Welcome qundas and Pauley!

Is it too soon to start gathering documents for NVC? :unsure:

It is never too early to prepare your NVC docs now. In fact I have already filled out the choice of agent form, the AOS and visa app, I am just waiting for my transcripts from IRS(last 3 yrs) and when the time comes to send to NVC. I figure my file will blow through the NVC like the wind. :star::dance:

We are in the same boat. Foregoing any dreaded RFE possibility. Should be a pretty smooth journey. Definitely not too early to be prepared with all documents. :thumbs:

Hey April filers, Im at day 54, alot of March filers still waiting for NOS 2 , the work visas most certainly slowed things down at USCIS. Dont get discouraged, start focusing on NVC, get your forms signed by SO, then you will rock and roll thru NVC. Good luck filers.

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

I anticpating NOA2 sometime in July, my NOA1 date is 4/22. I am working on the NVC docs. I am awaiting the visa app that I sent me wife to fill out and sign, then send back. I am still waiting for my tax transcripts from IRS. I sent the request by mail, and if I don't get anything by end of next week, I will order them through the avr. I am thinking 3 months for uscis, then 4-5 months to go through NVC and to interview.
