Hi All,

I am filling out my DS=260 Yeh! and have a question about dates.

For addresses they are asking for Month and year. So do I say for example: May 2000 to JUNE 2005 and then JUNE 2005 to July 2007 or do I say May 2000 to MAY 2005 and June 2005 to July 2007. If I moved out the end of the month do I "overlap" the months or not?

So I have submit my ds261 today and that is what I can read on the ceac page


"To process your case, you must first pay any required fees. Then, each applicant accompanying the principal applicant to the United States will need to complete the online IV Application (form DS-260). The IV Application may be partially completed and finished later, or may be completed at one time. However, once submitted, please contact the NVC if you need to update the form.


After submitting the DS-260, mail all supporting documentation (as listed on the Documents The Applicant Must Submitweb page) for each applicant to the NVC.


Once received, it will take the NVC 2 to 4 weeks to review your case. If any additional information is required after the review, the NVC will notify the applicant (or the applicant’s agent). "


I am especially happy about the 2 to 4 weeks part or was like that before and I still need to look for 60 days ? :)

Good afternoon to all VJ Community, question I received a checklist which I had mentioned on Sept 5 and was verbally informed by 5 reps what I needed to send. I send in new paperwork. On Sept 9 I received the email for that checklist. It indicated all the issues the agents had mentioned except it had on top of each page one sponsors name and not the other one. However I asked NVC and they said sometimes it goes out printed wrong but keep reading it will tell you what to change and do it for all sponsors the agents said.

Today I received another checklist email exactly the same requesting same docs.

Has anyone had that happen and if so should I disregard and pretend they duplicated. I am calling them now.

In your checklist, does it say "we are still waiting for your response to the checklist attached", or- "We have reviewed your DS260 and waiting for your response to the checklist.."

If you can copy what the check list says, but without posting personal info, might make it easier to be more helpful :)

I'm surprised that is actually still on the website. Possibly, but if the reps are saying 60 days on the phone.. It's 60 days.. Knowing NVC, they probably haven't updated what is on their website :/.

Hi jsumner86 here is what is says:

We have reviewed the documents you submitted to us. This letter has a list of documents that are missing or that need additional information. Please review the instructions and then submit the required information. If you do not provide this information, it will delay your immigrant visa interview.

Yes it is exact word for word. So i just called and she said that she does see to exact ones and that she does not know why that happened. That they have not seen the email I sent Sept 8 because it is not in their system scanned. To give it until next week so it can be scanned in system. I also asked when would they be looking at the checklist and she said 30 days.

As long as you sent them and it's not a different checklist- you should be fine. Be prepared for the wait though.
