Go go go! Update us when the packages are in the mail

Our electronic optin was accepted in less than a day. Still waiting for fees to be invoiced...and it strikes me as funny that they won't LET me pay them over $400!

Wow, one day! I had to wait 16 days for mine!

And don't worry, the AOS fee should be invoiced soon. And yes, it's kind of ironic that NVC won't let you give them $404 right away

Yeah, I was pretty surprised by that...at least I think this was the opt-in acceptance: Dear Sir/Madam: This case is now enrolled in the Electronic Processing Program...etc.

I woke up to two of the emails, actually, sent within a minute of each other. One responding to the first, incorrect case number I sent, but correcting it for me (the operator gave me the year 2011 instead of 2012), and then another for the corrected email I sent them.

Yup, that's the acceptance email

My case file has left to Cairo. I just tracked it and it is currently in the UK. How exciting. I wish I was on my way to my husband too! 26 more days before I get to see him again! It's been a long 7 months!

NVC is moving super fast!! My IV bill chanaged to paid also. I jumped the gun and mailed the package yesterday

Now its time to sit back and wait on CC!!

AOS invoiced and paid...electronic processing is flying by! *knock on wood*

[PantomimeGoose 59]

AOS Paid, just paid for the IV Bill and waiting to show as paid. C'mooooon case complete before February!

[Clark--Kent 4]

My IV bill shows PAID this morning!

I'm almost ready to send in my two packets.

Waiting for a letter from the bank in Japan showing my account information for the past year. I should have that near the beginning of next week and then the AOS packet will be sent.

For the IV, I'm waiting for a letter from the city office showing some info that my wife couldn't remember exactly for the IV application. That should be here by Monday at the latest, and then the IV packet will be sent.

I mailed the application for a PCC from the UK yesterday. I'm going to submit without it. It's not definite whether they will ask for it since her time there falls between 6 and 12 months. If I get a checklist, I figure I can mail it as soon as I have the certificate, which means I really will have wasted no time. Probably faster that way since they will have already gone through the rest of the packet and (hopefully) approved everything. If I get a checklist, I will also see if it's possible to bring it to the interview and not send it to NVC, although I'm sure you're all thinking "Good luck!" sarcastically about my chances of getting that done.

I have a question:

Can I send a scanned copy of our marriage certificate and his birth certificate? We sent the original marriage certificate with the I-130

We are preparing our IV p

acket......so nerveracking!!

[PantomimeGoose 59]

How have people been binding all these documents? I'm reluctant to punch holes in the birth certificate, marriage certificate etc.... Are y'all writing the case number on the originals somewhere too?

You were supposed to send a copy of certificates to USCIS. It said so in the instructions.

You're going to have to get certified copies then because NVC requires originals or certified copies of the marriage and birth certificates.

Just paper clip them together. Do not punch holes. And yes, it's suggested to write the case number on the top right of all pages of each package (except the bar code cover sheet and the cover letter). If you don't want to write in pen, you can always use pencil. Or even write the case number on a post-it note and attach one to each page.
