I see more people on here talking about getting checklists for items that are already in the package or for items that should be accepted but aren’t for some random reason. It seems rather convenient

I'm not sure if this is 100% reliable, but I called NVC and requested a supervisor regarding our DS-230 that is in day 17/20 and the DS-260 fiasco. She stated that as long as the DS-230 has no errors

For those confused about the new online forms process, let me break some stuff down and hopefully it clears stuff up. First off, the new online forms are just that, online forms. The DS-261 and DS-26

Hello saylin hope to enlighten me is this approved visa. I was put in aministrative processing due for updated nbi now this in my CEAC status Issued. hope to hear from you The message from Ceac your visa been printed, depending on local procedure where you were interviewed your visa will be availabled and pick up soon if there are further question or if we need updated contact information you will be contacted. Hello this whay in My CEac status just is this already approved thank you

You sent the requested documents already? If so, this sounds like they processed it and, as the status says, printed the visa. You should be receiving it any day now then.

Per NVC, you are supposed to send the package when the status shows "Paid". I would print the receipt when it shows "Paid" and include that in the package.

It doesn't matter if you print the bar-coded cover sheet as soon as you pay it or once it says "PAID". It stays the same. The question most people have is when to send the package.

when you look (really hard) at the ceac status thingie,

there's a 'last updated ' date.

That's the date it was printed.

IMO, it should go out the door, and be in your hands, within 10 days from 'that date' listed in CEAC.

Have another look, do some calendar math, and tell us whats what?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

No idea. You'll have to call up a NVC operator and ask. Do this 5 times (so you can take the majority answer in case they differ). Report back!

I called today, after 30 minutes i talked them, and operator said that my wife don't have to put her income in item 6.c.

I don't want to be in hold for another 30 minutes, i want ask members here who recently filled out i-864 and got accepted, if they put their income in item 6.c. as instructions say, or they left it blank?

My AOS was accepted yesterday or today (or maybe really late on Friday - they couldn't tell me when it was accepted). That's between 14 and 16 business days since they received it. Here's hoping that they review our DS-260 and IV Package - and everyone else's documents - in that time frame! Fingers crossed for all of us!
