How is everyone? Another week soon to come to an end and into the April mid next week.

Congratulations to everyone who had recently joined us in our struggle to get through NVC process.

On my side: I have not yet received any email or letter from NVC and they have not generated my bill online. Meanwhile, having had filed for Tax returns for 2008; I applied online for 4 years Tax transcripts. I was told by the Tax rep that it could take 30 days to process such a request, even though the application itself tells 10 days processing time. But anyhow, I received my 2008-2005 transcripts yesterday exactly after 11 days.

Just waiting for the PCC that my wife needs to get and I should have every document and ready to move along.

Once again, good luck everyone and keep the thread going.

hi there misr..... can i ask you how can one apply for the transcripts online? coz the only way i know is to apply for transcripts on the phone.... it would be great to know that way as well....

we havent received anything from NVC either...case number was assigned on the 19th march and still nothing....

I got my tax transcripts rather fast too, not even a week or so. My case number was assigned on march 09 and we received the bill on 03/17 at 10:00 p.m. at night. It took a good 8 days.

I called today and still no case #. This is more nerve racking than waiting for the NOA2.

I have to agree that the excitement from the NOA2 is very short lived!! Now on to NVC stress before we can breathe the scd sigh of relief after the magical case complete!!

Welcome darkequitus! Wow, things have been moving fast for you! Can u explain ur NVC break down a little more. What do u mean by medical interview? Do u mean u had ur medical prior to getting the interview date? How is that possible? I thought u need to get ur case completed at NVC and bring ur interview appointment letter with u so u can get the medical done. Did you go thru the same steps as paying ur bill then sending in AOS and IV packets, etc? It would be nice if u updated ur timeline to reflect all of that as I see there is a gap b/w 01/29 and 02/26.

we just paid our AOS today and i got an email like this but with an attachment of our receipt..

Dear Sir/Madam,

The U.S. Department of State's online Immigrant Visa Invoice Payment Center has been utilized to pay the fees associated with the immigrant visa application of PRINCIPAL APPLICANT NAME NOT FOUND. Your copy of the receipt is attached to this email in a PDF file.

Why does it says PRINCIPAL APPLICANT NAME NOT FOUND??????

Hi Kat...are you mad at me?

Hey maybe the problem is the difference you said about your name (Ann vs Anne)?

EN

Why would i be mad at all?

I already send a scanned copy of my passport and NBI through email - so they better do their work and correct my ANNE not ANN .

OMG I AM SO EXCITED!!! Just when I thought we would have to wait till Monday, WOOFREAKINHOO, I get an email from my lawyer stating our completed AOS/IV package is being overnited tonite and will get to NVC by Monday!!

Hello, I did not pay anything.

My wife and I are both in the UK. She is a dual citizen and has been in the UK for the past 12 years.

I did miss out a stage however.

Between 01/29 and 02/09 (I did not keep an accurate record of dates etc) I received a letter (Case number included)requesting the DS-230-I and the DS-2001 (declaring readiness for interview). It also stated, I did not have to wait for a interview date in order to book my medical

I had my medical on February 26th. When I booked my medical in London, all they requested was my case number., I brought ID and a photo, and letter of course to the medical.

I flew out to the States from the UK for a week the next day (No problem at immigration). On my return, I had the interview letter waiting for me in the post.

At the Embassy, I paid the £277 before my interview. I paid £46 to the courier company today to collect my I-864 and I-864A forms from my joint sponsor along with my passport. I knew the joint sponsor request was coming as my wife had been in the UK for so long, So her parent Fed-ex'd the docs to me the same day.

We submitted those. We were also informed.

I hope this helps. Sorry, I do not understand half the acronyms being used in this forum.

Seems the process is different for those from the UK? In any case, good luck with ur journey! That bit about the acronyms made me smile

My husband just called NVC and spoke to an operator. Our case has not been received yet.

Hi His_Wifey,

I did not mean to mis-spoke but the excitement caused the error. I actually faxed them the form that I printed from their website. After waiting 10 days, I gave the rep a call and soon later next day I had the (4 - one separate for each year) letters in my mailbox.

So the only thing I did different was to simply fax, since I guess we are not in total rush but will be glad when all this is over and done successfully. Hopefully for all of you out there as well. Good Luck and enjoy your weekend.

BTW, I got thru NVC today and inquired if the IIN was generated. He told me that it would be by mid of next week. April 1st Wednesday might be the day for all those waiting for the bill to be generated.

Take care everyone.

How is everyone? Another week soon to come to an end and into the April mid next week.

Judging by your timeline, you might get your case assigned mid of next week if not early next week. Sometimes, they dont enter your case number in the automated response even though they are working on your papers - so get in touch with rep and see if they can give you that number. Good luck.

Did he talk to a representative, I called two days ago and was told that my case has been received but has not been assigned a number yet.

I'm in the same boat. I called for the first time today. Do you make it a daily ritual or just every few days? People seemed very pleasant though.
