NVC Filers - September 2014

[jsumner86 403]

mine did the same thing when my AOS fee was in process of becomeing availible. Freaked me out!!!!! I made a fourty five minute call from the Philippines only to be told there was no problem.

You made me laugh

The good news is, as you grow older you'll leave most of your phobias behind. In my case,

fear of darkness... gone,

fear of needles... gone,

fear of flying... gone (flying 50,000-70,000 miles a year took care of that),

fear of the dentist... gone (9 gum surgeries in the span of two years took care of that)

fear of my wife's short fuse... pending.

My Panel physician asked me to go to the public clinic to get the shots free of charge and bring a confirmation.

Tell my wife that you get over phobias when you get older.. I'm sure she will disagree! LOL.

Thanks,

Yes, he has been already offered the job, he is going to be paid by hour , full time plus over time, if everything works out he should start it on ~22 Sept.

Right, if you know it's going to be the same amount of hours and pay each week, it should be by the x52 (Don't hit me if I'm wrong Saylin! ). What you can do- is see if the employer will give him a letter stating what his salary is, and how many hours a week he starts etc. They should accept that at interview!

You could- in theory have a co-sponsor in mind just in case your embassy is picky. I've seen that happened before, but it's unlikely .

I don't think my fear of needles will ever go away

And wow, that's an awesome panel physician! Most would just administer the vaccines at the medical and charge up the behind to get them done.

You're right, so no hitting

To the OP: that question is asking for CURRENT annual income, so, it's not based on how much is left of the year, but rather how much they're currently earning per year. I know it may be a little tricky to understand, but just calculate how much he'll be earning per week, then multiple by 52.

You all are so helpful! I'm just reading and soaking everything in that way I can try and avoid any RFEs at NVC. VJ helped me get throught USCIS RFE free but I was held for "additional security checks". I'm looking forward to sending off my last round of documents and have my hubby join me and our son. I'm praying the baby won't be one before his father comes to live with us.

[Nordic Tim 95]

Well unless a miracle happens I'll be paying the new IV fee amount. Well hopefully they invoice it by next week

Us too, and our DS261 was July 21st. Seems like they've skipped us. Ahh well, maybe we'll get lucky today.

Welcome to the NVC thread! Few pointers- read the Wiki of course, make sure you have all relevant documents for your embassy. (Some embassies ask for more things than others!). You can find exactly what documents your embassy is looking for on the wiki, there is a link as well .

AOS package is the one that gets checklist a lot! Few common reasons!:

-People put the wrong amount for total income. Total income should be line 22, or total income (NOT ADJUSTED!) Only use adjusted if its a 1040EZ for the tax return.

-People put the wrong amount of people someone sponsors for. If it's just you and your husband, and your son, it would be 3!

-People who file the 1864EZ that left place of residence blank, instead of N/A received a checklist for that too..

-Make sure you have your tax transcripts for the last three years, or the 1040's with the w-2 and relevant 1099 (if you have any). Don't leave any out because they will checklist you for it. If you haven't filed a tax return one year because you weren't required to, write a note in the cover letter, and a sticky note saying why, and that should suffice.

My best advice is to read the 1864 instructions! Print them out, and go bit by bit. Have them side by side with a practice run for your I864, look it over a bit few times before you send it off to catch any mistakes. (This help tremendously!!!)

Other than that, Good luck and welcome to the thread once again

A quick question, if anyone can help.

I will be submitting an expedite request but NVC has yet to receive my file (checked yesterday). Do I wait to send in the request until they have the file, or do I do it now in hopes they can dig through the pile and find it? Thanks in advance.

Most likely need to wait. They will still need to wait for a case number to be assigned before they can approve it, and send it to the embassy. (From What I read from others!).

Our AOS fee has turned to N/A! Last scan date was July 22nd for an AOS checklist (the lawyer either forgot to include my 2013 tax documents or NVC lost them).

YAYYY!!! Congrats Sept buddy!! Hope you get an interview date very soon after your CC!!

Thanks. I have been through so many threads! Like much about the process, there doesn't seem to be one set way of dealing with cases!!

That will give us time to get hold of our senator!

Saylin, I was wondering if we should add more info on how to answer this question on your Wiki at "Step 7 - DS-260".

It's also one of the most FAQs. I've seen this question at least 30 times for the last 4 months.

[stackeria 280]

Congrats! I'm so happy for ya!

Your scan date is July 22nd!? Mine is July 25th! Maybe next Monday or Tuesday for me?

It's going to be a LONG weekend!

Thanks! Your turn is coming up. Maybe Tuesday?

Congratulations! I'm glad that I caught this!! Finally, over due for you both! Boonies, is there such a thing in Scotland? . Hope you get very good news when you call.. good luck!!

Thanks! I think most of Scotland is remote and rugged without any cell signal? Either way it is beautiful and I'm really enjoying the few days we have left here.

Congratulations stackeria!!! So happy for you!!

Thanks!

NVC really picked up the pace this week! Thrilled to see you're getting the CC nod. I believe (and hope) you'll score an October interview date my friend.

Thanks! I hope you're right. At this point just having and knowing our interview date will be a big improvement.

Congrats to you! Here's hoping for an October interview for you!

Thanks!

Congratulations. I wish the same.

Thanks! At least we found the site. I don't understand how anyone could go through this year long process in the dark without VJ.

YAYYY!!! Congrats Sept buddy!! Hope you get an interview date very soon after your CC!!

Thanks! The sooner the better! We were ready for that interview with all supporting documents about a year ago!

Haha, I was thinking the same thing earlier. I'll go add it now

Thank you!! I am reading everything over and over again. I have all our documents gathered. Just looking over them every other day as I read something new on here.
