NVC Filers - January 2012

[Laure&Colin 558]

Seems like we're all pretty much at the same stage in NVC process!

If they review packages as fast as they invoice the fees, we could have a nice bunch of CCs coming this month

You know that's tied into 'DS-3032 added to the casefile', right ?

I thought that the DS-261 served as the DS-3032 for us because we're doing electronic processing? DS-261 was the choice of agent form.

sorry, I'm wrong about the form #, but is same logic though..

When the Agent of Choice Form

is

IN THE CASEFILE,

then that IV Fee Bill is available to be paid, at the portal, within 24 hours.

Right, okay, we filled that out last week, so we're just waiting.

Sigh. I got an email a couple of hours ago from NVC saying they can't open my attachment on the AOS. It was a standard pdf that I had reduced in size as per Saylin's instructions on the NVC for Montreal wiki. Called an operator who said the file was corrupted, so I should send a couple of files instead of compressing it all into one.

That's weird. Never seen anyone where NVC couldn't open the file due to being "corrupted".

Before sending it, did you try opening it?

Yeah, several times, and I'm still able to open it. Oh well, I think I managed to get it all sent in 3 files, with the cover sheet at the beginning of each file. Fingers crossed.

Weird... Try sending the file to another email address (if you have one), and see if you can open it. Although, you re-sent it already, so it doesn't matter, but I just find it curious.

Either way, good luck. Hopefully they can open it the next time!

try to open it in a lesser version of acrobat reader, on a different machine, soonish.

Maybe it's a 'version' problem, with the toolsets you used to create the files?

I am using Preview (the Mac pdf reader) to manipulate the files, but it shouldn't really matter...pdfs are supposedly to be universally readable, and there shouldn't be a version problem like with a .doc vs. .docx

My best guess is that the custom filter I created to compress the file (but not compress it as much as the standard filter) created the error. So this time I sent it without any compression.

Tech issues, such is life.

Well, your AOS fee status should change to PAID soon. Then you can send the AOS package, using the cover sheet linked in the receipt page of the portal.

Wait a little more for the IV fee to become active, and you'll be able to select it and to pay it too.

[Laure&Colin 558]

Since the AOS package was received by NVC yesterday, when do you think I can start calling to know if it was reviewed? Friday?
