aww that's cute. your husband is actually pitching in the work. im one of the few that has to do 99% of the immigration stuff. my hubby gets overwhelmed easily and starts getting pissy so i have to take the work away before he loses it.

Same here, I have to do all the dirty work

atleast what i can

taxes where his

Serendipity

you can make your own coversheets do

and have those ready, those don't need barcode and list what you put in the package

AND PS DOUBLE TRIPPLE CHECK WITH OPERATORS THAT IV WAS GENERATED BEFORE YOU PAY IT ONLINE

since 1 told me and she was wrong and now I am stuck!!!!!

Georgina - what happened? Did you send the package while the bill hasn't been generated yet?

I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how -- completely and forever......

Aruba is right, you can create the cover letter which you will put on top of your package which lists out everything that is included in the package. But you don't need to create the barcoded coversheets that need to be included as part of the package, because those can be printed out online.

No need to worry about the barcode generation at this point. :thumbs:

karma stars are way too cute! thanks for the warm welcome! :star:

I was reading that the average number of days from the NVC receiving the package to the interview is 15 days for a K-3 in Costa Rica

I have a pit in my stomach... There is so much I need to do. The attorney is taking care of all the paperwork so I don't need to worry about any of that...

I noticed that most ppl get to their interview date usually 1-2 mons after NOA2. Fine by me as long as my husband is here by May (my birthday month) and above all I want him here for our first yr anniversary. It would be way tooooooo depressing to celebrate our anniversary on separate continents! Some ppl said they are 5 hrs, 4 hrs away by car or by plane! I wish we had that option. I would have visited every chance I got. Talk about a 14 hr flight difference b/w me and him :crying: That's why we decided to go the K3 route as well. I definitely don't want to be stuck in NVCH (H for hell) after being in VSCH for 230 days!!! :angry:

I'm just hoping to get approved period! But it really is nice to see others moving along in this grueling journey. (F) Maybe once were approved we can join as well. :star:

Welcome Petersbride and JAVC!!!

I am hoping my Case gets to NVC by Monday...so I can get on the NVC express

Welcome to all newcomers! :)

Angel, I know u will be joining us very soon. You are THIS close from getting an approval. Karma stars for you :star::star::star::star:

And Sarita, yeah this NVC stuff is giving me a headache! I just want the papers to get to the embassy already!! MAN I would LOOOOOOVE to be on that express train right now. Glad I have the lawyer taking care of my papers. Let him deal with all of this nonsense! :bonk:

Georgina - what happened? Did you send the package while the bill hasn't been generated yet?

Hi

Well aparently so

I called NVC, the operator told me it had been generated, back in february

so I went ahead and payed it

when we finally mailed the package

they tell me the bill is not paid

I insist with them it is, they check it showed paid on one page but not the other

and I finally get to speak to an supervisor she states the bill was never generated

and so I paid it too early

I tell her I been told to pay it

On march 4th i get an email requesting me to pay the bill for the first time

i called back and forth till yesterday my AVR states it has been payed on the 11th Feb

Today I got another email again requesting me to pay the bill again

As for my packages both AOS and IV package I don't know they arrived together

so here is to staying in limbo

And crying since i want to swap it to go to interview on the 31 march

and go to the states in April!!!!

what a mess.... what is the resolution and why is it taking NVCso long to fix the problem? have them credit you back and then you can pay it again.

Did the AVR say the bill was generated or just the operator?

The problem is, there is one system that tracks the payments, and another system that generates the bill. If you pay before the bill is generated, the first system will reflect paid, however the second system will not get updated, because a bill wasn't generated.

The only way to have it resolved is to have a supervisor get your records updated.

Aruba - It should get solved soon, hang in there!!!

Good Luck Aruba!!! Is it my connection, or is VJ responding really slow at the moment.

GS - I fixed my timeline :) Now it should be correct. Looks like my case hasn't left NVC yet, even though the interview letter indicates that the case has been forwarded...hrmmmmm :whistle:
