NVC shortcuts

[endless 0]

My wife has been calling NVC every tuesday to find out when I-864 had been generated, well, the automated message didn't say anything about it, neither did the operator. Result, my wife received the I-864 package in the mail today and we didn't know it was coming, she could have sent it last week already... my question is, are the messages changing? What's happening at NVC?

Now we hope to receive the IV bill really soon!

The recorded messages that I listened to never said they had sent out the I-864 - they only said 'we sent out the IV fee bill on blah blah blah.

James's shortcuts mention this - I don't know that that has changed?

I-864

Once the NVC system shows that it has received your Affidavit of Support fee, it will generate the Affidavit of Support/I-864 itself. (This may take anywhere from up to a month after you send the fee in.) Note, however, that neither the processing of the Affidavit of Support fee nor the generation of the I-864 is reflected on the IVR -- you actually have to ask an operator.

exactly, the operator tuesday said they were still processing the AOS fee and the DS-3032... that's why it was unexpected. So my wife should receive the IV bill any day now...

Ok, I read through JSC again, and "processing AOS fee" means exactly generating I-864... I swear I had been reading that over and over....

"I-864

Once the NVC system shows that it has received your AOS fee, it will generate the AOS/I-864 itself. (This may take anywhere from up to a month after you send the fee in.) Note, however, that neither the processing of the AOS fee nor the generation of the I-864 is reflected on the IVR -- you actually have to ask an operator. (An operator can be reached by pressing 1 and then 5 after dialing NVC.) The I-864 is almost always generated the Monday after the AOS fee has been processed. So if it is, for example, a Wednesday, and the operator tells you that your AOS fee was processed that same day, you know that your I-864 will almost assuredly be generated on the following Monday. Check that Monday to make sure that it has in fact been generated (again, talking to an operator), and then go ahead and send in the I-864 package you have already prepared. "

my bad... I just lost a couple of weeks for nothing... if no RFE come up, it's not actually too bad!

Don't worry. Using James' shortcuts for the I-864 don't speed up the process. The important thing is pay the IV bill and send the DS-230 back to the NVC ASAP.

What about the envelope provided for the I-864, did you guys used it or another one, my wife was telling me that it will be hard to put everything in there? Is it mandatory? Any experience about it?

I will be submitting my I-864 this week and will be sending it via USPS Priority Mail, it should fit in the envelope. If you are sending it regular mail, I suggest place your file on a manila folder and then avail a brown envelope to fit all your documents together.

I used their envelope for the I-864, it's just a white large envelope with their address printed on it - a legal paper size envelope.
