NVC Filers - June 2012

[Saylin 1,605]

Sure do! All of our originals are in a folder ready to go, and Brian's medical is this Wednesday.

any recommendations of things to see in Montreal? We've both been wanting to go for so long, and luckily enough, we'll be there! Hah! I'm glad it's not in the middle of nowhere!!! lol.

Glad you're prepared!

I suggest you talk to Sheeshka. She and her husband spent like 2 weeks in Montreal and did a bunch of sight-seeing! If you like Star Wars, I highly suggest you check out the Star Wars exhibit currently showing at the Montreal Science Center. I went there while I was visiting Canada and loved it! There's also Mont-Royal to check out. And if you're up for it: La Ronde (Montreal's amusement park).

What do u guys think about getting some vaccines before the medical exam??

I definitely recommend it if you're missing vaccines as it'll most likely be cheaper than getting them done at the panel physician.

Checked the payment portal today. My info (petitioner) has totally disappeared, while my husband's info (beneficiary) is still showing. I hope this means they're working on my AOS invoice. Keeping my fingers crossed that we get at least one invoice and the 3032 acceptance this week.

Now if only the IRS will get my 2011 transcript available for ordering! I think that's going to be the thing that holds us up. How embarrassing, since I was certain my husband would be our hold up with his procrastinating on ordering his police certificate-but that thing showed up in record time. I'm going to owe him one

Wat about tests like hepatitis where u have to take them 4 weeks apart? Can he take the 3rd when he gets here?

Okay Called again for 3rd time now not satisfied with the 2nd call, this time I got IIN and BIN!

see this people? thats why we need to call more often & if not clear and needs more clarifications CALL again.

So I will send my DS3032 now. happy to have my case number.

Do NVC operator give NVC case number and IIN at the same time? I got only NVC case number from operator today.

You have to ask them for the Invoice Identification Number. When I finally got our case number, I asked for my Invoice Identification Number as well during that call.

Don't ask for your "IIN", they won't know what you're asking for. If you call back and ask for it, hopefully you'll get someone who will give it to you. Some of them don't want to give it out and tell you to wait for the e-mail (if you've given over your e-mail addresses). Just call back again and ask the next rep you get. One of them is bound to give it to you.

Thanks! Going to call NVC again and hope I get a good operator and gives IIN number without any issues.

Hi,

I did not file my 2011 taxes because i was going to wait until my husband received his SSN. Since I am due a refund.

I have all my info entered in Turbo Tax but even if i file Married (separately) I need his SSN.

and since I am not single i can't file single, correct??? I thought the New Delhi embassy would give me trouble if I did this.

I have mailed my AOS with 2011 W-2s. very worried I may get a RFE.

Any advise?

I just called NVC again and female operator was very nice and polite. She immediately gave me IIN number and also waited for a minute for me to login to their website and see case status (typically I have seen operators are in always hurry to finish the call as soon as attended).

My case status in their portal:

AOS Fees: Not Paid (Pay button active, but when I clicked it says "NOT INVOICED")

IV Fees: Not Available (Pay button disabled)

From their portal it seems I have to wait for few days to get AOS fees invoice generated to make a payment. Is that correct?

My case number just got generated today and I provided mine and my wife's email address to NVC. My wife has not yet received an email from NVC to send Choice of Agent form.

Should I go ahead and send choice of agent email to NVC from my wife's email address now? Or should I wait until she receives an email from NVC?

I filed as married filing separately and had my spouse's name on it. She doesn't have an SSN yet either. I had it done professionally and received a refund already. I will amend when she is finally here to married filing jointly.

It usually takes a few days for the e-mails to be sent out. One with the case information and one with the AOS billing information. Once you get the AOS invoice e-mail, your AOS bill should be ready to be paid so check the payment portal then.

I would send the DS-3032 e-mail now. Just make sure to check with NVC that it was received and accepted in the next day or so. I had problems with my Choice of Agent being accepted (had to submit it again) and it slowed me down by 2 weeks in completing my case, since it delayed the release of our IV bill.

great! I will send DS-3032 today. Are you suggesting to call NVC everyday from tomorrow until I get confirmation from them?

Run through all my papers, now laying down and ready for tomorrow for the interview. I am not nervous and I'm so surprised that im not... I'm so calm and not excited. Just knowing that I will be approved makes me more calm
