September at NVC

[philmae83 0]

hi Bob (your name must be Robert), you got the same nickname as my husband..by the way thank you..i see that your wife is in Philippines too..hoping you can give me more information about this journey

Yes, my name is Robert but I never use that as it's just too formal sounding.

I'm not sure how much info I can give as we're just a few weeks ahead of you in the process...

As you can see from our timelines it was 8 days for my wife & 7 days for our son to show as case received by NVC and have a case number.

Also note that it was 13 days to get the AOS Fee Bill & DS-3032 for my wife via US Mail but only 4 days for our son via e-mail. The difference baing that I had called NVC the day he had a case number there and gave them our e-mail addresses BEFORE THEY GENERATED his AOS Fee Bill & DS-3032 so they were able to e-mail it all to us instead of print & mail it.

Now it has taken 8 days for them to accept her DS-3032 via e-mail and we are expecting our son's to be accepted ether today or tomorrow as they were e-mailed close together. Note that when e-mailing the DS-3032 the short note included in the outdated shortcuts doesn't work anymore. You must fill-out and sign the DS-3032 that is sent to you and then scan it and attach it to the e-mail then follow the provided instructions (put NVC Case number in subject line, Petitioner's name & birthdate and Beneficearies name & birthdate in the message body with note stating that your DS-3032 is attached).

When I sent the AOS (I-864) Packets to NVC I sent the package UPS Next Day Air. NVC's system showed "Mail Received on the case" 2 days after UPS showed it was delivered.

Once they have received the DS-3032, NVC will generate the IV Fee Bill.

The best shortcuts (in my opinion) are:

1. Call NVC starting at 5 days after NOA2 Date to get NVC Case Number.

2. Once you have NVC Case Number, speak to an NVC Operator and give them both party's e-mail addresses.

3. Use Express delivery services (not US Post Office) for return of Document Packages (AOS I-864 & DS-230).

4. Have the documents (AOS I-864 & DS-230 Packages) ready to that when the coversheets are generated you can send them right away.

I've read on VJ that members have been able to get the SLMEC Medical Exams by just showing a copy of thier NOA2. I'm going to suggest to my wife, Anna, that she & our son try that before the end of the month as it would cut some time off the wait for her interview.

The wait times now are so much shorter but really more agonizing because we're so close that we can actually imagine the day she will land in Chicago. She has days where I think she'll go crazy from the wait but this is how the US Gov't works: Hurry up and wait...

Thanks bob 4 anna. Hope we can help each other at NVC process. God bless you!

thanks bob

You also put the bar code at ds3032 before you scan?

The DS-3032 that they send you will have the barcode already.

Im with you girls in the waiting. I don't get it on why we have to wait this long for the NVC number. Been calling NVC everyday checking on the AVR if a case number has been assigned to us but no luck. Hopefully we receive good news before the week ends.

Keep the faith!

Hi Everyone,

This thread is very helpful for me, my petition for my mom and wife just recently approve.

VJs, please enlighten me, i am a little bit worried about my bank.

My salary is almost 175% higher than the poverty line, (salary wise, i am capable to sponsor them) but my problem is my bank statement.

I mismanaged my income for the past few years that led me to a overdrafts,

As per the AOS packet that you receive, does the 6 months bank statement included their? I was so worried about that, though as per checking here in VJs format, its just an optional.

Please enlighten me.. I am so worried that this may cause a delay.

BTW, my brother is willing to co-sponsor with me (but he has the same problem like me, his bank used to overdraft) but he's income is above poverty line also.

Thank you so much!

As far as I know you can abandoned the I29F petition just let the NVC know that you want the cr1/Ir1 visa for your husband and I know the NVC will receive soon the cr1/Ir1 case
