NVC Filers - August 2014

Yes! Sadly

I asked the rep how this was fair, because people send in packages in advance so they can eliminate getting the checklist. She was like we aren't sure yet, but for now we're hoping to clear out the false checklist generation and also have less confusion amongst people. I was like yea, you will eliminate the false checklists but what about the real ones that get generated afterwards...and how people will have more delay to their case. She was like well, yea maybe that might be a downfall to it but we haven't really figured that part out yet.

The poor girl was so nice and calmly answering my questions, so I left it to that and I'm praying my package does gets reviewed timely and I can prevent a checklist delay inshAllah.

They don't have a brain cell in their head now do they. I'll be praying this wont affect you God willing. I really think they will quickly revert back to the false check lists, they can't work with that unless they fix it for very long.

Hmm...we haven't sent in our AOS package yet, and are still waiting for the IV fee to open up...probably in October at this rate. I guess we don't need to rush on the AOS stuff with the new policy.

Does anyone know why they split up the fees like that? It makes no sense to me why we can't just pay and submit once we have our case numbers. It seems so weird to space the fees and paperwork out by 60 days, especially if they're going to review everything together.

And I was really hoping to avoid another Canadian winter

Your first mistake is using your brain. they don't why should you and if you do it wont make any sense.

This actually makes sense but instead of 60 days it should be like 2-3 weeks.

By reviewing everything at once they are cutting down on how many reviews they need to do so they should also decrease the wait time for review.

Imagine getting a checklist for AOS or IV which puts you another 60 days behind :|

It would make sense if they let you pay the AOS and IV fees together but they don't and it takes forever to pay them.

I'm so happy today. I got cc today. Last scan in date was June 10th.

Congratulations, are you sure it's June 10 and not July 10?

Congratulations. Do you mean July 10th for last scan date?

Actually I agree too. They have to make some Positive changes because the process right now is pretty stupid.

CC email touched to my inbox after completion of 7 days. Waiting for interview date

[Bharucfd 3]

That's freaky! Do you have a lawyer? If so, did your lawyer fill out the DS-260?

I was wondering if your lawyer really submitted the DS-260 about 80 days ago (if your lawyer was the one who filled it out).

If you filled out the DS-260 by yourself and you have a confirmation page (and your http://ceac.state.gov/ shows "COMPLETED"), you'll probably have to wait a little bit.

I believe it's taking about 3-5 calender weeks for NVC to review the DS-260 form now.

It is freaky.. but more annoying!

My lawyer did fill it out and it has shown as complete on the website since beginning of June...

i guess there isn't much i can do except wait...

Hey VJ Friends,

I sent an email to the US Embassy in Egypt about police certificates & asked how long its taking them to schedule interview appointments and this is what they replied:

"as for the police certificate it is valid for one year, even if it says it is only for 3 months. As for the interview, the NVC determines that not the American Embassy.

Regards,

Consular Staff "

I thought the US Embassy in Egypt was the one that scheduled the interview dates not NVC?? Any thoughts? Does this mean that maybe Cairo is caught up and they're back to normal interview scheduling?

Confirms what Soloenta said earlier. As for the interview scheduling. For most Consulates, they specify the vacant slots for NVC, and NVC in turn does the case matching, randomly at times. Same difference really.

I just realized something and made me panic..

On my I-864 form, for the income I wrote the numbers without decimal points (i.e. 55,000 instead of 55,000.00) I did not put .00 anywhere.

Is this going to be a problem. Am I getting a checklist because of this?

I did same thing you did... But i don't get checklist..
