Wow!! So much has happened while I was in China. It seems like we had 3 members getting their approval notice! I am still in a battle with my lawyer to finish up the NVC process. I totally regret hiring them because not only they SLOWED this whole process, they are also not familier with the electronic process which frustrates me even more. I wanted to send some picture to the NVC but they are forbidding me to do so as well... I totally regret hiring them.

Hi Anna,

It's 8:12am in Zhuhai now and my wife and I will be going to a hot springs today.

Anna, I really fill for you on this one. A lawyer is nice when there are difficulties in the case. I really feel the pictures I sent of my wife and I on some of our trips together (sent electronically during NVC really helped us).

Eric

Duplicate!

Well my wife recieved her PINK on January 28th in Guangzhou.

I will be doing a detailed forum write-up when I am feeling better.

My wife took me to one of the hostipals in Guangzhou because I was not feeling well. After a chest xray and blood wit showed I had a mild case of bacterial infection and that expained my drop of energy level in my body and coughing.

Anyways I'm getting better and both my wife Xing and I are happy that this part is over. We are now (Jan 30th) in Shenzhen. I current request to mother nature is for the weather to be warmer.

I will say that with electonic filing and being able to upload key photos and Evolution statements and also supportive documentation of the marriage and relationship, they didn't ask to see any of that paperwork as physical documents.

All they asked for was the required documents on document day.

Her document day had more questions related to her time in Norway as a teenager.

On her interview day a few more question about Norway but once she showed them my passport, said I visted with her counting now as 5 times, and said I was in the cafeteria waited for her the VO processed her approval quickly.

Eric

Congratulations to all of the January approvals!

Good luck joenlemy on your case.

Still waiting to hear from SHIVANI-RAJ and esd2004.

golden101 That is very good news for the two of you!!!!

My wife is having her document day on Jan 27th and Interview on Jan 28th. in Guangzhou.

So any information you can provide us is just how do I say this, , pun intended, Golden.

Eric

Why have there been no consulate reviews under China since Dec 5? I have been anxious to hear how the interviews are going since they changed to the new system on Dec 6. Has nobody been interviewed since then? or just nobody bothered to tell us about their interview? I go over the posted interview questions with my Fiancee everyday, but the posted interviews are getting old and stagnent. We need to hear about some new interviews, Please. Thanks

Hi Speedytax,

Here is another link from the same usa.bbs.net web site and give a good example of one person's account of the interview after the new process on Dec.

http://usa.bbs.net/b...09435.html?ni=1

Now I'm don't read Chinese and speak very very very little of it. My wife and I speak English so I'm grateful for you bilingual expertise.

What I did is used the google toolbar on the website and have it automatically translate the chinese into english. It comes out ok. sentence structure is interesting to read and follow sometimes. It was helpful information.

Anyways, get the googletoolbar setup on the google web site to translate this for you.

Another way is just go to this link

http://translate.goo...5.html%3Fni%3D1

This link will do the translation on the google site of the bbs link I gave you. You can put any chinese link in the google translate URL text field on the page and click Translate to do another one.

I link I gave you is for a CR-1 (I saw your profile listed as K-1). At least you get the idea hopefully on the process with the translation.

Eric

Hi guys, i got out of the embassy 2 hours ago and i've been APPROVED!!!!!! Yay!!! thanks to all you guys who helped and answered my queries. goodluck to the rest of you!!

Congratulations aurora07!!!!!! :star: :star: :star: :star:

Eric

Yay! Congrats and welcome to the group Eric!

Thank you TeyaValentina!

Have much success on the upcoming Interview on Jan 6th!!!

Eric

Hi, Eric, Congratulations! good luck for your interview. Our interview date is exactly a week ahead of you. I will be in GUZ that week, but can not stay longer because of my work. Happy new year! Zwuu

Thank you zwuu!

I saw that there were four of us on the China's Portal section here at VJ for January.

Take good care with the preparation in having everything in order for a much successful PINK! so the two of you can be together in the U.S.

I saw your postings (I think they were in the CFV web site also) regarding the tax return. Do what's best that you feel is required.

Eric

Well both my Wife and I are very happy receiving our Packet IV PDF email today. Were were able get into the January 2011 group before the Chinese New Year Holiday starts on Feb 2nd.

From the Packet IV PDF instructions:

An immigrant visa interview has been scheduled for the applicant at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate in

GUANGZHOU ELECTRONIC on January 27, 2011 at 12:30 pm.

Eric

Well,

Happy Time

My wife and I received our (STD P4 APP) email from NVCINQUIRY in the afternoon on 12/30 with our interview date in the enclosed 5 page PDF attachment.

The enclosed information pertains to XING XXXX's interest in immigrating to the United States of

America. The National Visa Center (NVC) has completed its processing of XING XXXX 's petition, case

number GZO2010XXXXXX; and forwarded it to the American Embassy/Consulate in GUANGZHOU

ELECTRONIC.

An immigrant visa interview has been scheduled for the applicant at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate in

GUANGZHOU ELECTRONIC on January 27, 2011 at 12:30 pm.

This is very good news. Now it's time to price out the flight to China and get my vacation scheduled when I go back to the office next week.

Eric

I received an email 18 Dec from NVC that documents were missing, and on 20 Dec I received another email that the documents were not missing. Today 23 Dec received an email, they need more 864 documents that I sent. I put the case number at the top right corner of each document I sent, but they still lose things. Todays email says they want a P3 Supplement, Packet 3 Suppplement sheet, what ever that is.

Hi Bob g.,

I got 2 of the same exact RFE checklist email. One that was dated on Dec 14th and was sent after my talk with and NVC operator.

the 2nd RFE check was asking for the same exact thing dated Dec 17th and I received it on Sat.

I ignored the second one becuase I included the checklist pdf with the attachements they were asking from the Dec 14th one and emailed it to NVCElectronic on Dec 17th.

The Packet 3 is a form that was talked about a few times on the forum and Darnell talked about it:

Eric

Hi, Eric:

Congradulations! I am very happy for you! Never know may be you will have interview in January!!!!

Quick question, Did you file your tax return with single/household status or you filed joint return for 2009?

I did it with single/household status because I didn't know we can file joint return despite my wife does not have social security number. They say it is a red flag not to file joint return. I can file an addendum for 2009 tax return

,however my wife has to obtain a TIN number first, This process takes longer than two weeks. I don't know what to do.

I just hope red flag is not equal to automatically white slip. I hope they can pay more attention to what I have not wI don't have. Again, Congrat! ZWUU

Hi zwuu,

Thank your for the Congrat! I to hope that my wife and I can squeak into the January Interview time period.

Regarding the taxes. I personally think you will be ok. I looked at your profile and you mentioned Dec 7th of 2009. Taking that into consideration I can see having your filling still be single being a few months from the time of the marriage.

Have you changed your witholding now on the W4 to married? I did this in Sept and then made an adjustment of the number of allowances this week.

I'm betting if you sift though all the posting on VJ you will most likely not find this one year of filing right after your marriage to be an issue.

Eric

Well this morning when I woke up I checked my email on my phone and I got this as part of the message:

Dear Sir/Madam:

All documentation necessary to complete the National Visa Center's processing of your case has been received. As soon as an interview date has been scheduled, the applicant, petitioner and attorney (if applicable) will be notified.

The applicant should NOT make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until the US Embassy or Consulate General has issued a visa.

The US Embassy or Consulate General may require additional documentation at the time of the interview.

I also went to the portal to check and I received a SIF. I am very very happy everything is moving forward in the right direction!

Eric

You'll email documents more than once so plural is correct but I'm advising you to send one file per email, so it's perfectly clear what you sent.

I understand what your saying now.

so in my case this is my second checklist email for the same information I sent already to them in the first checklist email and also prior. Both human beings at NVC, the AVR and the checklist letters said the info is missing even though the information has already been sent over the course of weeks.

so I will send them two emails.

One email for the Financial Evidence (my I864EZ documents and other documents I sent in one email) already sent on 11/19, 12/09, and on 12/14

One email for my wife's Norway Police Certificate (that was sent on 11/27 with her IV Packet, and sent on 12/13 and on 12/17.

The operators at NVC told me these documents were missing??? the AVR said these documents were missing ??? and the two checklists that I received said these were missing ???

If I have to send documents 300 times I will. Hopefully it does come to this.

Thank you,

Eric

What is financial evidence? I sent IV package on Nov 25. They reveiced and put in computer on Dec. 8. I sent AOS package on Dec14. And AVR say Im missing Financial evidence. Is that Aos package? Or something in IV package?

Hi Aidenaileen,

On my Checklist email they had the wording "Financial Evidence" and included the wording "Affidavit of Support" in the sections.

So assuming yours is the same language then they are stating the same thing as for our (my wife and I) case.

Now just to let you know I sent the AOS documents (for a electronic processing case) on 11/19, 12/09, and 12/16 becuase the AVR system, the operators and the checklist email said they were missing the Financial Evidence (AOS). So your not the only one that this has happend to.

Eric

So when NVC sends a checklist and is a combination (regular mail process and EP) in one and the correspondence instructions read:

______CORRESPONDENCE INSTRUCTIONS:_________________________________ For electronic processing, all forms and documents that we request and require from you should be scanned and e-mailed to NVC as Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. The documents should be sent as attachments with your e-mail response and not in a web file. NVC is unable to process documents submitted in web files. Forms and documents should not be mailed through the postal service.The applicant must present all original forms and documents to the Consular officer at the visa interview. Failure to present the required originals at the visa interview will result in a denial or delay in obtaining a visa for the sponsored applicant. Any questions regarding your petition should continue to be directed to NVCElectronic@state.gov _________

Are they are in error stating "The documents should be sent as attachnments" with attachments being plural?

Eric

Send a single PDF file including all documents requested, using the cover page as page one of the file. This requires a full version of Adobe to accomplish unless you're scanning multiple printed pages to a single file.

Thank you for your reply. I'm using CutePDF Professional which will be accomplishing the same thing.

Eric

Hi Everyone,

Is there any specifics to how RFE's are submitted to NVCElectronic.

My question goes to the Checklist PDF they send from NVCINQUIRY for a EP case.

In an email back to NVCElectronic does one send the coverpage PDF as a seperate attachment along with the missing documentation or embed the coversheet in each of the PDF of the missing documents PDFs or send just one PDF with everything missing along with the coversheet included in the one PDF that may have multiple documents?

Any history RFE submittion(s) from the EP filers both now and in the past would be very helpful.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eric

Hi, Eric:

Cheer up! Have you talked to anybody of NVC? I mean "real person". I would confirm with them you really got a RFE. And more specifically what need to be submitted. May be you did receive an email from them regarding this RFE. As far as they told you they have not received your resubmission, I think that might have something to do with the efficiency of their work. It is possible they are already in your case file, just they have not touched your file yet.

Or they touched but they have not complete reviewing process. Also it is possible they finished reviewing but they have not send you another Email yet. Take my interviewing date as example, most people they will receive email of

interviw date within a week after CC. But up to today I have not received anything yet. I got my interview date from

talking to the NVC operator. I guess electronic filing does have its drawback, it is difficult for people to check

the progress. Supposedly I think should be easier, but electronic filing still need real people to review those stuff

And real people make decisions and send you email. I tend to believe there are quite a few petitioners using

electronic filing to save some Visa journey time, and the NVC staff they are not too efficient for this new pilot

program. So my friend hang in there. Like you said talk to a real person may be supervisor, ask for the facts and

recommendation. Good luck! Zwuu

Thank you Zwuu for your encouragement.

I have been talking with the Operator's though out the process. In the beginning they would tell me the AOS information was missing so I would a listen and send it again. First I sent it on the 11/19. Then I sent the DS230 docs on 11/27. Later in conversations they would tell me show a date of 12/2 and not sure what that means. Then later they said the Norway Police record was missing. I sent that in one package but at least knew they were processing the DS230. So I talk with them and state it is missing. So I send it again and check with them and they have a date down and don't know what it means. then I get a Checklist letter. What's interesting is the checklist letter is coming from NVCINQUIRY and not NVCElectronic. Actually, does NVCElectronic every send emails? I know now because I have never received an email from NVCElectronic in all this time.

Any emails I have gotten were from NVCINQUIRY even though I have a GZO case number. Anyways, just this morning, 12/18 I received another Checklist letter from NVCINQUIRY for the same information I sent them already. If I sent it a 4th time it becomes crazy.

I have been talking to humans for awhile now and getting answers and doing what they are telling me to do and this is still happening. I will talk with them again on Monday and hopefully we can get to an end to all this and the processing can be completed.

What would be helpful for all of us is if they were upfront and provided more helpful information to people about the electronic process on their web site so that way they can help to calm the emotions of people going through this process. I would rather have more information. Oh Well!

Eric

Good luck at ur interview! Let us know how it goes!

My husband has a criminal in China as well. It was from when he was 19... for a fighting incident... Hopefully, its not a huge deal...

Hi diamondeve21,

I hope it all goes well for you and your husband.

All my wife's police documents show no criminal history so she is good there and everything seems to be in it's proper place of submition.

It is just strange that I would send my AOS documentation two times and get an RFE for it still being missing and then send it again???? Go Figure!

And then the same thing goes for my wife's Norway Police certificate??? This time I send the certificate along with the scanning of the envelope and her email conversation with the Norway Police to show proof? For NVC to say it's missing just baffles the mind of both my wife and myself??????

I don't know anymore. All day yesturday I lost energy about this. What can a person do at this point when documents get emailed to NVCElectronic and I receive auto replays through the course of time and these documents would show missing. Oh Well. I just trying to deal with my own internal depression about this now.

Eric

Hi, Eric,

How are things come along? I hope you are able to make some progress toward your CC. I got my CC on 12-9-10, but I have not heard a word from NVC since then. I made a phone call tonight and the operator gave me my interview date, which is 1-20-2011. And he also told me they will send Email in a few days. Another thing is about packet 4 which will be sent to us also via Email. Tonight I really had mixed feeling toward knowing our interview date, excited and a little bit nervous. I guess I read too many denial cases on the net. I hope every one of us will get a pink the first try. Good luck to all of us, I will keep you posted about our interview experience. Zwuu.

Hi Zwuu,

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would be grateful if I was having as much success that you were having.

I wife has a Norway Police document showing now criminal history but for some reason they are stating this document is missing?????

I received a email for NVC for the first time in a very long time with a cover letter PDF. So I will be sending them the Norway document again for the third time????? ####### is going on with them and also after sending my AOS package already two times they still don't have it.

What to do? It's time to talk with a supervisor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eric
