I got a second RFE today. Submission was on the 6th Jan (10+ UMT).

The first RFE was for 'please handwrite date on page 8' this RFE is 'you do not meet income requirements' despite obviously earning more than the income requirements with 3 months of W2  and 3 years of tax returns.  

Perhaps the NVC can read my forum posts where I admonish their incompetence and are now punishing me. I'll try and draft a letter to my senator and hope they will step in to advocate on our behalf.

This is ridiculous...they need to train folks better. Did they increase the income requirements without tell us?

Hello everyone,

I submitted everything on dec. 26 and received RFE on Jan 20. (birth certificate issue replaced/submitted Jan. 21)

Thanks 

Submission 12/26. Just got RFE this morning for birth certificate resubmit....😭😭😭. It's going to take a few days before resubmitting it, but at least it's going fast and everything things else got approved. Good luck everyone.

Haha I'll try... Yes, I think the tax thing is the problem. I'll let everybody know what's up as it unfolds.

By the way, should any of you get an RFE (I hope you don't), just so you know, there is a bug that appears when you try to figure out what doc was not accepted from the petitioner. It says "incomplete" when it should say "invalid doc." When you click on "incomplete" it will bring you to an error page. Apparently this is "normal" and it takes anywhere from days to usually a couple of weeks for the link to update. In this time, even if you know what your specific issue is and you try to upload additional evidence, you won't be able to. I didn't know this when I found out and it caused me confusion because all I had was that very generic message I posted earlier and no specifics.

@Ochanosono, take a look above. Shytown provided helpful notes regarding this above.

That's is very frustrating 😞. Maybe the scan document is not showing all 4 corners? Or missing the back face? Maybe they want it in color. 

I didn't find anything regarding the order of pages. I made sure to start with the English translation first just so they don't have to flip sheets to another alien language....I hope that's right.

I would give it another shot and email them to remain them that you fix it (basically reupload 😅)

The tax might be a greater concern. Maybe try to add more check stubs, I think they asked for 6 months in the form instruction.

Great question. From what I read, the some NVC folks are very robotic and not experienced. Sometimes they ask for something that is already submitted 😔

My plan is to send my wife a copy of my W2 and *tax return (*if our interview date is after 2022 tax deadline) during the interview. I might even upload them to NVC CEAC site after we receive an interview date to avoid restarting the NVC review process.

Oh I hear some folks received directions from USA embassy during their interview to upload missing items to the CEAC site...my goal is to avoid this step 😂😂. 

Hello all,

I looked at Nov. submission topic, and they created a table that is very cool so I duplicated it for us. Please feel free to edit/correct and repost if needed. I used what shown in here https://visawhen.com/nvc , using 12/26/2022 update.

Good luck everyone and happy new year

Seems like the wait time is going down. Visa When says 38 days now. Let's hope so.

 

This week my spouse completed his medical and they sent it to the Frankfurt embassy already. So unless there are RFE's there's nothing in between us now and his interview! 

 

Happy holidays everyone, looking forward to some positive news in the next few weeks!

Thank you so much for sharing this link. Very helpful. I submitted everything in Dec 25, 2022, I hope we all get an approval soon . 

I'm not expert in anyway, but I did some research about the medical exam; it seems that the visa expiration date start ticking when you start the medical exam. 

I'm not sure if you're aware of this for your post approval plans:

Thanks,
