@Milena, Glad to hear that your plane is to Sofia :thumbs:

@Tabitha, You are good with AOS :thumbs: I sent original employment letter. AOS package photocopy is not needed. But write NVC Case# on top right corner of every page except barcode sheet and cover letter. Milena, that's fee payment, not the receipt. However, receipt mailing is not needed.

@kruz, Congratulations for your AOS and DS-3032 mailing :thumbs:

@JD, Yes I remember he (senior) mentioned about another honeymoon. Glad you have another honeymoon in Thanksgiving time :)

@MattyDil, Your one more step is done :thumbs: Glad to know it!

@IS, OBX has given you the latest DS-3032 copy :thumbs:

A little update from me. My case is completed at NVC! Waiting for interview date... Any recent Chennai guys, how long it takes?

It won't be a long wait like other USCIS #######, JD :D

Since I don't have access to NVC AVR, I used to call human every day, sometimes I have called 3 times and all.

Another joke - I had an email from USCIS that "My case is post decision activity". Until yesterday, it was "Initial Review" :D

My express IV package(express - what a joke) is still in transit to NVC...it should arrive there this week, if it hasn't arrived already. Hoping to get progress in the next 2-4 weeks I guess. Still have all my fingers and toes crossed for a late Dec interview, but I guess a Jan or Feb interview won't be the end of the world. In other news, hubby is coming out for Christmas, yay! I can't wait to see him - miss him so much.

Loto, I haven't heard anything about the DS3032 either after attentioning it to Supervisor Sue.

Quick question. Should I send both tax account transcripts and tax year transcripts? Each of these came from IRS with the "we got your request" letter. Should I include that letter in the AOS package?
