Congratulations on your NOA2. I don't really know what happens at the NVC when it relates to CR-1 procedures but hopefully you will get an answer soon.

This tells you the steps by steps of what will happen at the NVC and how to get through smoothly and quickly. I hope this helps you. .

Baile,

From what I've been reading, it looks like what NVC does is to gather paperwork for the consulate and fees. In this step you (the beneficiary) is the one who is required to send most of the documentations. All your husbands needs to do is to send the I-864 form with all the supporting doc. needed and to pay the required fees (70$ and 400$). And you wait...

I'm still waiting on our NOA2 and I can't speak from experience.

Wouldn't his mom just fill out the I-864 and not the A form, unless they live in the same household still?

Hello Eric & Lizeth, thank you so much for your response..hopefully NVC is shorter processing than USCIS..

Yeah, his Mom and my husband are living in same house..so that his Mom fill-up the I-864A I am right? But they are both kinda confused about the forms...awwww but my husband will go to US government to ask some advice and checking all his papers and to his Mom before my husband filling our papers in the NVC particularly the AOS..

TeyaValentina, could you please tell how did you receive NVC case number? I am kind of "lost" in this NVC process. The guide helps a lot though. Just don't know how do you get NVC case number after receiving NOA2. Did you get a letter from NVC stating that NVC assigned a case number?

(603) 334-0700

An automated recorded message system is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to answer case status inquiries.

I called the number (603) 334-0700 to NVC after receiving my NOA2 in my E-mail. NVC automated recorded message system it ask me to enter my CIS receipt number which is my NOA2 receipt number (USCIS NOA1 or NOA2 receipt number). The automated recorded message system give me my new NVC case number. The next day i give them my E-mail and my wife E-mail.

After your I130 is approved, NVC will assign you a case number.

Call the number (603) 334-0700

You will have to give your email address to an operator and you will receive the AOS/DS3032 in your inbox in about 3-4 days.

Pay the AOS bill and the beneficiary will email the DS3032. The VJ template is sufficient.

This should help you understand the NVC processing stage--

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.

No problem Baille!

What S&ET posted about "Christine's current processing times" is not current. Those times change a lot. It looks like NVC is slowing down and instead of taking 7 days (this is how long it took me and other people around me) to get your case number, it looks closer to 2 weeks. I hope this time goes back down again. The other times are not current as well. The best predictor of how long it will take is to look at the time lines of people who are NVC now to see about how long it will take to get things done.
