Take a look to my signature, and we have since 04 March our IV invoice ready to be payed. To bad that my wife is at work until Monday and she can not make the payment. So far it was very fast process for us at NVC. They compensate the 213 days between NOA1 and NOA2 at USCIS :)

Good luck in your process. :thumbs:

Holy #######!! Almost 3 AM for me and just finished putting together all of the documentation that my wife will need at her interview on the 18th. She will have all originals plus a copy of all the originals as well as the copy's I have for myself here. I think I killed about 10 trees tonight. I'll get some sleep for a few hours and then go to the Post Office and send this Priority Overnight or whatever they call it.

We are going to Skype Saturday night my time, Sunday morning for her, and I will walk her through the paperwork that she will have to do. I am going to fill out the PDF's for her and email them so she will just basically have to sign them, except for Part 2 of the DS-230, that has to be signed in the presence of the interviewing officer.

I did not provide much evidence of "bona fide" marriage, having a child with her that will be at the interview should be sufficient enough. She also has a her Military Dependent ID Card since I'm a retired Marine. I did provide plane, train, and hotel receipts from my trip in October as well as all the Western Union receipts.

On Monday she will call the hospital in Bangkok to schedule her physical, I am having her use the same one she went to when we went through her K-1 Process, they also take my insurance, TriCare, so there should be no cost at all. Her Police certificate is ready for pick up on Monday so she will get that when she goes to Bangkok for her physical. She received her translated birth certificate a few days ago too.

It looks like we have all of our ducks in a row, she will be busy as hell the next two weeks. She has to take a 6 - 8 hr train ride to Bangkok this week then back home. The following week she will have to it again for her interview, I wished that I could be there right now to give her a hand.

The Bangkok Embassy will issue her the IR-1 two days after the interview, once she has that we'll get her flight booked. It won't be cheap since she insist on flying Thai Airways because it's an awesome airline and non-stop from Bangkok to Los Angeles, about 14 hrs.

I hope I have every in order and ready to go!!!

I really need to make time to read the VJ guides in depth :(

I received 2 emails from the NVC this morning:

The first at 1:29 AM with subject "ACL UNIVERSAL":

Dear Sir/Madam,

The attached correspondence relates to an immigrant visa referenced on the subject line. This case is being processed by the National Visa Center. Please read the information carefully and follow the instructions.

Then the second email at 1:35 AM with subject "PAOSF I-130 UNIVERSAL":

Dear Sir/Madam,

The attached correspondence relates to an immigrant visa referenced on the subject line. This case is being processed by the National Visa Center. Please read the information carefully and follow the instructions.

Their emails, in my opinion are slightly confusing. I got those same two emails back to back on the 23rd. One has the Choice of Agent form attached, and one asks you to pay the AOS. You're getting closer!

Hi everyone!

So I'm going over the VJ Guides... lots to read up on!

I have a question for you guys, not sure if anyone here might know the answer though. If not, I will call the NVC Monday and ask, but I thought I'd try here anyway :)

Here's the deal- I've been living in Miami since last summer, having moved here shortly after getting married. I wasn't sure for how many months I'd be staying at my current apartment in Miami so I've been using my parents' mailing address up north as my own up till now.

I'm about to send the DS-3032 out via email, and now I'm wondering if I should still use my parents' address from up north or use my apartment address in Miami.

Any thoughts from my more experienced friends out there?

I would recommend using your parents address if it is 1. your mailing address and 2. the address you used on your i130 app. I changed my name after USCIS and before NVC. When I called NVC about the inconsistent info they told me that it shouldn't matter as it is really two different services. So I would write yourparents mailing address on your form. Then call Monday and ask if it is necessary to send in a change of address (if it is different than the i-130) or not.

Thanks so much for your input, I was thinking along the same lines.

Yes, I have been using my parents' address up till now out of convenience, and I'm thinking of continuing to do so.

Thanks again :)

You should be fine with still using your parents address, since, if you give your email addresses over to NVC, then you won't be receiving anything in the snail mail anyways. As long as NVC has some address, they'll be happy :P
