NOA2 received so fast, not ready.

[VanessaTony 3,567]

It is extremely hard for me to fly out for an interview to accompany my husband before April, and I would love to accompany him for POE. I would rather take my time with NVC than have to cancel and reschedule an interview. Then I may really get a very late date. If I am able to complete my case at NVC by March/April, I am estimating I will get an interview by May.

Ooohhh okok That makes sense then! You want to delay the INTERVIEW until April. Okay

OP: You can start calling NVC in about a week, they might have your case number then. I'd call the AVR until it updates with your case number, then get in contact with an operator to give them your email addresses (yes, both yours and your hubby's). Giving them your emails opts you into electronic communication from NVC.

The NVC case number is the equivalent of your USCIS case number. The BIN (beneficiary id number) is only used with countries eligible for electronic processing. You will need the IIN (invoice id number) in order to log into the payment portal.

Email the NVC with the DS3032 after their first email to you, which will include a copy of the Choice of Agent form. You don't have to send that exact form, but use the template here on VJ.

You can delay on paying the fees. It's not going to harm the case any. Or, you can choose to pay the fees right away, and then delay on sending in the paperwork. (I personally did the latter.) Either way, it'll be fine.

Hey VJ.

I am the USC petitioner.

I need some help. I was not planning to get my NOA2 so fast. I got it today. It's only been 4 weeks! My husband and I were not planning for him to come till late april/early may so we decided it's best to delay the case a bit. For many reasons, it's best for us to wait. However, I want to make sure I do things right. I read some wiki guides, but i'm still a little confused about what to do next.

1. When do I call NVC to get a case number?? Do I still need to get a invoice identification number? What is the difference between that and a case number? Additionally, I would provide my email as well as my husbands....correct?

2. When do I email the DS-3032?? Right after I get the information above from NVC?

3. Since I want to delay the case a bit, do I have to pay the fees (AOS and IV) asap? Or can this be delayed too?

4. If the fees cannot wait and I pay them soon, is this where I halt, and wait on sendings AOS and IV packets since I would like to delay the case for a couple of months?

AGAIN, I read the guides, and I'm still a little confused. Thanks in advance!!

WOW! congratulations STEPHANIE.. from Stephanie that was very fast.. i wish you guys the best! you're very lucky

For those that wants the process to be delayed being approved sooner than for those that don't like waiting.... oh what in the world????? Maybe I should just thinking about delaying my process! hahhaaha

Congrats...

Calling NVC in a couple weeks... Then delaying in paper work... should get you to the date you want for the interview I think.

An NVC operator will tell you the date they received the file.

What a comment on life tho. Those that wish to be done fast are waiting and the one that needs to go slow sets a record of only 4 weeks. Wow.

I know... I wish I had the luck. I was hoping for Christmas gift to be done with my case but impossible now. I guess I will just continue to wait, my file was sent to CSC not VSC and CSC apparently is snoring away....

We have a similar situation. Our CR-1 is going through at breakneck speed. Far faster than expected. I-130 approval in 5 days and now the NVC is processing very quickly as well. My wife and I live together outside the US and she wasn't planning on leaving her job outside the US and proceeding with her move to the US until later in 2012. We are financially far better off outside the US right now. Given the double-digit unemployment rate in the US, we are in no hurry to leave secure jobs outside the US for the near term as we do not have jobs waiting for us when we arrive.

If our IV Invoice was marked paid this morning, how long are we allowed to delay submission of our Visa Application? We are submitting electronically to Montreal.

Thanks!

I am jaw dropped like this as well, .

Wow. Amazing. Congrats. Are you in military?

Being in the military in most cases only makes things harder
