Hello all!

This is my first posting here and I believe we're nearing the point where we should be notified about the interview date soon!

I'm a little confused over a couple of items I've received from the NVC. We have filed the I-130F and then the I-129F.

On March 24th I received a notice from the NVC that indicates they received an approved I-129F and that they will forward it to the visa-issuing post overseas. It also says that soon my wife will receive a packet with instructions on how to apply for the K3 visa. This was incredibly exciting news and I was/am expecting to receive the date any day now, along with the requests for information from myself. Today I received a packet from the NVC stating that the immigrant visa petition has arrived at the NVC for processing and they request the Affidavit of Support processing fee. I paid it, to avoid any delays (as stated in the letter), but I'm wondering if this was for the I-130F? The NVC Case numbers are different, but it doesn't state in the letter I received today what this is specifically for. I know I will have to provide the AOS, but I find it strange that they've asked for the processing fee before I've provided the information.

Was it wrong to send the AOS processing fee? Are these items referencing the two different cases (130/129)??

Thanks much!
