Congratulations, that was fast  good luck on upcoming interview

Thank you! I'm getting my interview date at the same times as the people who got CCs on late Feb. and early to mid Mar. They really do wait until the end of the month and give everyone dates pretty much all at the same time.

Hey Everyone!

Congrats to those who recently got and are moving onto the next step!

I called NVC this morning and asked the rep if we had an interview date yet and, she said yes, it's on MAY 2!!! yay! I haven't got the P4 letter yet over email. I'm thinking this will happen later on today. My case complete date at NVC was March 16.

HANG IN THERE EVERYONE!

Just called NVC and got my husband's interview date on May 2. CC: March 16. Haven't got the P4 email yet (I think I might later on today). Yay almost there!

Hello all!

I just called NVC this morning as soon as they were open. WE GOT OUR INTERVIEW DATE! YAY! Haven't got the letter in the email yet but I assume I will get it shortly.

Ugh got a RFE email today have to wait the letter by mail. I wonder what evidence they request. Can someone who have gotten an RFE  comment what they requested.please

 

 

Hi @Maritza rmz, I got an RFE before too. It was for our marriage certificate. I had turned in a copy of the original. They wanted a copy of the government's copy of the original. Hahaha if that makes sense it's the "official government copy" by the NSO/PSA authority in the Philippines.

Anyway, this is a good sign that they have looked at your file. When we got an RFE, it took 2 business days after they had received the evidence to be approved.

Yeah, so just wait for your letter because it can be anything it can also be multiple things. You can't know unless you have the letter.

Hello, I have the same case. I petitioned my husband and I live with my mom who is also his joint sponsor. I did NOT file an i864a but i did file an i864 for my mother and myself. I did this because my mom never claimed me on the tax, but then someone told us we had to file the i864a and will probably get a checklist since we didn't. We did not end up getting one.

We had our case completed by NVC last March 13.

Thank you.  In still confuse. I am the petitioner,  us citizen &  divorce. Do I still have to send my birth certificate even though I'm sending copy of passport. 

So according to them, you would need to send in the beneficiary's birth certificate. They won't ask for yours since your sent your passport. You can try to call them to make sure if you're feeling nervous. I sent my US passport page but since I'm also naturalized, i sent a copy of my naturalization certificate.

On 3/19/2017 at 9:14 AM, Ulrica&Jesse said:

Thank you very much for your post. I'm wondering are pay stubs from last 6 months a requirement or just something additional that we can include to the application?

You're welcome! The pay stubs are just adddional reinforcement. To us, since we had an RFE in the USCIS stage, we tried to avoid a checklist as much as possible at the NVC stage.

I have a question regarding joint sponsor. So my mother and father in law are planning on being our co sponsors but the thing is that my mother in law quit her job two months ago and plans on getting a new one. She does has a consistent income for past years and taxes in order. Would it create a problem for my application, her temporary quitting her job? 

I had this same situation technically.so when i had filed, my mom quit her job but transferred to a different company about 2 weeks later.  This was during the time that I was compiling the packed to send to NVC. I submitted the minimum requirement plus more. So they only ask for the last year's tax return/tax transcript, but just in case, I have sent her last 3 years of tax transcripts, an employment letter from her previous job and i waited for her to get into her new job and asked for an employment letter from them. Additionally, I also sent her last 6 months of pay stubs from work. We just wanted to be on the safe side instead of being denied or getting a checklist. Hope this helps.

I've been trying to look back at old posts, but I can't figure it out. What does 3 N/As mean? 

Hi @juliamccull, so here is a little giveaway that your case has reached a case complete status. You log into your ceac, where you paid the fees online. Click on the DS-260 payment link. Then if you log in to your page, and you notice that one of the "PAID" links turns into an "N/A's" (so usually you would see 2 N/A's, but then one paid turns into the third N/A), you can call to confirm because that is an unofficial sign that you have a case complete.

Hopefully the pictures help.

Congrats, @zaiddiaz!! 

 

You'll likely get a May interview... maybe you could sneak into April, it all depends on your embassy - good luck!  

Thanks @misshepburn

Yeah May is what we are expecting. But we won't know till we get the appointment date. I'll let you guys know!

Hello all!

Just found out today that my husband's case was CC at NVC yesterday 03/16. I called two times today to confirm. The second time, I asked about interview dates and the guy told me they haven't scheduled yet, so I asked if they are still doing April. He said no. I don't know how reliable he was hahah.

Hello Everyone!

It's been a while. I have been letting the NVC drain the life out of me like the rest of us waiting there.

This morning, i checked my CEAC and saw 3 N/A's and i called to confirm that my case was completed yesterday at NVC. Now just waiting for my husband's interview date and the next steps.

I was actually stressing quite a bit because we thought for sure we were going to get a checklist because we did not submit an i-864A, just the normal i-864 for my mom who is the joint sponsor. But i guess not.

Anyway, hang in there! Your approvals will come soon!

CC:03/16

Hello everyone! Congratulations to everyone who recently got approvals!  

 

Pretty quiet from my end---still waiting for NVC approval just like the rest of the backlogged applicants who have been waiting for ages now. We are on the 5th week since our scan date, but we mistakenly thought it was our 6th week so we called up NVC and was told they had until 6th week to get to our pack. It is frustrating when you let it get to you, but you know, it is what it is. Everyone will get to the end of this journey no matter what, anyway. 

 

Thank you to everyone who have been so helpful with replies and information! Have a great week!  

Yep. We are about 1 week behind you. Today is the 4th week and it is pretty much driving us crazy since I was calling so often. My husband and I agreed on only calling once a week so we can save some of our sanity. Good luck!

Hit the 6 week mark since my scan date at the NVC last Wednesday and called them up. I waited until I got an operator - averaging 40 minutes for me when calling 2pm Pacific time. In addition to the usual questions (petitioner name, beneficiary name and birthdate) they asked if I submitted my DS-260. I always pause and that question thinking to myself it's odd question since don't they see it on their system. Anyways...they told me since it has been passed 6 weeks it will be sent to supervisor review. 

 

Been calling everyday since then to get a status update and noticed I'm more annoyed with waiting on hold. Hoping to get a CC soon but not getting my hopes up yet. 

 

By the way, I've had best chance in getting through the busy message and connected to NVC customer service by not selecting early morning or lunch breaks or dinner time. And if I do get a the "busy message" I just hang up and call again. The other day I must have redialed 20 times. I know that maybe difficult for those living outside of the US. Just wanted to share my experience.

From my experience in calling every single day, you get little to no wait time (as in it goes straight to the operator) if you call at 5:00 am pacific. I also try to call in the afternoon (4pm pacific) but it's a lot worse. You get the busy message most of the time, and even if you do get through, you get put on hold for 30-45mins average.
