I finally received my papers today from the NVC to pay the IV fee. I'm glad I paid online 10 days ago :dance:

I'm hoping I get an approval next week.... keeping my fingers crossed :blush:

Loto, i have a question about VFS offfice visit that you mentioned in your timeline.. since we submitted the original documents here, than also the applicant has to go to the VFS office with the appointment letter.. today i spoke to NVC operator..she mentioned.. NVC will review all the orginal documents for you and you will get them back at the time of your interview.. once you get your appointment letter, you just have to go for medical.. I can relate to your case, because i am from Gujarat.. and my case will be at Mumbai Consulate..

Please let me know on this.. any information.. Helpful all the time..

Bani, you need to visit VFS office to pay courier fee, that's all. Yes, you need to show the visa appointment letter to them :star:

Now it is very easy to get NVC live operator (any time of the day :star: ) when the case is forwarded to the consulate. I think now the call has high priority.

The AVR message is - "NVC has completed the processing of this case and forwarded to the embassy/consulate at Madras on June 5, 2008. Please contact the consulate for further details..." :dance::dance::dance:

OH YEAH, THANKS ALOT FOR THE UPDATED, LOTA!!! :whistle: GOOD NEWS GOOD NEWS KEEP COMING!!! YEA YEA YEA!!! HEHEHE...

i paid the both fee online, and systerm showed the fee are paid, what should i do next step??

Now you would find the button on the online payment site that says "print cover letter" (I think it's there when you try to view your receipts) and print out both cover letters for the I-864 and the IV (DS-230) Packet ... You have to include these with the forms and documents you send in :)

Good luck!

Technically, the petitioner fills out the AOS (I-864) and provides the proof required (it's in the instructions) ... The beneficiary is responsible for filling out the DS-230 - all 4 pages .. However the beneficiary ONLY SIGNS the end of Part I (page 2) ... They MUST NOT sign the end of part 2 (page 4) - this is sworn statement that must be signed in front of the consular official, to my knowledge.

has anyone that has done the online processing get this message? I go t this message when I tried to logon to the DOS site for my online payment. I think there is a problem with my case now. I would have thought my case would have been completed now.

Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time. Please click on the Contact the NVC hyperlink if you believe that you have received this message in error.
