Just got off the phone with NVC to check on any updates. They have received the I-864 already but does not have any updates for the DS-3032. The lady who took my call said "it was in the building" already. Could it be that it is being reviewed already?

More waiting!

Hi Macy-how were you able to send your IV packet out so quickly?

There was no mention of the IV packet, Finn. Only things mentioned are I-864 (AOS) and DS-3032 (change of agent).

Mark :)

It was in their timeline you goofball! I think it was a mistake though...

Sorry for confusing everyone. The husband has sent out the I-864 package already and NVC confirmed that they have received it. And that my DS-3032 is already "in the building". So Im wondering if that meant we should get the IV bill invoice soon.

I've updated my timeline already and again sorry for the confusion.

That's okay Macy! Mark just thinks I'm hallucinating... :lol:

I asked this yesterday but didn't get a response...I know it takes at least two weeks now to get the 3032 and 864 accepted. But at some point is the AVR updated to say it's at least been received? I feel like I feel off the NVC face of the earth...

Finn,

I just called the AVR and it finally said they received my 3032 form and will send further information in a few weeks. It did not say that last night when I called. As of yesterday afternoon, my IV fee bill was available to be paid and I got the email confirming my optin from Montreal.

It will come to you! I promise!!!! :thumbs:

Thanks Red! Congrats! I'm a week or so behind you, so maybe I'll get lucky next week!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

Just dropping in quick on my lunch break! Hope you are having a good day!!

I tracked the DS form and it is in NH

I paid the AOS and finally got a receipt,cover sheet and am mailing the support packet tomorrow.

:dance::thumbs:

Unfortunately there is a postal strike in UK so he still has not recieved anything to get his stuff sent in! grrrr

Will we get a notice when the IV bill is ready to be paid or do I need to keep checking?

yey for you. how i wish i could say the same for us. i will try calling NVC again later and see for any more new updates. the AVR says the same thing about them accepting the financial evidence but awaiting the DS-3032. i was hoping for a case complete by the end of the month but looks like we won't get that.

864 was signed for this morning. Now I wait....

And wait...and wait...

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

That's great Abbie! I guess I have to wait at least one more week...check the DOS site and see when your next fee gets invoiced. You paid the AOS fee right? I've seen some people post on VJ that suggest not to pay the IV fee ($400 or whatever it is) until you get the email (it's usually a day later?) so that bit confuses me. Get those docs together so you can send them ASAP!!!

We emailed the 3032 and fedexed it. Now I'm thinking I wasted $20 on that!

yeah, i am thinking it is a better idea to wait before paying your iv bill. we did not , and now it is showing unpaid, and is having to go through a supervisor to get it manually entered :blink: the operator told me we paid before it was invoiced :lol: but since then we have had 2 invoices, and the status still says not paid, and i am able to still access the receipt and document cover sheet. so who knows why this is. they have already signed for his ds230. just hasn't been entered in the system. but tomorrow is another day :)

Give Generously, Live Fully, Laugh Often, Love Completely...AND PRAY ALWAYS!!!

He is home!!!
