NVC Filers - September 2016

[Jeniafrench 8]

Hi guys!

Just got a confirmation from NVC (over the phone) that they recieved our case from USCIS. Woo-hoo!!

How long does is usually take for them to issue case number? How soon should I start calling? They said it takes 2-3 weeks, but I want to expedite it as much as possible

Just took the police report and court record to translator service to get them ready for NVC package, the guy told me I shouldn't translate them and i should send only original because of NVC had trouble with poeple falsifying those report especialy arabic countries Wich is my case too(morocco)..so i decided to send oroginal with English translation to avoid any problem..am i doing the right thing ? Any help guys ?im confused what to send and what's not to send ?

I was in same situation and will tell you my advice to avoid any delays, first you must get a police record then you should search for a certified translator not just anyone I am sure that US Embassy in Marocco deal with some certfied translators, after you get a translation for your document from a certified translator you should send a copy of it along a copy with the original police certicate. You should only send a copy but in the interview you must bring all originals.

those were my thoughts exactly. I'm trying so hard to stay hopeful and positive, but it gets hard and as the days go by i start losing a bit of hope because everyday seems like forever!!!

but all i know is that after this process is done, I'm going to despise the words "6 weeks"

Hi everybody

I'm new here I was hoping to find out more about the NVC process and share my VJ with you guys. So I'm try to make it as simple as possible.

I130 sent on November 13

1st Noa: on November 16/2015 thy received my i130

2nd NOA: on May 26/2016 that my case was transferred to a 26feadrl plaza N.Y and I have to show up for the uscis interview was for me the petitioner witch I head to go back to the US for.

3rd Noa: July 5/2016 case was approved

July 24/2016 I requested for Expedite

July 27/ 16 I received notification that the us embassy or consulate are willing to expedite my case once the NVC has received all required documents and fees

July 29 I received my welcome letter

August 1 I paid AOS fee and completed ds261choice of agent and address

August 10/2016 I called NVC and I got ds261 reviewed on the phone I was told to wait 3-7 days for IV fee to show up but nothing happened so after the 7days pass I started calling avery other day sense .

I sent AOS package and iv package together August 18 bye ups it was received on 19th I received notification from NVC that thy received on 23 and the my scan dat is the 19 of August

On September 2nd I was put under supervisor review I was told to what 60 day but I didn't I kept on calling daily

On the September 19th I received a checklist for the DS260 and that the NVC will not review my documents till its submitted September 21 I was able to pay iv fee 23 I submitted my ds260.

That's my story till this point I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how much can this tack and how does this willing to expedite means or its just BS thy tell you ween they really just want to get read of me ....

You can make a copy of the original docs, that is what nvc asks now. Keep the original ones for the interview. But yes you must send the translated copy and the original language copy.

I did for my Nikka Nama, I sent the urdu version along with English and of course our marriage certificate. All were copies. My husband has the originals for his interview. Along with his birth certificate.

But i called NVC today they told i need to send translation and original so im confused..

I didnt do translation in morocco,,after my wife mailed me her document i translated them here with certified translator..but after i called NVC today i was told to send oroginal with translation ..

So im kind of confused now ..is it original or just copies ?

They mean the translation (a copy of it) and a copy of the original-language document, not the original piece of paper itself.

I don't understand what the USCIS interview was for.

Have you read the NVC process guide? It should have helped you avoid the mistakes you made here--not filling out the DS260 promptly and not paying the IV fee before. I'm not sure why your IV fee wasn't unlocked but that's what you should have been focusing on; unfortunately you weren't here then or we would have told you nothing would happen until you paid the fee and did the DS260; that's more than a month wasted. Except for the original NOA dates your case is moving fairly quickly, though.

Yes, the expedite is real. Your documents may have already been sent to the embassy.
