Yes, it should clear within a few business days (maybe longer right now due to the backlog), and then the AOS should be invoiced.

Having an attorney attached to the case will actually make your case a tiny bit faster as the IV bill will be invoiced at the same time as the AOS (since the attorney is automatically selected as agent, thus no need for the DS-261, thus shaving off about 2 weeks).

I sent an original divorce decree with my I 130 application (i know i should have sent a photocopy), and now I am being asked to send another original divorce decree to NVC. I have another original that I can send, but I am worried because I read on the Rio de Janeiro website that I will be required to bring yet another original to the interview even if already submitted....I would just get another original....but the divorce was in Spain and it is very complicated to get another one. Can I just ask NVC to look at the original document?

quote from the embassy webpage:

  • Applicants must bring all original documents to the interview, even when those documents were already sent to USCIS with the petition. There are no exceptions.

thanks!

Can some of the Indian VJ members who have submitted the IV package to NVC advise me whether it is a good idea to send the original Birth Certificate of the beneficiary to NVC? It is mighty hard to get another 'original' birth certificate from the corporation in Kolkata in case the original sent to NVC is lost.

Can we send a copy attested by a Gazetted Officer or Notary Public in India and carry the original Birth Certificate to the interview?

You can send the certified copy. Any attorney can do that.

Really? I thought 'certified copies' meant copies issued by the same issuing authority as the originals. Not a notarized copy.

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.
