I just received a packet from NVC... it is just saying please pay AOS Fee. then has something about choice of address and agent... So my question is what do i need to do I already paid the fee so have to wait 2-3 days before it clears and check on the status. what is the purpose the Choice of Address and Agent form for? i am a little confused and how much longer do i have to wait at this point... sorry just a little anxious so close but so far... hehehehe

Hi! Are you the petitioner or the beneficiary?

The choice of agent should be emailed or mailed to NVC. This is to notify NVC to whom should they send all notifications/letters regarding your case. The beneficiary should sign it.

It is recommended for the beneficiary to choose the petitioner as the agent so that all correspondence will be sent to the petitioner. It is quicker because the petitioner has a US address.

If you are currently in the philippines, I will assume that you prefer to received all correspondence there, right? Then the beneficiary should still need to send the Choice of Agent and check " I do not appoint an agent or an attorney to receive mail about my application. Mail from the U.S.Department of State concerning my immigrant visa application should be sent to me at:...Philippine address"

You can either mail or email the choice of agent. Once they have received the choice of agent NVC will generate the IV fee. Which you can also pay online.

Did you pay AOS bill online? if so, you will receive the instruction from that site too. Not choosing an agent will not necessarily delay the petition. The only delay would be the time for NVC to received your documents and vice versa. (USA-PHILS-USA Courier) Although you can send via FedEx, but of course NVC will use regular mail.

But if you will pay everything online, that wouldnt be a problem.

Send the choice of agent so they can generate the IV Fee and since you already paid the AOS fee you can now send the i864 AOS Package as well. Dont forget to make a cover letter - list all the documents that you are sending to NVC.

Once the IV fee is paid, you can then send the DS-230 Package. After that, you just need to wait for your case to be completed. Mine was about 2 months from NO2 to case complete.

Good luck.
