Happy New Year to all VJ members! I feel good this year,keeping the good vibes! Still waiting for my case number from NVC,the last time we called them the operator said we're not in the system yet so i was assuming that they just haven't done inputting data into their system.My case was shipped on Dec. 16 so we're gonna call them tomorrow and see if they could atleast give us some feedback. dancin5hr.gif

t

Are IV fee is also not a available to pay. Are DS-261 show completed on 11 Feb and are AOS Fee showed Paid on the 18th, was mailed on the 19th,received at the NVC on 20th. Maybe they are back-logged due to the bad weather they've had there. Hope to see the DS- 260 available to pay this week. Is anyone else having this issue to.

 

We are in the same boat....

Feeling a bit bummed out....today is 20 business days since NVC received my case.  I will keep calling....one day at a time eh.

 

Husband is coming to visit in 2 weeks....and we will be celebrating our 1 year anniv.  I am thankful we can spend it together but I know it is going to be so difficult to see him go back to Canada.

 

NVC recieved our case on Jan. 08 also and still no case number yet.I just called earlier and the rep. said up to 20 business days,this is taking forever!ClockWatch2.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - February 2014

hey guys, for AOS does nvc checks if one filed single or married? my wife is obviously not here in the states nor i have a number to claim her , even tho we are married in her country how can i file married if i cant claim her, theres a spot that if u file married it asks for her info.. i have a joint sponsor anyways , can anyone clarify please.
thanks

 

Read IRS publication 501 under filing status.My husband filing married separately and for spouse information (that's me) he put NRA (None Resident Alien) you could also do married filing jointly but you have to attached an IRS W7 form,more paper work but better tax benefits.It's all in that publication :)

        On my ipad so not totally sure if everything I "quoted". But YAY for the case completes - our timelines were so close and for once it actually makes sense to get approvals around the same time! Haha

Also thanks for the congrats smile.png

Irra - I totally dreamed about this last nigh too - no joke! I dreamt I got the case complete but was so skeptical cuz.... well visa process. So I checked whatever paperwork (in my dream) a bunch of times and the. Got super excited.




Rick rant and iamwhatiam- you have to be so close to completes. Stoked for you

I know all of us on this thread have had a long journey and I hope that things continue to keep moving along. This part was way shorter than than the NOA1 to NOA2.

And as far as checklists - I got one saying they didn't get my IV package after my AOS was accepted (and freaked out and called them twice to confirm it was false).

Lowered expectations....

Anyhow, THANKYOU to everyone for input, support, PMs and all of everything - especially Saylin for keeping this thread on track.








Gwenstar-Wow! i think we're dreaming with the same exact thing hahahah!As soon as i woke up i got online and check the CEAC website first but no changes then also check my email but nothin so i called my husband to hurry home and call the NVC coz i got a great feeling about something great!and that was it!dancin5hr.gif

I called NVC to ask about the AOS & IV we sent them,the rep. told me that my AOS has been reviewed and completed and IV is also under review.He told me to wait 2 to 4 weeks for the review and that they are working overtime and also on Saturday to clear the backlog.[/quote
Glad u completed the aos without checklist. Did tey said to you that only this saturday or untill the backlog is finish?



 

Well i didn't ask if till when they're gonna work overtime but in my understanding they just wanna clear the backlog for now,that's why they are working overtime and on Saturdays.It means they are gonna work overtime till the backlog is clear :)
