Shame on NVC!!!

Since AVRS could not find the case the number and my sister sent out an email to NVC. Here is Email response:

Dear Sir/Madam:

Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC).

Unfortunately, there is no way for us to update the automated phone system. You may continue to contact us through email for updates on your case.

If a period of one year passes from the last date of contact with the NVC (by telephone, mail, or email), all submitted fees and documents will expire. If this occurs, your fees will need to be repaid and documents will need to be resubmitted in order to continue the immigration process.

Ok I called them as well ...and they are saying the same ####### NVC was saying...hahaha

By the way that number is 202 663 1225....Press 1 and O.

sorry typo mistakes. I guess Citizen mother & green card wife is diferrent!

Thanks Anh Map. Only certain family members can be household members. A brother in law is not one of them.

Since My brother in law has no income except SSA Benefit what income amount i should put I-864?? Amount 0, or the SSA Benefit statement amount ?

Please help!!!

Greatly Appreciated!!!

Khaled

Again.The representatives at the NVC don't know nothing...Dont waste ur time on calling them...I called today and the lady says ,we are working on cases which were filed before Dec,2008.hahaha.I was like WHAT ?

Anyway she said ,visas are scheduled on first of every month...Which also does not make sense cos we know every month people have got interview dates on 26th of the month...I am going to call in the evening again.

Call DoS, I have found my mom interview date from them, Same day I called NVC and operator told me same #######!!

212-663-1225 dos number

Good Luck Brother!

A brother in law does not qualify as a household member for the affidavit of support.

Both the petitioner (US citizen spouse) and the joint sponsor will complete forms I-864.

Thanks for your input. It is great feelings now.

Guys!! Help Help Help!!

My USC brother in law filed for my Sister, He is disable( SSI), He hasn't been filed taxes since his disabalities. I want to be their co-sponsor!!

What Form should I fill up and what form should my brother in law fill up?

Please Help Help!!!

Thanks in advance for your help

Khaled!

Are you absolutely 100% certain you inputted the case number correctly? That you put in the 3-character embassy code correctly?

If you just got the case number last week, it could still be possible that the AVR is behind. Although I have seen a case here and there where the AVR never works, it always says "case not found". Which isn't a big deal.

Unfortunately, I have tried many times too!! Still AVRS playing same message: NO CASE NUMBER FOUND!!!!!

Is anyone has same problem or Should my sister send an email since she cannot use phone anymore of not funding her case number!!!!!!!

Guys!!!,

Paid AOS & IV fee bill, but AVRS still saying : We have no records of your case bla bla bla!!!

SHould my sister send out an email for this issue??

Is anyone has the same issue??

Don't worry about this. The AVR is usually a few days behind. Since you just got the case number this week, it'll probably update this coming week to reflect a case number has been assigned.

Thanks a bunch!!

I'm hoping NVC will send IV FEE BILL by tonight!!

Grats on finally getting your case number! It's definitely going to go faster now!

Everytime I called NVC, the AVRS palayed the message : We have no records of your case, you either enter the wrong case number or we have not receive your file, please re-enter your case number!!!!!!! WTFFFFFFF!!!!

My sister received the case number and also D-3032. She already received an email yesterday about acceptance of DS-3032!!!

So I guess AVRS still not updated yet!!! ANyone has same problem???

Thanks in Advance!!!

I need big favor from you guys!!! whoever experience the same situation!!!

My brother-in- law is disable and has no income. So he didn't file any taxes previous years. So i want to be co-sponsorship. What form should I fill up & also what form my brother-in-law will fill up!! Please help me!!

I would greatly appreciated your help!!!

Thanks

I belive in too...I hope you're prediction will come true.!!!! :dance:

The BC and MC aren't needed for the AOS for IR-1/CR-1 visas. But since you're petitioning for your mom, I'm guessing you need to include the birth certificate to show that she is indeed your mother. I don't know why they're asking for the marriage certificate though...

Thanks! May be for the Joint filing tax in 2010 since i am married.

Gurus,

Just found out that my mom's IV packet reviewed & accepted, but has sent out checklist for my marriage certificate, Birth certificate & AOS !!! #######!!!

I have sent out AOS packet on 2/28, hasn't been reviewed yet according to Operator, but he told me to send marriage certificate & birth certificate if I diddn't include it to the AOS packet. well I followed VJ wiki guide, didn't mention any BC/MC on AOS packet!!! Now....what the hell....MR. LOTO update BC/MC list on AOS packet of VJ WIKI's......!!

I'm still waiting for mine to get entered...if that makes you feel any better. They seem to be pretty backed up. It is frustrating though!

Thanks..feel way better.

What the hell going onto NVC? My mom's IV packet mail received by NVC on 2/22, but NVC Op kept telling me that wait 20 business days to put IV packet into the system...Many of Vjer's has their packet into system within 3-7 days from NVC received mail....I am going down..Anyone has shed some light on that???

Dear Fellows,

I have talked to NVC op this morning, They haven't put my mother IV packet in the system yet. Even my AVRS still giving me same message documents missing and sent checklist on 2/16. According USPS tracking info, NVC received on 2/22. How long does it takes to file put in the system? I have seen so many Vj'ers got case updated after receiving of their file 2-3 days. I think NVC is backlogged once again..I hope there will be NO SNOW FALL!!

UPDATE:

I filed form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion, and it was received by USCIS Calif. Service Ctr. on February 14, 2011.

Verified on USCIS internet site the following today:

Post Decision Activity

On February 25, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

I am awaiting the letter, but it appears the motion to reopen was approved, and since all required documents/evidence was included with the "motion to reopen" the I-130 petition was immediately approved.

:dance: CONGRATS :dance:

Hi everyone,

I am sorry if this isnt the right place to post this. Maybe the Administrator can help move it to the appropriate forum.

Here is the short story.

I am the beneficiary and our 2 children are to derive their benefits under my application. However, our case is pending AP, and the CO made mention to me at my 5th interview in July last year that if/when my husband becomes a citizen our children's visa could not be granted under my application again, that their status wld then be the children of a USC and as such each child wld be treated individually.

I then asked if the $400 each that we paid wld be transfered (as in if we wldnt need to pay any new funds), and she said she doesnt know.

We then decided to hold on the naturalization process but uptil now, we still are held up on AP(even though i was given a welcome letter and visa pick up letter at my jan 26th interview!). Husband hasnt been able to pick up some jobs cos they require US citizenship, and honestly, we can do with a boost of his income.

Hence we decided to go on with naturalization process but wld like to know:

1. Does he need to fill out any forms indicating to the embassy he is now a USC (when he turns one)?

2. File a new I-130 for the children AND wait for so long again?

3. Pay new fees or whatever it is one needs to do?

I hope i have been very explicit. Pls do noy just read and glide on. Your informative response wld be highly appreciated.

Watching and waiting.

Let me give one answer.....

DO NOT APPLY FOR CITIZENSHIP!!!! just stay on F2A, according to your timeline you're on current priority date and embassy put you on AP. If your husband become US citizen, then your childs falling to F1 category( if over 21 years) which priority date Jan/2005..doesn't match on your priority date.

If your children is under 18 years old...then they can fall into immidiate relatives category which your husband has to be US citizen. Doesn't need to wait for VISA numbers!

For AP issue, ask your husband to request constitution help from his state senator..many of Vj'er got help from them!!!

Good Luck!!

Thank you, Khaled_usa.

It was not my intention to cheat with "immigration", but I never told them that I've changed the companies (1st company-sponsor - 2nd employer - looking for a new one). They did not ask either. I've used my alien #, my EAD, filed for new EAD and received it as well.

As for marriage, I was told the same thing as you have indicated: my wife and I can file together and get a GC at the same time.

I was never informed that termination of employment would automatically terminate my AOS... Than how possible that I have EAD based on my AOS, if AOS has to be terminated?

As we both know that you're on EAD status NOT AOS, you need to file AOS again with new employer, with this EAD..You wont get your GC, your I-485 application will be denied with previouse employer!! once your previouse employer inform USCIS, that you are not longer with them..USCIS will deny your I-485 applications, also in this point you might get lucky if your previous employer didn't inform in the mean time USCIS may be pre-adjudicated your file, it is also depends on your priority date too, you might have apply again I-140 application again with new employer, Overall i would say You are in danger point..Lawyer would be the best solution at this point.

Good Luck!!

Dear All,

I am not sure where to post this, so pardon me if I've picked the wrong sub forum.

I came to work in US in 2004. I was on H1B visa until winter 2010, when I applied for EAD (I have filed for AOS in summer 2006). In other words, I am currently on EAD. The new card has just arrived and is good till next February.

Apart from the fact, that I am currently looking for a job, hence my whole immigration future is under a big question, I want to ask you the following: can I get married on a non U.S. Citizen and proceed with immigration papers on her behalf when my priority date is due? Considering, that I will have a sponsor /employer by that time.

The main question is if she can come to U.S. on a business visa (currently open), we're getting married and she goes back. We do not do anything immediately. My attorney said that it is absolutely legal, another one mentioned a 60 days waiting period before the marriage. I am a little afraid of this "intention to stay" thing.

Sorry for absence of the key information. I appreciate you time for response.

Here is option for you as you are on AOS process:

First of all you got laid off from you previous employer which made you terminate of AOS process, You need to find New company who can apply for your AOS process.

Second of all, Example you got new company and filed for your AOS process, then you could include your present wife in same application and both get EAD card including GC together if USCIS approve it.

Third of All, Your wife could choice both consulate process and AOS in the united states. It means that if she marry you here , then go back to her country..you could add her in your AOS application with consular process!

Good luck!!

Just got the IV Bills today, I filed for I-130 for my wife and daughter only last September, so there is almost no hope right now, I will be eligible to apply for US citizenship November 2012, chances are I will have to become citizen first.

So my questions are,

1)does it make sense to pay the bills now? Do I have to pay the bill again once I become US citizen?

2)since my wife is the principal applicant, do I need to just pay for her only? the note on the website said have to pay the principal applicant's fee before completing the processing(what does THAT mean?)

You are away beyond the priority date. I realy dont understand why DOS keep sending F2A fillers DS-3032/IV Fee bill? What are the facts beyond all these collecting payments...As i know you're payments is good to till visa approve/Denied at consulate section..Do not need to pay again.

You have to pay IV fee bill and complete the case within a year of issue IV fee bill generated, otherwise you need to pay again..it should says in Universal I-130 ACI.

I am very much curious about DOS/NVC's recent actions of collecting fees.
