Hi! 

 

We recently got paperwork back from the USCIS saying we needed another birth certificate. My husband is from Honduras. We sent the  certificación de acta de nacimiento. We have found a copy of his folio, but it is handwritten and is a little different that what we are seeing online. It is not long form and all we have is a copy, not the original. Does this get approved? We are currently getting it translated. 

Also make sure the seal is included with what you send. Ours was on the back so be sure to send a copy of the back if its on there.

Never send originals . only copies. You will need originals for the interview. The handwritten should be fine!

Okay, so I just double checked the PDF that my parents filled out, and I believe that I erroneously received this checklist. Everything IS filled out as directed....and I am 100% sure that all of the signatures WERE filled out by hand, not by electronic signature as this checklist claims....If I call them to say that I received this in error will they listen? 

Otherwise, my parents would just be sending the exact same thing all over again! 

You can try to ask to speak to a supervisor. They will most likely tell you they will put it in supervisor review and it can take up to six weeks. Even then you have a chance of having to resend. Alot of people decide to resend but some get lucky and talk to a supervisor on the phone. It's really a delicate decision to make.

Congrats to everyone with interviews! 😊😊

Ugh this is getting frustrating! I don't know what the deal is with Honduras not scheduling ... supposively the embassy will close from the 4th to the 10th for holidays. I figured they would be giving dates now for November already. Anyone else from honduras that is not on the spreadsheet and has gotten Thier interview??

My package was delivered 20 min ago, they wont be able to confirm anything until they actually scan it in right?

Should I should wait 4-5 days?

Right. Ours arrived in 3-4 days

I know, but it is helpful to call them. I learned about our case complete, by call the same day it was approved (8/28) and the email arrived a week later (9/4). Considering this is the last step and travel arrangements need to be made (plane tickets, hotel rooms, taxi service or car rental, medical exam and finger print scan appointments) it is best to know sooner rather than later. Calling NVC is worth it.

Oh yeah case completed come late but I haven't seen a interview appointment email come any later than the next day. But I agree it better to be safe.

I'm thinking we begin calling NVC tomorrow (9/27)? Fingers crossed, because these past 4 weeks of waiting have been very long.

I hate calling and being let down from what I see alot of people get the email alil after midnight if they were scheduled that day. I'm thinking about calling Friday also though! Good luck!

I still get confused on the scan date..lol 

 

So I just got off the phone with NVC to confirm received date of my packet 9/14.  I asked "so is this the scan date" operator says "maam I don't know what you mean by scan date...we received 9/14"  I said "Ok any other information you can give at this time?" her answer "no, you need to give us 11 weeks to review".    

 

So would I consider 9/14 my scan date?  

Yea..NVC doesn't use the term "scan date" that is just a term used here. They call it the receive date. But whenever they received it is your "scan date"

Hi everyone

 

Im new to this group. PD 18th Jan 2017, NAO2 approved: 5th Sept. Called USCIS last week and they hadn't sent it to NVC yet  hopefully soon!

 

Does anyone know how long NVC are currently taking to process cases?

Up to 11 weeks by mail.

In what order does Nvc schedule interview,my cc was Aug 31st still haven't got an interview date 

They schedule first in ,first out. So all cases that are eligible for a interview and are completed before yours will get scheduled before yours. We should start seeing interviews being scheduled again next week to the 1st-2nd week of October for November. It just depends on your country's work load and Thier interview slots..

Hi, thanks for your attention! 

We received an NVC checklist today after first scandate July 30, 2017. My wife sponsors me for CR1.

Now they want my Police certificate we already provided in the package. It's best to do what they ask and get an other one, so we will send that in again. However... They ask to add a copy of her civil documents again, saying "e.g. your birth certificate" and also a signed copy of the  I-864.

Civil documents... would be all civil documents, right? So: bc, mc, divorce decree? Also a copy of her passport?

My wife now says: But they have all those already, this does not make sense. Can you please help, so she can accept and decide what to send?

Thanks for help.

 

The only thing that pertains to your checklist is the last page of the email sent. The page that says "correspondence" . The first two pages are sent in every checklist. The first page is saying it is a checklist. The second is the cover sheet for if you are required to send them to NVC. The third page will tell you exactly what they need and if it is to be sent in to NVC.

It's gonna be here sooner than you know it!   Good luck!

Thanks! And good luck to you on your interview!

Well lady's and gents. The beginning of the month has come and gone. I think it's official that we will not be getting a October date. But it's only two weeks until until the end of the month and we will hopefully be receiving the date for November! We have waited this long I guess just alittle more!

I am so confused but that was when I assigned the agent, since July 5.

7-5 is apparently when you did your ds261 they didn't receive documents until 7/22. Most likely just mean they are still reviewing. The system may be updating on time now.

Middle of the month approaching...hoping we'll start seeing some interview dates come in soon 🤞

 

One month since CC for me tomorrow! 

Yes hopefully so! But if not this week I'm sure we will get it at the end of this month which isn't that far away. You have been waiting longer than me so I hope yours comes sooner!

Does one need to write the case number regardless on each document or only if one gets a checklist?

I definitely would! They recieve so much mail on a daily basis if something gets misplaced you have a better chance of it making its way back to your file!

I'm using an immigration attorney and he requested my W-2s and tax returns. He said no need for the transcripts since they'd have the same info.

They prefer transcripts unless they can't be obtained. Makes it easier on them. I had to send w2's and tax returns because it was too early for a transcript to be available for the current year. But either way you will be fine.

3 minutes ago, MrHanky said:

So do you need to send the W2 along with the IRS transcripts?

I was under the impression the transcripts covered everything, but someone recently told me you have to send the W2 as well.

No. Not if you submitted transcripts.

Case completed last Thursday and I got the email saying it is completed today. Although I was expecting to get it,  it still made me happy then sad haha. I was hoping just a little that it would be a interview date but i guess I will just have to wait.

So when you say certified translator, do you mean you used a service and paid a company to do it?

 

They essentially wanted the translation done by the same person I'm guessing, that stinks.

 

"Certified" just means it has a statement saying the translation is correct and the person is competent. I didn't pay anyone and my friend has no sort of certification.  They accepted ours fine. But ours was in the exact same format.

Hi guys, do you know if translations of original documents (birth certificates, police records) need to be notarized, or can I translate those myself? 

Thanks 

Ours didn't have to be notarized. We had a friend do it for us because she is good with computers and formatted the translations the same way. It just has to have a statement saying the translation is correct to the best of your knowledge and you are competent to do the translation.

Hey guys! I've totally been MIA, lots going on and I just have been caught up. Ive been trying not to think about the process. 

However, today, I called NVC for an update. 
Previously, they've said something along the lines of "we received your paper work on 7/28 and we have 11 weeks to review, you'll receive and email when they have completed the review process"

Today, they said they are actually reviewing our documents now and will contact us when it is complete. I asked if that 11 week estimate is still accurate for CC.  She said that she can't tell us how long it will take them to review. I know that this process is not too predictable time-wise. But I guess I'd just like to know if anyone knows how long it may take from here now that we are officially under review.

Would this question be better asked elsewhere do you guys think?

Hmm not saying that it's not possible but I think they have just started on July scan dates. Many times they tell people their case is under review but they just mean it's waiting to be reviewed most of the time. It only takes a small amount of time to actually review it when it gets in someone's hands it just the time up until then. Me personally I don't think they actually know when it has been picked up for review. But who knows hopefully they have sped up time for you guys!!

Good luck!
