CSC to TSC to NVC: the Saga continues

You mean for the IV package? I sent in: bar-coded coversheet from the payment portal, cover letter, two passport pictures (with my full name, date of birth, and case number on back), photocopy of my passport's bio-data page, marriage certificate, my birth certificate, and police certificate.

The birth certificate of the US petitioner is not needed at the NVC step.

Oh, I did not know about the birth certificate, thanks for the useful info!!!

And, of course, it should be the original of the birth certificate, right?

Yup, beneficiary's birth certificate is required. It has to either be the original or certified copy. I don't have my original, so I sent in a certified copy and it was accepted.

Nope, not yet, lol. Just got a CC today. It'll be about 2 months away.

CC - case complete?

2 months?! I thought it's a month, are you sure? I'm pretty sure it's a month.

Yup, CC = case complete.

It varies for each consulate/embassy. For Montreal, the time between CC and interview is currently 2 months. It used to actually be 5 months. But they're slowly getting rid of their backlog.

Oh my god, 5 months!! Well, I'm glad it's getting better. In Ukraine it's a month, as far as I know, I guess fewer people come from Ukraine to the US comparing to Canada...

Yeah, just back in January it dropped from a 5 month wait to 2 months. This is due to the new online forms Canadian beneficiaries are required to do. This is getting rid of the mail backlog. I'm hoping it still continues to drop! And I'm sure because of the many people getting visas from Canada caused such a long wait compared to other countries, such as yours.

Hey Saylin ,

Just realised you got CC today. Nice ...

Congrats Buddy !!!

Babaa

Thanks!

Received an email from NVC - contains the attached pdf file with 5 pages. In short - it has AOS and IV instruction to make payment. Now also able to login to the NVC site to make payment. Can I select both AOS and IV and make both of these payments at the same time? Using a lawyer for processing the I-130, so nothing mentioned about the Choice of Agent. Email addressed to a lawyer, but copied both to petitioner and beneficiary. I agreed with the lawyer, that I will make payments myself. Any suggestions before doing so?

I know that by having a lawyer, there is no DS-3032 because the lawyer is automatically designated as the agent and because of that both bills are generated at the same time. The only thing I don't know is if you could pay them. I thought your lawyer has to because he's the agent. I'd call up an operator asap and ask about this.

Saylin, I'm looking at your NVC timeline. What is this DS-261?
