NVC Filers - January 2019

[OET 17]

We paid our fees Friday 25th, they cleared this morning Wed 30th.  

 

Sadly, an NVC processing error will slow down our case. We nominated Nicosia, Cyprus as our processing Embassy as I currently work abroad for the U.K. Government. However it seems the processing officer assumed I was in the U.K. (even though the I130 clearly nominates Nicosia) and assigned the London Embassy Case Number. We filed a formal request on the Friday 25th  via email for the NVC to amend the error made and provide us with a new case number for Nicosia, Cyprus.

 

I phoned the NVC this morning and the phone handler stated he was unable to provide a timescale to resolve this error. So we’re in limbo as I can’t request certain police certificates without an accurate case number. Does anybody have any other methods/ideas I can use to try and resolve this error? 

 

Its quite frustrating.

Do you know the answer to this? 

Is everyone doing online processing now? I just got an email that I will be doing online processing. I didn’t think my country did online processing. Has things changed?

Ok. Thank you. Seems like the majority of them are doing online processing now. I see some are still mailing in NVC documents.

If I remember correctly, you are not even given the option to fill the DS-260 or upload documents until AFTER you pay the fees AND the status changes to PAID

 

2018-11-26  ●  NVC: AOS and IV Fees SUBMITTED (9:30am PST)
2018-11-27  ●  NVC: AOS and IV Fees RECEIVED (5:00am PST)
2018-11-28  ●  NVC: AOS and IV Fees PAID (1:30pm PST)
2018-11-29  ●  NVC: DS-260 COMPLETED SUBMITTED
2018-11-30  ●  NVC: Affidavit of Support and Civil Documents SUBMITTED

 

 

We submitted W2's and 1040EZ forms for past 3 years, past 6 months pay-stubs, and letter from employer. We did not submit tax transcripts. All of our documents were accepted, and our embassy interview date is scheduled for next Monday Feb 4. 

Thank u!  After u sent all required docs how long wil it take to hear from them?

I suggest you call NVC and ask if you have to scanned the documents or email the package?

It’s a nightmare to call them, but they sent me an email saying that my case is processed as CEAS. I was just shocked. I had my mind set that I had to mail my documents in.

Not sure why you are 'shocked' about electronic processing. You should be happy, as it is easier and takes much less time.

If you received the email about CEAC processing they won't accept mailed document. It's electronic only. There is no point in calling NVC either, but you can call for you peace of mind. You can call them late at night, the wait time is the lowest.

Just make sure they are scanned properly.

Update on my case:

I agree until I start getting all the errors or RFE’s for scanning documents wrong, missing dates on forms and missing documents I see everyone getting....Lol Seems like more of a headache to me.

Yeah those countries usually do. Now I’m seeing people doing online processing from them. NVC takes one week just to answer an email. When I asked if my case was received, that was the response I got.

I’m shocked because I know my Embassy petitioners have been mailing in documents from my knowledge. I have mixed feelings about electronic processing. When the system is constructed properly I’m fine with that, but I see a lot of issues from what others are saying. I am taking note, so I don’t make the same mistakes like scanning documents vertically and getting it rejected. I can’t waste time for simple mistakes.

Hello, 

Im confused as to how NOT to scan the documentsand which is the correct and way they accept it. I tought Vertical scan (up and down)was the correct way instead of upside down.
