NVC Filers - March 2012

I always suggest paperclips. Imagine being the reviewing officer. Which is easier to remove: paperclips or staples? Would you rather make your officer happy or ticked off that he has to remove staples? Your choice

Finally, IV fee bill invoiced and paid. One more step closer to going home!

Same Here !

I just got IV bill invoiced (email). Logged into payment portal and paid.

Status = IN PROGRESS :dance: :dance:

I was so excited that i forgot to pay using IE, instead i used Chrome!

Hopefully it will go fine!

Sent AOS package by E-MAIL, but in the body of the e-mail I had a typo on my petitioner date of birth.

They sent an e-mail confirming this, saying:

So, does this mean I have to resend the AOS through e-mail?

Yes, you'll have to re-send the email with the AOS attached. Before hitting the 'send' button, make sure you go over the email contents a few times to make sure all names are spelled correctly, birthdates are correct, and email addresses are right.

Don't worry about it. The only reason I suggest IE, is because with other browsers, if you hit 'pay' it doesn't go anywhere. But if you completed paying it, and it shows "in progress", then you're A-ok!

1) Funny thing that i've noticed is that when using Chrome, there seems to be timer with the login session and it logs me out automatically in few minutes etc...

but in IE, it doesn't. hmmm :wacko: :wacko:

2) Also wanted to ask you, what is the reasons for calling to check on AOS reviewed status? if there is no step after it.

Is it to know if they've any checklist for me?

Wouldn't you want to know when your AOS is being reviewed? Wouldn't you want to know either when your AOS has been accepted or a checklist has been issued?

If you don't care and/or aren't curious if your AOS has been accepted or not, then don't bother calling. But if something was found incorrect or missing, you'll waste a few days waiting for that checklist letter to arrive. But if you don't mind wasting time, then by all means, don't call.

Ok, it's been a week that I sent to NVC an electronic agent selection and still no answer! I sent three of them, one for me and two for each children, and I got the children's confirmation already, and for the last one I sent (the younger child) I already got the IV bill invoice a few minutes ago, so I just decided to resend mine again, let's pray it works this time!!!

[Saylin 1,605]

Got it!

I was always ecstatic to update my signature/timeline

on the IV bar-coded Document cover sheet.

the TO mailing address is below:

National Visa Center

Attn. CMR

31 Rochester Avenue Suite 100

Q's: should i put "Attn. CMR (IV)"? or just leave it as it is "Attn. CMR"

in AOS, it had "Attn. CMR AOS"
