CSC to TSC to NVC: the Saga continues

[TSC Blackhole 11]

I was finally able to logon to my NVC account and submitted the Choice of Agent form. I thought I could pay the fees but it won't let me. Am I supposed to wait for something before i can pay those fees? Aside from transferring some money into my checking account..

It takes a day or two for the fees to be invoiced. I know you're probably dying to pay a lot of money, but you gotta wait

Where did you submit the choice of agent form?

[GGMG 0]

I have finished my 4 months and already in 5th month's wait time.I was trying to prepare for documents for NVC stage.

* Do NVC people accept emailed DS-3032,( is there any special format or my spouse can just scan signed DS-3032 and email to NVC)

* What all i need to send with I-864 ( which version of I-864 i should use) and i saw some people sent I-864 same day the I-864 bill was generated, how to do that? Do i have to wait untill NVC sents me package or i can just print the form USCIS , but then how to get bar code?

* what documents i need to send with DS-230? do they all have to be original (because my husband has to send me his original birth certificate,police clearance etc etc, and i am afraid these might get lost in mail or by NVC and its very hard to reproduce documents if we loose them)

So please advice us.

Thanks to all of you

GOOD LUCK and GOD BlESS EVERY BODY.

HOPE WE ALL GET THROUGH THIS JOURNEY SOON.

The Choice of Agent online form for me was within the area that everyone is having a hard time logging into. I'm not sure if it's available to everyone or specific countries only. I'm sure Saylin with know something about that.

The online DS-3032 form (called the DS-261) is only available to select countries, such as Canada.

NVC does accept the emailed DS-3032. Follow these instructions: http://www.visajourn...il_DS-3032_form

For the I-864, read this guide: http://www.visajourn...p/EZGuideSpouse It lists what you need to send with the I-864. Use the version that is currently available at the USCIS website. As soon as the AOS bill appears as PAID, you can send the I-864 package. Just make sure you print off the bar-coded coversheet on the payment portal site. You do not have to wait for NVC to send you anything.

For the DS-230 package, read the above link. It has everything you need listed as well. The civil documents need to either be the original or certified copy.

same thing, i can not login either. what can we do???

I can still log in today as well. Weird that you're still getting that problem...

Definitely not available to most countries. We're one of the lucky ones. There's a table at the bottom of this page that lists which countries can do EP and/or the online forms: http://travel.state..../info_5165.html

Got a reply from Mr. Badger today:

Mr. Grant

The approved I-130 is currently in the NVC.

The assigned NVC case number is BNK**************.

We will also reach out to the NVC manager and ask that the case be expedited from the NVC to the Consulate.

David Badger

OK, that is a sigh of relief knowing that it has been assigned a case number.

Thank you DAVID BADGER

[sarah et luc 7]

On the NVC site my IV fee changed from

App name Luc

Birth year 1988

Fee amount Blank

Payment status Not invoiced

to completely blank. except it says fee amount 0.00 The name and birthday has disappeared.

Is this normal? Are they generating a IV amount?

Saylin help! lol.

Um, lol, that is not normal. NVC might still be having problems with their system. I would call up an operator asap and ask about that. Cause I've never seen that happen
