No, I didn't. I decided to pass since NVC operator told me if they receive the papers before April 15th it won't be an issue. Besides, I didn't really have a reason why I didn't file other than I owe money and I still am saving to be able to pay the owed money when I file ..Once again, it's not like I made a fortune so why I owe is beside me!! :crying: Hope they won't RFE me for that. They can't force us to file if the deadline has not passed unless the case review is not done by April 15th then I think it will be an issue. I am crossing my fingers for this one for as I said before u never know with them!! :wacko: But if they do request it, it's no biggie since I have to file in the next 15 days either way. I will run to my accountant as soon as I hear the news and overnite it to them immediately lol You can be sure I will be calling them every day asking if there are any RFEs and won't be waiting for the notification to come from their end.

Hmmmm...this makes me wonder. When they issue an RFE and if u catch it immediately by calling, can u send the requested docs right away or do u have to wait for that checklist they need to send u and include it with the requested RFE?

You will need to wait for the letter. See below body of letter of the "False RFE" that I received about the missing DS-230.

" .....

We have reviewed the documents which you submitted in support of an application for an immigrant

visa. Please review the information listed under each applicant's name and provide any documents

which are indicated as missing or need additional information. You must submit the required

information. Failure to provide the requested information will delay your immigrant visa interview.

Please read the enclosed information to determine where to send all required copies of missing

documents. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please call the National Visa Center at (603)

334-0700 between the hours of 7:30am and midnight ET.

Please include a copy of this letter with your correspondence and write your case number clearly (exactly

as it appears below) on the upper right-hand corner of all documents.

If a period of one year passes without contacting the NVC (by e-mail, telephone, or mail), all

submitted fees and documents will expire. Upon expiration, the fees and documents would need to

be resubmitted in order to continue the immigration process.

..."

You need to send a copy of the letter including the page with the barcode.

I got the same letter, this letter can be ignored, since you have not sent in the DS-230 yet. Simply send in the DS-230 with the IV Barcoded sheet and you will be fine.

Hi all, nothing new on my end. Still waiting for both packets to be scanned into the NVC system. I will give them till Friday :whistle:

I did call and ask about whether we will get an RFE for not sending in 2008 taxes and was told not unless case complete does not occur till April 15th. So I am hoping we will be done with NVC by then and at that point I would simply have to mail hubby copy of my 2008 taxes directly w/o submitting them to NVC. Keeping fingers crossed for all of us. May we get out of NVC in the next 2 weeks! :star::star::star::star:

Good luck to you GS4. I was pursuing the k3 but decided to try my luck getting the CR1 out and having a "flip" but my spouse's k3 interview is april 16th! I haven't even gotten choice of agent approved! yikes! they seemed faster, but I assume there was a rush of new cases to NVC which may have slowed them down.

Thanks prodigal one :thumbs:

Gotta love how fast things change: UPDATE --> ooooooooh dare I get excited?? I just called NVC again a little while ago b/c i received an email from them titled "intructions packet_lawyer I 130" and it said in the email please include this letter with ur AOS and IV package b4 u mail it to NVC so I was like Oh no, I already mailed my packets out! So when I called they said to ignore the letter email and that information always gets crossed. The operator confirmed they received something from me yesterday and that it was under review but that it still didn't show what it was :dance: WOOHOO...so excited...under review already! That is awesome. Of course she said give it 2-4 weeks but we all know I will be calling every day lol :lol: Who's got the patience to sit back and wait 2 weeks b4 calling again...I asked the lady if it meant our packet was now sitting one someone's desk being reviewed and she laughed at my eagerness and said yes :P I have observed ppl getting their case complete lately b/w 6-10 days max. I can't wait till I get the OK nod from NVC!!

Yes we got the bill in an email yesterday and I confirmd with the operator before we paid the IV bill ...currently shows in process.

Elima: I think NVC system is messed up....quite a lot of people have had recent ptoblems with payment of IV bill.

My AOS was accepted yesterday and confirmed my 2 different operators but the AVR states that they need additional info, When I questioned one of the reps they told me the AVR is incorrect. :huh:

Serendipity - Congratulations on the IV Bill getting generated!!! The AVR is probably referring to the FALSE RFE that you will probably see since your AOS was accepted but your DS-230 has not been sent to NVC yet. I wouldn't worry about the AVR, go with the status you get from the operators.

This whole waiting got me bored out of my mind!

Elima: Our IV bill showed up as Not paid after it showed as IN process and Paid respectively. We requested a supervisor fix it and they told us it takes 10 business days to be resolved. Ours was just fixed on Monday 03/30/09. So talk to an operator and have them put in a request for a supervisor to manually take care of it.

It's very frustrating how the AVR and online bill pay both are not always reliable. An operator told me the same about AVR (that it's not always updated). Best to always check with a few operators to ensure they are all giving u the same answer.

In my case, yesterday afternoon I was told by one the review had begun and later on at nite another said my case was not entered into the system as yet and that it's pending and today another said sorry the pending thing was the wrong screen she was looking at so go figure :whistle: From now on, every news I get I will call and hear it from a few various reps. Definitely not fun but better to be sure than be :unsure:

Always check a couple of times with operators at NVC, I was once told that they were waiting for my DS-230, and after I mentioned that it had already been delivered to NVC and signed for, the operator said hold on, pulled up another screen and said "Oh, it currently under review".
