Rajaa,

Ok, Just ignore the K3. Look at Lottos shortcuts for th eCR1. When it gets to the NVC, you can call the NVC to get the NVC case number. Also you can get the IIN number by talking to the operator, but I would suggest that you call at night, they seem to be more friendly and willing to give you the number.

Coolll thanks VJ buddy :thumbs:

Rajaa, this is very important...please make sure you read the below:

Rajaa yaey! All's well that ends well, isn't it! So happy for you!

CR-1 Timeline:

USCIS:

04-30-2008: I-130 Sent

05-08-2008: Received at California Service Center

05-10-2008: NOA 1

05-10-2008: Hard Copy

05-12-2008: Check cashed

07-22-2008: NOA 2

NVC:

10-27-2008: NVC sends an RFE requiring about my J-1 visa two year home country residency requirement. 3 days before the requirement (that never applied to me in the first place) would have become void.

11-7-2008:APPROVED

11-28-2008: Case fowarded to embassy after we get "a little help from our friends"...Interview scheduled for Monday 5th of January

12-30-2008: Interview cancelled by phone. A rude consular officer says "we have our reasons and will call you on monday."

01-05-2009: They don't call, so I call them and re-schedule for 01-07-2008.

01-07-2009: Interview. They don't say we're approved. They don't say that we're not approved. In fact they hardly say anything. No request for more documents or weird questions. They don't want to see any evidence. Just weird. They take my passport though, so most likely we are approved. Or else they just wanted my passport.

01-29-2009: The lovely consular officer tells me I can pick up my visa whenever I like!

01-30-2009: Visa in hand!

ok... so I got through NVC they haven't recieved our case yet.. I figured it out with the automated system lol... little slow but I learned hehe

Rajaa, dear.. NVC is a little slow sometimes with receiving stuff from USCIS.. ask LuLu! :wacko: but just keep calling.. as soon as they got it, call at night, maybe 1030 EST, 0730 PST, and ask for the IIN. just tell them you need it for your records.. as soon as that happens, sign in to the online payment and pay the AOS. if you have the hard copy of the DS-3032 ready, go ahead and mail it. you don't really have to express mail it.. i don't see the point. it will be a while for the bank to clear the AOS fee anyways. i suggest snail mail simply because it took my email 13 days to be received by NVC. had no choice really. didn't have the signed ds-3032 ready. i was about to mail it the other day, but when i called NVC again, they already received the choice of agent.

just paid my IV fee bill online. gonna wait a couple of days for that to clear then i'm gonna send the DS-230. i'm having a great time here with my hubby. we came back to where he proposed to me 1 year 5 months ago. :wub: will send in the paperworks once we get back monday..

you have all the docs ready?
