DS-260 Checklist

[heroicmove 0]

Dear All,

VJ has always been a great resource for my journey. I am currently stuck and I need your help on this. So thanks in advance.

I am currently applying for CR1 visa. I sent my supporting documents (Financial and Civil Documents) to NVC approximately one month ago. At that time I did not filled the DS-260 because of the technical issue that was causing users to not access DS-260.

I filled the DS-260 on 7 July 2015 and today I received following email(checklist) from NVC:

If you submitted the DS-260 on the 7th and you received that email on the 8th, it sounds like it's just a time glitch. It's probably nothing to worry about but I would call NVC to double check, just to be on the safe side because I submitted my DS-260 end of April and after they had reviewed our documents at end of June, so two months later, we got a checklist saying I hadn't submitted my DS-260 yet. I guess in our case, they just "forgot" to review our DS-260. So just call them and make sure that your DS-260 have been submitted correctly.

Thank you very much for the reply. What do you recommend, should I send the hard copy of documents as mentioned in my query? i.e. 1. National Visa Center Case Number Barcode Cover Sheet (Page2)

2. The Letter (page 1)

3. Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application Confirmation

4. Printed copy of the whole ds-260 application

Or just rely on the phone call to NVC?

Thank you once again.

[mallafri76 1,012]

I just called them and the lady on the phone could see it had been more than 60 days since I had submitted my DS-260, so she put it for supervisor review. She said I didn't need to send anything in.

Im in the same situation look at my timeline , NVC could have reviewed your docs before you submitted your ds-260 , its a normal email you get when the computer finds a missing item , so i recommend you to call the NVC and verified thats the only checklist you have , regarding the ds-260 it till take 30 days to be reviewed or less , by the way i tried to waive the 30 days as i claimed that chkl was a false one since i was not able to do it but the sup did not approve my request

good luck

1. I filled out DS260 last week, and it shows " completed " on CEAC.

2. I received exact the same email checklist for DS260 2 days ago and i called NVC rightafter to confirm if any missing documents. The rep told me that the only missing document is DS260 and i should ignore the checklist since i filled out already.

3. Today i decided to call NVC again since i really dont trust the NVC reps. And I was told differently that everything completed EXCEPT the passport biographic data page for supporting document and DS 260.

I told the reps that how possibly that we can miss that most important support document and I am sure 100% I included that in the IV Package. So I request to speak to the supervisor. And the rep jus said that what he saw on his end and freaking hung up on me. I am now still pissed off.

I guess I have to resend the Passport again since i dont want to take any chances.

I suggest you guys should call NVC to find out if there are really any missing documents.

The checklist would specifically ask for any missing docs.

I have read this in numerous posts at VJ that the reps do not give you accurate information. But still you are doing a good thing that you are sending the pp copy. I suggest that you call nvc again and ask for the status.
