Aw, fuggit. I'm just flippin' out at the last minute. Gives me something to do apart from tracking this damned ash cloud and hoping it dissipates so that my husband's package which is currently stuck in Koeln, Germany can get here in the next day or two. :angry:

You know I did all the work (legal name change etc) and now I can't change my name on my passport anyway because NVC has all my original docs ... *sigh* waste of money, time and energy ... I'm hanging onto my maiden name. Don't stress it. I like my maiden name (much better than my married but don't tell him) ... :blink:

Hey lady - congrats and welcome ... :star:

So you can expect NVC to administratively 'close' your K3 (I-129f) petition and you will need to proceed with the CR1. Actually, let us know if they do!! You or your husband can start calling NVC in about 3-4 days to see if they've received your file and a case # has been allocated. Then you need to speak with an operator and give them both of your email addresses so you can start receiving those 'packets'. That's your first step and I won't confuse you with the rest for now. There are lots of people in this thread who will help you and hold your hand the rest of the way ... enjoy!!

Number for NVC is 603 334 0700.

Pay attention, non-EP NVC noobs. Here's Christeen's time tested formula to get you through NVC in one piece alive:

Petitioner: Get NVC # + give operator your email IDs + receive AOS fee bill + pay 70$ online + wait to show paid + print cover sheet + send I-864 AOS with all documents and case # written on each page.

Beneficiary: Get NVC# + receive DS3032 + send DS3032+ DS3032 accepted + IV fee bill available to be paid + pay & wait to show paid + print IV cover sheet + mail DS230 package with all original/certified documents

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

Suggestions:

1) Have the beneficiary mail SIGNED extra DS230s to you so that you have them handy in case something goes wrong. Or you get hit by a dreaded RFE.

2) If you just received your NOA2, THIS is the time to get your tax stuff and police certificates sorted out. Don't waste time on this.

3) Double check the PCC requirements in the regional forums as they are country specific.

4) Check the pinned STUPID RFEs thread in IR-1/CR-1 forum before sending in your packages.

5) Mail your DS230 package to your USC spouse as soon as you get your NOA2. That way he/she can overnight it to NVC as soon as the IV bill clears.

Currently the # of business days NVC is taking:

3-4 days for NVC to receive your case and assign a case #.

3-4 days to receive emailed links after case # has been assigned and email addresses been given to NVC operator.

1-2 days for the AOS bill to show as PAID.

1-3 days for DS3032 to be accepted.

1-2 days for IV bill to be PAID.

8-11 days for case complete after all your documents have been sent in.

Folks--please make sure your official VJ timelines are up to date. Remember this is our only source of predictions. Thankyou! :thumbs:
