I am hoping to get an expedite for an interview date. 6 or 7 more months is awful! She said they dont make that decision though..that the US embassy does..abotu an expedite..what do you think??



I am agreed with Dr. Ling about the name, second that senator might help even more.

You should just wait little longer and your dream will come through....


I should just wait a little longer? There are people from Jamaica that had case complete in June and still do not have interviews. Case complete does not hold the same hope for me as it does people from countries with a fast interview date. and nimche, werent you the one that mentioned she was that kind of supervisor anyway?
shew- i need a break. stressful week. you guys have a GREAt weekend smile.gif Hopefully there wont be too many more weekends alone!!

I didnt call asking for an expedite. I called asking about my RFE and they sent me to her. I didnt even know she was for expedites. But now that she is given so much attention over this debate I guess it defeats the purpose of telling me not to mention a name. After I talked to her we talked about an expedite..but taht is not why I called her.
My senator- his advice was file the 129F and they would "mail it to me" 3 days later I received a large envelope with 4 pages of directions..no forms. Not to mention that i know where to get the forms from and I didnt need them. this is just one of the lovely interactions I have had with him. Joyful.
So- sorry for the name drop, but I didnt associate her with the expedite until someone else already did.

Grrr... wacko.gif

I got an RFE on the DS-230...and for something that I included in the packet!

They are requesting an original or certified copy of my hubby's BC. The problem is that I already sent the certified copy and a copy of the certified copy along with my packet. I told the operator that the BC I sent is the official certified copy and that it is even stamped in blue ink with the registrar's seal. She said that it's in "final review" and to wait 10 to 15 days to see if they'll accept it anyway. From how she said it, it sounds like they'll still give me a "case complete", but that I'll have to bring another certified copy to the interview?

I'm just confused because, first, she stated that the DS-230 review had been completed and then she went on to tell me that a checklist had been sent out. Then, she told me to ignore the checklist because they might still accept the copy I sent?

I'm soooo confused... blink.gif

Has anyone had to deal with this?



i got that with the DS230 too..but it was something else, nto the birth certificate..so when I called to ask about it they didnt really know why and told me the same thing.

Thanks for the package Nimche, it helps...just hard to swallow sometimes.

SGR, I haven't seen Shpat...I think he was captured by Albanians that want Kosova back.

Oh...and whoever started publishing Supervisor Sxx's name....not sure that's the best thing to do.
I think we should share that kind of information via PM, rather than on an open forum.

I mean, publishing government policies, forms, and what not...I think that should be public.
But specific names...could have an adverse effect. Besides the obvious privacy issues, it means that
people who don't really have a need for them, may start requesting them because they know the name...and
then these great, friendly, efficient, and accessible supervisors....will not be.

Contacting Supervisor Sxx for an expedite request, is perfectly fine. But contacting her because you're not getting an IIN
or because you don't know where to get your medical, or because of something else that you can either find or that is nearly impossible...
well, I think you see what I mean.

Just my thoughts.



It was me..but i didnt say ANYTHING about an expedite in my post. She just happened to be the supervisor I was transferred to. Someone else said they dealt with her for that.

Its more like the IIN problem. You should just keep asking them. I remember I asked 3 times and I couldn't talk to a supervisor. And somthing I am not sure that whether or not the supervisor is from the calling company or NVC.

Hi shrewdgal,

this is the address you send an RFE:

National Visa Center
ATTN: DR
32 Rochester Ave.
Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909

Good luck

Thanks Martina!
I called the NVC last night and they pulled up my case and we couldnt understand why I had RFE on any of them except maybe one question (they said 4 questions were incomplete) One was question 13..which was his present address one was his institutions..which were not incorrect...so I dont know.... So they were going to get a supervisor to pull my file and it would take "10-15 business days"
whatever!
I just did the form again and corrected a couple of things. Hope that works!

Nicole, ask for references on the forums. This is too important to take a chance with some rip-off lawyer who thinks immigration is a walk in the park. This is really life altering stuff and knowing the material is essential!

Regarding RFEs -- yeah, we almost all did get one, didn't we. So RFE must stand for Really Freaking Excellent!




hahahahah smile.gif
I think it is their mistake.
They all have to do with addresses and Im not sure they dont realize that in Jamaica there is no residential street number/address, its only by district unless in a big city

Thanks. Mine is for all those stupid date questions. who knows!!!
What should I do?
Im not exactly sure what I did wrong on those questions, she just siad they were "incomplete"
Should I call back tonight (teacher-no freetime) and ask them EXACTLY what I did wrong?
I am wondering if it is because of the addresses. Jamaica has no REAL address...just districts.... and every question asked for an address...

yeah I knew all that, that you needed "evidence" but it was all weird stuff like basically more of the type stuff you need for I-864

I have been there 10 times in 1 year...two of those times I stayed 2 months each... I figure thats proof enough

what do we need to be gathering for the interview? someone talked about bank statements..do we need those??

when I call the AVR still says "immigration visa bill has been sent and you should receive it in 6 weeks"
even though I have paid it all and the only thing they needed was the DS230 and I sent it Friday (so they should get it tomorrow).
is that the normal response even after they have already received the I864 package?

Not long now, Shrewd!!

I felt the wind come out of my sails on the RFE, too. I think it is the helplessness wondering if I really understood what the heck they wanted that did it. We all studied so hard so we could avoid RFEs and yet so many of us got them that it ought to tell us all something both about the process and about how common RFEs are. IOW, don't beat yourself up. The system isn't perfect and they want to be sure they understand the actual situation and they're not shy about asking for more info or something different. I think it helps to interpret what they say to us on the phone as best as we can and then to provide as much explanation as possible to cover all contingencies.

What I do like is how quickly they resolve simple misunderstandings. They completed our case the day they got the RFE response.

And I'm glad I called even if it didn't give me a firm understanding of the problem they had. It gave me *some* understanding.

Our August group is so close to being done with the horrific part of the journey. I'll miss you guys when we settle into our lives with our spouses.

Just remember to name your children after Ling Ling. I'm changing my Jessica's name to Ling on Monday. She's 13 and still has time to get used to the idea. We may change Colin's name to Ling Ling, too.

And no I don't have an interview yet, but of course I knew this already. And I really wish I hadn't called, because as anticipated I've now slipped back into that obsessive state where I can't think of anything else and feel nauseous all the time. I hate the waiting. The NVC stage was good, because it moved as fast as you did and you always had updates available, unlike USCIS where you submit your petition then fall into a black hole until you're either approved, denied, or RFE'd. But now its another heavy helping of just waiting and not being able to do anything to control the outcome.

I'm not particularly good at that whole "accept the things I cannot change" thing... lol

hey guys!
two questions!
1) on loto's coversheet she said we need "Original/Certified Passport Office Police Certificate for Beneficiary " she lists this separate than the PCC. um...what is this? im abotu to freak out!

2)....where is the website with the ds-230 form? I filled it out already but made a mistake and now cant remember where I even got it from..

thanks guys!!


The second police certificate listed in Loto's guide is specific to applicants from India. We should actually update the wiki to indicate that since this is becoming a common question. The DS-230 form can be found here.



Thank you SO much! I was starting to panic! hahaha
that is a good idea..to update that. There is just so much information it is overwhelming! I had this all ready and put together to be mailed out before i went to visit my husband for the summer and must have known that at the time because I did not include anything else!

QUESTIONS:
1) ok...so the guy said that we would get our original docs back at the port of entry. i am so confused about how this works. does he mean that the service center where i filed will route the docs to me? or does he mean that the docs will be forwarded to customs/border patrol? someone plz explain how the process works.
2) when i sent in the DS230, i checked the box requesting a SS card. however, how long does this take? i called the local SS office and they advised that it takes about 3 weeks following the receipt of the visa for the SS card to be sent to our US address. however, the lady didn't really seem to confident with her response so i'm wondering if it would be easier/faster to go to the local SS office?

i'd appreciate your feedback, guys! thanks so much!



Congrats!
1) We did NOT get our originals back sad.gif
2) he has been home 2 weeks tomorrow and still no SSN
so..we are going to drop by the office next week and see wht we can do smile.gif

Hey guys!

W got thru!
the interview was really really really easy!
We were there for hours only to be called up , the male interviewer looked at my passport immediately asked me to pick up the phone and then asked me "when did you meet, how many times did you visit, do you have kids together" hubby answered the last one out loud and then the interviewer laughed, told me to put down the phone since he could hear anyway and then said "thanks for coming to the interview maam, that makes things a lot easier. congratulations"

I am SERIOUS when I say they did not ask hubby even ONE question!!!

so...we just checked the DHL site and it says:

Thursday, February 19, 2009 Time Location
Shipment on hold 15:02 Kingston - Jamaica
Shipment picked up 14:02 Kingston - Jamaica


what does that mean shipment on hold??

STACEY


Congrats Stacey! You're one step closer.



Stacey,
With such short time to the interview it would probably be in your benefit to try to go to Andrews Memorial in Kingston.
M's interview was on a Wednesday and he could pick up the results the following Tuesday.

Hello Everyone,

I called NVC last night the Automated System says My case has been forwarded to Kingston (IR1), Feb. 13th, When will i receive packet 4? i emailed the embassy i got a reply automated message, i am a bit confused i thought that NVC wont send the case to kingston unless they have a interview date.

Stacey


There is no packet 4 with CR-1..so...maybe you have an interview....but...youd better check that out bc it would be soon. I would call and talk with a live operator
