Hey lashbanda don't worry it will be there monday i just have that feeling

@ gpmaan2 do not send anything until they ask for it it will throw you off course so bad but lets start at step 1: once you pay the AOS bill and it shows PAID online you print the cover sheet and send the AOS PACKET and its the same for the IV BILL they will not send you the cover sheet just the forms for the DS-230

@ MQ i have decided to wait for the checklist for missing docs my hubby and i just don't want any more RFE's

@DWM you are still one of us! and i have to rollover to february with you

gotcha! Ms Sheka

gotcha! Ms Sheka

Can I have a little clarification here? I paid my AOS fee and it shows as PAID.

However - I emailed back the DS-3032 and have not gotten confirmation that it has been accepted.

Do I still go ahead with mailing back the AOS packet with the cover sheet I have already printed?

Thanks for the help

If the AOS bill has been paid and you can print out the barcoded cover sheet, then have at her and send the AOS to NVC. When your DS-3032 is accepted, your IV bill will be available to be paid. That's the best way to know whether or not the DS-3032 has been accepted.

Yes, mail in your AOS package with the cover sheet.

yes you can now send your completed AOS packet with the barcoded coversheet to NVC.. with regards to the DS3032, it usually takes 2 to 3 weeks for it to be accepted by NVC.. (but ours was accepted in 4 days.. i don't know why, it just happened..)

Thanks to all for the quick replies. I just lost 3 days in the process since I was sitting on the AOS packet awaiting the DS-3032 acceptance. doh! Will express mail it today!

[sachinky 465]

Both are separate but simultaneou processes.

Once your DS3032 is accepted, your IV bill will be generated.

That has nothing to do with your AOS.

Good luck!

That's what I was trying to get out!!! Can't think straight while at work!!! Too many interruptions!!

Look under the guide section for the NVC...it shows you how the petitioner and beneficiary's paperwork is separate then comes together at the end!!

I posted this in another post.... might be of use in keeping things straight!

For anyone confused about NVC, the formula is this

Petitioner = Get NVC # + receive AOS fee bill + pay 70$ online + wait to show paid + print cover sheet + send 854 AOS with all documents and case # written on each page

Benificerary = Get NVC# + receive 3032 + send 3032+ 3032 accepted + IV fee bill available to be paid + pay and wait to show paid + print IV cover sheet + mail 230 package with all original/certified documents

======= wait for case complete + wait for interview to be scheduled

I think your formula should be put under the guide lines for "what to expect after getting NOA2 at USCIS".

I bet we could come up with a nice format for it!!

I really thought I was on top of understanding the process. I guess I proved myself wrong.

Thanks to the folks who have studied the process and helped us.

Thanks Lash!!!

Don't worry, your case will be there soon!!! I think mine took close to 2 weeks...give or take a day This is the time you use to get all the paperwork together so you will have them when they ask for them!!!

I had my husband fill out the ds-230 while I was waiting and print it out and sign the first page so I would have it by the time they wanted it sent in...

Good luck and God speed through NVC!!!

thanks ...good luck in your interview...my wife should be mailing police certificate, ds-230, and everything else I need tomorrow...so I will have it when they ask me..I think.....

but seriously...me and you got the worst of it.....some people like mssheka:P got their case at NVC in 2 days...lol...yo mssheka..no offense ok..I am happy for you..really...I don't have the docs ready anyways..

after reading what mssheka is gone through with this wait.....my wait seems nothing to me...Good luck to all

Hey lashbanda don't worry it will be there monday i just have that feeling

YES BABY YES...IT WILL BE THERE MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes people mail in their AOS and DS230 packets together in order to ensure no false RFE.

I've been lurking on these message boards for the past few months and have read, and read, and read everything that has been posted. I do empathize with everyone who has been held up in the process and hope everything works out for all.

I feel fortunate with how things have gone for us so far - no major delays. We built in all these multi month waits into our expectations.

However - that being said - unlike a lot of the folks here who are away from their spouses - I get to spend weeks at a time with my wife since my job allows me to work from any location in the world (once there is high speed internet).

So I spend a week and a half in the office and then head off overseas to stay with the wife for 2-3 weeks and then return to the U.S.

I just thought I'd share my story seeing that I just am using everyone for info and not giving much back. maybe i will stick around after the process to help out the new folks
