Everyone goes into AP after interview. It is administrative processing. If they asked for nothing it will change in 1 to 2 days then to Issues.

I'm aware of that.  My wife was given the 221g form, regarding the 1040 form for the 2016 tax year.  So I will be submitting those tomorrow.  Everything else was good.  Hopefully we are in the clear.

Just an updated.  My wife interview was today.  Interview went well, they took her passport and fingerprints.  As of right now her status shows Administrative Processing.  

The only issue we have is that I forgot to submit my 2016 1040 form.  I originally didn't submit it since I filled an extension.  I should get my 2016 1040 form tomorrow, and I've already contacted the embassy to confirm if they will take a scanned copy, rather than sending the actual 1040 form... we will see what happens.

Got the interview letter earlier this afternoon.  Interview for my wife is set for September 28. 

I'll add my info to the spreadsheet.

Sure thing.  Here are instructions on how to edit/save the questionnaire.

Tried to update the sheet, but deleted the original email confirmation form.  I've gone ahead and made another submitted an updated submission, so if you can kindly remove the first submission that would be great!  

Case is still under supervisor review...

No "CC" yet.  But just got off the phone with the NVC just to see how's my case coming along.  He notice that I'm coming up on my 11 weeks, and he said surprisingly my case is not in the review department.  He put me on hold for about 2-3 minutes, and mention to me that my case is going to be submitted into the review department by tonight.  Not sure how accurate to what he was saying, but i'll think positive and pray to get that "CC" by end of this week or next.  Original scan date 2/3/2017.  2nd scan date 5/26/2017.

Same here nothing yet.  Second scan date 5/26 

Second scan date 5/26.... 

Been away from the forum for about month ever since I received the checklist from the NVC...I should be sending off the papers from my wife early next week, that the NVC had requested.  Just wanted to get caught up here, is still up to 11 weeks for a case review?

Original scan date was 2/3

Hello!

Did you send the translations for all those documents?

Regarding the police certificate, it is to my understanding that you need both Panama and Argentina's police certificate if she has lived in Argentina more that 6 months at any time in her life.

Good luck!

1. Make sure all they were all translated.

2. If she lived in her birth country until the age of 16 she has to submit it. (Hence she lived there for 16 years)

3. Always send the long versions.

To answer your questions.  I've sent the translations as well.  But here is an update, after from my original post, an NVC supervisor called me back.

1. - Birth certificate - Just needs to have the "Civil Registry" stamp seal.  It had everything they needed, just needed that seal.  So my wife will be working on getting that.

2 - Marriage certificate - They lost the marriage certificate document.  While I was with the supervisor, I made sure they were looking at the documents, as I was looking at the exact mirror copy of the documents I sent over.  Flipped through the pages, and that particular page was missing.  Not sure how that happened, since its the EXACT copy of what I sent. My wife has the originals and I have the copies, so I'll be sending that over.

3. - Argentina police certificate - I don't have to submit it per the supervisor, but I'm not going to risk it, so she will be getting those to me as well.  

It's unfortunate that this happened but it happens to the best of us.  I'll be sending the documents as soon as my wife gets it to me.  I will keep this thread updated once I send it and when the NVC gives me the 2nd scan date.  The supervisor also mentioned that it will fall under the 11 week time frame for reviewing, but I'm definitely going to push through it and bug the hell out of them once they receive it and keep asking for a supervisor review!  Good luck to everyone else waiting, definitely stay positive it will get done!

Have you heard any thing from NVC yet??

Yes I have! So on Monday, I just did a usual follow up regarding the status of my case, and come to find out that I will be receiving a checklist (I officially received a checklist last night) regarding my wife birth certificate,  our marriage certificate, and my wife police certificate. When I spoke to the customer service representative, I asked for a supervisor to give me a call back, and also ask to speak to a representative since I was on the phone, but wasn't able to get a hold of one.

I did a follow up in the afternoon just to be pro active, and the second customer service representative blatantly lied to me on the phone about the checklist in-regards to the wedding certificate & DS-260. "We can't accept your marriage certificate because it doesn't match the DS-260.  It says on the DS-260 Argentina was the place of marriage, and I submitted a Panama Civil Wedding Certificate". I wasn't on the computer at the time to look over the DS-260, but when I got a chance to look over everything, the customer service was 100% wrong, so that got me really upset.  

My wife was born in Argentina, but her current residency is in Panama, and we got married in the country of Panama so.  

The 3 checklist I received:

1. Wife birth certificate - "We cannot accept the birth certificate document you sent. You must send us the correct document so we

   can continue to process your case.  To see the guidelines for your document, go to our website at.... I went to the website, googled Argentina birth certificates, and compared to hers.  It's the same thing.  It has all the seals/stamps, and the information from the comments from what they are asking on the NVC website.  I'm assuming I've sent the "short version" I can't confirm because I have not spoken to a supervisor.  

2. Marriage certificate -  "We cannot accept the marriage certificate document you sent. You must send us the correct document

   so we can continue to process your case."  Not sure why we got this, since it's made it to the NVC, if this wasn't the correct marriage certificate, wouldn't it have been flagged at the USCIS?  But we did a civil wedding in Panama, which the marriage certificate is from.

3. Police certificate - "We cannot accept the police certificate document you sent. You must send us the correct

   document so we can continue to process your case. To see the guidelines for your document, go to our website..."  When I sent the NVC, I only sent the Panama police certificate as per the NVC website Police certificate requirements because I read it as:  "If you" Are 16 years old or older AND you Have lived in your country of current residence(if different from nationality) for more than 6 months THEN submit a police certificate from Your country of current residence"  That was my reason why I only sent the Panama Police certificate, correct me if I'm wrong.  

4. 

I have yet to speak to a supervisor before I send it to the NVC to make sure and clearly sending the correct documents for the NVC.  So as of right now my wife in Panama talking to the Argentina Embassy to get a hold of her birth certificate and police certificate, as we have to prepare.  But as of right now I'm waiting to get a hold of a supervisor and for them to give me a call back.  It's frustrating and a setback, but all the customer service representatives I've spoke to, I've asked them to provide their names.  So we will see how this turns out.

Just got off the phone with the NVC, case just went into review today.  Scan date February 3.  Hopefully no checklists and come out with that "N/A"!

You do not have to wait for the bills to show paid before sending your package. You can print out the cover sheet once the AOS bill is invoiced. The AOS and IV documents are to be sent in one package arranged in the order it appears on the checklist received with the welcome email from nvc. I put the checklist on too, followed by the AOS cover sheet and the rest of the documents followed. Do not forget to mark the 

checkboxes on the checklist. All the best!

Per the NVC website, this was just updated recently

Thanks for the tip. I will make sure to not miss anything. As per your timeline you took a month for AOS and IV packages to send to NVC. Was there a delay in compiling evidences?

 

Is there anything I can do to send the packages ASAP after the bills show paid?

 

Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

There was no delay..I was actually with my wife during the holidays visiting her family.  And when I got back to the states I got busy with work and she also got busy with work,  I would the say the only real delay was getting the police certificates from her took about 3 days to get done plus 1 day to get it translated.  I over nighted my AOS & IV packages, via UPS, but thats up to you.  Also make 2 exact copies of everything that you're sending to the NVC.  I'm roughly 1 1/2 week in since my scan date, I've been on the other thread following up with what's going on.

Good luck!

Completed DS-261 on 02/14/2017. Called them to see when the Fee bill for AOS will be generated.

 

They said that the initial set of instructions are still not sent to us, so they can not see our DS-261 yet.  Website still allows us to complete the form even though the instructions are not sent to us.

 

I guess we will just wait and watch. Hope they send fee bill soon.

 

Good luck everyone.

It took 2 business days for both invoices to clear and appear "paid" on my fee bill to show as paid.  Also before you send the AOS & IV packages make sure you print and attached the document cover sheet for both AOS & IV package, you can only print the document cover sheet after it shows paid.

What ever happen to that google docs spreadsheet with Scan Date / CC / Interview date...it be good to see how everyone's progress is going on this thread.

My scan date was 2/3
