Hi, what were your checklists for?

I'm self-employed, so my taxes are a bit complicated. I'd written down the wrong number in the income box, then did it AGAIN (even writing a different number from a different line on my taxes). Called NVC, thankfully got a nice person on the line, explained that I was having trouble filling out the form and why, and he helped me find the right number to enter.

I had submitted a combination of copies of 2013 taxes and transcripts for earlier years, and my accountant even told me the WRONG number to enter, saying she'd read the instructions multiple times and "You should use this number." Grrrrr.....

Your DS-261 scan date has changed from July 13th to Aug 27th!!?? :wow: Sorry to hear that. :cry:

I suggest that you stay away from the CEAC site. You'll receive an IV fee invoice email when it's ready for you to pay the IV fee. :idea:

There is no need to check the CEAC site unless you're waiting for a CC and checking the site to see if the AOS fee "PAID" has changed to "N/A". :star:

I know! It totally sucks and I feel like an idiot for doing it. I should've creeped this forum a lot more carefully once my case got to NVC! Lesson learned. I wonder if I should request a supervisor review the next time I call?

Congratulations on your CC and I am happy you found someone willing to help and they succeeded too.

Let me say I am so blessed. I received a checklist. On the same day NVC received my correct translation I got a cc. So many people still have to wait after NVC receives their checklisted items. Thank you.

hy guys....i havent posted much but i am just so frustrated i needed to vent....called NVC today waited on hold for 50mins and got disconnected.... i dexided to call again and waited another 50mins to hear the 60day story :'( this is redicious..... they just have to look at one piece of paper!!! i got a checklist for my marriage certificate :-((((

hope NVC picks up the pace! cant take this anymore!!! i was hoping for an OCTOBER interview but looks like that is not happening....i wish there was something that could b done for future applicants that are trying to bring their spouse legally and pay their share of tax and not to mention these NVC fees!

can you elaborate little more about the checklist(marriage certificate?) I'm asking this because I'm nervous about mine. I have a little mistake in it and I'm afraid it may come back I haunt me.

Good morning Saylin,

I have a couple of questions, maybe you have heard something similar in the past. I am the petitioner for 3 applicants my spouse and my 2 stepchildren. I submitted my wife AOS before my children and I just got a checklist and I corrected it already, my question is can I submit my children with the corrections since I know what was wrong with it? or do I have to wait for them to review it get the checklist and then submit it?

I am trying( like everyone here) to save time.

NOTE: the letter i recieved with the checklist clearly says 30 business days NOT 60 days why are they telling us 60 smh...

Sorry about the checklist but glad that you corrected it now. As always I'm sure Saylin will answer your question....

Could you please let us know your AOS scan date for your wife? I wish NVC reviews your checklist at the earliest!!!

It's the norm.

If you call early just as they open at 7AM, it's usually easier. You need to keep redialing over and over again. Once you get a line, you will typically be on hold another 20-40 minutes before you get to speak to a human.

I'm the USC petitioner. My wife is British (now a USC!!!), generally awesome, and amazingly patient.

We got check listed on our AOS in early August - resubmitted a week later. My part IV is due to be looked at (given the 60 day email) around about the 20th of this month - expecting a checklist, seeing I didn't have Willard Scott witness it.

Given all these delays, I reckon we will get our CC at best in late November.

Thank you for letting us know... This proves NVC is still stuck up with July 10 - 11 scan dates...

Wonder when they would reach my scan date of July 30..... And then there is that nightmare of getting a dreaded checklist...

This wait is just killing.. God please help us!!!
