Ok, NVC received our case and had case # assigned on May 5th. I called today to see if they have an invoice identification # for us, and he said no, they didnt generate the bills yet. We have a lawyer, so there will be NO DS3032, just goes straight to the AOS and IV bills I believe? I noticed most other users received their bills in like 5-6 days, is there anything I can be doing to speed it up? I can't use any shortcuts cuz my lawyer advise against it (not that I agree with him). HELP??

uhmmm.. don't know... did you give NVC your email?

We're still waiting for ours, got our NVC case number on May 11th.

I think you'll still get the DS3032 and assign your lawyer as your agent.

good luck!

They will not give you the IIN on the phone... It will send to you by snail mail or email... Call NVC and give them your email add. and your wife. Makes the process easier and faster. Shortcut is the way to go.. You should start gathering the other documents now and have everything ready before the next step..or else it will just slow you down . Follow the Lingche shortcut..Don't really need a lawyer,, easy to follow...Good luck and safe journey....

Your journey will be delayed because you are using a lawyer, everything will have to go through him/her. You would have been much faster if you had done things yourself.

Hope you dont have to wait too long.

TayRivers, I see from your signature that you got an RFE for the petitioner's birth certificate. Did you have special circumstances that required that or do they want birth certificates from both of us now?

My I-130's are for my parents. If you are applying for a Parent or a sibbling you have to include the petitioners birth certificate and marriage certificates with the DS-230.
