Hi

I emailed a question to NVC a week ago about the AOS bill fee and haven't received an answer yet. Now they've generated my DS 3032 and the AOS bill and I need to get an answer before I sent them any moola. Should I just forget waiting for an email and phone someone?

Call them and talk with someone. They usually reply emails. But if you emailed them about AOS fee bill before it is generated, then they may not answer it.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

Good point! I did call them the other day (see my above post) and they answered my question. However, by then my AOS fee had been generated. I'm not sure the answer I got was very accurate as the guy I spoke to seemed clueless about the AOS waiver form, but I'm going to send it in and if they don't like it I'm sure they'll let me know!

:yes:
