Hi folks, I called NVC this morning. According to the automated service, my case has been completed. I am wondering how long it will be for NVC to let me know the interview date. Thanks.

Same thing happened to me. I called USICS and explained that I am now a US citizen. They told me I didn't have to send the AR-11 but I sent it anyway.

I filed the I-130 petitions in Dec 2008.

Check out my timeline below: Dec 8 2009 - Called USCIS to upgrade I-130. Feb 24 2010 - I-130 approved. Mar 3 2010 - NVC emailed me the choice of agent and Affidavit of Support fee letters. Mar 23 2010 - NVC completed the Change of consulate I had requested. Mar 23 2010 - NVC emailed me...

yes. My petitions were approved on Feb 24 2010. I had upgraded them on Dec 8 2009.

In case the petitioner is a permanent resident, all family members can be included in one application. So you pay the AOS fee once. You still have to pay the IV fee for each family member.

I totally understand the difference between AOS and IV fees. I emailed NVC and asked them to link the two cases. Today I checked my daughter's case via the online payment center and it now shows the AOS fee as PAID. But I can't seem to print out a cover sheet. I ended up mailing the I-864w...

Hi all, I recently received notification from NVC that my daughter's petition was returned to USCIS. Has anyone been in a similar situation? I called USCIS, they know nothing about the case other than that it was approved and forwarded to NVC. Any idea what might be the problem...

you know, for a second, I thought about not wasting my time and replying to your silly answer but then I said to myself maybe I should point out how silly you are! You could have been a little more useful on this forum by providing accurate information instead of randomly accusing people of...

Hi, NVC sent me the AOS fee for my daughter but I had already paid that fee for my wife. Do I have to pay this again for my daughter? Should the two cases be linked and charged one AOS fee? Thank you.

Hi, I called USCIS on Dec 11 and had my children cases upgraded to immediate relative after I had become a US Citizen. i received an email from USCIS on Dec 16 saying that they upgraded both cases and that they currently are in active processing. It has been almost a month since then. I...

I sent NVC an email on Dec 11 requesting an upgrade for my wife's case. I attached a copy of my natz certificate to the email. I received a reply on Dec 22 stating that my email is being reviewed and that I will be notified when any appropriate action has been completed. No word yet as of Dec 25.

I don't expect my famil's IV apointment to be scheduled until February at the earliest. USCIS hasn't approved my kids's I-130's yet. So the 3-year bar will be close to expire by the time a visa appointment is scheduled. I really wish someone with a similar case could share their...

Would NVC freeze the process or the Consulate abroad?

Beirut - Lebanon.

True, I am just being cautious. Right now, I have control over it since NVC is waiting on me to send the IV application and supporting docs. I have already paid the $400 IV fee. I wonder how long it takes NVC to schedule an interview once they have received and processed the IV...

Thanks for your input. Perhaps I shouldn't rely on State Department intelligence :) and assume they are going to catch that and delay my wife's application until the 3-year bar is lifted. I probably need to be pro-active about it. I hate starting the process all over in case my wife's...

If they ever deny the application, will I have to start all over with a new I-130? Thanks,

Hi, My wife came to the US in 2005 and overstayed her I-94 more than 6 months but less than a year. She left the US voluntairly. My understanding is that she's now barred from entering the USA for 3 years from the day she left. She's now far in the IV process and her interview will...

I believe if you're a US citizen, your parents are eligible for a waiver of overstay ban. check out this article: http://www.visapro.com/Immigration-Articles/?a=173&z=64
