My AOS Bill shows it is PAID, but when I try to look at or print the Cover Sheet, I can only see a few words and no barcode, and everything is shifted off the edge of the right side of the page. I called them, and the operator said she would email me a new one, but I've been waiting all day now. Grumble Grumble...

She said it's a known problem. So head's up to those waiting on theirs.

YES~! Come on in.. leave your sanity at the door!

Mine is still in process too. But I checked my bank account and they took my money.. I was never excited about someone else taking my money!

They did that to me too- took a day or so before it reflected as paid AFTER they took the money...

Im sweating this "possible RFE" and wish (just as the rest of you) that they would just hurry up already!

I am also in the March NVC thread now... waiting for some papers and hopefully will be sending off I-864 and DS-230 tomorrow!

I do have a question - why is everybody mentioning that NVC only schedules interviews during the first two weeks of the month? Is that the case? I remember reading somewhere that wasn't true... or is it?

NVC does schedule interviews other weeks too for certain consulates. However if you get a case complete by second week, there is a good chance that you will get an interview for the following month (Provided the consulate is not very busy).

Yes there is a good chance you will have your case number by Monday. You can try calling NVC end of this week and if a case number is assigned give your emails to them ASAP. Things go very fast from there on.

So the case has to be complete by the beginning or by the end of second week? Say, if I send in my paperwork tomorrow overnight, would I get on the April bandwagon? I know someone who has their interview in Moscow on 03/15 and they were scheduled on 02/08, so I am assuming a similar timeline (around 30 days for an interview)

Also, does anybody know if appointments in Moscow only get scheduled during the first two weeks?
