I try to log in from my cellphone, safari, internet explorer, in my PC in google chrome and it doesn't load. Ceac is down, in google it open but when you press the option to go put your case number then the page start to load but never open. I have only one email under my husband. On the 26 of April I submit papers for him for last. First I submit papers on that day for my steps and then for him. So I guess I have to wait. I call NVC and now I'm on the line waiting. Waiting can be more than 30 minutes as always.

Yes, I am having the same issue when trying to log in. So frustrating!

Some thing must be on your end...CEAC is just working fine 

I don't think is on my end. Just tried from other computer and my phone and I am having the same issue. The page opens but when I enter the case number nothing happens. Other people here also commented that they are having the same issue, so is not just me.............

Try safari...I just log in to mine...no issues 

Safari is what I always use and nothing. Seems like I am not the only one having issues login in. So weird!

Guys I just got an email from NVC to go and check my status online. I can’t login in CEaC the page don’t load. I guess I have a 4th RFE. Papers resubmited April 1 that they never review and one paper resubmited April 26

So it looks like they are reviewing cases even though the CEAC website is down. I still can't log in either (the page doesn't load, and if it does when I enter my NVC case number nothing happens.)

I jux logged in n it worked for me mayb u can try again 

I just tried and the CEAC page opened but when I try to log in nothing happens and it doesn't load. I then tried again and the CEAC website now doesn't even open

I just really hope that now that the CEAC website is down it doesn't delay the reviewing/approval process............

We both can’t open the website at the moment. I thought it was my connection but i tried with data and still not loading. He is calling again but can’t go through. Lol! He used to tell me to wait and relax. Now he is the one pissed with them. I am laughing! 🤣

Looks like the website is down. I just tried to log in and the page is not loading. 

So probably your husband got an incompetent NVC rep on the phone. Best is to speak with a supervisor.

Well another crazy story! My husband just got off the phone with a rude lady. He gave her our case number, my name and birthdate. He was reading the email so for sure he wasnt wrong with the numbers. The lady told him the case number and my name doesnt match!!! And it’s not what they have on file! And we both cant open CEAC website at the moment. 

This is crazy! Your husband should have asked to speak with a supervisor. 

When you try to log in to the CEAC website, what is it telling you?

They said not to upload multiple file. I cant remember the exact words. But something like that. I was not able to understand it first coz it wasnt me who uploaded it and I cldnt view the file. So I asked the attorney and she said, it might be the W2at the bottom of the Tax return file. So we removed it and uploaded the tax return alone. We already have W2s uploaded and accepted under the supporting documents. It’s just that mistake. I pray for CC please. I hate waiting for idk what and when. 🙏🏽

Did the RFE said something like this:

Just now, GabLuc said:

Im fine, I disclosed a lot. You guys are a great support system. I was told by IRS if I didnt make the 15K threshold I didnt need to file. 

 

She probably also thought I didn't know I was supposed to file even while living abroad.

Sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I just asked as I wanted to make sure you knew about the US tax laws. 

We are all here to help out 🙂

I had no income, and I called irs, they told me if I have no income below 15k I didn't need to file. 

 

Oh that totally makes sense 🙂

Really?! They accepted my husband’s tax return April 17. Still waiting for JS tax return to be reviewed. We uploaded same day of the 17th when we got rejected because of the W2 at the bottom. They never told us about transcript. Now waiting for it to be reviewed. 3wks tomorrow and no update. I hope they just accept it and not ask us again about transcript and make us wait for 3more weeks.  🙏🏽

I think you will be ok. The NVC pretty much changes what they request on a daily basis. I hate them!

BTW what did the RFE said about the W2? Did they just said to load it separately?

Folks, I am bummy about the taxes, I lived abroad with my husband since 2014, I last filed in 2013, and again for 2018. I only have tax returns/transcripts for 2018, I came back to the US in oct 2018 and I was planning to use my 2018 w2, 2018 transcript, recent paystubs and recent job letter to meet the guidelines. Household size 3 and my income is 40k a year based on my job letter. 

 

My aunt who filed for my grandmother last year, said they only ask for tax returns to show you don't owe taxes thats what the interviewer at the consulate told her. She said the paystub and job letter will suffice. 

 

My question is, do I ABSOLUTELY HAVE to submit 3 years tax return/transcript or is it optional?

May I ask why you have a gap on filing your US taxes?

My understanding is that all US citizens not matter where they reside must file US taxes. I been living abroad with my husband since 2015 and I have filed every single year. 

In regards of your question, for me they only asked for 2017 or 2018 transcript.

Hi! May I know what date you got the RFE and note asking for transcript? Thank you

Of course! March 6th 😉

No it does not.  they are to except either one.  I just asked Liz the attorney handling are case.

For me and others in this forum they required us to submit transcripts. Again I submitted my 1040s and W2 and got an RFE asking for transcript. When I called the NVC I was told that they no longer accept tax returns.....

Where can we leave reviews for NVC lolol 🤡

Right????? I find this stage of the process (NVC) so painful! At least with the USCIS you just needed to wait for them to approve all at once. With the NVC they are so inconsistent and they just do as they please without following clear guidelines.

I resubmitted my documents on April 25. The issue was our lawyer uploaded the rotated file by mistake and NVC rejected it. Waiting for NVC to reveiw. Looks like somebody from April 24th got CC so hope I hear something soon.

I resubmitted on the 25th as well. They wanted us to separate 2 combined documents that we submitted for "proof of domicile". So we had to separate them and resubmitted separately. So stupid as they are both related to proof domicile.

Welcome! I see your interview will be in Colombia. My husband is Colombian and I was born there as well but grew up in Seattle. We have been living in Brazil for the last 3 years as our jobs transferred us here (our interview will be in Brazil). I am currently sponsoring him as I am a US citizen.

I heard that the Colombian embassy in Bogota is also handling immigrant visas from Venezuela as the embassy in Caracas is now closed. I wonder how is this affecting the interview dates availability.

What are the possible reasons that we will be under AP? Everything was accepted April 17th except that TAX RETURN AND W2 combined. We uploaded the edited  document same day. Also, we have W2s uploaded separate under supporting documents which was accepted already. It was just that mistake. The copies of W2 was uploaded with the return. 

I hear you. I feel is because some of the NVC reps that review documents are so incompetent. I understand that when it takes longer than 3 weeks to review is because it's under AP and that's why they tell people to call back after 3 weeks so it can be escalate it. 

5 minutes ago, Kartinee23 said:

My husband called multiple times but they just tell us to wait coz it takes 3wks and that to call them back a day after the 3rdweek. Which is May 9. It is really frustrating with a small mistake they still want us to wait for 3 wks! 

When your husband calls again after the 3 weeks have him ask if your case is under "AP" (administrative processing). When that happens it means it's waiting for a supervisor to review. If is under "AP" have your husband ask to speak with a supervisor so they can escalate it.

They except wither one. Does not matter. IDK who keeps telling  People That ,BUT IT NOT TRUE. i HAVE an attorney and we submitted my 1040 and my dads who is co sponsoring 1040s. I wish ppl  would stop telling that.

I believe it depends who in the NVC reviews your documents. As I submitted my 1040s with my W2 and I got an RFE asking for the actual transcript.

Why would you submit something without sign it it that requires a signature?

I was thinking of getting my medical done right when we get our case number from NVC, since the medical is valid for 6 months.

Is this even possible, or should I wait?

I do have all the documents ready to upload online for the next step.

Online it says that they will send my medical results to the embassy (mine is Stockholm), but at this point they will not have received anything with my case yet, I assume.

So is this even possible?

Not sure if you are able. For example here in Brazil they required the date of the interview before the doctor schedules the appointment.
