OK, our fee bills are paid and we had the AVR message for that. Next we mailed the DS-230 and I-864. and NVC received them. Now the AVR has a message that just says an instruction package will be mailed to you in the next 2 weeks. What is this? Is it a case complete and the instructions is the interview letter? Or is it a message referring to the generation of the DS-230? I am confused since the package has been received already. Anyone have an idea what it might be?

It should be IV fee bill if you paid all your bills online.

Waiting for the april one myself :unsure: Just missed the cut off for march.

PLEASE EXPLAIN CUT OFF DATE

I have an interview date based on my K-3 hoping to swap it

but i am sending hopefully (husband) sending the AOS & IV package today

what does the cut of date really mean and fro when to when

THANKS

You guys will never believe this....we over nighted our RFE I-864 package to NVC and they just received it. Then I go and check the AVR and it says that they're requesting MORE information!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a total meltdown........so much for an April interview at this rate.......

Seriously my husband and my father-in-law have the same names, except different middle names. I really feel like they're screwing up with both of their information. My husband didn't have to file for taxes b/c he was in school, so we proved why, proved he was in school, and proved his dad claimed him for all 3 years. Anyways, my father in law makes way over the poverty line so we're good to go financially with him as our 'support'.

I sent in SO much information. Another RFE? I'm like a case out of history, this never happens with NVC :(

Any light to shine on this guys?!??! :clock:

....by the way, do you think speaking with an operator or a supervisor will help? I have a strong feeling they've mixed up hubby & father in law's info....

Oh man are you serious? ): I don't get why NVC is slacking these days. haha. they screwed up my case too and are requesting more information.

don't lost hope though! you still have a chance at getting that april interview (:

I am sorry about you getting the RFE's

I am wondering why you all are getting the RFE's

PLEASE Advice

trying to avoid them

well, i got an RFE because they misplaced my papers and said an I-864A was missing [which it wasn't] and I accidentally left a line blank lol [oops] and that was pretty much it.

We got an RFE...well I'm not too sure why, but my solid advice is to go over-board on the amount of information you give them. If they say "maybe send 1-3 years of tax info.." send ALL three! That way you gave them a little extra and all they asked for. Make sure you triple check all of your forms and get someone else to look over them too. Sometimes we're so used to seeing all the forms that our eyes play tricks on us! :)

By the way....our AVR is still saying that we have an RFE, but again according to the lady on the phone Thursday night we don't have an RFE that message is just up there because they just received our I-864 RFE package the day before and they haven't had a chance to look at it. Phew! I will check again on Monday, maybe to just double check the operators info. Doesn't hurt right?

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

*** @ MOOSKER,

Well the 1st of 2 RFE I got this week was false alarm...

1st RFE- NVC stated they never got my IV package... that next day it was cleared, they got my package!

2nd RFE- this one bites cause like you, I tripple everything and send extra stuff to make sure its everything okay, the bad part is no one there on weekend to answer the phone- AVR only states they sent RFE. I think its my PCC/NBI that was sent the nxt day after my pckg was sent off. But then it also state that they need my wedding certificate from previous marriage, I guess the divorce decree is not enough?

Another wknd pass and now cant find out anything till MONDAY, the bz day for the NVC operators..

I am really wondering, since my husband was married before, we are sending his divorce decree

but not the marriage, did they gave you a reason why they wanted the previouse marriage paperwork

and is this for the USC or future Alien Relative

Thank you

I paid them one by one. Just make sure that the bills have been generated and sent, you can confirm by speaking to an operator at NVC, and then pay them.

Carlos & Jocel - Did you get through to NVC today?!?!? I am constantly trying to call...this weekend our AVR still said we had an RFE (even though the operator informed me that just means our paperwork has not been looked at yet...). I'm still going to call within the next few days if the AVR doesn't change to double-check that the message on the AVR is what the last operator said it was! :) Doesn't hurt to double & triple check right?

Let me know what your 'rfe' was supposedly for. I hope you don't actually have one!!!!

Yes, that is normal. At the time the AOS bill is paid, they don't have your email in their system. If you email in the DS-3032 they record your email, which is probably why you got the IV Bill receipt and not the AOS Bill. If you want copies you can login with your case number and IIN as ArubaDolphin mentioned.
