Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Netherlands Police Certificate NVC Checklist

I'm also curious about this. I will encounter this problem at some point. I know they do not accept the "good conduct" certifications.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Any Dutch/American couples??

Hi,
 
Can you tell me how you paid for the I-130 form, I understood it had to be a check from a US bank?  I am American and my husband is Dutch, we've lived in Holland for 13 years but are ready to move/migrate to the US. 
 
Thanks




I still have my U.S. bank account, and I found some old checkbook in the bottom of my junk drawer, so I was able to pay that way. I'm not sure how you could do it otherwise. I'm not sure if Dutch banks can issue U.S. money orders.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)Any Dutch/American couples??

Hi all! My Austrian husband and I have been living in Den Haag for four years now. We were married in Connecticut in May 2009 and then "fled" to Holland because neither of our countries recognized our marriage and we had nowhere else to live together. Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled marriage discrimination unconstitutional (at the federal level) we can finally apply for immigration! We mailed out the I-130 on 16 July, and received the confirmation email on 22 July 2013.

 

Thankfully we're not in any specific hurry, but we can't wait to get back to DC! I'm so homesick! I hope the process doesn't take longer than 6 or 7 months! I feel like I've been in exile because of who I love, and it's been killing me for so long. At least now there's hope.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNothing to worry about at interview??? (split topic)

If my husband and I have been married for 5 years and living together the whole time, we don't have anything to worry about at the interview, right? I presume if our I-130 is approved and the NVC considers our case complete, the interview is more or less a formality...I hope.

 

In Amsterdam only the beneficiary is allowed at the interview, so my hubby is a bit nervous. :)

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 petition transferred to Local office from VSC

hi ,

 

I filed the i-751 in mid-July and i had the biometrics done in August 14. Today i got an online notice my case has been transferred to the local uscis office(baltimore). I have send all the needed supporting documents (joint financial documents, joint tax return, joint insurance ,affidavits, pictures and so on).I didn?t get  RFE or anything. It?s only been 2 month since I filled the petition .I have read online it?s when they want to interview they send files to local office but I was thinking they will do that after they send an RFE first. Does anybody have an experience of this kind?

 

 

Thanks?

Hi All,

 

I applied for ROC on July 17 and my case was transferred to CSC from VSC in septemeber .I also setup the case status notification thingy.when saw the july filers here most of them are  approved  and  very few got RFE. My question is ,GOD forbid but  if i got an RFE  will the online notification send me an email or text ? I'm asking  this because i'm not getting any mail recently at home.

 

Thanks.

Ya, we're well aware of that, but we're hoping for one in August. In fact, it was brought to our attention by a supervisor that they are currently booking interview dates for August and we could be in that batch. Due to their incompetence, our case was delayed for a couple of weeks. 

 

You realize they can only give you an August interview date if there is actually one available from Montreal?

Hey girumg, I'm interested to see how that turns out for your. My spouse also got a PCC from her local police station but didn't get it annotated for CPIC. Did you get a checklist from NVC saying they won't accept the PCC? Any update from the supervisor review? I'm afraid I might have to go through the same thing.

 

Thanks for you info.

 

Well we just heard great news from NVC this morning that our case is complete!!!

And yes they sent us a checklist but the supervisor that was dealing with our case said to ignore it and that it wasn't relevant since we had a PCC already. The issue was confirming if whether the PCC they had on file for us met their requirements.

 

Less than a week starting from July 4th, 2013, here is a detailed breakdown of what happened:

 

When we first called to check the status of our case if whether the DS-260 supporting documents were reviewed or not, they told us they got everything except the PCC so we emailed it again per their instruction and called the next day to check the status. When we called, the first line reps kept telling us that we had to wait another 20 business days until the resent PCC would be reviewed and we just could not accept the unfairness of that. After persistently asking to speak to a supervisor, they finally transfered us to Julie (she was very helpful btw) to find that they actually had our PCC this whole time but it was unacceptable. The sad thing was, whoever reviewed our case failed to make a note for the first line reps that they actually received the PCC but it was not accepted and could have avoided emailing the PCC again. Getting back to speaking to Julie, she pulled up all the documents we sent and she then referred us to their website to read their specific instructions.(http://travel.state....5.html?cid=9013) So we read it while she was on the phone and also had our PCC in front of us and told her we did meet the requirements. She insisted that it should annotate CPIC on the certificate. She said that she will request the department that reviews cases to review it again but in the mean time try getting a PCC that annotates CPIC. 

We called our local police first thing in the morning and stated exactly what NVC told us and they said after having us read the certificate to the rep at the police service center. She said it was the right and only kind they issued and that the National Criminal Records Repository which was annotated on our PCC uses the CPIC database and that their ONE entity. Also, if NVC wanted to confirm, she gave us a number they could call. So with that information, we called NVC immediately after to inform them of this new information we received from our local police and that there was no other PCC that they issue. So we requested we speak to a supervisor (initially, the first line rep said no, but we insisted and we got through to one) The supervisor said that Julie put in a request already and we have to wait 10-15 business days which we didn't buy because Julie said to call her Wednesday July 10th, after 4pm. So we gave her the updated information to pass on to Julie. We called NVC again later on in the evening to speak to Julie because she gets in after 4pm and when we did, she said that our PCC was in fact correct and will email the department that reviewed our case to fix the issue asap. We repeatedly said that our case could have been completed earlier if NVC hadn't overlooked their own guidelines for PCC and that it was completely their fault. We also asked if they could squeeze us in for an interview in August since we were told they were only booking for September since August was full. 

After all said and done, we felt vindicated by hearing that our PCC was accepted this morning and our case was complete. We plan on calling Julie after 4pm today and pushing for an interview in August.

 

One thing we've had to learn sadly was that first line reps have limited information because those reviewing the cases don't pass on accurate and complete information to them. For that reason, it is imperative that you request to speak to a supervisor. If you have to persist then do so, or you'll just keep waiting for nothing and ultimately prolong your processing time. 

Hope this helps.

CanadaPolice Clearance help!!!!

We got a PCC from our local police station and it didn't annotate CPIC but rather the 'National Criminal Record Repository' and NVC is saying they won't accept it. But their own website gives the following instructions which we meet:

 

Applicants may obtain a certificate of no conviction issued by any Canadian police service so long as it notes that Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) or the national criminal records repository was searched using the applicant's name and date of birth." 

 

http://travel.state....5.html?cid=9013

 

For this reason we requested a supervisor review the our PCC again because according to the Toronto Police, the PCC they issued to us is standard for immigration purposes. They said that CPIC is a database that National Criminal Record Repository uses, so their one entity.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 stuck at NBC??

True.  That's the official number for USCIS National Customer Service Center.  But, in our case, they kept giving us the "you're still within the processing time period" line and even specifically told us the case was not sent to a local office.  So, we wanted to call any number in NBC directly and find out about our case.  It worked in our case.

 

The number to call is on your Notice of Action letter.

There's no reason for all of that.


Here's the number from the email: 1-800-375-5283.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 stuck at NBC??

We called the number on this site:

 

http://www.uscis.gov...000082ca60aRCRD

 

They will tell you they don't deal with I-130, but ask to speak with a supervisor.

Does your case show up at all in the USCIS case status check?  If it doesn't you might be in the same situation we were in.  Ours never showed up in the case status check site.  
After a little more than 2 months form our NOA1, we asked the USCIS reps about our case and they were telling us the same thing they were telling you.  We never knew and they never told us it was transferred to the local office.  
 
When we got desperate, we called a number we found of an adoption area of NBC in a google search and asked to speak with a supervisor and begged him to look up our case.  He looked it up and he told us it was sent to our local field office.  Mind you, nobody had told us about this ever before.
 
We then made an InfoPass appointment to our local field office and found out that our case was closed and was sent to archives without updating the USCIS system and without any correspondence to us!  The lady at the field office told us that this was a big mix-up and that she would not know what the decision was until she recalls the record form archives, opens it and looks at it.  She said there is a possibility that it could have been approved too.  She took down our number to call us but has yet to call us.  But what we then did was called NVC and gave them our case number to check to see if they've received anything from USCIS.  We were very surprised to hear that NVC had received it and was processing it without our knowledge!  USCIS never sent us any correspondence after the NOA1 and the status check still says case not found.  NVC told us USCIS approved our case in less than 2 months.  We're now going thru NVC processing.
 
I hope your case is similar and it's just a big mix-up.
