phone has been constantly busy for days

Budget-wise get skype credits and call through skype as it costs much less than the actual phone cost.....because the average hold time will be between 45 mins to a hour or up with several attempts

and for the emailing route , it takes more than 20 days....( for my case it was 25 days though most members reported that they have never got any response back for emailing )

You don't really need an attorney just make yourself familiar with the process by reading Wiki , the process itself is not that hard

the only way is that her job will agree on 2 weeks off for medication

Or find a new job after medication as soon as possible ? because NVC will process your case normally , the final showdown is in your consulate and by the time you get to interview i'm sure that she will be able to get a new job

Best of luck bro

i know, she got enough income from her current job but going for surgery will cause us losing the job and i am concern about her health

we tried there is no any joint sponsors who will help us

i thought about adding money to bank account as assests but my wife already have 1 child with here so they are 2 member and with me 3, we will need around $75000 and we dont have that

Okay i see but no income and no co-sponsor/joint sponsor means no approval , she has to ask someone to help out and be joint sponsor.

No more choices because assets are not enough along with bank account.

we have no joint sponsors, not even one and our assests are not enough

her salary each month is above the 125%

the problem is not with me going there to be with here, i already told her to come here to my country and i will do the surgery for her here i have health inssurance and shes included because shes my wife, but the problem is with losing the job if she will go 2 weeks for surgery and whats after

The thing is she has to show that she got enough income and without job she can't , which lead to go for the joint sponsor route or assets.

But with your situation when assets are not enough , you must find join sponsors , even her family members will be able to do that.

Without join sponsor or enough assets , it's impossible.

No income and no co-sponsor/joint sponsor means no approval , she has to ask someone to help out and be joint sponsor.

Edit : How about adding money to the bank to make it more than enough ?
