Thanks Loto! I have been working with your paperwork to get through the NVC process. :thumbs: So far, the only thing giving us a problem is the DS-3032. We emailed them 5/17/2008 and still haven't received an answer.... OTher than that, my I-864 packet will go out tomorrow (on my b.day!!!) via express mail with the usps. :D

Thanks again

Przy

Good luck Przy ! Happy birthday to you :star::star::star:

You don't have any issues with email process, but, did you follow the template posted in VJ under James Shortcut page ? Optionally, you can mail a hard copy of DS-3032 signed by the beneficiary. This is optional just in case. Check online payment system everyday to see IV fee bill is invoiced. That will confirm the acceptance of agent designation. Good luck przy :thumbs:

That's great Przy !!! Please ignore my other post. I didn't see your this post when I typed the other one. Great news and many many happy returns on your special day :star:

AOS can be priority mail rather than express mail and save some money for IV fee of $400 :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I am still on vacation Hyd. Will be back on June 1st. Our case has not been closed yet as of yesterday, of course that was a holiday.

Yes, I saw your timeline and you're done from your side. Now 1 to 2 weeks wait to complete the case, that's all :star::star::star:

Vacation is just wonderful, great time with my "lackofpatience", had fun in Darjeeling for 5 days, having lot of tasty food and gaining weight, Darjeeling had 10C (50-60F), but here it is horrible weather - heat is over 100F :devil:

Hey guys - I've just sent off my DS-230 packet today -- going full speed ahead with the CR-1 for now!!!

My IV Bill status went to "PAID" today and I printed out the barcode cover letter and, luckily, got my wife's papers today also ... So off the packet went - Express Mail via USPS - expected in NH tomorrow by noon!

Last time my I-129F was touched was 5/26 ... so God only knows if that's about to get approved soon ... NVC representative wasn't helpful with what I "should" do ... but she gave me a number for a Visa Office in Washington, D.C. that I have to try to call soon ...

Good luck to everyone!

Well my friends .... my case has definately left Vermont 'at last' and hopefully winging it's way to NVC.

I cannot believe I am now allowed to come and join you .... Loto and Hyd, you're nearly finished already .... it's nice to know this part can go sooo fast.

Loto, I've got some dues to pay .... where do I sign??? :lol:

I've got a question??

Can I put me .... the little English spouse .... as the agent ??

Reason being, Kip's off to see his sick Aunt and then got a ton of Army stuff on and then he's on a flight to me in July.

Basically, he won't be around much in June to do this NVC stuff .... his AOS stuff should be winging its way to me anyway for the interview, so I can just fedex that back to the US when the time comes for it at NVC

Will I be able to use his bank debit card, to pay for the stuff online ? ... I'm not on his account yet and didn't want to confuse them by using an English account or run up any more foreign charges.

Hopefully that doesn't sound too complicated.

Can't wait to get my case number .... it's still not in the system yet, hopefully Friday :thumbs:

Do you know, I haven't even celebrated yet ..... so I'll do a dance now :dance::dance::dance:

Sarah, welcome to NVC club :dance::dance::dance: I am eager to see you there :star: Dues must be paid to me, DOS will accept only AOS and IV fee bills :star::star::star:

Yes Sarah, you can be the agent if Kip is busy. You will lose only 2 to 3 extra days in NVC process, which is the international express mail process for DS-230. That's all. AOS package mail delay will not be an issue since that is a parallel process with DS-3032. Also, use your hubby's U.S bank checking/savings account to pay online. You need his bank routing number and account number, that's all.

I am out of NVC process now :star:

Congrats Rajee for your fast NVC process :dance: You should be done your NVC process in the next 2 weeks time. I am out of NVC now.

Don't worry about I-129F. Mine is still "Case Received and Pending", had 2 touches after 2 weeks of I-130 approval.

LOTO congrats on ur case complete!!! your out....

how exciting!! and thanks for the info on vaccinations..

SARA nice to see ur joining NVC.. its going by real fast... u shold be done within 4-6 weeks...

YA !! canu believe that.. im right behind loto!!

have fun guys and good luck!!!

Thanks Hyd! Yes, I am out :star: Sarah has replaced me in NVC :star:

Yes hyd, you should be done in a week :dance: Soooooooooo, aggressive estimate is again 4 to 6 weeks in NVC. I have seen few folks who have completed within this timeframe. Mine is 41 days, which is 1 day less than 6 weeks. I haven't delayed anything except emailing DS-3032. I should have done couple of days earlier when AOS bill was generated. I just waited for AVR and it has always a lag of 1 or 2 days.

I am still in India and will be coming back to the U.S on June 1st.

Thank you guys for congratulating me ... it's just beginning to sink in now that being with Kip at last is just around the corner :dancing::dancing:

My police certificates arrived today, which was the last thing I was waiting on ... my DS-230 is finally ready.

Kip sends out his I-864 package later today, and should be with me within in a week.

Wow Loto, Hyd and Rajee .... I can't believe NVC has flown so fast for you .... it wasn't that long ago we were all making jokes about VSC. But here I am, about a month behind you guys .... thank goodness.

Arequipa4us, yes, I agree ... Loto has done us the greatest of services for the NVC flowchart .... I have it stuck to my wall for easy reference .... along with all my 'to do' lists :lol:

Thankyou Loto for the information on how I'm going to pay for it all .... I was a little worried about it as Kip won't be available. You have eased my mind considerably .... thank you :luv:

Just waitng for that NVC case number and I'm on my way :yes:
