Sorry - posted in the wrong forum first.

Well....its in the mail and was delivered this morning. How long does it generally take NVC to process the AOS and tell you if it is acceptable? This is the scary one for us. We have lots of assets and no income.

Another question....how did you find out if the I-864 was approved? Do they send a snail mail? I have had no luck gettting an operator at NVC lately. We signed up for e-mail at the CSC process but never did receive one.

The phone message says our DS-230 is generated and will be mailed in the next few weeks (can you imagine). How do you find out about approval there also?

Thanks,

Ed

Hi Ed,

Well approx. 8 days. They received mine on April 11th and completed review on April 19th. You should be happy that you already received the IV bill because they generated mine on April 3rd and I still haven't received it as yet. :angry: So u should go ahead and do Jame's short cut for the DS-230 so you can save some time. Good luck!!!

AOS (I864 review takes about 7 - 10 days).

If NVC has already generated the DS230, you can generate the Barcoded coversheet and mail if back to NVC. This way you will be able to save time waiting for the actual DS230 forms from NVC.

Here is a link to James' shortcuts.

Good Luck,
