@ngm011 I'm so sorry to hear that. When did you request police certificate? It wasn't expired when you sent it, right?

It wasn't expired. They just claim they didn't get it even though we are 100% sure we included it and it was together bar coded with the rest of the documents.

We sent everything in a single package, each document included bar code sheet so that they don't mess it up.

 

I expect they'll just claim they didn't get it and we should resend it. Then back to 11 wks waiting for after reaching 10th week already.

 

This is crazy that they can checklist anyone like this with already so sluggish processing times!

Oh no, am so sorry to know that.. perhaps, you may send another one, and request for senator's help, i heard they do really help

Just talked to NVC, they simply claim they don't have it even though rep on the phone has no documentation in front of her.

 

We all know what sending it over to them means - scan date i reset and waiting time is up to 11 weeks. She said there's no way around it, that's "State Department rules". Whatever that meant.

 

I asked whether we can submit that single page electronically, she said no.

 

I'll call again later to try to get another rep's response on the matter.

I have a question,  what are the 3 n/a that leads up to cc. 

Hi SJ, logon to this website 

https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

 

enter you case number, invoice number, choose if you are the applicant and then captcha

 

You'd see the enclosed screenshot, see the PAID inthe AOS? If that turned to be N/A it means 3 N/A's you'd call them and verify if you got CC 

 

while there are instance (i saw from this thread, that when she called her case is complete, and yet not 3N/A yet) 

 

goodluck

Go to the following website: https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

You will need your case number and invoice number.  The three columns to pay attention to is "Affidavit of Support Fee", "Affidavit of Support Documents & Financial Evidence", and "Civil Documents".  The last two should say "N/A".  Once your case is complete, "Affidavit of Support Fee" will change from "PAID" to "N/A" giving you 3 N/As on the site.

For employment-based cases it will always show 2 N/As and the only way to find out if case is complete is by calling NVC (or waiting for an email from NVC).

God, that sounds horrifying.  I think I'm going to include two sets of all documents just in case so they have a reference.  Out of curiosity, did you put your name and case number on the upper right hand corner of all documents?  Seems like it was suggested in someone's guide so wondering if that would minimize my chances of this happening to me.

 

I hope you have better luck with the second rep, let us know how it goes!

Well I messed UP and my package hasn't even arrived at the NVC. Sweds dont have a "birth certificate" they have a tax document that has all their personal info. There are multiple versions and I thought I had the right one......However..... I found out today I send the wrong one!! 

I called the NVC and they said they did not get my package (of course, i just sent it yesterday). I asked about sending in the correct form and they said to do it asap with a cover sheet. 

 

Have any of you send in a corrected document BEFORE getting a check list? Did it go ok ? I am fearful they will lose a few "loose" papers...

Hi NGM,

I know exactly how you feel, the same thing happened to me in January, I don't even like to think that my husband could be here by now.  The way we dealt with it was I booked a flight to go visit him and that helped make the time go faster.  I know not everyone is in a position to go visit their spouse abroad, but I found it helpful.  I would also contact your Congressman to see if they can assist with the timeline.  You can let them know the timeline you've been provided by NVC and how long it is actually taking.

Andy

Thanks you too  I just talked to a rep and he apologized because our case is way overdue... no kidding... he said his supervisor is in a meeting but will give her our case to complete when she is out and said that she is really fast (we can hope that he actually does this and isn't just giving us an excuse)... going to call back later this afternoon

We did write case number in each page just to be sure

Agree with Andy & Mike.  Also, was it in another language other than English?

I would suggest you send it in now asap...it is better losing a few days now, rather than having to wait 10+ weeks later as a result of a checklist.

No I didn't put name and case number in the upper right hand corner because I didn't want them to consider documentation as "altered" and reject it. I just stapled bar code sheet on every document set.

 

Police certificate is was 2-page document (3-page with bar code sheet), first one is translation and second one is actual local police statement where on both pages my first and last name is loud and clear.

 

I don't know if it's smart to send to sets of everything, they might deem that as invalid, who knows.
