OK, I woke up today late, long story, I lost my job on Friday, Things are not going well with the wife either, life seems to be at its lowest point right now. But today I guess there was some positivity. I got an email back after my NVC inquiry. They sent me the AOS Invoice and the choice of agent form. I was happy to finally receive my NVC case number. I first sent the opt in email for the electronic processing. Next I paid the AOS fee. I then printed out my AOS Document coversheet and was now going to email my AOS package. But I remember I should wait for the opt in email to be accepted first? I did receive the auto response. I then went to the forms portal and filled out the Choice of Agent form. What is the next step, wait for EP to be accepted? Everything is happening at once!

What is the main cause if a " Check list" ? been looking at ppl timelines n it seems like nvc hands them out like freshly baked cookies.

I was given a check list because they didn't accept the marriage termination document I sent in with the IV packet. Turns out that I sent the right one and after some further investigation on their end they accepted it and my case was closed.

Check lists are to the NVC what RFEs are to the USCIS. It basically means something is missing from your case that is preventing it from being closed.

OK, I woke up today late, long story, I lost my job on Friday, Things are not going well with the wife either, life seems to be at its lowest point right now. But today I guess there was some positivity. I got an email back after my NVC inquiry. They sent me the AOS Invoice and the choice of agent form. I was happy to finally receive my NVC case number. I first sent the opt in email for the electronic processing. Next I paid the AOS fee. I then printed out my AOS Document coversheet and was now going to email my AOS package. But I remember I should wait for the opt in email to be accepted first? I did receive the auto response. I then went to the forms portal and filled out the Choice of Agent form. What is the next step, wait for EP to be accepted? Everything is happening at once!

I'm so sorry about your job and that things with your wife are not going well. This process is stressful and losing your job doesn't help. I hope that now that things are finally moving with your case, you and your wife will get back on a positive track. You've been waiting for a long time for NVC to even receive your case, so congratulations on that finally being resolved! Hang in there and focus on the positive movement with NVC, which brings you and your wife closer to being together.

If you have your AOS package ready to go, I would e-mail it now. Did you get the confirmation e-mail that your Optin for EP has been accepted? I had to send mine twice and the second time, the confirmation e-mail stating that "This case is now enrolled in the Electronic Processing Program." was received less than an hour after. Once your DS-261 is confirmed, then the wait starts for the IV bill to be invoiced. Hopefully it won't take very long.

Good luck with everything and please keep us updated on your progress.
