I am sure you are waiting to call the NVC first thing tomorrow morning. Also, I saw somebody post that CAEC was on maintenance, hopefully this is only a glitch!

Yeah i have to call them anways to link both cases together..Seems like the new system is not working well yet. I hope it won't take them weeks to change it.

I didn't add an area code to my husband's phone number because it didn't fit when I typed it.  I just sent in all my docs... Do you all think I might get docked for that and get a checklist?

An incomplete phone number is problematic but you cannot expect NVC to even know it's incomplete.  The Consulate will though, so call NVC and ask them to do whatever they need to do to correct it.  They will.

 

For others reading this question and answer, it is always allowed to hand write information that cannot be typed in any form.

You should definitely try an expedite and my best guess is you would be approved. But you should make sure, you should include medical records of your dad while seeking an expedite.

THANKS!

I've tried looking this up, but seeing conflicting info/old threads.

 

I'm under the impression that the petitioner doesn't need to send the divorce decree with the IV packet, as it was already sent to USCIS, is that correct?

Documents that need to be sent pertain just to the applicant/beneficiary... right?

 

Thanks in advance....

Did you find out if that is the case? @JBMG May have knowledge of this. I myself would like to know in case I need to bring a copy and/or the original with me to my Husband's interview.

 

It's my understanding that yes, any divorce evidence should be included.  @missileman and @krysten.danis can you please share your input? Thank you, JBMG

I am so worried when I reviewed my submitted DS 260, how to I correct this error. 

 

I answered no to the question have you ever been refused a visa... etc... the question was confusing for me. How do I change my answer from no to Yes because I was denied a visitor's visa last year. 

 

I honestly have no intention to lie or anything. It was an honest mistake. I am soo worried, how do I correct this error. Someone pls help! 

 

Hi @AnnaBrodbeck, Call the NVC and have them update it for you.

It most likely will not update until you have a CC. That's one way to tell when you have a CC if you are CR1/ir1
