It's been a long time since I've been on here. It was pretty depressing for a while there.

Anyway, just recently the USCIS re-approved our case after it was sent back from Vietnam, after we provided more evidence. So, where does it go now? Back to Vietnam or to the NVC and the bills and all of that again?

I don't even dare to hope. But I'll play and jump the hoops to see what comes of it.

Call USCIS or DoS and ask them the status of the case... It will likely get sent back to the consulate through NVC... fingers crossed for an interview in the coming months.. be sure that you have an updated financial affidavit completed before the interview...

The NVC will not bill you for IV fees again. Like Scott said, make sure you have updated financial documents (I-864) to bring to the interview.

The NVC can process your I-864, but they will charge you. The Consulate will not charge a fee to process.
