Excellent! moving forward !!! are both interviews on same date? Once the 2nd one is assigned, usually can get both 'redone' to 'same day' via embassy contact /email/phone/fax.

You could OPT IN for EP at NVC, then your embassy casefile number would change, when OPT IN is successful (takes 2 to 20 days for OPT IN to be processed).

OPT IN is covered in the WIKI.

totosan:

How do you OPT IN? I'm going through the EP as well (or so I think- lol) but I never emailed them to OPT IN. I spoke to a rep on Friday and he said I'm already in EP. I'm going to try calling today just to make sure. I paid my IV fee on Friday. That's where I'm at right now.

Hola Saleen, tengo una s preguntas para ti nose si me las puedas contestar. yo soy ciudadano americano, mi esposa es mexicana, ella vive en tijuana yo en chula vista california. fui con un person para que me llenara el papeleo de immigracion. lleno la forma I-130 mandamos un paquete y un money order como de 300 y feria esto fue en abril del 2010, en abril me llego una carta I797C y despues en septiembre me llego otra carta la I797. en Octubre me llego una carta con 6 hojas donde dice que tengo que pagar 88.00 dolares y que los podia pagar en linea y asi lo hice. Cuando yo fui a decirle a la persona que me estaba ayudando a llenarlos que habia pagado me dijo que como yo lo habia pagado en linea que ya no me podia ayudar. y ahora no se que hacer. Dos de las Hojas traen condigos de barras y no estoy seguro si las tengo que mandar a algun lado que debo hacer con ellas. si me puedes ayudar te lo agradeceria mucho. muchas gracias.

check out Saylin's EP set over at

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_for_Montreal_Beneficiaries_–_Electronic_Processing_and_New_Online_Forms

it's for Canada, but it's the same steps for Mexico.

Things changed up since I first wrote about it, in 2010, for MEP casefiles.

NOW the intake process mirrors whats done for Canada.
