Just wanted a clarification. On the NVC Shortcut is said that operator no longer provides the Invoice #. We just got our case # today. I had forgot to ask them if they generated the Invoice. The operator did take down our email addresses. If I call back is it possible to get a Invoice # to pay the AOS fee?, or do we have to wait for them to email us the Invoice #?

They do provide you with the invoice number. Some operators are stingy about giving it out though. Call back and ask for it.

Darnell, you are not the only one that has been trying... sometimes you just gotta give up trying to help and put the energy on someone who appreciates it!

Sorry but provoking people isn't fun, nor is it polite/mature. If we are all stressed out, maybe we're coming in here to relax/get answers/feel BETTER...not worse. And for the record, every time I s

Yes, Darnell is is arrogant, with a touch of conceitedness thrown in. He's straight forward and to the point, he doesn't sugar coat it, to the point that it's sometimes rude. Sometimes that's what peo

Question....is it a problem that we never got our NOA2 hardcopy? It's been awhile and I'm thinking it got lost in the mail :-(

we received our hard copy a couple of days after the text and email we initially got... not sure...

Just wanted a clarification. On the NVC Shortcut is said that operator no longer provides the Invoice #. We just got our case # today. I had forgot to ask them if they generated the Invoice. The operator did take down our email addresses. If I call back is it possible to get a Invoice # to pay the AOS fee?, or do we have to wait for them to email us the Invoice #?

Has your case left NVC

Not sure but I called DOS yesterday and they told me it was not at the embassy. I asked a lady that was half asleep if it had left NVC....she said "prepare for your interview". I wanted to tell her that I authorize her much needed break. So I am "preparing for my interview"....:-)!

It's not a HUGE problem as you don't need the NOA2 for the interview or anything. But, it's still excellent to have for your records. I'd suggest calling up USCIS and inquiring about this. They may be able to re-send it. You didn't move from when you filed the I-130 petition, right?

Just wanted a clarification. On the NVC Shortcut is said that operator no longer provides the Invoice #. We just got our case # today. I had forgot to ask them if they generated the Invoice. The operator did take down our email addresses. If I call back is it possible to get a Invoice # to pay the AOS fee?, or do we have to wait for them to email us the Invoice #?

Not sure where you're reading that, but operators still do give out ALL numbers. Some may be finicky about it, but you just need to call back and ask for the 'invoice identification number'. Don't ask for the IIN, they won't know what you're talking about :P I'd suggest calling them back up pronto and asking for it. And don't worry, I did the same thing. I forgot something because of my excited-ness of getting a case number, so I had to call back laughing.gif

Yeah, you need to find out whether the case is still at NVC or not. Have you called up NVC and ask? Seems you're not having luck with the DOS operators :P

A little off the topic question here. I have been using Skype and Oovoo to video call my wife in the US but lately have been having too much trouble with video clarity and the voice cutting a lot as well and a delay in the sound as well. Does anybody know of a better video calling software. Tried yahoo messenger also yesterday in desperation but the video sucks.
