LC2016

Whoohoo after waiting on the phone for 42 mins with the NVC, I finally got told that they have received it on March 20th, and to please allow 20 to 30 business days for a case number :)

Sayling if you would please update your spreadsheet.

And good luck with your move!!

My cover letter just said what I was petitioning for and a list of documents that were being included in the package, such as our BCs, marriage license, passport style photos of both of us etc......I think that you file at the Phoenix Lockbox

Hope this helps and Good luck!!

Thanks God approved I can´t believe we sent our RFE on tuesday and today APPROVED I`m so happy!!!!

Felicidades!!!

My husband is from Colombia and what they do there is he had to go to the "police station" and pay a fee to get them to email him a link where he can get copy of his criminal record (which he doesn't have any). He was able to forward me the original email and on it it says original document and its in English, Spanish and French. They may have something similiar in your home countrys? Its worth a shot right

I know for me (USC) they wanted a single status letter (apostilled from my residing state), a copy of my passport, and my original birth certificate (from my birth state apostilled which they kept). all translated and actually my husband got it all translated in his home town (Pereira) with a certified translator.

Hope this helps

1) called NVC and find out instead of waiting for email.

2) 8 weeks is their normal answer.. NVC will have your case withing 2 weeks after Noa2.

So keep calling them.

Thanks Deep! I've been calling since a week after I got the NOA2 hardcopy. I actually asked the guy (whom was very nice) if it actually took that long to get it into their system and he said sometimes it takes alot less I recommend calling often. Just thought I'd share that

Also after I get the case number is that when I can start logging into their system and do the appointment of agent?

To All my Approved August fillers,,

Please give me your NVC received date and NVC case# assign date If you get already..

I want to update the sheet.

Thanks

Good luck to all again.

ha I just called NVC and was told that it takes 8 weeks for them get the case in their system

I know I got transferred around the 18th of Feb and approved on Mar 6 from TSC. It actually had said April to May don't really remember the dates though.

Ok 30 mins on hold at the NVC just to be told that it take 8 weeks for the case to be uploaded into their system Guess we're looking at May??

Added! Just to confirm, your I-130 was approved from Texas? Or was it transferred at some point?

Hey Saylin I just noticed on the spreadsheet it said I was approved from NBC, I was transferred to TSC and approved from there

Hi! You may want to take another look at the second post in this thread. It explains everything you need and for what purpose. Basically, at NVC there are two major steps that need to happen: 1) the petitioner will submit an Affidavit of Support (AOS), demonstrating financial support of the beneficiary (I-864 is the AOS); and 2) the beneficiary applies for an Immigrant Visa (IV) (DS260 is the application). So, each one of these steps have a processing fee. These two fees will only be available after your case enters NVC's system and case numbers are assigned and after you file the DS-261 online (if you don't have a lawyer).

Thanks Gee&Cee for your help! I had read and reread it but still couldn't understand it......lol don't ask why it just didn't make sense to me.

PS. Is it still availble because my first page on the forum shows for Feb 2014?? I even tried clicking on the links on Saylin's post and nothing comes up..

Ok guys.... so I've been trying to get all the things that we might need for the NVC and so far here's what we have : I-864EZ (since I am the only sponsor), tax transcript, photos of us, emails, phone logs originals and copies of marriage license and both my BC and his BC translated.....now my question is the DS 260 is what we get to pay online for the NVC when they get our case right? Also what is the IV bill slightly confused on this one?

For me it took 6 business days for my case to be arrived at NVC

Is it normal to get a text (got 2) saying it was being shipped to the NVC? just curious....

So I just got off the phone with the NVC after waiting a week since my NOA2 date to call and see if they have my case. They said they don't have it and that it takes 8 weeks to receive it. . Has anyone else seen this to be the case and had to wait 8 weeks? What has the average time been lately until NVC receives the case? I'm flabbergasted and thought it would only take a week or two, at the most.

Yep I just off the phone with a very nice lady also, and she told me that its taking 6-8 weeks. Course its only been a week for us.....

I didn't receive mail or email, I called them a couple weeks after my NOA2 to see if and when they received it.

Thank you for all your help Xprecious!

I call from cell phone all the time. Busy signal is typical, just hang up and dial again, and doing that til you get through. took me 20 times at 1030 last night before I got through

Thanks! I was starting to freak out Also will the NVC contact me via mail or email to say that they have received our case from the service center?

Ok so just for the heck of it I just tried calling the NVC....however I keep getting a busy signal. Does it have to be a land line that I call from or can I call from my cell phone ( I cancelled our landline)??

Guys I'm really down I can't take this I need an approval

Don't worry Festa you will get your approval soon! You have to keep praying and keep your faith strong. Prayers sent your way as well as to everyone who hasn't gotten an approval.

Thanks God!

Approved, CSC.

Post Decision Activity

On March 10, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

Dia007!!! Congrats!!! I know you are over the moon!!

Don't forget, they're open until midnight EST, so unless you work that late too, you can call after you're done work

Thanks! I was just wondering that also. I just figured since USCIS closed at 6pm CST they all did

Yes, the beneficiary can call. I was the only one that called during the NVC process

That's great to know! I work full time also and used to have to call during my 30 minute lunch break during the day and would have to hang up because there were long waiting times. Now he too can make some phone calls. :)

There are 3 requirements on the I-864EZ. If you meet them, you can use that.

As for the household count, for someone who is sponsoring their spouse and no other people in their household it should look like this:

yes, they will email you back. It takes about 2-3 weeks though which is why you send the email as soon as you have the case number. Don't send anything until after you get the email back or else you risk slowing your file down.

Thanks NLR! This really helped alot

Added. And I would wait at least a week before calling. Please read my calling suggestions in post 2.

For the spouse line, it'd be 0 as they'd already be accounted for and you're not supposed to count anybody twice.

Thanks!

Hey Saylin could you add me to your spreadsheet also please....... how soon is it TOO soon to start calling the NVC about our case.....I mean since we just got approved on 03/06?

Also slightly confused on the I-864 and I-864EZ form (looked at both) it says your household size yourself and the person your sponsoring and there's a 2 on part A and on part B it says your spouse since I'm sponsoring my husband would/shoyld I but a 1 there or skip it since the person I'm sponsoring IS my husband??

I know right guys party in my place upon our spouses arrival hahahaj

Night vj

We're going to hold to that invitation too!! lol....
