    Congratulations!  Feels good to hear some people who were before me actually get their CCs...  It does not feel good thinking you're the oldest case and something has happened to it... Congrats again! :D

    The NVC says they process cases in the order they receive them but we all know that's a lie.  It's a tough road, but hang in there!! 

     

    Also, thank you. :)

     

    Form W-7 filing - original passport

    in Tax & Finances During US Immigration

    Has anyone filed W-7 lately? I read the instructions and states that original passport should be sent with Form W-7, which I have concerns about sending the original passport. I know the instructions state that the letter can be obtained from the issuing agency, but our country does not provide such letters. Can anyone share with their experience? Can I just take my wife's passport to the IRS office and have them take a look in person? or does she have to be present? My wife is not in the US right now. 

    I filed for my husband last year, he wasn't approved for an ITIN because I when I flied I didn't have the correct forms of ID they wanted and when I was able to obtain them, it was too late. The instructions also indicate that you can submit a certified copy of the passport (the instructions state those have to come from the issuing agency), though I know the IRS prefers originals.  But I understand your concern of sending the original.

     

    No, you're wife doesn't have to be present, but when you file your tax return you have to submit the W-7 along with her original passport.

    My case is currently being under reviewed! :D If any feel like they are losing hope, just wait! Listen to this conversation I recorded talking to an NVC rep. This person was so awesome. He was able to tell me everything that was going on with my case, got me a callback request with supervisor, told me whats going on with NVC, and that the full team is there (document reviewers and everyone from 7am-12am) I only captured a portion of the conversation and uploaded to soundcloud

     

    Thank you for sharing this. Let me tell you that I totally get where these NVC reps are coming from, as someone who works in customer service and in an industry where there's so much mail and reviewing of paperwork (especially all at once).  As the rep stated, not an excuse, but I get it. This does give me hope and I'm happy to hear they're working around the clock. 

    NVC Filers - December 2016

    Hope everyone had a lovely holiday. Congrats to those who got their CC.

    Anyways, earlier this week I got this email from NVC:

    ****NVC Notice of Missing Item: Please submit Form DS-260 ****

    Good day,
    The National Visa Center (NVC) received the documents you submitted in support of ___________________ immigrant visa petition. This petition's NVC case number is XXXXXXXXXXXXX. However, NVC will not review these documents until we receive an Immigrant Visa Application (Form DS-260) for each intending immigrant. Form DS-260 must be completed and submitted to NVC online at ceac.state.gov.

    Please follow the online instructions at nvc.state.gov/260 (English) or nvc.state.gov/260/espanol (Spanish). If you have any questions, please call 1-603-334-0700 or use NVC's online inquiry form at nvc.state.gov/ask (English) or nvc.state.gov/ask/espanol (Spanish).

    After you submit a Form DS-260, please allow up to six weeks for NVC to review your documents. Then, we will let you know if there is anything missing or that needs to be corrected.

    Reminder: This is only a notice that we received documents from you. We will not review them until we have received both the financial documents from the petitioner and the applicant's civil documents. You must also have paid all required fees and submitted a DS-260 Immigrant Visa application online at ceac.state.gov.

    I called the NVC and told them I did submit the DS-260 (got the confirmation email and everything) and the rep told me not to worry about it and it was probably sent in error. Has anyone ever received a notice like this before? Should I be worried? :huh::huh::huh:

    Language at Interview

    Just have to then be able to also prove you two communicate well in either of those languages or they may doubt your ability to communicate.

    Now that I'm able to do. :)

    In what language do you two communicate? And did you provide evidence to support this communication? If so then Urdu or English should not make much difference.

    We communicate in English. I don't speak much Urdu either, but am learning.

    I sent in some chat logs from Facebook and Skype, these days we mostly do voicecalls on Messenger and WhatsApp.

    Thank you both for your responses.

    Language at Interview

    I just have a question about what language the interview will be conducted in.

    My husband speaks English well, but he's not every confident about it. He's concerned that he won't have a choice and he's has to do the interview in English. When it's time for the interview, will he have the option to have a translator with him? If he has the choice to have a translator, will this be a red flag as the interviewer may think he can't communicate with me?

    Thank you in advance!

    Some good news to share, we were at the Embassy getting the CRBAs for our youngest children and an immigration officer was kind enough to take some time to answer a few questions for us. YMMV, but she said there's no reason my wife can't request an ESTA or a B-2 visa for visiting, especially given that we have four young kids. So it looks like she'll be able to come and visit for a few months near December! Only a few months apart, which is MUCH MUCH better than goodness knows how long for the whole IR1 thing.

    She also told me to ask for an expedite once the visa gets to the NVC, because they're Department of State and work directly with the embassies; apparently what happens is, NVC gets an expedite request, looks to see if the person requesting has submitted all of their paperwork, and then just emails the embassy or consulate to say, "hey, can you take this early?" And she said that she usually accepts those expedites as long as there's no missing paperwork.

    So a nice breather from all of this stress...

    That's great news. Hope everything works out for you. :)
