IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2014	Congrats to all Case Completes.  Great end to the month      I hope I'm wrong, but it sounds like you might have a for real check list. When I called, the Agent told me I was getting a check list but to disregard it as it was just a reminder to send in the civil documents. She told me right away that it was approved. Granted, some Agents are dooody-heads and won't give out any information because they're on a power trip. If I were in your shoes, I'd call back and pray for a better Agent and verify if I was getting an actual check list or if the AOS has been approved.       so sorry to hear about the checklist! When I called and they told me about mine, I got the email later that day, so hopefully it should be soon. In my case, they definitely had the information on what the checklist was for, even read our which section of the form needed to be changed and, when asked about, how to do it. I guess you could call back and try to get more information or wait for the email and then call back to confirm with them exactly what the checklist means and what they need. I called back after receiving the email to do exactly this and it was helpful and made me feel more confident in what I was sending.    Good luck, and just know that it will end! I know how frustrating it can be but we got through our checklists, now have case complete, and are waiting for an interview. You'll get there too!    So it was a real checklist.  Hubby put adjusted income and not gross (got confused by the instruction about 1040EZ).  Can't believe we have delayed our case, especially after "celebrating" our  immiversary on Saturday.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2014	Did you ask if the check list was for a specific item or if it's been accepted?   P.S. I assume you meant June 27th   Oh God!!  yes, JUNE 27th.  I hope this isn't an omen that I'll be checklisted fully and it won't be reviewed July 27th lol.     I asked if he had the detail and he told me no, that all he could see is that it was generated.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2014	Called NVC, agent Carl informed me that my AOS Checklist was generated on July 27th. Hoping it's a false checklist.  Haven't recieved the email yet, anyone know roughly how long it takes? (and please don't tell me 30 business day LOL)	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-06-30 08:30:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2014 Interviews	Congrats to all those with scheduled interviews.  I called but no interview scheduled at the moment for me.     Quick question, how soon after scheduling is the interview email sent?  Got my CC email today, 1 week after CC which is consistent with others.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2014 Interviews	Hi all. Finally got my Case Complete yesterday after 161 painful days at NVC and over 14 months since NOA.   Hoping I get an interview scheduled soon, as it appears I am just in time for October scheduling!   Congratulations Amanda, great to see that the NVC managed to resolve the issues, AND you've made the case complete in time for the 1st round of interview scheduling	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-28 07:08:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2014 Interviews	I have a question, I hope I ask it at the right place.... HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO LEAVE OUR COUNTRY ONCE WE RECEIVE OUR IR-1/CR-1 VISA? IS THERE A CERTAIN TIME ALLOWED?? OR CAN WE LEAVE LIKE 2 DAYS AFTER, OR 6 MONTHS LATER?? Thank you all for enlightening me!       You can leave the same day you have the visa, and up to the date the visa expires which is normally 6 months from the date of the medical	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-26 17:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2014 Interviews	Wohoo, NVC shipped all the Documents to corresponding countries it seems!   I have a question, Are we going to get interview scheduled by NVC or by Consulate once they have papers?   How did you find out they had shipped the docs to the embassies/consulates?  Did you call the NVC?  I believe the interviews are scheduled by the NVC based on the available appointments sent to them by the Embassies/Consulates.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2014 Interviews	We made it home last night!!! Minneapolis POE was super easy. The first CBP was a bit grumpy and when my husband showed the flimsy white 'do not open' package (it traveled through 4 countries with no tears!) the agent said 'oh yay, another one'. He said my husband needs to go to the Passport Control room and wait for an officer there. I asked if I could go back with him and he said 'yea if you want, just warning you, you're going to be there for a while'. I made a joke that I'll just go home and get the car then. Went down like a led balloon! We go to the room where I made another crack that we were sent to the principal's office. The second CBP heard me and said 'this is NOT the principal's office, this is the GOOD room!' He asked one question, when did we file. We said Sept 2013 and he said 'that's it?!' I gave him a Madea look and he said 'some people wait years for this!' I told him I was fully aware. Since I kept chiming in throughout the conversation, the CBP dude asked if my photo should be on the green card (while laughing). He said he tries to have a sense of humor and I told him it was appreciated as we've read horror stories. Naturally, he said don't believe everything we read. Visa stamped, signed, and my husband finger printed. We asked about the social security card and he said they have no control over that, since it was completed on the DS-260 which is a DoS document (makes sense).   So happy for you bdrew!  Congratulations!

Good luck!     Congratulations     Congratulations, feels good to know NVC is moving forward with last scanned dates.   Thanks guys.  (sorry took me so long to thank you, I was away at the weekend with no internet, back into the real world today)   Good luck to all those waiting/expecting/hoping/wishing/praying for CC's this week.  NVC seemed to be throwing Case Complete's at us like crazy on Friday, here's hoping that trend continues.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Agent Red just confirmed I have CASE COMPLETE!!!  Woohoo.  Thanks everyone for the support and advice.  Apologies to the newer folks who didn't get the same level of support from me as I dipped away from the forums for a few weeks.  Best of luck to all of you, especially those with NOA1 dates from Summer 2013.     Any case complete July 9th?? 10th??   MEEEEE!           Awesome!!! Good luck!   Thankyou   Congratulations !   Dont get mad at me VJ members but I am more happy to see July 9th CCs than any other date as I am one of them awaiting CC        Thanks, best of luck to you too!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Oooh, just logged onto CEAC and my AOS fee has changed to N/A!  In the queue for the NVC as we speak!  (July 9th scan date)	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-22 10:28:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Last scan date of July 2.. still no CC July 2nd.. still waiting for a CC   Fingers crossed you hear something soon.  Maybe today is your day!	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-21 10:56:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Any July 9th progress yet?  Waiting on CC from AOS Checklist scanned Jul 9th.	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-21 10:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Ugh, I'm sorry, that sucks. We've also completed the EZ form and are submitting 2011-2013, and I'm so scared about this. What did you do about the line that says to leave blank if same address as above? I read about a *lot* of people getting checklists for leaving it blank (...when it says to leave it blank). Did you put N/A or did you just repeat the same address twice?   We repeated the same address twice.	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-19 17:08:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Oh, thank you so much! This clarifies a lot. What was your AOS checklist for?   We filed the EZ form and used Gross Adjusted income instead of Gross Income.  Worst part is, we submitted 2011 - 2013 but only 2013 actually gave a different figure, so we had 1 minor error.	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-19 16:56:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Hey, sorry to bother you. How do you find out the scan date? By calling? Does NVC understand this terminology? (Sorry if this seems silly, but ...how do you ask?). I believe I understand the NVC process up to the part where I send the AOS and IV packages, but then it's a little bit of a mystery. Do you call every week (or however often) and ask if the packages have been scanned/reviewed/accepted or do you find out some other way? Thank you!   I just ask for case updates.  They then tell you if docs have been received (scanned in VJ terminology) or sometimes that they are under review since [date].     They will tell you if a review has taken place and docs were accepted, or if they need something else (checklist).  To quote the agent I spoke to last week "call as often as you like, however we will notify you by email"   From personal experience, I've received the following notifications:   DS-261 ready to be completed AOS Fee available IV invoice available checklist for AOS review of IV.	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-19 16:31:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Can I use the AOS cover sheet to send the IV package?????   A lot of people have had success doing that.  Officially it's not recommended.  The only difference in the address on the cover sheet is that the AOS has "Attn: CMR AOS", whereas the IV just has "Attn: CMR"   If I was doing sending the IV on the AOS cover sheet, I'd whiteout the "AOS" part of the address.   Edited by ColGil, 19 August 2014 - 04:19 PM.	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-19 16:18:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Thanks a lot Colgil. What happens if you send your AOS and IV documents separately? Will your scan date start afresh? We got a mail saying our AOS document was recieved on the 16th July (I'm assuming that is the scanned date?) and our IV documents on August 10th.   Unfortunately they do review docs separately.  Keep an eye of for people with scan dates on or around July 16th and you'll find out if your AOS docs were accepted or checklisted (praying you don't).  You will get a false checklist if it's approved saying everything is good, but that they are still waiting on your IV docs.  You can then ignore that.  If it's a genuine checklist they will tell you what they need for you to resubmit and the date they receive that will be the date you are working towards for a case complete.  If it is a false checklist then the date you are working towards will be the IV docs on Aug 10th.  (again providing no checklist on those).  I'm sure you get the jist.    EDIT:  Take a look at my timeline, I was checklisted on my AOS docs.   Edited by ColGil, 19 August 2014 - 04:15 PM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Hi, please what is exactly is a scanned date? Is it significant ?   The scan date is the the date the mail room scan your documents and it shows on their system as received.  This is also the date they tell you your documents were received (even although your USPS delivery receipt will show the actual date it arrived in their mail-room).  They also sometimes referred to it as the date your documents started their review.     The relevance of this date, is that this is the date they work from.  They do review documents in order received, in a sense, but it appears that multiple docs may be assigned to a case worker and some are faster at reviewing than others so you may see people with a scan date after you being reviewed before you.     They reason we all ask what scan dates are is it helps give us an idea on which date range the NVC are working on and help us to estimate when we will see movement on our own cases.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Finally case complete after such a long wait. Called today and they told me I have cc since yesterday. I had to call one more time because I just couldn't believe it! :-) :-) :-)   Congratulations!!!     What was your last doc scan date?	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-19 14:25:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Hey, just about to send our AOS package, it's 58 pages long!!! Was anyone's else's that huge? Thanks   Sounds about right, we were 52 pages!	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-19 12:23:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	My AOS scan date is July 18 and IV scan date is August 18. I'm guessing I should start counting 60 days from my last scan date for the process to be completed? Do they review AOS and IV documents separately?     Unfortunately yes, they will review them in the order received.  Even if another packet has been scanned and waiting for review by the time they review the first packet, they will only review the first one.  So frustrating.  Wish they could use common sense and review both at the same time.	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-19 11:55:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Hi guys, Just called NVC and came to know that they are reviewing my AOS and IV Documents. So how long does it take them to review it?   The use the term "reviewing" from the date they scan your documents.  They tell me I have documents in review since July 9th.  I then ask, does that mean they have been physically allocated to an individual who is currently reviewing the documents, or does this mean that they are waiting to be allocated to someone for review.  They then usually tell me it's waiting to be reviewed.     Just ask for clarification, then you will be told 60 days.

I had to go outside and run.   Congratulations!!  Woop Woop.     Hello All   My Wifes father expired 3 months back and we are still stuck at NVC stage. My wife is going through a very tough time right now. Can I file NVC expedite based on the above situation with the necessary docs   Please advice   Thanks for the help !! Bobby   I'm sorry to hear about your father in law, I can understand how difficult it on both of you.  You can file the expedite, but my only advice is, please don't get your hopes up.  It seems to be notoriously difficult to get one, but it won't delay anything by requesting one, so go for it.  And good luck!    I would like to know your advice, I am a Jan. filler and I have no news up to now. what do you guys think should I call USCIS to follow up or wait more?   I'm unsure what step of the process you are at so can't assist without clarification:  Have you had your NOA2 from the USCIS and waiting for your case to arrive at the NVC?  Edited by ColGil, 18 August 2014 - 03:09 PM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Update guys on my unbelievably horrible morning.  I have just spent the past 4 hours on this.   1 hour of that was spent in floods of tears to my husband on Skye.  I look a mess!!   Spoke to NVC about the IV checklist.  They would not put me through to a Supervisor although Kendall, the girl I spoke to was very helpful.  Will report as follows:   Birth Certificate - Hubby requested a Supervisor Review of this yesterday and they won't do anything until they look at it.  I am adopted so only have an Adoption Decree. This was perfectly acceptable 14 years ago when I got my first Green Card but apparently not anymore.  We also sent an original letter from the General Register Office in England explaining why I don't have a Birth Certificate but I suspect they have rejected it because it is not a 'Certified Statement'.  Am trying to get hold of England and get this Statement.   Australia Police Clearance for Queensland - I have sent them a National Certificate that covers all 7 States but is that good enough for NVC - you bet your bottom dollar it is NOT!  They want one for Queensland where I lived for 1 year 15 years ago.  Spoke to Queensland Police - there were SO nice.  They are just fed up with NVC for keep requesting people do this.  They cannot do a fingerprint Certificate as I don't live in QLD but can do a Criminal Check Certificate so I am going to get that.  NVC don't want to see this but are expecting me to have it at the interview.  They think that QLD will send it direct to Consulate but they don't, they send it to me.  I might then email Consulate and see if they want me to send it on.   Singapore Police Certificate - tried to explain to NVC that they don't send this to NVC anymore and the paperwork that NVC is totally out of date.  That fell on deaf ears.  So, I have applied for this, will wait for it to get to my house and will then send on to NVC.   By the time I wait for all my 60 days reviews I might be lucky to be there by Christmas but probably January.   I am just stunned with it all.   Have a great day everybody.  Love XXX     I am the USC  and I am adopted .   I know in the US, when you are adopted, the courts make the change to the birth cert, so when ever I get a birth cert it is the version with my parents who adopted me.  I don't have any access to my closed adoption records ( although I did meet my biological mother when I was 27)   I can just go online to  www.vitalchek.com and order whatever I need.   If adoptions are the same in other countries, the court records should reflect the adoption and you should be able to get the correct birth cert.    NVC wants the Birth Cert because your parents are listed on it with your birth date.   Being adopted doesn't matter   In the UK it's different:   "Full [Adoption] Certificates: A full certificate is a copy of ACR [Adopted Children Register] entry and includes the date of the order and the name of the court as well as the particulars of the adoptive parent(s). Their names cannot be shown on the certificates as though they were the natural parents, even if one of the parents is the birth mother or father."   Maybe this will help: https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-07 07:38:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	There must be two Joys! Hahaha When I spoke to her she was a terrible shrew.  I am so happy you are getting closer AND got great news today!    Thanks.  Yeah, it must be a different Joy.  My stomach lurched when she said her name, at the end of the call I actually asked her "did you say your name is Joy?" as I thought I must have misheard her lol.     I've also emailed the London embassy to explain the situation to see if they can perhaps request the case be sent.  I'm at the stage where I'll do anything to get that case complete haha.	ColGil	Male	Scotland	2014-08-07 06:28:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	O-M-G!!!  I actually fell off my seat.  Called the NVC and got the dreaded JOY, and let me tell you, she was LOVELY!!!  I'm not joking, she is by far the most helpful person I've spoken to so far.     I explained that everything has been accepted apart from 1 minor error on the AOS which I resubmitted and was received on July 9th.  I asked if given the current delay's to processing times and the backlogs if it would be possible to take the amended form straight into the Consulate interview, thus helping them with processing times and getting my case back on track.  She explained that sometimes for something minor, they do what's known as Pre-Approval where they just send everything on once the interview is scheduled without necessarily reviewing the checklisted document, but it's not something which can be instigated, it's up to the reviewing officer if they want to do that.     She was extremely pleasant, friendly voice tones and told me to have a great day at the end of the call.  Is there by any chance two Joy's working there?  Maybe because I was her first call of the day (it was 7am and I wasn on hold for all of 15 seconds and got through on the first attempt) she hadn't been put into her usual grumpy mood yet.  Or maybe all those complaints about her have paid off and she's finally realizing that friendly service equals friendly customers.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	So I got my second case closed letter today...... is that normal? Not that I really care, but is it normal? The email I received was an exact carbon copy of the one I received yesterday.       I just got a duplicate of my IV invoice email. I think they're having IT issues   I got a duplicate false checklist for my IV docs.  I called them up and she said that they sometimes send out two in error and just to ignore the 2nd one.  It was an exact duplicate apart from the date on the top.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Question...I keep reading that once you get your NOA2 hard copy to start calling NVC for case number etc . I have called two times and bot times I was told that YES they have my case but no there is not a case number yet and to call 30 days after NOA2 . I was told that calling within 1 or 2 weeks is too early ! Sooooo do I still keep calling every few days until I get a case number or what ? Both operators told me that it is taking the 30 days right now to enter case numbers.   Call as often as you want/can.  My case number was generated within a couple of days of them receiving the case, I've seen others waiting 30+ days so it's just luck of the draw    VISA APPROVED!!! We did it!!    My husband will be coming home with me after our anniversary/honeymoon! No more goodbyes, no more tears of sadness, no more hogging the bed!   SAYLIN, you are a rock star! Without your wiki, I know we would have been check listed! Thank you to everyone else for their support, laughs and ears for the last year, it's been quite a journey. My Oscar speech is on the September thread lol   CONGRATULATIONS!  Amazing news.  You can relax and start to forget this awful process.  So happy for you    hi everybody, both our fees status changed to paid today. we got the packets ready to mail out but the lawyer says to wait for the confirmation bar code or something the NVC will send us "in the mail", otherwise we would be check listed. I was not following this thread for nearly 2-3 months. I need members to tell me they are sending in the package according to Saylin's wiki with the required things right after the fee status changes to paid and not waiting for any confirmation thing and they are not receiving checklist for it.   The confirmation bar-code (probably the cover letter) is available in CEAC immediately after you make the payment, even if the payment isn't showing as paid.  You can print it off, or email it.  Perhaps you want to email it to your lawyer.  Log into CEAC payments portal and at the very bottom you'll see the options to email or print.  Just remember to click into both IV and AOS to print the different coversheets.       Quick question:   I am filling out the I-864 and can all entries be in ALL CAPS?   Are you completing on the computer or by hand?  If doing on computer, it doesn't matter but you can fit more letters into the boxes if you use lower case.  By hand it's easier to read uppercase/CAPS.  Up to you, I don't think you would get a checklist unless they couldn't read something.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Assuming the June 17th "60 days" scan date is complete tosh since NVC insist our DS-261 scan date is June 2nd, today is our 45th business day of waiting for the IV invoice. No response from congresswoman and my husband is hesitant to contact his senators because he's convinced we need to wait 60 business days from June 17th now    So the "60 day" email is just to stop us calling so frequently since they are delayed.  To have the DS-261 scanned on June 2nd and have no reply seems ridiculous.  The only thing I can think is that the DS-261, AOS, IV, DS-260 and Checklists are all dealt with by different teams.  I've spent so much time frustrated that people are getting docs approved before me, but I realize that people are getting DIFFERENT docs approved after me.  The only true way I've had of estimating dates is to see what those in the exact same timeline as me are getting.   Edited by ColGil, 05 August 2014 - 08:50 PM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've been on here.  Apologies I tried to catch up but with 71 pages it just isn't possible.  I've made a few observations/additions though:   60 day email, I received mine on Monday making reference to the docs they received Jun12th.  These are the IV docs which were delivered on the 12th but scanned on 17th.  My first thought is, they do make note of when they were delivered, hmmmm, funny how they never mention this date on the phone     Soooooo, my docs which were scanned June 17 were reviewed and approved on Aug 1st! Woooooo hooooo.  this is the IV docs if anyone is interested.  Still waiting on AOS review, it was scanned July 9th.  I see someone from scan date July 18th was approved but consensus seems to be attorneys push things along faster, so I just wait and see.     Congrats to all Aug CC's, and good luck everyone.  I'm going to try and  be more proactive again, but I really needed some time out from it all and it's done me the world of good.

But the law needs to change so if the immigrants is using the person to get a GC they can deport them no matter what.  Problem solved.    I'm bored to.     By the way called twice to NVC wanted to talk to the supervisor Sylvia but couldn't the last Rep didn't seem to know what she was saying and said she thinks I'll get CC tomorrow, yeah right I'm going to believe her.  I'll call tomorrow morning and God willing I'll have news.     Yeah the guy who interviewed me brought up our short courtship, but not as a question, just making reference to it.  I took it as a question and said that when it's love it's right and you can't put a timestamp on that.  He jokingly jumped back and put his hands in the air and "There's no one judging you here" and let out a laugh, I laughed too then he moved on.  Does it really matter how long people court?  He didn't seem to think so.     Good luck on getting your CC!!!! Fingers crossed for you Soloenta, it's been far too long.       Congratulations I'm so very happy for you.           Congrats!     So happy for you two!     I hope you have a smooth POE experience!   Fingers crossed!          Congraulations on your approval!  I hope my husband will have his interview scheduled at the London Embassy ASAP   Thanks everyone.  And good luck for your impending interviews too!!!

Why haven't you been to the states since then? Why hasn't your spouse been to the UK since then?   APPROVED!  Woop woop   PS will add a full embassy review soon Edited by ColGil, 29 September 2014 - 05:03 PM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	October 2014 Interviews	Hi everyone,    Just to let you know my docs were shipped to London today (confirmed by the awesome Agent Gus).  Got the tracking info.  My CEAC hasn't changed yet though, and I received my interview email/letter on Monday 8th, and my interview was actually scheduled on September 2nd, so it seems there is a week or so delay between scheduling and sending!?
