IR2/CR2 APPROVED IN 56 DAYS AT CSC!!

Hey Markieboy, just spoke with NVC and she stated that the reason I hadn't received the DS3032 kit yet was because "the operator" didn't enter it in correctly and that this operator will resend it. I guess it's a game of constant follow-up. Things do move a lot faster if you stay on top of it. Much different than the first go-around with my wife. Just thought I would add that info.

Sailorboy,

Glad you followed up on your DS-3032 with NVC operator. This really shows the importance of being proactive. Good to hear you had the operator resend the DS-3032!

You really only need to send the IRS tax transcripts...not both. However, when I first was on VJ and adjusting status for my wife...I sent both tax return forms as well as the transcripts. I realized later that it was overkill, but I wanted to make sure I didn't receive an RFE.

Yeah, my case at NVC was really fast! I'm still not sure what happened. I hope your case is as smooth and quick as mine!

Markieboy, yes, I'm glad I followed up as well!! The DS 3032 kit email arrived this morning. Sent to both my stepdaughter's email and mine. OK, so now I am just waiting on the Electronic Processing approval then, watch out, things are going to be fast and furious. My status also changed on the AV which is now stating that NVC had received my AOS fee payment so that's current now as well. I'm going to get busy and line up everything so it's all set once the EP comes through. I am also going to try and get ahold of anyone who went the EP route to find out how big their email size was when sending in their stuff. I just scanned my I-864 in at 600 dpi and it came out to be around 25 mb. Whoa! That's not including the cover pages and tax returns/transcripts. Maybe I'll try scanning at 300 dpi. Wish me luck on getting it all together.

Sailorboy,

Glad to hear things are moving quickly for you! Way to stay on top of everything! Wow, yeah 600dpi for an ordinary text document, with no images, may be too much. I scanned copies of my signed forms using 150dpi, and they looked great IMO.

Good luck getting all your documents ready, Sailorboy! Hope to hear more great news from you.

Thanks Markieboy. Got a lot accomplished over the weekend as far as organization but most final touches must wait for the new GZO case number to be included. Once I have that, the rest should go pretty fast. Well, it's going to be a crazy week with the holidays approaching and then off to Seattle on Saturday for a week. Don't expect NVC will get much accomplished either with the holiday break. Take care and wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Sailorboy,

Happy to hear things are moving quickly for you. Yes, it won't be long at all! Enjoy your time in Seattle! You are correct, there won't be too much activity from NVC as the holidays are fast approaching.

Hope you have a very blessed Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with your friends and family!

Hope you had a great holiday Markieboy! Was fun to have that light snow where I was up in Edmonds. So I got the email for the EP approval and paid the IV fee. It's full speed ahead now but wait....now things are going a bit too fast! I say that only because the cost of flights and the possibility of her interview being somewhere near the Chinese New Year might be problematic. Sent in the AOS package but still need to collect some statements from friends and my stepdaughter so we're slowing down the process ourselves a bit. Will try and set up for having the interview in March (mid to late) or possibly early April. Can't believe I'm saying this but my hats off to the NVC and USCIS for their handling of my case. Who would have thought! So that's where I'm at right now. Aren't you headed for an interview in January? Good luck with that! I know your stepdaughter is probably anxious to come live with her Mom and you. Take care...just wanted to give you an update.

Best,

Sailorboy

Congratulations sailorboy, hope they hurry with case number at NVC.

Thanks Catracha85. Looks like you have your case number now...good luck on your trip through NVC.

Hello Markieboy...

I see your daughter got her IR2 visa...CONGRAULATIONS!!! :dance: Did you bring her back with you? I bet she is so happy to be her Mom now. That's just great. All my packages are in and just waiting for the case to complete. Was dragging my feet a little on the IV package so I would be sure to have the money needed for the trip. NVC actually sent me a "nag" email saying they were waiting on the IV package to complete the case. I immediately sent it so now we're just waiting patiently. Take care and congrats again! I'll be so happy when this is all over.

Best,

Sailorboy

Thanks as always Darnell. Now for the latest update...and maybe some info if you happen to know. NVC completed our case today. Sent the usual email (EP). Call the operator and was informed that they schedule Guangzhou interviews during the second week of the following month. I hadn't heard that before...I thought once the case was complete that the interview date would already be assigned. What's the lowdown on that. And, if it is going to be the second week in March before they assign an interview date, what is the expected wait time for the interview. I thought that Electronic Processing foregoes the delay substantially. Like say the beneficiary gets a notice within 7 business days after GUZ gets the package electronically. Am I missing something here? Please advise and thanks in advance.

Best,

Sailorboy
