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.

Saylin,

Well looks like i got a Checklist for not matching the total income in q's #25 in i-864. :bonk:

Few Questions:

1) for the 3 years, were we suppose to use Total Income from Tax return transcript or from whats listed under: "(1) Wages, tips, other comp." in W2? because the Operator said "Total income did not match exactly with whats on W2"....?

I went over the i-864 and found out that 2010, and 2009 amount for "Total income" matches with whats on the Tax return transcript.

But for 2008, looks like i put amount from "Adjusted Gross Income, instead of Total Income.

GRRRRR i hope that is the issue. :( I don't know what that operator was talking about not matching with whats on W2. The operator wasn't able to tell me more details on it, said to email NVC, which i did but i'm going to call again today.

2) So i guess i have refill the form and mail again. i doubt they will ask for full packet, just the i-864, right? Operator said the checklist went out yesterday 3/19/12, so don't know when i'll get it.

3) Do I mail out the corrected I-864 before getting an official Checklist from NVC?

4) if so, then separately from IV packet because i'm going to mail that out also.

5) Do i need to include the "AOS bar-coded doc cover sheet" with the corrected I-864? anything else with it that went with the initial AOS packet?

thank you! :blush:

Dear Saylin:

I apologize for being persistent on this topic, and I really do appreciate all the feedback and helpful hints you've been giving us on these threads.

My case is the following:

My lawyer sent the AOS and IV packages to NVC on March 5th. As of yesterday, the packages are not in the system yet, so the review has not been initiated. The operators tell me that I have to wait 20 days after the packages have been sent. By other peoples' timelines, I'm observing that AOS and IV packages sent and delivered after us have started to be reviewed. I am aware that this is not an exact science and processing times do vary according to each case and different circumstances.

Unfortunataley, the problem is that my lawyer sent the package with priority mail but no tracking number. So I have no way of knowing if and when the packages were delivered. My question is whether once the 20 days waiting period has passed, if NVC can somehow confirm to us if the package is in the builing or not. Should I speak to a supervisor passed this waiting period if they keep telling us that it's not in the system?

I thank you in advance for any guidance you may offer me.

Ask your lawyer if he did include the bar-coded coversheet on top of the package.

If he really sent them on March 5th, you should know by now. They should be in review or already accepted, since it's been 2 weeks. Grill your lawyer.

I have longed for someone, someone like you - to share my life with... all the ups and downs and everything in between. then out of no where - you walked into my life, quenching my thirst, satisfying my longing. and I know from every thing with in - that you are the one... you're the one I've been waiting for all this time. I want and I need you - more than I can usually find words to say... But today and always - please believe and know that you're the one for me and I'll hold you close and I'll never want to let you go...

Hi Laure,

Yes, she included the bar-coded coversheets.

I sent her several emails inquiring about the package and the waiting period, and she keeps telling me the same answer as the operators: "you have to wait up to 20 days for processing to begin." I also told her that I was very surprised she had not sent the package with a tracking number, to which she responded that this would have cost me an additional fee. I could give a rat's *** about the fee, I just can't believe she didn't give me the option of deciding, since I would have obviously preferred to track the documents.

This is quite frustrating, since right now I can't guarantee that the package has arrived at all, and I keep getting the same lovely answer by all the operators at NVC.

re: additional fee for tracking -

WHEN one uses the online usps.com site to purchase priorty mail shipping postage, the tracking is added in for free.

:crying:

Dump her. What kind of lawyer sends original documents as important as marriage certificates and police records without a secured tracking system???

Now how much is the tracking? A handful of $$? Something like .5% of the total cost of the visa? She's a m*r*n.

Did she also send them regular speed? Not express or overnight? That would explain why you see members who sent their packages later being ahead of you now.

You may try to speak to a supervisor at the NVC but I'm really not sure if they can check that your packages were received. As you already know, the system won't show them until the review has started, so they would have to make a special research for you. If I were you, I would try, if only for peace of mind.
