Happy March everyone.

First I'd like to say we're (wife and I) very frustrated just like all of y'all. Our 3rd anniversary was last week and we spent it 9,000 miles apart...our first anniversary separate. 

Heres my game plan, let me know what y'all think.

My resubmission was Feb 15 (almost there according to the website). If and when we go to the interview I plan to present a letter from my HR manager stating I'll have insurance starting in September and my wife can be added once enrollment opens. My job offers 100% coverage free insurance for me and my family. I know its not 30 days after she'll enter but I'll have it available in Sept.

Do y'all think I should get insurance within the 30days they're asking for, or should me jobs insurance plan in September be good enough? 😔

I think by the time you get DQ and interview, you'll be pretty close to September, unfortunately. I resubmitted end of January and am hoping for DQ this month with interview in June or July (which might be optimistic). I guess it depends on your consulate though (forgot to check where your wife is at). Good luck!

They say misery loves company, so if it makes you feel better, my wife and I will be spending our first anniversary apart at the end of this month. All cause our reviewer decided everything was in order, but we submitted joint sponsors under that heading instead of as household members...

Morning from London!

 

I'm gathering copies of my husband's docs and I noticed that part of his y/e 2019 W-2, and y/e 2018 transcript are cut off at the top (like 0.5cm).

I thought it was a bad scan job at first but my husband said that's what his originals look like. All the important figures they require are fully visible but one of the random figures is half cropped away and illegible on the transcript. The W-2 is cut off where you can still make out his SSN in the top left but the OMB number from the top right is cropped off.

 

I think there's a high chance NVC will reject these even if we draft a document saying "this is what his originals look like". What do you guys think? Is it worth risking it or shall I get him to request new ones? This whole process is such a pain in the a**e 😩

I’d get your husband to download them direct from the IRS site.. they’re available immediately so no need to wait or risk poor quality ones being forwarded from whoever it is you’re requesting them from

He requested the transcripts from the IRS website for the last 3 years. I'm not sure why this one came out the way it did.

I might have to get the login details from him and have a look for myself. Do you know if the access to view and download them expires after a certain amount of time or are they always available once you request them?

Another rfe for us because they're re-requesting for i864a for my dad. My 1st submission, I uploaded i864a for him while me and my mom did I864 form. We got a message from ceac on december 17, 2019 that he wasn't qualified for i964a form and he needed to do I864 form. At that point I was confused and did what they wanted us to do which was to do I864 form. Today after 9 weeks, we got message saying he was now qualified to do I864a form and needed to be submitted. Yes, my parents filed taxes together. This petition is for my wife. 

Does anyone know if I can get an expidite request for this? Should I order 2019 IRS taxes before submitting the i864a form? Thanks in advance.  

I tried an Expidite request for their error in relation to my police certificate.. were still waiting for the response but there’s no harm in trying..

 

upload both form types so they can choose, then put in the Expidite request titled “unreasonable delay due to nvc error” (it is an approved reason listed on their website) explaining what happened.. you’ve got nothing to loose by asking for one, good luck

They’re always available, you just download them

I can't believe you're still waiting! ☹️ The whole idea of expediting is because you need to be in the US sooner or because you should have been further along in the process but aren't because NVC made a mistake.

And yet they've kept you waiting nearly a month! Makes the term "expedite" seem quite ironic

I am assuming it will put us to the bottom of the pile too.   I am hoping that they are going to just ask us to bring to the interview since the form was not available when we initially uploaded.

I think it is now available on CEAC website.

 

We are not ready to do upload it yet, because we need to have more details about the Health Insurance coverage...

Hi guys, I noticed that NVC does not accept editable I-864s. However, when I uploaded, I only scanned the signature page. All the other pages are "printed" by my PDF software. So the form is not editable by normal PDF viewing softwares, but with Adobe Acrobat they are very much editable. Will my document be rejected based on your knowledge? Is there anyway I can preemptively correct this? Thank you!

Submitted nvc documents on 25th feb and added 5540 form today 1st March. 

How did you add the 5540 after you already submitted? I thought once all docs are submitted to the NVC you can't upload any additional documents? Thanks!

There is an "add document" button that you can use to upload as many documents as you want.

My lawyer said : "The DS-5540 shows up on your drop down menu on your online profile" but I cannot see it.

We just got DQ'd this morning. Originally uploaded Documents and submitted the IV application on Feb 23rd. We had a major mistake on the application(incorrect applicant name entered) that was our fault so we had to contact NVC and get a supervisor review done to open the application back and correct the mistake, they said it will take 6 weeks to review but a few days later they re-opened it and we fixed it, not sure if it was under supervisor review that caused our case to get DQ'd a few days later but we are so very happy Alhumdulilah! God is great!

 

Now on to the stress about the public charge rule and hope the interview will go smoothly. I did upload the DS-5540 at NVC like on Feb 28th and will take an updated one to the interview with more information and supporting documents if they need. Good luck to all of you!

It is best to re upload all pages even the blank ones so it is not editable. otherwise they might reject it.
