I was wondering how is it that most VJers are sending in AOS and IV packets and it tells us on the online instructions to not proceed without NVC authorization. Do you think that is outdated information on their website prior to going green? My lawyer is dead set against sending anything until NVC gives the green light. I tried to tell him an operator told me NVC won't send an OK to proceed and that he needs to send our packet in as long as he's got the cover sheet (which he does!!). He keeps saying we need to wait for a list of things NVC needs. I am trying to tell him "No we don't, it's all online as per the instructions". I think he's got it twisted according to the old system. January and February NVC case completes, please chime in as your expertise is highly valued. Did you guys get a list of things to send and the OK to proceed from NVC in the mail? MOST CURRENT MARCH NVC CASE COMPLETES (who were there during the switch to email) any ideas?

Thanks, Waithatter. I need my lawyer to agree :yes:

Go ahead and wait...wait...wait...meanwhile we proceed, proceed, proceed without a lawyer.

I Did NOT sent in a hard copy DS-3032 for example and they accepted only the email which got me the IIN.

I did pay ONLINE for both the AOS fee and the IV fee. IMMEDIATELY after it showed as PAID (which was one day after I paid) I mailed in the AOS and then the IV D-230 a week later when I had all the paperwork together that we needed. (It would have been better to mail those 2 together).

The list of what you need for both is YES shown on their website. Do that and you are set.

Of course, you could listen to your overpaid lawyer with a degree on the wall. My wife and I will pray for you as we are together sooner (rather than later). You need to tell your lawyer what to do because you are paying him (her) not vice-a-versa.

Good Luck.

Eric

I agree and had him call me back and we are ready to proceed :thumbs: Definitely overpriced. Had I known about VJ, I would have done it all myself, saved the money and used it to go on vacation with my hubby once he is finally here!
