Hi all!! How are you???

We got the approval from USCIS last week,Aug 25 (YIPPEEE!!) and it was forwarded to NVC. My husband Richard alrdy called NVC and got our case number. I know my questions are dumb but i'm alrdy cross-eyed from all the reading i did re NVC procedures and i just want to clarify from your end some of the steps so we wont have anymore problems again (we got an RFE the last time). Ok, here goes:

1. Once, we have the case # and IIN, we pay the I-864 (Affidavit of Support) online for $70. Right??

2. And after a few days, the payment status will show as PAID. We will then, print out the I-864 Barcode coversheet from the site and mail the AOS Package to NVC. Question: Where will we get the AOS Package??

3. I got a copy of the DS3032 and DS230 online (downloaded). Is it the same as the one NVC generates? If it is, can i fill it up now and send it to my husband (I'll be sending it together with the required documents for the IV Package: 2 passport size photos, signed DS-230 Part I and unsigned DS-230 Part II, photocopy of passport, certified birth cert, certified marriage contract and police certificate)?? Correct?

Thanks all for the help!!!

thanks KAHM for sharing this information...i have seen many people here struggling to get their IIN number. i just want to educate myself and understand if the NVC notifies u of ur IIN number (is it written in any of their communications) or is calling them the only option??

The IIN is included in the IV Bill that you will receive in the mail. This will take too long! The best way is to speak to an NVC Operator.

thanks, KAHM. i hope i get it from the operator when i call after USCIS case completion....but this step just seems too far wish i can get my case transfered to CA

1. You can pay online, yes.

2. The AOS package is basically the 864, 864EZ, and/or 864A as well as all necessary documents depending on your situation outlined in the instructions of the three forms (864,864EZ, 864A)

3. Do search for James Shortcuts or LotofPatience guide on VJ.

Thank you sooo much Lulu!!! The guides are certainly helpful! However, i still have a few clarifications. The guide said:

Step 2 – Choice of Agent Form (DS-3032) Generation & AOS Package Review Fee Invoicing

1. NVC Generates and sends a copy of the DS-3032 (Choice of Agent form) to the petitioner.

2. NVC sends the Original DS-3032 (Choice of Agent form) to the beneficiary in the foreign country.

3. NVC Invoices AOS Package Review Fee to the petitioner online at the https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/invoice/signon.aspx

TRACK 2 - DS-3032 and DS-230

DS-3032 Emailing

Important:

1. Subject line of email must contain NVC Case #, Beneficiary Full Name and Date of Birth

2. Make the Petitioner the Agent

3. For Email format, refer to Email DS-3032 form or Attachment 3 below.

Question: Does it mean that i, the beneficiary, don't have to wait for the Original DS-3032? I can email NVC rightaway and will send them the Original DS-3032 once it gets to me????

As of now, i still haven't talk to the LIVE operator. It seems their always busy.

SHEEEEEESH!!! SO FRUSTRATED HERE!!!!

so, after i got back i went to work right away.. then around friday, 8/29, the AVR said they found info missing or incomplete and that they mailed the letter on aug 29.. WHAT THE HECK??? well of course i had to work over the weekend, then the holiday came.. then i had to work after the holiday.. :angry:

ok.. i need to calm down.. so i spoke with an operator earlier this morning, asking what the heck is wrong now. she said WE DON'T HAVE A POLICE CLEARANCE!!!!!!

OH YES WE DOOOOO!!!!!! IT'S GREEN. IT'S HALF A PAGE. IT'S CALLED AN NBI CLEARANCE IN THE PHILIPPINES. WHO THE HECK IS WORKING ON MY CASE?? HOW CAN THEY NOT KNOW THAT?? THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF FILIPINOS HAVE SENT IN PETITIONS TO NVC WITH ONLY AN NBI CLEARANCE BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME THING AS THE POLICE CLEARANCE HAD THEIR CASES COMPLETED JUST FINE.. AND NOW THIS??!!!

sad to say on my part, i just lost my cool. because that is stupidity on their part.. so the operator said she will have them review it again.. JEEEEZZZZ!!

and of course i still don't have that retarded RFE that they sent.. hello... i live in the united states... letters don't take that long to arrive here..

well that sucks...u shud go ahead and type up a letter response to that RFE stating that NBI is the same as a police certificate in the Phillipines. This way when u get the RFE letter u can send the response in right away..good luck and i have a feeling that ur case will be over very soon.

thirdsjen,

Sorry to hear this. Like cmnb said you can write a letter of explanation to NVC regarding the Police Clearance and express mail it to them. Use the same address but Attn: to DR. The checklist for my I864 RFE was received in the mail on 9/4 and the rfe was issued on 8/27. Hope things work out at NVC.

Rajaa_Reda,

It's good to see that things are progressing for you. Finally on the correct route! E-mailed ds3032 takes about 10 days to be accepted by NVC. Try express mailing the ds3032 form as well, it'll be entered into NVC's system in about 2-3 days.
