Late April/May NVC Filers

[Sarah101 5]

You can pay what shows to be paid. My Hubby paid both fees at the same time.

Good luck

thanks how ling does it take IV fee to be generated after we email NVC ? How do we know that ds3032 was accepted ?

I am just browsing this thread...still waiting on NOA2 Approval...looks like around late July here.

Anyways, What's the consensus on sending the IV and AOS packets. Together, separate? I have heard mixed responses on this.

Thanks in advanced.

You send them according to what you paid, together or not. You absolutely need each bar code page (AOS & IV) for both packages.

My case it took only 2 working days, but some people got it after 2 weeks or so

I called and provided his and mine email address , the operator was very friendly . I emailed my DS3032 . Now what happens? Can my husband pay AOS and IV fee together or he first has to pay AOS and then IV fee will be generated ?

Please remember, the AOS and IV are completely separate tracks. They are not connected at all.

The first track is pay the AOS bill, wait for it to appear as PAID, print the barcoded cover sheet, mail in the AOS package.

The second track is mail and/or email the DS-3032, wait for acceptance, once accepted the IV bill will be invoiced, pay it, wait for it to appear as PAID, print the barcoded cover sheet, mail in the IV package.

Now, of course, you don't have to do anything immediately, so if you wanted to wait to pay the AOS and IV bills at the same time, you can. If you want to wait to mail the AOS package at the same time as the IV package, you can.

Both ways will be accepted by NVC; it doesn't matter. The only thing that does matter is that both are clearly marked, one as the AOS package and the other as the IV. And that both have the barcoded cover sheets as the first page.

Got SIF today, yay!

Quick question...do I have to keep calling them to ask if my case is complete? Or will it say it in the AVR?

Thanks. Hope the rest of you good folks get those RFE issues sorted out soon!

Grats on the SIF!

The AVR will update a day or two after your case is complete, so if you don't want to call an operator, then just listen to the AVR over the next few days.

Thanks Saylin! You are always so quick to respond

Cool, just called and was informed that my case is now complete. That was quicker than I thought! Glad I called.

So...FINALLY got my police certificate back after 25 days, when it's supposed to only take 7-10 days here! No big deal....only held me up for 2 weeks!

Got an RFE for the missing IV package...no surprise there. Sent it the same day I got my police certificate back...so now just waiting for SIF and CC...hopefully without anymore hold-ups!!

Hope everyone else is well!

In regards to my RFE, I called up the NVC operator making sure that I should send my entire package again (per first operator) because it states on the RFE letter to send in the required documents. Let me just say I wish I hadn't. She was the WORST NVC operator I've ever spoken to, she sounded like she had no clue what I was explaining to her, she kept telling me to call up agencies in Thailand and request my birth certificate since I was born there...I felt like saying "hello Stupid, I just told you records beyond 20 years are not kept, and they cannot find it, which was why the UN issued me a letter of seal in liu of my birth certificate, what do you not understand?!?!"....anyways, she was pretty worthless so I just hung up on her while she was in silence for at least 10 seconds using up any brain cells she had left to put together what I had just explained to her.

I received an e-mail last night confirming that they are currently reviewing my RFE documents, and should take another 20 business days...

Well that took awhile! Do you know why it took so much longer than the normal timeframe to get your PCC? Either way, you finally got it and sent it off, so grats! Hopefully you get a CC soon!

Wow... She definitely sounds like a very unhelpful operator. Good job on hanging up on her I would have done the same. Try calling again and asking your question, but hopefully you get a different operator that actually understands what you're saying and can help. Good luck!
