NVC Filers - January 2013

[DeniseFrance 14]

I've never heard that before. And I've never heard of "AAP". Here on VJ, it's just AP: additional/administrative processing. The reasons for being put into AP vary: background checks, red flags, additional documents are needed, etc.

Remember, like with NVC operators, don't just rely on ONE operator's answer. You need to call many times and take the majority answer (and even then, it could be wrong).

It might be worth it if you call up the embassy directly and inquire. Or, just keep waiting.

yes I know, it's a joke. You must be right because I just called the NVC and this operator told me that you are NOT automatically put into AP right after the interview. The DOS is closed right now so back to the old waiting game. The interview went really well: no additional documents where asked for during the interview, not even the new documents of updated information that my spouse had with her. And towards the end of the interview they told my wife she was approved and will have the Visa within 10 days(it's been over 21 days so far). So we will pay the $20 and call the embassy. I was thinking Tuesday next week would be the best day?

Saylin, What questions do I need to ask when I call the US Embassy in Paris? thanks so much.

(and if I call the DOS many times on Monday and they keep saying we are in AP, I wonder if the Embassy can confirm this and maybe tell us why we are in AP?)

By any chance, was your wife born elsewhere (not in France)?

As for what questions to ask, your first should probably be where is the visa Give the date of your interview, tell them you were told you'd get it within 10 days, tell them how many days it's been. You may have to ask if you've been put into AP. If needed, tell them what DOS has told you. If the embassy does say you were put into AP, ask why. And be adamant until you know for certain. Get as much details as possible since it's going to be an expensive phone call.

Yes, she is a Romanian Citizen and has been working in France for the last 2 years.

I guess this might have something to do with the delay because she is not a French Citizen?

I would say that's a really good possibility, especially if she's not a French Citizen. I'm guessing then that they're running some background checks. But I still suggest calling them up to make sure.

Just 10 business days and you will know!

[dwheels76 5,463]

I figure it will take them a good 14 business days I have a little extra. But I am just glad its out the house. Curious to see how they will do the photobooks.

You only need your sponsor's spouse to fill out an I-864a if the spouse's money will be used as well. Sounds like, in your case, it wont be used so only have your sponsor fill out an I-864. I asked this very question to NVC.

As far as forms from the IRS, your best bet is to call the IRS and order your tax transcripts. You can go as far back as 10 years, I believe, and they are free and show up at your mailbox in less than 10 days. These TRANSCRIPTS are all you need. If you don't send in TRANSCRIPTS then you have to send it allllllllllll that other stuff that Saylin posted above.

Alright thanks very much for your reply. We will probably just order the transcripts. Now just to get the damn case number

[indiana_sweetie 120]

You can also order transcripts online

[OriZ 3,157]

yeah I know thanks Now if I understand correctly the income to write on the i-867 is the TOTAL INCOME, right?

Those tax transcripts take longer than I was expecting.

My first set took 5 weeks.

My second order I did not receive in time before I left the states.

Hopefully it shows up soon and my parents can scan it to me (thank god for email filing)
