The quickest way through NVC(for people who can't do Electronic Processing) is to be ready to go with all of your paperwork and send it off as soon as you are able to (after having paid the bills). There are times where you just have to wait during NVC. A month isn't so bad compared to the possible 5/6 months for an NOA2. This stage goes by fast so get ready (especially since you have something to do besides wait the whole time)!

C'mon more approvals from USCIS!

Thanks JinyAndJony. All it shows is that I type too much on here.

Sorry John and anyone else who read the unedited post. I apparently can't read today.

[johndoe12 2]

dont have to be sorry for anything. Its all good. GOLD MEMBER wow. u do type too much here. But its good information that I have to admit

[TheJesal 2]

Teya, you crazy mofo! Nice work!

Question, has the NVC sent the ds230 to your hubby yet? Guess im wondering what the time is between the NO2 and the DS230 packet being sent?

I know there are steps inbetween but im trying to figure out when i can get my wife her PCC, she needs that checklist to get it. grr.

[BigSigh 12]

Well, they send the e-mail version pretty quickly. The hard copy I don't know. Mail never shows up to his place so if we waited for that, I'd be waiting for years on end. I thought that in the VJ time line where it says "received packet" meant the snail mail version . So much for being a "gold member" I will now go put those times in my signature to be helpful (Sorry The Jesal).

[yahya_marie 5]

hey guys how are you today is our 96 days since NOA1

[TomD 4]

I was kayaking with someone the other day who had previously had dealing with regards to passports and visas. He said he contacted his congress person and that speedup up his process time significantly. Once I get all my papers in hand I may be doing just that.

Ah i didnt know there was email version of that.

Hmm bet i can just have her print it out and it be enough proof to get her PCC? Great news if so! Thanks!

Hey Goldie .. :-)

This is an e-mail that they sent to my husband and the subject line was just the case number.
