NVC Filers - March 2012

[Divs 35]

I just spoke to an operator at NVC who told me that my case is being entered into the system as we talk. What does that mean? Moreover, he said to give a call again on Friday for the case number.

That sounds like a case number will be assigned soon. I suggest calling later today, in the evening, and see if one is assigned.

I called today, was told it takes about 15 days for NVC to receive case from USCIS.

This Thursday will be 1week since NOA2 date. I'll call back Tomorrow and on Thursday.

And yay, I finally get poutine!

It's yours whenever you want it. The funny thing is that hubby saw the email first and then told me to check mine usually it is the other way round. i have a couple of questions about the medical which I will ask on the Canada forum later today as I am frantically trying to get house ready to sell.

Now some info I wanted to share with everyone: in our March interviews thread, someone who had their interview yesterday in Manila was asked for their 2011 tax return + W2. It's actually the only thing the CO asked for! They had everything and got approved. Be prepared to bring your 2011 tax forms (you might not have the transcript yet) EVEN if your interview is BEFORE April 17th!!

Thanks for advising this. Our interview is April 10 and I was assuming that there was a high possibility of being asked for 2011 tax returns.

I can't believe how excited I am.

Oh, to have this level of confidence and assurance, for lack of better word.

I'll take the poutine asap! Haven't had any in forever!

And for your question on the medical, you can PM me if you wish

Actually not at all. We have a little issue of "evidence of domicile in the United States".

Ah, that is problematic. Though, at least a little more cut and dry than "What mood is the VO in today?"

you should 'join up' these two cases at NVC. Once ya do that, it's solely ONE AOS fee bill for both casefiles.

How to do? Call into NVC, use a Telephone, get a Human, and inquire.

also - you need to OPT IN for the step-daughter, for EP, as well. is same process as the wife.

Thanks. I called NVC, and was told that I should follow the normal process for my step-daughter's case. They will schedule the interview on the same day.

I'll enroll her to EP.

Thanks

Jing, could you please update your timeline so we can more accurately help you. I'm going to assume that the cases were already combined, if not then you need to request NVC combine them asap. Since the cases are combined you only make one AOS payment. This is for both your wife and daughter. Since you paid it for your wife the cover sheet will have her name, you use that cover sheet for both. I paid it first for my Step-daughter and used her AOS cover sheet for both. I also sent them together in the same package asking them to be process together. You can use your wife's email address for your daughter if she doesn't have one. I sent DS-3032 for my wife and step-daughter from my wife's email address(My step-daughter is 7). The email has to be sent from your wife's email address, if you can access it then you can send it but it has to be from her email address. But you need to make sure the cases are combined first and foremost.

Thank you for your info. I called NVC today. The officer told me that they will schedule the interview on the same day, it's not going to be two separate date. The processing is going to be the same. So I'm going to enroll her to Electronic processing first (and DS-3032) and see what steps are there next.

Both email that we received has attachment in the PDF form which contains:

Info about the case + choice of address and agent--Since my wife already emailed them the choice of agent so I am not gonna send another-(right)?

Does that mean they have accepted the 3032 sent to them from my wife's email?

The payment portal has AOS ready to be paid, should I go ahead and pay it ? ( Don't have to wait for anything else I supose?)

Awesome. Now you should go ahead and pay the AOS fee. how far are you from getting your AOS and IV folder ready?

You will receive a separate email about accepting your DS3032.

Just sent off AOS, my case should be complete in a couple of days

[Aneel 3]

Thanx Tango for the quick read and reply,

Yes, Hopefully by Monday I will have all the documents ready to be sent. I am just waiting for my Uncle to receive his 2011 business tax done through his accountant everything else is ready to be mailed.

I already paid the AOS just now and printed the receipt for my records.

Now as soon as it is paid, I will print the barcoded paper from the site and start organizing docs to be sent.

Wow, things are moving faster than I imagined!
