Am a little lost... Paid the affidavit of support fee, and the IV fee .... how do i file electronically?

[kristen n Ashraf 0]

We paid the Affidavit of support fee and a few days ago paid the IV fee, now i have been waiting for something from them telling me what to do. I havent gotten anything, i went back and looked at the receipt they mailed me and it was saying.

Next steps...

1. when the IV fee payment status is PAID, each applicant must submit an application for immigrant visa and alien registration. If your case was initiated after October 4, 2010 and your case begins with AMM, ATH, BGH, LMA, MEP, OR MTL you MUST submit your visa application form online. Otherwise you will submit the paper version of the form.

now... this is our case number AMM201251****

so i am pretty sure we will file it online.

the link they give me on the pdf is not working, and i dont know where to go.

and i need to know... if i am going to be filing online, will i be sending them also the actual documents, or will they ask my husband to bring them with him to the interview .

he is in Amman , Jordan waiting.

will i need his police report? or he will show them in the interview???

he has it already from jordan.

also he was in the army in egypt when was a young man. he has his army id card they gave him to keep since he served. will that be enough as far as the army records they will ask for about him?? He is not in egypt and we are waiting over 2 months now just for egyptian embassy in jordan to give him his police record from egypt. They told him one month and he has gone a bunch of times and they keep say mail is delayed and keep check back. thank god were doing this before they ask for it or we would be in trouble. lol If we need something else from them i am afraid how long it will take.

will that army card from egypt with his picture be enough?

please any help will be appreciated.

If you join a thread called

NVC Filers March 2012

it may answer alot of your questions about NVC

and Saylin is there to help answer questions throughout the process

There is alot of things you can read in the thread to help with nvc.

I hope you can get it figured out.

Good Luck

the process you will do is exactly the same for Montreal (MTL) and Mexico Electronic Processing (MEP) casefiles.

The caveat?

1. have latest adobe acrobat installed on your computer

2. use Internet Explorer v8 as yer browser.

Otherwise you can't do things consistently.

Find Saylin's wiki page for EP Canada in the wiki section - she's outlined exactly what to do, how to do, when to do.

and - stop freaking out..

some answers to yer questions:

1. nvc does intake on all documents - so that police report? you'll send in a scan to NVC via email along with the rest of his civil documents

2. must to show originals/certified copies of anything submitted to NVC electronically, on interview day back at the IV Unit in Jordan.

For Jordan cases, you're only eligible for online forms, not electronic processing.

The link to fill in the DS-260 (online form) can be found here: https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Default.aspx Log in with your case number and IIN. You'll also need to know your BIN which you should have either gotten from an operator and/or been included in the first email you got from NVC.

Like I said, since you're ineligible for electronic processing, you'll have to MAIL in your packages. I'd suggest sending in your AOS package asap as the bill shows as paid. Join the March thread that togetherforever has suggested and you will find in the second post a FAQ with which you can see what the required documents are for the AOS package.

As for the IV package, you're going to have to wait until the police certificate is obtained from Egypt. All I can tell you is that because you waited so long to get it, you're going to cause delays at NVC. I made sure to get my own police certificate before my husband's I-130 petition was even approved. Obviously, obtaining a police report in Egypt is clearly much harder than in Canada, so your husband should have been trying to get it months ago. But, that's in the past and there's nothing much you can do at this point except to continue contacting them to see where the police report is in the process.

As to your army question, I don't think his army ID will be sufficient. According to NVC's site (http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html#military_records) military records are needed. And if he served in the Egyptian army, then here are the specifics for Egyptian military records: http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=9166#docs (scroll down a bit to 'military records').

If you have any questions, either post here or in the March NVC thread. Good luck.

Hey Darnell, according to this page: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_5165.html Jordan applicants are only eligible to do online forms, not electronic processing as well.
