My wife, a USC, applied to bring her parent to the U.S. last year. Thus far we've gone through the normal process and the last thing we did was to pay the visa fee and the affidavit of support fee. Since that time we had not received any communication from NVC neither had her parents. Last week i sent an inquiry regarding the case. This morning they replied, saying they had received the fees and that we should not fill out the Affidavit and the Visa application.

Being that this reply is written by a subcontractor (Serco, Inc.)...

Should I trust this?(I've read some not nice things about Serco)

The normal process should be that NVC contacts us when they need us to continue the process. Should I wait for NVC to formally send the Doc's to fill out as they should through the normal process or should I just go ahead and do what the reply to the inquiry says?

Has anyone had this experience in the past?

Thank you for any advice!

The thing is, I can't call because my wife is the one who applied and her English is not good. Do they have Spanish speakers?

You can call for her and be a rep all you need are the case #, beneficiary name and DOB and petitioner name and DOB. I believe they also have Spanish speaking operators but am not sure, just try and see.

But i was told by them since i never received the AOS packet for the IV packet in the mail that once the payment posted (you can check online with your case # and invoice #; https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx

If the fees are posted as PAID then you can send in the AOS forms and the IV form.

But call them first since you are sending original documents with the IV packet.
