Hi Everyone,

With the good news that our I-130 was approved and sent to the NVC, and the NVC telling me they sent the package to my wife in the Czech Republic, and me (7/22), I was wondering how long to wait before I (at least) get the package? Today is Aug. 1 which so I was wondering if anyone had experiences with the situation they would share?

Many thanks and good luck to all.

You don't have to wait for the DS-3032 and AOS fee bill to arrive in the mail. You can email the DS-3032 and pay AOS fee online if you already know the NVC case # and IIN.

I see your I-129F has already been forwarded to the consulate. Are you on the path of CR1, K3 or both?

Hi Leah...we are on the "both" path. So far the mailings are a "no-show" so we're doing the DS-3032 as you suggest.

Thanks!
