KEDAWN

Guess I'm not one of the "common" folk but, didn't realize it was such a big deal......but anyway we should get lol

CONGRATS STACEY&MISHO!!!!! HOPE YOU GET A SUPER FAST INTERVIEW, GOOD LUCK!!

You can file a 1040x (an amendment) and bring a photocopy of what you send to IRS along to the interview. All they really care about is the numbers so as long as the income number is the same on the 1040x as what you submitted to NVC then you will be fine.
On your 1040x all you need to change is the status. The easiest and quickest is to use Married Filing Seperately and put NRA (non-resident alien) in the SSN box. You could do this today if you wanted to. Just make a copy and bring along to interview.
As I said they are only interested in the figures, so make sure these are the same.
I'm also sure that they will be flexible with photocopies instead of transcripts in the months of April and May because some wont file 2013 until the last day (April 15th) and transcripts are not available until the return has been reviewed by IRS.

Just got off the phone with NVC after 48 minutes hold time INTERVIEW ON MAY 6, @ 0615 YAAAAAHHHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Let me clarify your statement: I never addressed what Saylin does for the members. I know that it can be overwhelming! I appreciate what she does. However, I will NOT tolerate Saylin nor anyone else being disrespectful to me! That is the issue that I currently have with Saylin! No one forced Saylin or any other administrators/moderators to become a part of this community and help us, so please do not take out your frustrations on me or anyone else!

Saylin, let me make something really clear to you; I think that you are very helpful, but you need to watch how you talk to people! You just posted the message yesterday I do believe! That is why I said that you need to be patient. You could have addressed me in a different manner. I have never disrepected you so please do not disrespect me! The sighs were totally unnecessary!
Also, be careful not to judge, Saylin! I know quite a bit more than you think! I have been through the visa process before, going on 8 years (yes, 8 YEARS), so I can definitely testify that it is not the end of the world for me! We are not discussing the process; we are discussing how you responded to me.
Please remember that you represent VJ! So please be a little more professional when dealing with us!

Sent in my RFE on 12/30 n received confirmation by postal service it was delived 1/2/14. Then received an email from USCIS on 01/03/14 that my case could be denied due to abandonment on my behalf if I don't respond within a timely matter THEN got an email today while on hold with NCSC that they did in fact received the RFE I sent in and when the tier 2 sup. reached the phone she told me we had to allow yet another 60 days for processing. All I could do was cry. This isn't right. They lost our documents and we have to suffer for it.

ANYBODY ELSE CALLING THE NVC AND THE LINE IS DISCONNECTING?

AND I just logged onto the payment portal and the AOS fee is available to pay! Gonna pay it in just a little bit!

Guess I'm not one of the "common" folk but, didn't realize it was such a big deal......but anyway we should get lol

Thanks. It was sent out 13 days after the approval. noa1 (3/22/13), noa2 (01/10/14), shipped to nvc (01/23/14). I'll call on monday to see if it's arrived by then (which is also our 1st year anniversary).
I'm hoping he'll be home by late March. Keeping my fingers crossed and my faith alive!

Here is how you should respond:
Dear Nebraska Service Center,
According to the press release from the USCIS on October 21, 2013.
"USCIS recently began transferring some casework from the National Benefits Center to the Nebraska, Texas and California Service Centers to balance overall operational workload. The affected casework includes the following form:
I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, filed by U.S. citizens for their eligible immediate relative (spouse, child, or parent). Effect on Customers
If your case was transferred, USCIS will send you a notice listing the transfer date and where your case will be processed. Your original receipt number will not change and this will not further delay the processing of your case."
This can be found at: http://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/workload-transfer-national-benefits-center-service-centers
What you are telling me is that the press release that I got, as well as the supplemental letter stating my case would be processed within 60 days were all lies? This certainly constitutes a further delay in my case, if I'm expected to wait a further 5 months. 5 months is the target processing time of the USCIS for a stand-alone I130 case for a spouse. You are telling me that I'm actually expected to wait close to 15 months for you to process my case? The National Average processing time is now 8.9 months, which I am past, and the Processing date at your service center is now March 20. My priority date is March 19. I am therefore outside of normal processing times. You have had my case for 310 days. If my case needed additional processing, you have already had ample time to complete it.
Claiming that my case is under extended review because you have failed to process it in the 10 months you as an agency have had it is unconscionable. I can see in my case update that my case has not even been looked at since ____________. I will be contacting my Congressman and Senators and the Ombudsman, as well as Service Center HQ regarding this. And I will continue to escalate this matter as necessary until you process my case, as you should have done months ago.
I hope that you understand my position on this matter. This is my Husband/Wife and our future life together. You must understand that any further delays are entirely unacceptable, and I will do whatever I have to do to get you to finish processing my case. My Husband/Wife is important. Our lives are important. And I will continue to fight for that.

Sincerely,
Whateveryourname is

Probably everyone on this list: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11ymKxccFkwNCS782HQTh7RiV-WryCfEd0GiQXzc_QEk/edit Also your Congress people and Senators, President, Vice President, First lady,

And if you want, every single email I can pull out of the Judicial Watch FOIA press releases. Screw this bullshit. I'm so pissed for you guys I could spit nails.

CONGRATS!! I WAS FEELING REALLY BAD FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I'M GLAD THIS HAPPENED AND I HOPE I'M RIGHT BEHIND YA:)

Yeah the email was certainly bittersweet. I'm excited because I'm like "FINALLY!!" and it means that *hopefully* once I turn the stuff in we'll be moving. But it's so frustrating because it took so long for them to send it out, and because I have one to begin with. I freaking toiled over that stupid petition. I stressed myself out for DAYS making sure every single thing was complete and in order and there was no way I'd get an RFE. And now I'm getting one. *sigh*
I do wonder if it's for my husband's birth certificate which I didn't include. Since on VJ it doesn't mention it. I feel like that should be changed to say "you are not required to put in a BC, but you should just in case"
