After the NVC got our case I told my husband to call the NVC directly twice a week. ;)

Received the same but that's a false checklist.

 

 

We haven't heard from the NVC but in this forum i read alot about getting false check list. How do you know if its a false check list from the real one? Thanks! :)

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

My husband called yesterday at the NVC and finally we got our case number. He asked for the Invoice number as well but the person at NVC told him we can't use it until we get an update from them.

 

We called our laywer and the paralegal just told us to wait for the NVC. How long does it normally take after we get the case number to finally go to the next step?

 

NVC received our case last Dec. 24 but they told us they just started processing it in January 21.

So we paid both AOS and IV last March 7.After 3 working days the AOs status appeared paid but until today the Iv is still 'in process'. My husband called the nvc last monday and they told him they are having problems with their system. He called again today and they gave him the same reason. Is anyone here experiencing this? It's been 3 days they should have fix it already right? :(

my pd was march 11, less than 1 hour ago they send us email and text message update on our case status, and then i checked my case status at uscis website and it says was approved on Nov.25.
à
we were transferred to Nebraska service center, on Oct.31.à

I think is a matter of days for everyone, just be patient and do something else to keep yourself busy in the meantime.




Wow we have the same pd, new service center and transfer date! I hope we got ours today as well. Congratulations! ;)

March filers:

 

Here is the spreadsheet for transfers on Google docs. As you can see, there is a lot of key information missing. If you see any key information (transfer, location, NOA2) that you know to be incorrect, let me know by leaving a comment on the doc. I would provide an editable document that we could collaborate on, but as I mentioned before, some of the Excel 2010 functions do not work properly on Google Spreadsheets.

We have same scenario Angelbijoi, when I checked my status, it says it was transferred to Lee Summit Missourri, but the fact is, it's really the address of MSC or NBC so I don't know why they want us to be confused. And when my husband called USCIS the other day, the representative told him to wait for a notice within 30 days for the next step. I just hope the good news is coming our way..

 

I hope so too. We've been waiting for a long time already protest6wz.gif

Hi guys, our NOA 2 was approved last Nov. 29 and we got an email from USCIS that they shipped our case to NVC last Dec. 3, My husband called NCV last night (Manila time) and they told him they received it last Dec. 24 and to call they after 2-3 weeks for the case number. What documents from my end do I need to prepare while waiting for the case number? I'm quite overwhelmed. hehe.

PhilippinesMedical exam

Hi rhead!

 

Normally it takes 1-2 days. :) They will not give you the results but they will tell you if they find something during your xray. If everything goes well, you will get the list of the vaccines they will give you and a cd of your xray which you will present during the interview.

PhilippinesMedical Exam with no appointment date yet

Hi JanRay,

 

Just to be sure I wrote St. Lukes and asked if I could take an advance medical exam. This is their reply:

 

Normally, appointment letter from the US Embassy or Instruction letter from the NVC with the date of interview is presented to us during the medical examination. However it is your discretion to have the medical examination without the appointment letter, for as long as you know your case number and visa preference category.

 

I think the results of the medical exam is valid for 6 months only :)

US Citizenship General DiscussionSend N400 while traveling abroad

And has continued to meet the requirements since July, right?

I am not exactly sure what the requirements are, do you mean the continue residency requirement? She left the country on Sep 26, will be back mid Feb, less than 6 months. Can you be more specific, thank you.
I also just realize Part 7, section C - she will have a most recent trip left date, but no return date yet. Will this cause a red flag?

US Citizenship General DiscussionSend N400 while traveling abroad

You don't have to be physically in the country but you must have met the continuous residence requirements. So... as long as she has maintained residence while being away on vacation, then that's fine. Just make sure to read everything .... twice. No one part of the application or instructions should be taken in isolation.

awesome, thank you, this is great news, even though it is only a few weeks earlier. she already met the requirements back in July.

US Citizenship General DiscussionSend N400 while traveling abroad
Thank you Moz. that was great info, do you know if I can mail N400 while she is away, she is coming in a month, I am just trying to speed up as much as I am allowed by mailing it now. But if this is not ok (means you have to be physically in the country when you mail N400), then I will wait. If this speed things up by a month, it is totally worth it.

US Citizenship General DiscussionSend N400 while traveling abroad

the citizenship n-400 should take about 5 to 6 months, filing and oath ceremony,

That's what we are hoping for her, so if we file now, it would be about July when she gets oath ceremony. She won't be back in the country until February 10th, I am thinking about mailing out her N400 right now so when she is back, it would be just in time for her fingerprint appointment. Is this allowed? She will be here for her appointments, just want to find out if the application can be mailed when she is not here.

US Citizenship General DiscussionSend N400 while traveling abroad
My mom is currently abroad for medical reasons (she doesn't have insurance here), she will be back in a couple of months. She qualifies for naturalization and we have filled out N400 (signed). My question is, can I mail N400 out a couple weeks before she returns. I think it takes about a month between application submission to biometrics appointment. The hope is to kind of speed things up cause New York is very slow. She is hoping to have citizenship before summer/fall for a family reunion trip or as soon as possible. Please don't say a couple of weeks doesn't matter, I am just trying to see if it is allowed or not. Thank you.

US Citizenship General Discussionquestion regarding physical presence in the US (30months)
Thank you, that was helpful.

Is it correct that the 5 years means "immediately before" filing N400? so it is a sliding 5 year, not since GC date?

The reason she travels so much is for medical reason (insurance in US is too expensive for non-citizen), but you are also correct that she didn't stay longer outside because of the requirement, we didn't want her to have trouble reenter so each time she only left for less than 6 months.

It looks like we will need to wait much longer than expected because she was in US more at the beginning, so each day she stays now, if 5 years ago same day she was already in US, then it doesn't really count (or i should say it does not decrease a days she is out).

The other thing i noticed is that if she had not left on Sep24th and apply then, everything would have been ok. This last trip is a big problem.
