NVC CEAC UPLOAD FILERS - May 2017

[NilsaAnil21 77]

Hello everyone my case will be a pivot case as well. I'm still waiting on CN. 

My case was sent to NVC on Jan. 12. Received on Jan 18. Sent to supervisor on Feb 9...I'm still waiting

 

I hope that with this new system it will speed up the process.

We’re an LND case number (London) and we’re being directed to file online with CEAC. Is this unusual? We knew everything we needed to know to file by mail and we’re a bit unsure about all this!

I also just realised that I didn't have to submit a DS-261 choice of agent form. It seems I've skipped straight to paying both fees.

Hello, 

 

I got into this same situation. I got my "welcome letter" via email from "National_Visa_Center@state.gov". AT first, it was skeptical to me because NVC usually just use "NVC@state.gov" but surprisingly I was able to login to CEAC and pay my fees. Did you also got your "welcome letter" from email with no attachments included too?

Hello, How is filing using CEAC treating you? We are also gonna be using CEAC for everything.

Seems pretty simple and straightforward, a little bit worryingly so if I’m honest. Fingers crossed for no checklist!

I know, I'm with you on this. 

We already paid both fees, but now I am confused if we should submit both AOS and IV Application + civil documents both at the same time.

I also knew about attaching a document cover page, but since it's online I am not sure if this is still required.

How to know if you're case is pivot and not pivot?

@Wynona make sure all your documents read horizontally, no vertically oriented scans. We got a checklist for those, but otherwise what CEAC asks for is seemingly exactly what it wants. No cover sheet, no petitioner's civil documents, it seems we can throw away a lot of the old information about paper filing. Very quick too, about three working days!

Just a quick cautionary note, the documents required may be different for different forms/number of applicants etc. I'm a single spouse applicant and we used EZ.

Wow you got a reply after 3 working days? That was fast. 

I am also planning to submit the EZ, I am the petitioner. Did your wife include her transcripts from the past 2 tax years after 2017?

She did, three years of tax returns and three years of W-2s.

 

We're having a bit of an issue now where the W-2 they asked us to reorient and replace appears as 'Accepted' so we can't replace it. She's calling NVC again!

Thank you for the swift response!!! I hope everything will be done and case completed soon.

Hi!

I just have a question on DS-260. Where did you find your beneficiary ID? is that Invoice ID?

The same things happens for the civil documents, mine changed from "submitted" to "accepted"

But it seems it isn't the case for the "IV Application" (Form DS-260), it stays as "Completed"

We received an email from the CANVCEDP@state.gov address saying that they have approved our DS-260 and that we can contact them if we have any questions about the process.

 

Just need to finalise a few things with out AOS, hopefully it gets approved pretty quickly after that.

what this mean ?

Quick question please. How do you know if you are CEAC ahead of getting a case number. We are not at the nvc stage yet but I want to be prepared. Beneficiary if from Algeria. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to first thread dedicated to NVC filers using "Method 1: Upload documents online using CEAC" 

 

!!!!!Only applies to newly assigned cases!!!!! (Assuming from MAY 1??)

 

If your NVC case number begins with one of the following prefixes:
 

BNS        FRN        HNK       MTL       RDJ         SYD
 

And your visa category is:
 

IR1          IR2          IR5          CR1        CR2        F1           F2A        F2B         F3           F4          

Scan and save your financial forms and evidence, civil documents, and translations. Then upload them to your CEAC account online. (CEAC is the Consular Electronic Application Center where you also pay your fees and complete your Form DS-260 visa application.) Instructions and more information are on our Managing Your IV Case Onlinepage.
