Can we start a new NVC thread ???

[LotofPatience 65]

Yes you can...it looks just like the AOS cover sheet....as soon as the online payment says Paid you can print it out...I'll see if i can attach mine to show you...

Jgay80, thanks for that sample IV barcode coversheet ! If you post it, it would be helpful to see others too. Nobody can beat the speed of online payments and online barcode printing now-a-days. This facility will be benefited to all who starts their NVC process from April 2008

If you can get the Invoice ID number this is great, but I been trying for the last 3 days to get that number and no one at NVC is willing to give it to me But I am not going to give up, I would love to pay the other fee online, we will see.

Also I think I will need to wait for the AOS bill in the mail because I am confused what it will have CR1 or IR1 we will be married 2 years in 13 days

what time did you call to get the IIN ??

Call late at night...the night shift people are nicer....and just say "I am calling to get my Invoice Identification Number for my records"...don't let them know that your are using it so you can pay online...When i called I just gave them the info they ask for in the beginning and said Hi I'm calling to just get my Invoice Identification Number...that was it...the guy didn't ask me why or nothing and he gave it to me...if they ask you why just tell them its just for your records only....let me know what happens...

Exactly, Jgay80 is perfect

Don't rely on other posts whether online system is not reliable, or IIN will not be provided.

Nita, meanwhile you can shoot an email to get the same to NVC. Also, try by phone too every day. Once the fee is paid, online will print barcode sheet and you'll come to know if it IR1/CR1.

GREAT! Thanks!! But you think I should wait to send the AOS fee, I have a cashier check already, but I am not sure what to put on the cover sheet CR1 or IR1.... I guess I have no choice but to wait huh

I will try to call tonight again! Thanks you two!!

Hey lotofpatience how did you get your IIN number??? Before you even got your bill Generated?

Did you try calling or did you send an email?

Thanks

I called a live operator after case# assign and got IIN. This is the only time I could get an operator.

Hey guys, I'm really K-3 but just to be safe (in case they only approve I-130), I'm already studying up on this NVC paperwork stuff. The shortcuts are still a bit gibberish but I already have the following questions, and maybe this can help others as well:

- choice of agent form: are you all choosing the US Citizen to act as agent? I'm assuming that would be the easiest and fastest way, cuz NVC wouldn't have to mail documents abroad and back again?

- choice of agent: when i (am the "alien spouse") send back the form to NVC, can I overnight it (like with Fedex or UPS), or doesn't that NVC address accept such mail? (I dunno if it's a PO box or not)

- AOS package: is that just form I-864 (with possible annexes)?

- when we send DS230 to NVC, do we have to add all the documents (like birth certificate, marriage certificate etc) or do we just have to take this to Embassy? And does birth certificate only mean one for the alien spouse or also for the US Citizen?

Lots of questions, but i'm so happy to see you guys are moving so fast!! Loto your case seems to be flying.

Big hug,

Cat

Catt, here are my answers in bold.

I am the petitioner and the agent That's the fastest way

- choice of agent: when i (am the "alien spouse") send back the form to NVC, can I overnight it (like with Fedex or UPS), or doesn't that NVC address accept such mail? (I dunno if it's a PO box or not)

It is not P.OBox. You can email DS-3032 to NVC or sign the form and give it to the petitioner well ahead

- AOS package: is that just form I-864 (with possible annexes)?

No it has additional docs. Check this link: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Jame%27s_Shortcut

- when we send DS230 to NVC, do we have to add all the documents (like birth certificate, marriage certificate etc) or do we just have to take this to Embassy? And does birth certificate only mean one for the alien spouse or also for the US Citizen?

Now NVC changed the procedure. They need all originals and they will forward them to Consulate. All forms start with "DS" is from Dept. of State and start with "I" are from USCIS. DS forms are for applicants, in this case the beneficiary or the intending immigrant

Lots of questions, but i'm so happy to see you guys are moving so fast!! Loto your case seems to be flying.

Big hug,

Cat

Hope this helps out!

Hey lotofpatience, I see you also mailed in your DS-3032 form was that just to be on the safe side or did your email one get rejected??

I also have my hubby's form signed by him but he send them an email yesterday, would you suggest that I send that as well just to be on the safe side or should I wait to see what happens?
