Good call, learned from us doing EP As a Canadian you have a choice and you don't need to let NVC know. Good luck to you!

Thank you, and thank you Saylin for answering my stupid question about the zero's. :-)

How strict are they on beneficiary photos required for IV package? It says 2 by 2...If i cut it 2 by 2 it wont be proportionate....Does it matter?

Any thoughts?

Yes it matters.

These photos are the ones that are used for the visa and green card. Make sure they're correct even if you have to do it yourself with the tool on the NVC website or https://www.epassportphoto.com/

Hi Saylin! May I make a suggestion?

I was thinking (since it happened to several users and many people have asked about this), what if you add to the wiki that when the AOS fee changes to N/A, it probably means that the case was completed, since users have confirmed a CC soon after the change?

And remind that everyone's affidavit of support and civil documents appear as N/A since the beginning

Or maybe add it to post 1 if you don't want to change the wiki

I was actually thinking about adding that to the wiki since it seems to happen to most people here

Just checking in!

We sent off the AOS packet on 7th May (IV packet had already been approved and we received the false checklist for that.) We called up today, and we are still "under review". I know there probably isn't, but is there anything we can/should be doing to speed this up? It's been 39 business days (not including public holidays.)

So close it is killing me!!!

Fingers crossed!

you should've had CC around June 7th!! when was the AOS packet scanned? Maybe you can talk to a supervisor and see whats up? You are almost closing in on 2 months from when you sent your last documents.
