MISSING DOCUMENTS?!

[JessandKoen 0]

Hi everyone! PLEASE HELP!

Today I received an email from the NVC with a "missing document checklist". So far, we have payed all fees and submitted BOTH the Affidavit of Support and Immigrant Visa Application (DS-230) with all civil documents. We submitted the DS-230 package one week later than the AOS.

It says in the email that we are missing the Immigrant Visa Application, even though we mailed it (with a delivery confirmation that it was received). We are panicking, because it took a very long time to obtain the civil documents!

Could it be that the AOS was just processed (it's been about 20 business days) and they automatically send this email to request the next set of documents? We know for a fact that the NVC has our Immigrant Visa Application (because of the delivery confirmation), so why are they saying that it is missing?

PLEASE HELP!

-Jess

If they say you're missing the whole package then it is likely a false checklist meaning they have reviewed your AOS package!

What else does it says exactly.

If they say you're missing the whole package then it is likely a false checklist meaning they have reviewed your AOS package!

Just to be sure, the letter looks like this:

Are you sure this isn't anything to be concerned about? Should I call the NVC to make sure they have the package?

Looks like a false checklist to me! Nothing to worry about!

Awesome, thanks so much for the fast reply, I appreciate it

Yes if they didn't ask for any specific thing then its ok. I got a checklist like that too but they put what they wanted from me. So to ease your mind call them on Monday to double check.

It's covered in post #2, in the FAQ section, on any NVC Monthly thread..
