Thx Gazaslimaz but I don't see the attachment.

I see an option to print document cover sheet and when I print it. It has the applicant which is me, the petitioner name, payment says in progress, who payed it, transaction number. Is that the barcode?

[Ingrid28 69]

I found the barcode cover sheet, is it your NVC case number?

[BernieRich 5]

Yes - the AAAnnnnnnnnnn number on the barcode cover sheet is your case #

print that out and place it as the first item in your AOS package

good luck

(after 28 days of waiting for the iV to be invoiced I had a checklist yesterday saying that my DS-261 (choice of agent) was not completed.

That was done weeks ago- so I rang NVC and the operator was very friendly and helpful - she has ordered a supervisor review as she agreed that

the case should be invoiced - and she told me it will be by the end of this coming week - at last!!!

Patience is not just a girl's name )

This might explain some of the delay issues affecting NVC:

Is this a general movement - is anyone else now moving along?

not me still waiting on IV fees to be invoiced. DS-261 was submitted June 9th.

Please check out the letter I just shared on the forum about wait times. Lets get something moving here folks, this backlog is killing us.

Got the 60 days for review email this morning, so I have to wait until October before they review the AOS package! OMG

I received the 60 Day letter yesterday as well. I was under the impression that everyone with an open case at NVC was getting these. I thought the general consensus was these letters were not case specific and were generally issued to provide notice of greater process times. Accordingly it is possible we could get processed sooner. I do not believe the letters themselves change anything. I think they are just telling us what we already knew...that wait times were going through the roof and the NVC is swamped. I think the letters are CYA to prevent phone calls, service requests, and a flood of congressional inquiries.

That all said, I must admit this process is more grueling and stressful than I could have imagined. It seems at every step there is a "delay" of some sort. I have never been as disappointed in my government as I am today. I do not understand how tax paying citizens, who pay additional fees for the process, are not put to the front of the line. DACA backed things up 2 years ago and the system never fully recovered. Now comes the renewals forcing USCIS "dump" another avalanche into the pipeline. Simply ridiculous.

see this link for some information on the DACA stats - it looks like there are almost almost 500,000 renewals per month....little wonder the process is swamped....

Let me correct that immediately - it should read 50,000 NOT 500,000!!!!!

It looks as if we are being pushed to the back of the queue behind the illegal immigrant apps so what price being a law-abiding tax-paying citizen?

60 days for each and every section is spaghettification of the process......

[Cathymac 60]

Spaghettification? Love it. Nicking it. At least it's calendar and not business days.
