I-864 coversheet & ds-3032 question + K3 interview + Certified copy

[sanj 0]

Hello,

We've been using Visa Journey for a while and decided to make a post for the first time.

We received the NVC email with DS-3032 and 864 bill. We paid AOS fee online in their website. When I call NVC, the AVR says the bill is received. However, the website still says it is in process. I confirmed it is cashed from my bank. I called NVC and the operator said it is still pending. I was under the impression that I can send the 864 package as soon as the AOS bill status is paid. My issue is that I don't have the coversheet to send with 864 package. I was going to send the 864 package as soon as I get the cover letter. Has this happened to anyone that even if the AVR says bill paid and website says it is pending??

Another concern is about DS-3032. My husband sent it via email. He sent two emails one following the VJ template and the other he scanned the comepled & signed form with the barcode and sent it as an attachment. We received the AUTO RESPONSE mails for both. The operator couldn't confirm if they got it. She said they must have if I got the auto response but it is not been reviewed. I am not sure how long we'll have to wait for that.

Also As you can see from our time line, we already have a K3 interview date. As we like to move with CR1 we are going to email consulate to see what they can do? We know it isn't good to cancel the date. But as things are getting kind of delayed at NVC and my husband still needs to get his police certificate, we are not too sure. Does anyone know the medical for K3 and CR-1 is same or different?

Does certified copy mean take a copy of the original and get the issuing agency place a seal to confirm it? Do we have to notarize it as well? If there is an affidavit with a birth certificate, does that need to also have the seal from the issuing agency? For a certified copy of the affidavit, can we just notarize it?

Sorry for too many questions at once. Please help.

Please suggest anything you think may help us to proceed to the next step.

Thank You,

As soon as the status shows paid you will be able to print out cover sheet.

Not sure about DS-3032, we didnt get one, we just got AOS and IV bill by email we paid them both and as soon as status changed to PAID it allowed us to print out cover sheet. Not that it matters still waiting for Police Certificate before I can send all docs.

By requesting a copy from issuing agent you will normally receive a certified copy with their stamp/seal on it.
