CSC to TSC to NVC: the Saga continues

SIF :dance:

Hope its not some technical mistake at NVC

I believe it's not a technical error in your case. Have you called an operator up yet to inquire if your case is complete?

OK IV payment shows PAID and I started filling out DS-260 for Electronic Processing

The education section is COMPLETELY gone. U.S. last visits are there with exact days of entry and how long of a stay but they only want last 5 visits. Previous address section of addresses lived since the age of 16 only asks for month and year and I believe that hasn't changed. The rest I beleive is the same as the paper version.

You're now the third person I know to mention that information requested is changed or all together gone. So, sometime between February 8th to March, NVC must have changed the DS-260, probably to make it easier for people to fill out. Lucky you I spent a few hours one day trying to get exact dates, and education info, and supervisor names and such. I'm glad NVC made the change though.

Also, the bit about them requesting only the last 5 US visits, that was the same for me too when I filled out the DS-260, even though I had collected months ago a lot more than just 5 since the DS-230 wants all trips.

Yaap just called and operator told me that DS-230 is in the system and they have all the documents they need and it is now going through the final review. She told me to call back during the week to see if the case is complete or left NVC.

Oh and wanted to add that i never had to wait even 30 sec for the operator, sometimes i just get them without even a ring after pressing 5 It is so not like USCIS

nice larar! My poor wife went to her physical/med exam today and had to get 4 shots: MMR (she only got Measles when she was about 3), Varicella, Tdap, and Influenza...all in one day. That is just insane. TB results came back negative and everything looks good, but I doubt she will be feeling great for her interview with all this ####### in her system.

Tell your wife to take it easy! So many shots I'm glad I have all my shots needed for the medical. I'd pass out if I had to get 4 vaccines and then a blood test. Too many needles for me.

definitely Saylin...I will be taking care of her for sure. I can only imagine how she must feel with all of that in her system

I have been getting replies of my e-mails to TSC which i sent them on Feb 2nd 2 days ago i got e-mail from TSC (Officer Vara) informing me that they already transferred the case to California and can not do anything but forwarded my e-mail to CSC. Now CSC replied and say "Both cases were returned unprocessed by TSC; however, cases were approved on February 15, 2011."

I guess we sent them so many mails when we were all in blackhole, that they are taking 50+ days just to reply to e-mail forget about processing anything on time

I called first NVC AVR and I heard RFE. When I talked with an operator, she told me NVC is waiting for my DS230. Thanks god, my AOS is accepted. Now I am waiting for NVC to review my DS230.

Congrats everyone who has received interview dates and who has their case completed.

Yeah same here (RFE) but... an NVC operator said to ignore it and DO NOT send them anything... the shipped our petition to the Consulate today!!! Now getting SIF

Saylin, I see you got your interview date. Congratulations to you and all others got interview dates. Almost end of the tunnel.

I almost finished the DS-260 and all support documents except two issues:

1. My wife's old apartment lease terminated on July 31, 2010, her new apartment lease started on August 3, 2010. She had to stay in friend's place for a few days till the apartment was ready. So, at the DS-260 page of "present and previous address information", I filled in like:

Address 1, Aug, 2010 ~ present

Address 2, Jun, 2009 ~ Jul, 2010

Then there is a message shown "There is a gap in the dates you have provided. Please include ALL addresses where you have lived since the age of sixteen. The national Visa Center may ask you to confirm unexplained gaps in residency."

I am afraid this might trigger an RFE. But I have no idea how to deal with it. Any one has experience or work around?

2. My wife has an expired passport and replaced by the present valid passport. Should we send biographic data pages for both passports, or just the present valid passport?

Thanks alot.

just put June-Aug 2010, then Aug 2010- present...problem solved!
