US Immigration from New Zealand

Hi guys!

We are applying from New Zealand, you might remember us from the forums on here over previous months.

So we got our NOA2 today but we are just wondering what documents we would have to upload for the NVC such as civil documents etc when it gets there, I'm trying to find specific results FOR NEW ZEALAND but can't seem to find transparent answers on the state department website.

Can anyone from New Zealand give us some insight on what documents are needed for upload?

Thank you!

Hi we had our k1 interview on May 25th at the Auckland NZ consulate and they told us we were approved. Our CEAC status changed to "application received" on june 3rd. Nothing since. It has been about 3 weeks they wont answer our emails either. Our lawyer said we should stop reaching out because it might make things worse.

Is there reason to be concerned ? I haven't seen anyone who was approved take longer than 3 weeks.

Hello,

My fiance has his interview on May 25th 2021 in New Zealand. He said it went well and it was approved and that he would receive his passport back within 2 weeks but it has been 15 days and the CEAC status only says "Application received" for over a week. No update at all. When I check other people's timelines they received their visa within days but ours has not been touched. I try contacting the consulate but no answer. Is this normal? I am starting to get really bad anxiety over this. Any experience with this?

Best,

Ashley

The NVC recently reviewed the documents for my husband's IR application. My I-864 (as USC petitioner/sponsor) and financial evidence was all accepted, however there was a message with a review note that said: Please submit every 2020 W-2/1099 form for "me"

I do not have a W-2 as I only have overseas income and I am instead using evidence of our assets to meet the I-864 financial requirements. I already submitted my 2020 IRS transcript and this was accepted. I do have payslips... should I upload some or all of these (there are 26 of them for the year)? I also provided a letter specifically stating I intend to use assets to fulfil the I-864 requirements due to having no US income so I don't see how payslips or a W-2 for that matter would be necessary or relevant in this case. Has anyone else come across this issue and found a solution? We have decided to add a joint sponsor anyway to cover our bases but this still does not solve the request for W-2 issue. Thank you!!

We are going through the IR process for my husband and made it to the front of the line for NVC document review last week. They reviewed and accepted all forms and documents except one, his police certificate, which we had not uploaded correctly. I uploaded and submitted the correct file within a few hours of getting the message. My questions is, how long is it likely to take NVC to go back and review the new document? Another 5 weeks?? I noticed that the date on the new document is still the same as the original submission date but it has been a couple of days since submitting and nothing has changed.
