No!  I still haven’t been able to register, and I don’t know what to do!

Mine is also June 21st!  I had trouble at first registering mine, it kept saying that I didn't have an interview date yet (even though I received the email) but after a few days it allowed me to. Did you try to contact the number/email on the error page?

Yes, I contacted the help desk and they gave me a “non” answer, answer!  What does the registering actually do?

Ugh that's super frustrating - so do you get the error page when you enter your #? 

 

When you register you get to choose where you want your visa sent via mail (standard or courier)  - I think it also allows them to confirm your appointment.

It lets me sign in, and I fill in all the details like date of birth, passport number etc, then I click submit on the end, and error message.  

 

Thanks for for the explanation!

I tagged you here so they can answer you. 😊

Okay so I wasn't able to even sign in for mine. I'm not sure why yours is doing that. Sorry I can't be anymore help! 

 

No problem anytime!

Wait, I never submitted anything about financial documents on my side (canadiantax return) We also have a lawyer. And it is also them who delayed us like 3 times now.

Interesting! Everyone is complaining about their lawyer delaying their case! We are in the same boat! We've been delayed at least 1 month and a half for the information that our lawyer should have provided us but did not until I read the instructions myself!

More than 2 months now for us. The problem is i cant go back to fix it to make it faster now. Rfes because of her. And 2 months at NVC. Before we submitted, she had 1.5 months to check/review all AOS, financial and every document while I was waiting for my HK police clearance to arrive. All the things i uploaded myself and explained/wrote a note myself was accepted by NVC. It is hers that delayed us. Last resubmission May 7 and idk coz now we have no update at all. 😞

I was late to find this website. So many informations and helpful people here. Way more helpful that our fully paid lawyer who did nothing but upload docs and delay us. They dont care now coz they are paid. 🙏🏽

Exactly the same here. Our lawyer only uploaded the documents/information I provided him which was much faster and easier if I did it myself! I have to submit a joint sponsor as we received a note that my income is not enough. I was ready to submit everything last Wednesday but I have to wait for the lawyer's signature till tomorrow. Do you happen to have an issue with the financial requirements for the sponsor? We received a note saying: "the petitioner does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrant for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." 

 

Does this mean our case is waiting for the submission of a joint sponsor?

We had the EXACT same issue with our lawyer. Absolutely disappointed in his "work" , we've done most of it ourselves and have caught so many of his mistakes. I wIsh I found this website sooner as so many people have been so much help! 

 

With the financial requirements we had the exact same note on our case! We filed our taxes jointly, and when my husband (US citizen) added his W-2's, there was missing income from our joint income return. We had to send in my T-4s (Canadian Citizen part time work) The NVC only looked at my T-4's and concluded we didn't meet the income requirement. We had to clarify with the NVC that my husbands W-2's were the forms to be looking at for income requirements.

 

Not sure if you and your spouse filed a joint tax return but this is why we were told we didn't meet the income requirement. We had to make sure the W-2's were uploaded separately to make it clear to the NVC which income was sponsoring.

Thinking of you! I'm so sorry you are going through this - I hope you get some news very soon.

The reason for the insufficiency in my income is that I am a graduate student in Canada and I don't have a real income. Consulting our lawyer, we provided assets for the lack of US-earned income. Even though the assets are 5 times more than the minimum income requirements, we still received the note for my income. Now, I have prepared all the documents for a joint sponsor but I am a bit confused about what I should expect next. Is the NVC waiting for the joint sponsor to have a new update? Am I going to receive an email about any new updates or do I need to follow the message box on the NVC website?
