Congrats. I am not sure that sending both AOS and IV packets together has anothing to do with your quick process but an experience is a good one to follow where possible. But I don't recommend anyone to wait on one completed set while they are working on the other, based on your response.

I am not sure if every consulate and embassy does this or not but we are getting these details from our consulate/ embassy. For example, I am giving my consulate link (the details are generally under Visas>Appointments) - http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/appointment_schedule.html

No, Its not about sending the packet toghether. its about sending all complete paperwork..and then pray and hope that someone at the NVC touch thier magical finger to your file to review and enter into the system wihtout giving a RFE...

I have a very bad news to share - I messed up totally and am having to send I-864 again - going to USPS Office.:bonk: :bonk: :bonk:

We had sent AOS on 8/3 and since we didn't get any response till 8/13, we send out an email with a copy of the AOS packet. By 8/15 the original AOS was processed and the case was closed on 8/15.

But our inquiry email was processed on 8/16 and they issued a RFE now asking us to send signed I-864 again. I tried to plead with a supervisor but she gave two option - i) she can put up to her highier authority to ignore the email but it will take time (20 business days) and then if they decide that I should send it, then it gets further delayed (20 business days) or ii) I submit I-864 quickly and it will get processed quickly (20 Business days).

The lesson I learned and I want other to be aware is never resend your documents in email.

So.. They have your original mailed documents that they processed but beause you had sent an email copy afterwards they are making you repeat the AOS step? That is HARSH!

They said that the one processed later wipes out the previous process. I argued stating that email sending of the AOS is not allowed and how they processed it. The supervisor said that she can do nothing as it will have to sent to the highier ups.

Yes, I messed up totally with my overenthusiasm and am paying the price.

Any news of your interview, as I saw that one of the UK guy got Oct 13th.

Seems like a lose-lose situation. Cost them more money, Cost you more time.. Hopefully they will step on the gas knowing the situation.

No news on the interview - I was thinking next week was the earliest I would hear something - I figured I would give DOS a call on Friday just to confirm and hopefully get a nice person that will consider pushing a date for me. I was happily suprised to see the UK october interview popping up this soon! Crossing my fingers for October 10 - that would be such a convienent day.

Wow, that really makes no sense whatsoever especially since they had already completed your case. Such a bummer. I hope they process the new I-864 very quickly and you'll be back on track for an October interview.
