I had the same experience but it was automatically resolved within a few hours of the dq email.

Hi all, since I have been DQ'ed today, I wanted to share the anecdotal information I have been collecting thus far. This would probably be most helpful to those who are currently waiting to get DQ'ed in October. Finally, I cannot thank the VJ community enough for all the help I received, so thank you all and good luck on your "DQ journey".

Okay I understand. My JS has not been able to gain access to his 2021 tax transcript but his taxes were processed just fine. So we submitted his 2021 full and complete tax return along with W2s. Just waiting for our DQ which should be within these next two weeks 🙏🏻
Yeah if your JS has the full tax return then you should be good. Usually that’s all you need (+W2/1099)

Just now, Ctavarez90 said:
May I ask what’s a WAGE AND INCOME TRANSCRIPT? How is that different than your Tax transcript?
When you go on the IRS portal there are four options. One of them is IRS Tax Return Transcript and another is the Wage and Income Transcript. It is common knowledge around VJ forums that you want to submit the tax return transcript and not anything else but for some reason we were specifically asked by NVC to submit the wage and income transcript. We thought maybe it was because of the purported IRS delays (my JS still does not have his 2021 tax return transcript processed by the IRS.).

What does your DQ email say?
The National Visa Center (NVC) received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate General overseas.
NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in SEOUL, KOR to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner and attorney (if applicable).
Please do NOT make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until you have received an immigrant visa from the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General.
The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General may require additional documentation at the time of the interview. Please visit https://nvc.state.gov/prep for information about immigrant visa interviews.

I received two emails saying I am dq but when I log on to ceac it says INCOMPLETE for my JS documents. When I click on it it says Application Error. Should I be worried?

it is not an email. The email just said our status has been updated. But when i logged in there was the message. all other documents say "accepted", but I dont see "documentarily qualified" anywhere (from my understanding it should be in the message box but idk)
Yeah, that's how my RFE was. Just an update notice. My NVC stage started in May. I am still waiting to be DQ.

"Case FE Review Note" is exactly what it says. Nothing about consular officer or anything like that. literally just that one sentence.
So do we start the wait now all over again, is that correct? Any chance they'd look at it today yet if my husband uploads it all (if he can find it and scan it that quick idk, he is at work now)?
Yes, this is an RFE. He might try to submit it quick but that rarely translates to a quicker response time. More than likely you will need to wait for another 50-60 days at the current rate of NVC processing.

Guys, I need advice... I just got email from NVC, all of our documents were accepted (we uploaded everything August 7), but then there was a message saying "Please submit every 2021 W-2/1099 form for (my husbands name)" - does that mean RFE? Or are we DQed? it doesnt say "RFE" anywhere so I am confused. We sent them last 3 years of tax returns/transcripts + bank statement even though it wasnt needed in our case. What are they asking for?
1. If you get an RFE, it won’t say RFE. It will say things like Case FE Review Note or something.
2. If your email states that you are DQ then you don’t need to worry about it. Just make sure you upload W2/1099 if you have any after you get the IL. Does your note say consular officer will make a decision?

Sucks. Do they expect you to just find another job?

After DQ, NVC won't review any newly uploaded documents. Follow the consulate-specific instructions.
Yes, but I haven’t been DQ’ed yet. I wanted to figure out if this would be a problem at NVC. I figure it is not then.

*** Moved from NVC forum to Embassy/Consulate Discussion -- topic is about consulate-specific instructions ***
Perhaps, but I actually wanted to find out how it would go at NVC. So, I take it NVC does not care about this?

For their mistake ? This is absurd .. waiting another 2.5 months…… did you get DQ’d after you did this ? Did you get a response to the inquiry fast ?
No, I am not DQ yet. I made this list to reduce my anxiety for myself. I am dealing with an RFE (but obvious fault of our own).
I did have some private chats with people who were going through similar situations like you and honestly the prognosis is not very encouraging. I hope someone else will come to this thread and suggest a different solution. So sorry.

1 minute ago, MrsSmithh said:
So when -#5 happens, what do you do ?
Yeah, it's so frustrating. What I was told was to send the document again (maybe with a cover letter explaining that it was already accepted) and send an inquiry and wait all over again. If anyone else has a better way to resolve an issue like this, please comment
-
I was reading through instructions from the embassy in my country: https://uploads.mwp.mprod.getusinfo.com/uploads/sites/67/2022/06/Instruction-pkt_MIV_Expd.pdf
It says I must submit civil documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate) that were issued within 1 year. Well, at the time I was uploading to CEAC they were within 1 year and they were accepted, but I got a FE Review note, and now those civil docs are slightly older than 1 year. Perhaps I can get new ones issued and bring to the interview after I get DQ'ed since those other documents are already accepted? Will this be an issue?

I first submitted on March 24th, had missing documents so resubmitted on June 6th than August 12th they said there was a problem with my tax return. They document qualified me today after I resubmitted the tax return August 13th. They probably did it so quickly cause I had Congress call them and they sent my case to document review.
How did you get your congressman to help you? We were in touch with a congressperson, but they asked what number they call and I couldn't provide an answer.

But that doesn't necessitate that they are picky because of this reason, it could just be time crunch. Same juice, difference squeeze as it were.

It’s just a completely hopeless situation not being able to call to find out what’s gone wrong. I have no idea if the response I received is good or bad or means anything at all. I’m completely in the dark as to whether anyone is or will be looking into my case. I’m just stressed to the max right now!
Hopefully in 60 days or so you will get an actual reply and things will get moving. Absolutely unacceptable.

Your profile says EB1. Employment-based visa categories have different NVC process than family-based ones. You likely will not see the civil documents tab or status on your CEAC page.
Oh sorry I didn't see that he had EB1. Yeah, I was referring to a different category.

This is just...ridiculous.
NVC Stage: Do I need to submit proof of domicile status?
in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
Posted
From what I understand, a DL is enough of a domicile proof if your current livelihood is in the states. If you are sponsoring your spouse and you both reside outside the country, a DL may not be enough.
