Hi All,

 

I received an update for my case today. Submitted on September 3rd and got two emails from NVC (one to say the case is updated and a second to wait for an email for my interview date).

 

I logged into CEAC and saw the following status for the Documents submitted:

1. Mom (Principal Sponsor, submitted I-864 and Tax Return) - Accepted

2. Brother 1 (Household Member, submitted I-864A, Tax Return and Proof of Domicile) - Incomplete

3. Brother 2 (Household Member, submitted I-864A, Tax Return and Proof of Domicile) - Incomplete

4. Me (Applicant, Submitted all required Civil Documents) - Accepted

Note: I don't remember if Birth Certificates were required for both Household Members. But if it was, it would have been uploaded as well because I made sure all required documents were submitted correctly.

 

We also got a message in CEAC that simply said Documentarily Qualified.

 

Since CEAC is still under maintenance, if I click on Incomplete, I only get the warning that uploading documents is not possible. So we're not sure which documents are incomplete (if there are any, because why would it say incomplete if I also got a message for Documentarily Qualified?).

 

Does anyone know what document could possibly be incomplete for Household Members? I told my mom to call NVC as soon as possible so she could include whatever document it is in the AOS packet she's mailing me before the interview.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

Hello, 

Did you ever get an answer to your question because we are now in the same dillema.

Hello 4jacques, I filed I-130 petition for my mom in January 2019, it got approved in December 2019 and moved to NVC in January 2020, we are almost done submitting all the documents for the interview, please let us know how did the interview go for your mother in law. Also do you have any Health insurance quotes and proof of any income/assets that your mother in law has to overcome the new public charge rule? Since it’s new it’s hard to find any information on how that change affected interviews so far.

Hello Milasa, 
 

I hope you are well. On our side here things look slow. 

We file the petition Sept 2018 and was approved Sept 2019 and moved to NVC. By March 2020 we became documentarily qualified but at this point there is a one year backlogged in Haiti. This means its a year or more just to get an interview date, so the wait continues. It is crazy, unfair and ridiculous but those people in Haiti causing chaos result in the embassy not being able to work ...so, thats where we are. I am praying for a miracle in the midst of all that though.

Hope you all are staying strong! But I have to say I will do whatever it takes to bring my husband to the U.S as fast as possible! Be an advocate for your love one, especially if he/she is in Haiti😒
*blessings*

Thanks for your kind word. I understand it must be hard for you to be in one side of the world and your husband in another. I pray God shield protect your home and marriage. 

Update

Our current congressional representative is on the short list as a potential pick for President Biden nomination. So they are on top of their businesses. I called this morning to find out what is going regarding the cased that were DQ but not getting interviewed. They informed me that there is a year wait backlogged and March 2019 is currently getting scheduled. With that said, any date prior to that should call their congressional representative. 

I hope this helps. 

Thank you

She’s currently in Haiti, for non immigrant visa

I just called a friend who does immigration paperwork to find out if this is all was just us or across the board. He said during the shut down the system did stop for a few, however when the manifestation began over the lats months that really delay thing because all the consulates had to come back to state to wait for things to come down. As a result, it creates a long backlog. 

Haitians in Haiti, turning the country upside down are the reason for this.

@4jacques I still haven’t heard anything yet. I became DQ in late 11/2019. I’m just hitting my 4 months waiting period at the end of the month. I was told that Donald trump and his administration have a lot to do with this. Maybe we all should come together and reach out to our senators. I mean I k ow we are all in different states but it’s worth a try. Remember we are in election season.

Wow, why am I not surprised. A loophole, just keep delaying their applications while they are going through the legal system.

Yes Madam G, 

It is indeed a strategy. Please do reach out to your senator and share your concern. The normally have case workers who can reach out to the Department of State to figure out what is going on. Please keep us infom. Since my case is just from a week ago, I will continue to monitor you guys review from here. However, this is beyond ridiculous. People are being punished for doing things legally. Ps: above all, don't forget to vote.

@Luckycuds When I called NVC the advised me that they are going to be working with the embassy. So I will assume it’s probably still with NVC. That’s kinda what the question was how long until an interview is scheduled and or my file gets to the embassy

ANy update?

So, I started this thread and literally everyone is gone. lol

I finally got Documentarily Qualified and is waiting on interview date. However, I just read on another thread that June 2019 folks are still waiting on interview dates, I can't believe it.

Just now, Nina1008 said:

No unfortunately I have yet to contact my senator. I have however try to ask them to expedite my case and their answer was NO.

Nina,
Your case has been there for too long, I would reach out to my senator. Please keep us in the loop

I don’t know if anyone have any ideas why it takes so long to get an interview in US Embassy Haiti. I’m a US Citizen waiting for an interview for my wife in Haiti. It has been 2 months and 3 weeks since NVC told me my wife’s case was completed

Hi, did they finally schedule your interview?

1 minute ago, Nina1008 said:

I am a citizen. I have emailed and called every single week they tell me the same thing. I became DQ June 19th, 2019. That’s just not making no sense to me. 

Have you considered calling your senator to see if this is something their case worker can look into. I work for the government and as sad as it is to say, sometimes politics move thing. My MIL became DQ last week and we were thinking booking tickets for August because I have my AA mileage that are set to expire today. Seeing your post just gave me a whole other perspective on the matter.

Thank you

Nina my husband been approved since 3/2018

we were DQ since June 2019. We are still waiting on an interview. I called, emailed nothing all they say is no time frame. I have to wait. I can’t find anyone who can give a time frame this so frustrating 

I am not saying it makes a difference but are you a resident or citizen? I refuse to believe they would take 2 years to schedule an interview. That's beyond crazy

Hello friends,

Submiited all financial and civil documents on January 6th and nothing yet. Does anyone know hoe long NVC takes to review these things?

.Thanks for your reply. Do you mean NVC just started the process or you got a scheduled interview at the consulate?

I am sorry, I mean NVC just started the process.

Hi guys

I am glad i found this forum. I am a US citizen and applied for my step-kids. I-30 approved yesterday. Do you have any idea how long it will take for the visa. They are from Haiti.

Thanks

Welcome! Our application was sent to NVC in October and they just got to us. So 60-90 days seems to be appropriate right now.

Hello fellow friends,

One more question for you all

1. How do we know whether to file the I864 EZ, or the regular I864?

2. Me and wife file taxes together and we are using both income to show we meet the criteria, is my spouse considered to be a joint sponsor?

Thank you

Good 

Good morning, 

I called NVC this morning and I was told that I cannot update it on their end just to clarify the information during the interview. My mom does not have a clue regarding to how this process work, I just want to minimize potential issues prior to the interview. At this point, I am not sure what do to.So I am calling NVC again hoping to talk to someone else who can either confirmed this or help us out. 

The guy by the name of Lucas said it is legally said and they are not allowed to unlock it for absolutely no one. 

Thanks 

I called a second time and spoke to Aisha, she said once I submit all documents, if they want me to correct that, they will unlock it but if they say it is something that can be taken at the interview, they wont. So that's what it is at this point. So we will see. 

Good

DID YOU submitted the DS-260?? so you can't make changes??

if you did.!!! You have to call NVC and explain the error with the passport number. Just mention the error in the DS-260,  Do not mention the error in the from i-130 (because that's already approved).

They can go ahead and re-open the form DS-260 so you can make changes

.

The other thing to do if your case gets approved anyway and you can't fix the error is contact the US embassy before the interview date and let them know so they will allow you to fix it the error before interview.

Remember that the information in the DS-260 form has to match the passport information so they can print the VISA

 Don't worry now about the i-130 form ( if you mention that you will probably have to start all over again).

 

I can tell by experience that the embassy would let you make changes. in my case NVC approved everything but once the embassy got the file they reject the birth certificates and they asked me to upload them again.

 

Good look.

Yes unfortunately we submitted DS260. We will call them first thing on the 26th. Yes will not mention error from USCIS form. Thanks

Hello friends,

As if this process was not long enough, I just realized I made a mistake on DS 260 from. Haven't submit the financial document yet because payment has not been cleared. I dont know what to do because I know if they dont notice, this will create lots of problems. 

The passport number entered on the i130 with us is and ds260 were wrong. We filled out the paperwork with a phone picture sent to us through whatup and a number 6 appeared as an 8. So that's what we had in all the documents until we had to submit the civil document when we had them send us a scanned passport page which was a headache to get with haiti no technology. That's when we noticed the .mistake. what do we do???

Good morning Visa Journey Friends, 

Have I said, how grateful I am for you all. I am able to get direct answers here. It looks like a lot of the information online regarding the NVC Process is outdated (especially if you are doing electronic processing). I just paid the fees (both $325 / $120). 

Questions:  

1. What specific document will I need for the Affidavit of Support ( Do I need to submit letter of employment if I submit tax transcript and pay stubs). 

2. What exactly is the IV application, is that the DS260? 

Thanks a lot for all your help
