Cognratulations!!!!!!!

Thanks! Gray

Thanks Way2Go.

I am just off the phone with NVC - they messed up in assigning the right NVC Case number and need to change it but not the IIN (gave number starting with BMB instead of MDR). They are supposed to check the assignment using the state provided in the address of the beneficiary (the rep just did search it using the state and said that it will take 10 - 15 days to correct - standard reply). This is confirm that question 22 of I-130 is not the basis (as many of us thought) in assigning the US consulate. This question is relevant only for beneficiary who was in US at that time.

All the cases are at NVC only - they were providing case numbers to VSC qucikly, as those were very few and confused all of us. There is huge backlog at NVC due to CSC approving record number of petitions - added to that was 4th July long weekend and summer vacation. Those of us who got case number & IIN, will not get to pay the fee until another 7 - 10 days, as they haven't yet entered the full details into their system.

Everything is going to be a little slow but at least the cases are not lost - thank God.

NVC is holding up the things :bonk: , I thought they are pretty quick in processing the case. Damn that's not a good news NavyK.

anyways thanks for the headsup.

Congrats.

My case was sent wrongly to Mumbai. I called and they verified the address of the beneficiary and are in the process of changing it to Chennai. The beauty is I am asked to continue with the process using my BMB....NVC Case number and the Invoice Identification doesn't change.

So call NVC and get the wrong one changed to the right Consulate. Meanwhile continue with the next step (send DS-3032 immediately) - in 4 - 5 days you will be allowed to pay AOS fee.

But I was asked by the NVC rep to wait until I get the Case Directed to Chennai and it can take any where from 10 - 15 business days, I am loosing a lot of precious time.( I have one that is assigned to Mumbai and one to Chennai). I am confused should I continue or should I wait for the correction.

That is what they told me when I requested for change, the very next day I got the NVC Case number. Then when I got AOS fee, I called again and ask them what I am supposed to now. And they said that I can continue with further processing, as they can transfer all the records from the current case number to the new case number. Once you get the AOS fee email or the NVC payment web site is open for AOS fee payment, call them again and discuss.

By the way which is your wrong consulate! May I ask you to click on your time lines icon and update your time line!

Ours was sent June 23, and we waited for the 30 days before contacting them, mostly due to the fact that we were in the same country for the first time in 8 months when we got the approval, so we were enjoy the company of the 3 of us been together again. After a week of ringing them, my husband finally got annoyed and actually spoke to a human, and after emailing them within a week we got a case number, and we have paid the fee. Just waiting for it to go from process to been paid. Its a fun game to play, but it was nice to know that we weren't the only ones in the same boat with waiting on NVC.
