Just got off the phone with NVC. The interview dates for my wife and daughter was scheduled today as follows:

EKIM-----------------10JUL12--------------19DEC13------------27DEC13------------06FEB2014-----------PHILIPPINES (DAUGHTER)

EKIM-----------------10JUL12--------------19DEC13------------27DEC13------------26FEB2014-----------SINGAPORE (SPOUSE)

Note: There are no emails yet but confirmed by rep it was scheduled today.

Yes you are case complete. Congrats! When did you sent your documents?

Thanks. When I called NVC last week, they said they received the docs on Nov 15. I got the email at 6AM EST Today.

Got an email saying:

The National Visa Center has received all documentation necessary to complete pre-processing of your case. As soon as an interview date has been scheduled, the applicant, petitioner and attorney (if applicable) will be notified.

Does this mean case complete?

Hi guys. Just finished gathering the civil docs. NVC sent us a checklist to submit the civil docs (DS-260 is done).

The question is, which coversheet do we need to use for the civil docs. The one in the IV payment summary or the one in the check list? They have different attention(attn) in the address. One is CMR the other is DR.

Thanks.

I filled out DS-260.

Now must I send to the NVC original documents or copies may be sent? Birth certificate, marriage certificate. Do I need to send the passport, too ? Or is a copy of it?

Here are the requirements for the civil docs.

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html

The checklist contained the cover sheet and info regarding how to submit and send correspondence. The only important excerpt is the following:

"The National Visa Center received your DS-260 form. We are waiting for the traveling applicants supporting civil documents to be submitted to the NVC. Your online Immigrant Visa Application will be reviewed upon receipt of your supporting documentation."

Basically, they aren't asking me to provide any specific doc. It looks like the system doesn't recognize that I already mailed all the civil docs. The NVC agents told me not to pay attention to it. I don't know if you got the same checklist or not.

Looks like that is not a checklist but a confirmation notice. Thanks though for the update.

I got an e-mail today (checklist) asking to submit the civil docs which I did two weeks ago. I called and they told me not to worry about it and they said it's an automatic e-mail. However, the e-mail I received didn't mention anything about the police certificate, so maybe you wanna call the NVC to find out what's going on

Thanks. I called them twice before and both said they will email a checklist once AOS is approved. Then my wife can bring it to the SG Police Dept. However, I want to make sure that they will send a checklist especially that the waiting time is around 30 days to review the AOS docs. If you don't mind, could you please pm me the contents of the checklist omitting personal information. Thanks.

Hi all. To those who are waiting for case completion, did you received a checklist from NVC with required civil docs when they finished reviewing the AOS docs?

My wife need a checklist/letter to request a certificate of clearance (police cert) from SG.

im also here in sg... and will also need coc... they say must bring the coc on interview only... so we can present our il to obtain... not so sure also...

Hi all.

Anybody know where can I get a copy of "Request Letter for Singapore COC.docx"? The link from state,gov seems broken.

In addition, are we expecting a checklist from NVC after paying IV fees (F2A)? Looks like we need a checklist to request a COC from Singapore.

NOTE: Non-Singapore citizens requesting a Certificate of Clearance must also submit a copy of this letter after adding the names of the principal and dependent applicants as indicated, along with the checklist letter from NVC.

Please refer to http://www.spf.gov.sg/epc/cert_issued.htm for further information and updates on Certificate of Clearance from Singapore.

You hold a Philippine passport right? So, yes, you will need to get an NBI clearance AND the Singapore police cert.

Thanks. Actually my wife is the primary applicant and she got a hit from NBI 10 days to release the clearance.

Anyone heard from NVC, pls update here. In our case, NVC still did not have our petition. Very disappointed! It's been 8 weeks & 2 days since we got approved. Approval day August 13.

Send an email to nvcinquiry@state.gov so that they can look into it.

Police clearance is for those who have lived/worked abroad (outside the Philippines) for 12 months or more. You need PC from that foreign country.

NBI clearance MUST be submitted for applicants 16 years old and above. Get the GREEN one, for travel abroad.

Hi apple21. Is the NBI clearance required even if you are a permanent resident of another country (Singapore) for a couple of years now? Or Just the clearance from Singapore?

TIA.

Just paid the IV fees. Any idea how long it will take for the DS-260 form to become active?

I received a response after 10 days! I suggest it's better to call..

Thanks. Unfortunately my request can not be done over the phone. I think they need a written consent as evidence.

Anyone here from Singapore? How did you get Police Clearance?

My wife is a resident of Singapore (not citizen). I read somewhere that Singapore need a letter from USCIS/NVC to get the clearance. Do NVC issue this letter?

Thanks.

Be patient. I waited 1 mo and 1 wk as well.

Hi ekim ... No, you should leave it in blank...

Thanks for the quick reply I am preparing the AOS docs right now and these will be on their way to NVC on Monday.

Hi all. Quick question in AOS form I-864.

For Part 5. Sponsor's Household Size. If I am sponsoring my spouse (primary applicant), do I still need to put her (1) in line item 3 (If you are currently married, enter "1" for your spouse)?

Thanks.

Will there be any problem (in the processing) if I submit form I-864 instead of I-864EZ? I called NVC for clarification but they can't decide on it, they said it's for me to choose. I am not sure between the 2 forms since I have 2 separate cases/application running in parallel.

Hello again. Any idea which AOS form I need to submit for:

1.) My Spouse/Wife (F2A)

2.) Daughter - 9 yrs old (F2A)

They both have different case.

I am confused between I-864EZ and I-864.

TIA.

Ekim,

I just got off the phone with a nice NVC guys and he explained they will have to be together or i file another case for my son where he is now while i continue with my wife. He said in the past they allow that but not anymore.

So unfortunately, i might have to either file a new case for my son while my wife process her own in UK or i take my son to UK prior to visa interview. Same might apply to you.

Thanks fir the update. With ours, both my wife and daughter already have a different case number but looks like they assumed they are together so they auto linked it. Hopefully they will act soon on my email telling them to process it separately.

Hi all. Any idea how long NVC respond to email inquiry?

I filed separate I-130 for my wife and daughter at the USCIS. When It reached NVC, they automatically linked the applications which means my daughters application is now included in my wife's case #. Both have different beneficiary id. When I tried to check my daughters fees at CEAC using her NVC case #, I saw something "In the process of termination".

Since my wife and daughter are currently living in different countries because of work, The NVC phone support advised me to send an email to NVCINQUIRY@state.gov and tell them that we want to process the daughter's application on its own case and not include in my wife's case.

Anybody here have the same scenario as ours? Is it really not advisable to have the applications in the same case if they are living in different countries. The support said we need to prove that our daughter is living in the same country where my wife is if we want them in the same case.

TIA.
