NVC Filers - May 2015

[bk2014 34]

can someone explain to me step by step what I need to do about sponsorship?

I live out of the country with my spouse(also no able to work here), One of my parents will be the sponsor. What do I need to do and what does My parent need to do?

Please read Saylin's Wiki on NVC process http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Thanks! Updated the link on the first post

You still need to fill out an I-864 and include tax information (if you don't have any because you didn't file, you'll need to include a letter stating this). Your parent then needs to fill out their own I-864 and include their tax information, proof of employment, as well as a copy of proof of citizenship, If you read the wiki I wrote, linked in the first post as well as my signature, you can find all you need there.

ty Im going to hold onto this.

I have a CC this afternoon. I called them earlier this afternoon to do my normal "Checking In" and bugging them on a routine basis. LoL

I make an excuse for always calling before my timeframe. Today I said when asked how can they help me that I was just nearing my date for case complete and was looking for an update and to make sure all my documents were in order, etc. The rep said "Well, lets have a look here." He was making stalling noises with ums and hmms and then said everything looked fine and they will contact me within 30 days but it could be very soon. I laughed and thanked him. Took a little nap. Woke up to find 3 N/A's!

So I encourage you all to call them like crazy if it isn't costing you an arm and leg in long distance. Lucky for me my cell plan is unlimited calls. I have bugged them non stop since my case arrived and I truly believe the people that call get their cases moved through faster. So call, call, call and if you need to call some more. Best advice I can give.

Good luck to the rest of you waiting. Thank you to all the people who help us with advice and tireless work on the spreadsheets!

Call for a Case number next. I'd wait till Monday because that is a least a week. I would recommend you read up on the NVC process link that Saylin has written for us all. It's very good and helped us get through the NVC quickly. You can find the link in her signature at the top of this thread. Good luck to you

Talked to NVC rep, my case is considered complete and they will be sending my documents to SG embassy next week.

But CEAC site still says that AOS is PAID. And I have not received any confirmation email. Will the interview appointment letter comes via Email or snail mail?

That is the standard answer they give. Look at my signature... I called them nightly and heard the same thing for 7 days. Just be NICE and persistent. Thank them for the info and call again the next day/night. Monday will be 7 days for you. So call again then and everyday after till you get one assigned. Calling works, I guarantee it!

You have until 9pm pst to call them. The recording you hear is what everyone hears. Hang up and redial. Sometimes I had to redial 50-60 times to get through then you get put on hold. I've waited as long as two hours till someone answered. It's too late to call tonight you will have to call Monday. So for your time zone you can call from 4am-9pm.

** actually let me change my answer to you. Because you are calling for a case # you will be calling for an operator. The hold for the operator was usually less than 30 minutes. Listen to the prompts. It will ask you, and just follow the instructions for the correct prompt. Good luck. The good news is the NVC is processing much faster then in the past. Good luck to you

thank you so much , Your nvc process was so fast I heard it takes at least 4 months can I ask you 2 questions . Since I am going to be out of country for at least 1 month , I was wondering how many days does it usually takes after you get your case number to send the documents to them ?! And my another question is do they email us the case number and other process ?! Then I can do the rest of process while I am in my country , thanks , best regards

Once you get the number you will get an email shortly after which is a "Welcome Letter". Shortly after that the DS-261 form will become available and the AOS fee will also be available to pay. My AOS fee took a day after the DS-261 before I could pay online.

We were all ready with our supporting documents. So once you have your invoice paid bar code send of the AOS & the IV package. Please read Saylin's guide. It will give you detailed step by step instructions as to how to put these together. Very important to follow the directions given so you can avoid a checklist. We can now send in both packages together and not at different times like in the past. Send this package by a trackable means (UPS, FED Ex etc) once the NVC receives it they will send you an email stating they got the documents. This is your SCAN Date. The process is taking around 30 days to review and case complete provided you don't have a checklist request. So you must stay on top of this or you could end up with a checklist because they reviewed your documents quickly. Mine was only 22 days from my scan date. So be prepared. Read Saylin's guide. Check and double check your supporting documents.

Hope this helps.
