NVC JUNE 2010 Edition!

[March2010 2]

I am emailing and also mailing a hard copy of DS-3032 "Choice of Agent" to NVC but I cannot confirm exactly which address to use?

James' Short Cut says:

National Visa Center

Attn: ACL

32 Rochester Ave.

Portsmouth, NH 03801

but LinChe's says:

Send the (AOS)package to:

National Visa Center

ATTN: CMR

31 Rochester Ave. Suite 100

Portsmouth, NH 03801-2914

Specific questions about a case to:

National Visa Center

ATTN: WC

31 Rochester Ave. Suite 200

Portsmouth, NH 03801-2915

The NVC gives no address to send it to, it only links to a blank form and gives no instructions.

Which address I use to send my hard copy of DS-3032?

Thank you all :-)

No need to snail mail it. DS3032s are accepted in 1-3 business days.

Yes, I understand that. I am trying to do both just in case.

March2010,

The e-mail from NVC with the DS3032 shows the 31 address and not the 32:

2. Send your Choice of Agent and Address form to the National Visa Center at this address:

National Visa Center

ATTN: ACL

31 Rochester Avenue, Suite 200

Portsmouth, NH 03801-2915

United States of America

Be sure the envelope has enough postage for delivery to the U.S.

Until we receive this form from you, we cannot process your case.

When we receive your completed Choice of Agent and Address form, we will send you or your agent

further instructions and forms to be completed and returned to the Department of State.

You or your agent should receive those forms and instructions four to six weeks after you return this

signed form. If neither you nor your agent receives the next forms and instructions within six weeks,

please notify the National Visa Center at the above address so that we can send you another packet.

Until we receive your completed Choice of Agent and Address form, we will not be able to forward

your file to the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate for further processing.

It might actually confuse the NVC if you do both...

Teya,

Thank you for this very VALUABLE information. I think you sent off the email from USA and on the same day you got the NVC case number, right?

[March2010 2]

It might actually confuse the NVC if you do both...

When I got the case# from the operator, she told me to send both if I like. Of course, I should have asked her for where to send it but I forgot. Anyway, Teya answered that one. Thank you.

[BigSigh 12]

Yes Sir I did. You are most certainly welcome. Wait...did you just say that you got your case number?!?!?!? YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! Now you are well on your way to happiness!!!!! C'mon September interview for March2010!

I hope so, but I have some AOS issues and my wife's Birth Certificate is lost.

We'll see what happens. How is your AOS issue?

sachinky and all NVC june edition members.....

so finally my case is approved on june 23rd. yayyyyyyyyy... have not received the NOA2 in mail yet. uscis process took about 11 months.

Now i am on to NVC process, and i hope i do not generate more RFE's with NVC,

sachinky i would like to ask you to please help me during this process, I need your e mail address please. so i can bug you with my questions.Plz pm me with e mail ID.

my first question now... * and i am very happy that i am on this stage to ask this *

how soon i can find out my NVC case number? I called today and after entering my uscis reciept number, it said it has no record OR they have not received my file yet. so how soon that happens????

Thank you all, and most of all thanks sacinky and deb+steve. who remembered me ......

[BigSigh 12]

March2010,

Unless K.S.A. is different, you should be able to get another birth certificate. My husband will need to get another one of those as well. As for my AOS, I'm waiting for the tax transcripts to arrive in 2 weeks to my AOSer so that I can see if they make enough. They have the povery guidelines but long story short, this is how is will be done. So therefore, I will find out in 2 weeks whether I am looking for a new AOSer or not. WOO! .

Waiter,

It should be about 7 days total from when your NOA2 is dated to when you receive your NVC number by calling that phone number. Congrats on finally getting through the 1st step. Hopefully you will have better luck with NVC.

did you just get your NOA2??

wait about one week and call the NVC to move to the next stage!

if you mail the ds3032 use the address given with the document in the email. the email says where to send it. good luck

[sachinky 465]

WAITER! Goodness! NOA2! Finally! I'm so so happy for ya!

Call again on Tuesday and get your case #. Talk to an operator and give them both your email addresses at that point.

What questions do you have? I'll do my best to help!

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.

6) Get your taxes, employment letter, paystubs, PCCs, civil documents etc. while you wait for the NOA2.

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.

8-10 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!

Regarding the AOS package:

First thing, I would recommend is that you print out the I-864 form and read the instructions about 2 times. Mark out the relevant portions and ask any questions you might have after that. I would suggest you read the guides for a comprehensive idea about how the AOS packet will comprise.

Recommended AOS package:

I-864 Coversheet (with barcode) for payment of $70

Form I-864 (signed and dated)

2009 Federal Tax Return/W2 and 1099s or IRS tax transcript.

2008 Federal Tax Return and W2 and 1099s or IRS tax transcript.

2007 Federal Tax Return/W2 and 1099s or IRS Tax Transcript

Letter of Employment

Pay stub(s) from the most recent six months

Bank Statements.

Remember, the USC petitioner will file a I-864 regardless of income. If your joint sponsor lives in the same household as the petitioner, then they will use I-864A. If they live in a separate residence, then they will fill in another I-864.

For your joint sponsor you will need proof of their citizenship/residency. For household member, you will need proof of relationship and proof of same household/residence.
