I just wanted to point out that unfortunately Saylin's excel document that documents your visa progress has a huge gap between the end of September and then the end of October. No one with scan dates

Hi all, I just made the following list with all the users and their latest scan date I found on this thread so we can get an idea. Feel free to update it or add yourself! 10/01 - Antre 10/08 - laje

My thoughts in regards to scan dates and such: NVC isn't ever on just one specific date. It'll always be a range of dates, because there's more than just one person reviewing files. And although NVC

First of all, Let's assume , you are a USA CITIZEN,then you don't need to change any thing,regardless how long you are living abroad, you know that you are US CITIZEN, and the baby is the child of a US citizen, as soon as the baby entered USA, at the air port of Entry ,papers will be singed for the certificate of USAcitizen and it will be mailed to your given address when ready. For confirmation you can check from the local US Consulate . Take care.

Hi, sorry my mistake to say " let's assume ". I checked back your previous note which says that you r a US CITIZEN. so you r fine, but may want to call your local US Consulate to confirm this piece of information which i shared with you actually thi knowledge is 2 years old when same problem was faced by one of our family member. So you

Got an email from NVC stating that all documentation has been received to process the visa and they will notify when interview has been scheduled. Scan date IV Oct 6th, AOS checklist Oct 9th.

Now I am trying to get them to review an email sent on Nov 4th to change consulate from Paris to Beijing.... :sleepy:

Or I guess my wife has to go to Paris to take her interview...

BTW, the AOS still says PAID at the ceac website and has not changed to N/A.

Just got off the phone with NVC. Case was already completed on Nov 21st with scan date of Oct 6th for IV and AOS checklist Oct 9th.

AOS is $120 per case.

IV is $325 per immigrant.

(i.e. if you have children that are also immigrating as part of your case then it's an additional $325 per person.)

Maybe. I'll wait to see what the checklist email says. I wish I could just take the police check to the interview :( Even the thought of waiting an extra two weeks while the AFP sends me my certificate is painful.

You could try requesting that NVC closes your case and you'll bring in the police certificate to the interview, but by the time they get to your other checklist response, and if they don't accept your request, it might just be faster to send in the certificate.

Received our case complete via email today. I checked CEAC and the trick about watching it change from Paid to N/A never worked for us. We received our NOA2 in May. So we spent less than 7 months at NVC. Just wanted to give an update. I'll see y'all on Dwheels case complete thread
