NVC Filers - February 2012

[Rujby 23]

Anything is possible. Back when I was at NVC, both payments were accepted the next day after paying them.

What if i call and inform them that the payment has been made, wouldn t that have them take a look in their system and have the money cleared after my call?

No, the issue is how long it takes for an ACH transaction (more or less an electronic check) to process between NVC and your bank. It is less a matter of them doing anything in particular and more a matter of the various systems processing the money transfer.

When I review the tales of folksen with lawyers here on VJ - I've only read 1 account of things going fast at NVC BECAUSE of the lawyer. The rest of these reports? Folk complain here, cry, curse the God because their lawyer caused un-needed delays.

You can have it good, fast or cheap. Pick 2.

If only lawyers would adopt LingChe's process for 'superfast NVC processing' then a lot of this pain and silliness (from them) would disappear. I have no respect, what so ever, for lawyers who swim in the immigration pond.

Agreed. Of course, one of the most common threads seems to be lawyers who have been "doing this for years" and have an attitude of knowing all there is to know. As I mentioned earlier, even the nicest person who has helped me with this process has, at times, had the same "I've been doing this for years and what you're saying can't possibly be true" attitude at times.

Does the system starts proceed automatically that i finish the transaction on the portal?

You hit "pay", various systems go to work. Nothing more to be done on your part.

Hum.... do you know how the system inform them that the transaction is completed? do they have to do some check or the system will inform them about the completion so that they can start the reviewing

Not off hand no. Being familiar with such systems I can tell you there are a number of ways they *could* have it setup. The short answer would be there should be something in their system that would take note of the completed payment and then set a flag somewhere that it is paid and to proceed to the next step.

I am about to submit my AOS package via EP. Should both AOS Cover Sheet and Payment Receipt be included? The payment portal says to print AOS cover sheet unless EP, but Ryan suggested to ignore that and include it anyway.

You don't need the payment receipt (I did not include that). I did include the cover sheet.

Got an RFE for my AOS... I sent my birth certificate on Tuesday, the got it on Wednesday but now it seems NVC have slowed down. Its taken them forever to process a birth certificate. I think I am beginning to have stomach ulcers from this process. Its tiring emotionally. I hope I get case completed early next week.

wondering... I completed the DS-261 AOS and sent in the supporting documents by EP... Question is, now that I've paid the IV fee and completed the DS-260 IV application, do I need to re-send my civil documents?

Why did they ask for your birth certificate for the AOS package?

To prove the relationship between my joint sponsor and I

[Rujby 23]

People the system shows pay, can i come them ?

the system shows pay, can i call them?

[Amanda&Elvio 12]

To prove the relationship between my joint sponsor and I

Hmm. My joint sponsor is my dad. We have the same last name and address but perhaps I should also include my birth certificate just to be super obvious that we are related.

All,

I called NVC and they said that my packet had generated a checklist for my Wife's original birth certificate, which I submitted in the packet!. I have not received an email or anything, it was just over the phone. My lawyer said to wait and that sometimes they generate these checklists mistakenly then send the packet off to the embassy a week later. What should I do????????

[Rujby 23]

People the system shows paid, my wife call them bank and she was told that the money was not taken from the account, is that normal?
