hey Nathan&Cata,

thanks for replying i have a Question from you we have a also freind joint sponsor

did you show to NVC proof of relationship for that, i have heard from some people you have to show the proof for that means between petitioner and Joint sponsor what you did for this ?

I think you can use a signed written letter describing the relationship to the sponsor.

Check this link out: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Step_4_Collect_Financial_Documents.html

Sweeeeeet!!! Did you submit the I-864 with the combined documents package or separately?

Yes I did submit them together in one big package.

Thanks eljourney. Do I have to wait for the IV fees to show Paid status or can I submit the documents without that?

Also when you say cover sheet from payment portal, do you mean confirmation page?

No you don't have to wait, you can submit the document. When you login to the site, click on the "Fee" (its right next to "Choice of Address & Agent").

Select AOS fee and you will see option "Print Document Cover Sheet". Similarly print one for IV fee.

Hi,

Wondering if anyone can shed light on when I can expect a possible case complete!

We sent our AOS and IV documents to the NVC on May 13 and our scan date was May 17th. However, 10 days later I realized we hadn't included one document that we should have and so we mailed this to the NVC with our barcode sheet. The scan date for this was June 3rd. When we've called the NVC, they are not clear about which is now the scan date for documents received. They just say they received our documents on May 17th and June 3rd and all documents are now together and under review. Any ideas on when we should hope for a case complete? I was hoping for June 17th but now I'm worried it will be July.

I have a similar situation. My first scan date is May 26 and second one is June 6. I was told that they will consider 6 weeks or 30 days from the second scan date.

I would say consider your second scan date (so hopefully July 3rd) It's better not to have hopes too high. If we get it earlier, it would be merrier

We have paid the AOS bill (Paid status) and IV bill (Pending status). Should my husband send the AOS document or wait until I file the DS-260 online and send the Financial documents and Supporting documents together as one file?

You can send the documents. You don't have to wait for DS-260. Just send both AOS package and IV package together.

Make sure to include document cover sheet from payment portal.

It is a big mystery!!!! Every rep told me something different!!!!! ???????????????????????? So many emotions!!!

This gives me some hope. I am happy for you This journey has been a emotional roller coaster.

THANK YOU!!!! WE GOT OUR CASE COMPLETE TODAY!!!!! THANK GOD!!!!!!

Dwheels!!!! It's my turn!!! Please add me to the spreadsheet!!!! ???????????

Awesome! Congratulations :) I thought this supervisor review is a big mystery.

Everyday I check CEAC only to see AOS say "PAID". Today on a Saturday, out of habit checked the AOS to say N/A !!!!

Wow!!! Finallyyyy ?

Congratulations!!!

Thanks! Do you know how long will it take if the case get transferred to some other country?? I m little tensed

You mean case transferred to Embassy for interview correct? Here is the link for Case Complete to Interview Spreadsheet.

I found it in this forum: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/597782-case-complete-to-interview-july-2016/page-1

You can look for estimate based on the country.

Its about my legal status in Canada. I am not able to show them that i can stay until December as my visa is expiring in October. Still i sent the document yesterday after getting the checklist. But i m pretty sure they no gonna accept it and will send my case to my country of origin.

Hope things go smooth for you and you get cc soon.

I got checklist yesterday. My first scan date was 13th may. Anyway my question is if nvc transfer your case to other embassy, how long will it take to get the visa call?

oh no! What was your checklist on? I think it depends. They usually start scheduling interview at the end of the month or first week of the month.

Congrants to the CC in the last couple of days!

I have paid our AOS fee yesterday and it shows PAID, revied our DS261 as well with a officer at NVC. Can I now pay the IV fee? When do we start the visa application?

If your IV fee is unlocked then go for it. Your DS-260 form will be unlocked once your IV fee status goes to 'Paid'.

Yesss!!! Decided to check my status just for the sake of it and I saw my 3rd n/a! Thank you Jesus!

OMG! Awesome Congratulation!!!! It was a false checklist then. So happy for you.

what does this mean ?

Bar-coded cover sheet from payment portal

how and from where to get this?

Once you do your payment for AOS fee or IV fee online you will get option "Print Document Cover Sheet".

They said they didn't receive the AOS forms so we resent them

OH no! I am sorry. How can they miss it. Did you send AOS and IV in one package? Hope they review your documents quickly and you get a cc soon.

Omg they actually reviewed the 12th?! I thought they were running behind that's wwhyI didn't see a status change...What else can they possibly want from us now?! They checklisted us for the AOS forms and we sent everything they asked for now I have to brace myself for another checklist?!! I just want to cry now, this is too much!

What was the checklist on the AOS form?

The supervisor is going to review our case because you can't get a Sharia certificate from a Christian marriage... Thank God that the person who answered my call was willing to help me there at the NVC. The supervisor is going to call my sister, he said in the next few days. Please pray for us.

I hope it goes smooth and you get a CC soon.

Thank you! They just e-mailed me the Welcome Letter!

Ok, just got done reading the other post's above about the DS-261. Just to make things clear I am able to do this form instead of my husband and able to choose myself as the agent?

Either one Petitioner or Beneficiary can submit the form and you can choose Petitioner as the agent. This way Petitioner gets all the email communications from NVC.

So, I got my case and invoice number on Friday. NVC told me that the packet will be sent to me this week. While waiting for the packet, can I already start the process?

Thanks in advance!

You don't have to wait. You can go ahead and fill DS-261 form online.

2nd scan date was May 09.... saw 3N/A this morning I believe that means case completed.

Congratulations!!!

My first scan date was MARCH 28TH, while i was expecting to get a cc on APRIL 28TH, I didnt. On MAY 2ND, wify called and told me we got a checklist on passport bio data page. It was immediately sent back and we got a second scan date on MAY 5TH. While i was still waiting and hoping to get a cc on JUNE 5TH, I didnt. My question was "what could be wrong again?". At 1:00am Nigeria time on JUNE 10TH, I got a call from wify again. What is it this time?........ It was a CC along with a P4. My interview is scheduled for JULY 8TH at 7:45am in LAGOS NIGERIA. We are in this together, and must all sail through.

Your patience paid off. Congratulations!!! Happy for you

We also had scan date May 9 for IR5 cases for my parents. The AOS fees changed to N/A today.

Congratulations!!!

Case Complete! We also had a May 9th scan date. We are almost there now!

Congratulations!!! ☺️

Seeing Affidavit of Support Fee N/A so total 3 N/As. If this is CASE COMPLETE we made it. Im just crying yet havnt called NVC to confirm. Can't believe. Thought will see PAID before going to sleep. God is there. Thank You everyone for helping us through.

Congratulations!!! This is so exciting

They received it exactly 14 days ago. I've been calling them every 2 days so far and today they told me that if i didn't have a case number on Monday they will put me under supervisor review...

That means your case was received on May 27th I believe. You should have gotten a case number by today EOD (according to the rough estimate) Since there was one day off on Memorial day I think you must get it by Monday(June 13th). Yes definitely keep calling everyday until you get the case number.

Anyone who was approved in May still waiting for their case number? Today's my 14th day being at NVC and still nothing...

When did NVC received your document? From that date it will take up to 2 weeks to get a case number.
