Does it mean that my case is completed???

congratulations...when did you send the AOS and the IV packages

Hey guys i can understand how much is that annoying to stand in the queue for 30 to 60 mins. I found a website that make call to NVC and when the NVC officer available, it calls you on your cell phone or home phone.

http://gethuman.com/phone-number/National-Visa-Center/

when you visit the website, look for a button They Call you instead hit that and new window will pop. put your phone number and done. now sit back and relax or continue your work.

did you try it and it did work for you ?

yey i got my case number

congratulations...you got it today or yesterday?

Quick question.. Just called.. Lady said AOS completed and I have a checklist for my civil documents (which was sent out 1 day after AOS) but my mail for this hasn't been reviewed yet. Sooo do they email me this checklist? When do I get a copy? How long does it take?

i am wondering if you got told by the NVC operator of the date that AOS reviewed and accepted exactly.

i am still waiting to hear back from the NVC as for my checklist i sent last time

i have just called the NVC right now and i was told by them that the system is down right now and they cant answer any questions and i can call later to check...i just want to share you by these news guys

I read through all the guides so many times and I want confirmation for some folks here to see if I'm missing anything. I"m living abroad with my wife while we are waiting for her I130 to approve, and I want to use this waiting time to get any additional documents that I might still need.

Here is what I have so far (brief background, I'm living abroad with my wife, my mom will be co-sponsor).

From spouse:

- DS-230 signed

- certified copy of birth certificate

- the required medical and police clearance when available.

- Passport (copies)

From me:

- I864 signed

- last 3 years tax transcript (ordered from IRS)

- current paystubs (copies)

- copy of birth certificate (certified copy)

- divorce decree from previous marriage (certified copy)

- pending: proof of domicile, i,e current bank statement, house deed, email communication, etc etc

From Co-sponsor (mom)

- co sponsor paystubs (original)

- cosponsor tax transcript (ordered from IRS)

- I864A (signed by co-sponsor, original)

- co sponsors passport (copy)

- mom's passport (copies)

Is there anything else that you can think that I might need?

If not, Right now, the only question i have is with regards to the joint sponsor (I followed up on a similar thread): I did not include my dad as the joint sponsor because he is retired and makes 0 income. However, he and my mom are listed as 'married and filing jointly' on the tax transcript. Does that automatically make him a 'sponsor too?' If so, does that mean I also need to get him to fill out an I864A and send in passport copies?

Also, are passport copies ok, or do they need to be some how certified copies (not sure if that even exists)?

Thanks!

From spouse:

you forget tow passport photos beside the DS 230 is not necessary nowadays she will need to fill the DS 260 online application as soon as you pay the IV fee online and for more informations go to this link i am providing below so you can understand the processing with the NVC if you are going through the NVC stage as for the CR 1 Visa:

me too

hey guys i tried to check the CEAC website and i got this message

They showed that they received my IV packet on Dec. 16th, I sent it on the 12th. Up until today they said that it hadnt been reviewed yet, but on monday the rep told me to call back in a few days so he must of known something, when does NVC ever say to call back in a few days! i wasnt expecting a case complete until the end of the month, but I surely am not complaining.

until today when you called you got told by an operator that your case completed right or still under review?

I have great news......we got case complete at NVC yesterday!!!!!! I'm so excited and now we are just waiting for interview to be scheduled!!!!!! Cant contain my excitement, I know others are having a hard time, and i feel for you because we have been there too. Everyone will get their turn. I really think it might be possible to be together for our one year Anniversary on March 15th!!! Fingers crossed!

You & I.... Just checking your timeline and noticed you havent mentioned medical but got your case number back in mid November... have you had your medical yet? I thought as soon as you got your case number you could do your medical?

Thanks

there is no medical right now until the case completed at the NVC and interview scheduled by the embassy so that is the time for the medical record to be done in between the case completed and interview scheduled

Does anyone know how long it takes for NVC to respond to a checklist? I received a checklist on 12/26/13 and responded to it the next day. They received it on 1/2/14. And they gave me the standard 30 business day response. Anyone know of having them look at those any sooner??

me and you are in the same boat i got a checklist from the NVC about the affidavit of support which i submitted on December 28 and the nvc got it on December 30 and they got it into the system on January 2 and i am waiting for them to complete the case hopefully...and from what i found out after searching for so long from each case and each member signature on visa journey i came to realize it defers from case to case as for teh time frame

No, I don't believe you can request an expedite to complete case faster. My expedite was filled based on the "Extreme Emergent Situation/Humanitarian " reason which is within the requirement for an expedite request.

but this expedite request be reviewed by the embassy to be approved or denied not by the NVC right?

I requested an expedite on 12/23/12 and received an email on 1/3/14 that it was accepted by the embassy. My question is for those that might have expedited on the NVC stage. How soon did you get an interview date?

can you tell me under what situation you filled your expedite request at the NVC ? is it because you want to complete your case faster than the time frame given by the NVC ?

I called NVC 7 o clock this morning. It went through just fine.

me too i did call the NVC and it was working but i dont know if they worked after that

hello everyone here it is my situation...well i got a checklist from the NVC as for my AOS since i mistook i thought i sent the new affidavit of support version but i sent the old one so i got a checklist for it and i sent the new version last Saturday and the NVC got it on yesterday...so before i got that checklist i was told by an operator at the NVC that they lost my AOS last week so i asked to talk with a supervisor and when i talked with this supervisor she put a request for it and then in the same day i got the checklist for send another AOS new version..and when i called yesterday to get an update about my IV package the operator told me that they are reviewing it and beside this they are waiting for my AOS to be sending it and after they receive it i will need to give them 30 business days for review but beside me i told this operator that i sent the package and they got it yesterday and then she said ok and then i asked her if the request that the supervisor put last time will do anything as for my waiting time for my case complete and she said yes it will add another 30 business days before my case be completed which means 60 business days....i am wondering if anyone went through this before and if this is a real informations about the supervisor request put more time after submitting the needed documents ?

anyone ?
