Is the NVC involved with any more parts of our process, like EAD or AOS?

Thanks,

No. Unless you're considering pursuing IR-1 after approval of your petition (I-130). Then your wife would have to travel back to her home country to get another visa. The NVC will contact you when they receive your I-130. Send out the enclosed DS-3032 and make sure to indicate that you don't want to proceed. Otherwise, you'll end up facing a delay because the approved I-130 will not be send back to USCIS.

Otherwise, it's USCIS all the way (except for EAD, I think)

Good luck!

It's something we'll have to decide if/when we have a better idea of the timeline. It's probably easier to adjust here, but we might time a visit to her folks with an interview date. Now that her K3 is in hand, I'm taking a few days off this second job (Immigration) and will start back up this weekend learning about AOS.

I agree- NVC does a great job. Not perfect, but I think they have a good system considering that all USCIS centers channel their petitions to NVC. They are easy to call, reply to emails, and have a 24 hr automated voice response to check for timeline updates.
