NVC Filers - June 2012

[sunshine_84 11]

Hi Saylin - Not to be a mule, but what is the authority for emailing the DS-3032 in the first place?

When you got your case number from NVC operator you may have provided petitioner and principal applicant's (i.e. beneficiary) email address, correct? If so, NVC will accept DS-3032 email sent from principal applicant's email address.

Hi,

The email for the DS 3032 request was sent out on June 13 and had then received a automated response. Havent yet received the acceptance and whenever I call up the NVC they keep saying "havent received it yet", or that "it might be in a queue not yet checked". Having taken a week already, I'm wondering if I should be trying to resend this email just in case it didnt go through the first time, and if resubmitted would the first request be ignored?

Would you suggest resending, or waiting a few more days for a response? Thanks

I would give it another day or two. I sent on 13th as well and received an email on 19th. You should receive soon.

Your AOS bill should be invoiced in 1 to 2 days.

Oh yes. The IV bill has been paid. After it was paid I received an e-mail with a bar code cover sheet. That's teh one I printed and sent in the package.

I guess I should update my timeline, eh?

lollll yepperz, 1st comandment of Visa Journey's- Update Your Timeline lolllll.

I think at the begining of every Thrend a guy shoud be there, not for you who honestly forgot but for those who dont even care. Timelines really do help ppl out.

CASE COMPLETE!!! Exactly one week after DS-230 package was delivered.

The operator asked me to call back around July 20. I asked why so long? She said July interviews have been scheduled already. August interviews will be scheduled in mid-July. And before I could ask a couple more questions ... "Thank you for calling the National Visa Center, Goodbye [Click]". Rude!

Ok, I'll call back tomorrow then

1st of COngratzzzzzzz

2nd of all, you were a victim of attitude ceral lolllll.

Thanks! Yes, I will not give up on calling, now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

I would say I am only 2 weeks ahead of you. I lost one week because my DS-3032 reached NVC too soon! I sent it on 5/23 as soon as I received the case number. The day they received it (5/30), they replied saying that the case is being processed at this time and DS-3032 has not been generated yet. So I had to send it again on 5/30. If I were to do it again, I would have waited 1 day after receiving the case number and then sent DS-3032.

We also had a couple of hiccups in sending DS-230 and lost 3 days there. So if you time this right (send DS-230 package by Friday), you might have your case complete before July 4. Good luck to you! I hope you also get the interview in August. Keep us posted!

We got IV bill invoiced last night and already paid in the portal system. I am planning to send it thru Overnight shipping so it will be in their office by tomorrow. But before mailing the package I am waiting to see "pending" transaction posted in my bank account.

CASE CLOSED WOOOOO

Dear Sir/Madam:

All documentation necessary to complete the National Visa Center's processing of your case has been received. As soon as an interview date has been scheduled, the applicant, petitioner and attorney (if applicable) will be notified.

The applicant should NOT make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until the US Embassy or Consulate General has issued a visa.

The US Embassy or Consulate General may require additional documentation at the time of the interview.

Regards,

WHATS NEXT? HOW DO I SCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT??? OR DOES IT GO BY ITSELF

CASE CLOSED WOOOOO

WHATS NEXT? HOW DO I SCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT??? OR DOES IT GO BY ITSELF

for CR1/IR1 once case is completed your file will be on queue waiting for an interview slot from the embassy.. no need to schedule it yourself as nvc will be the one to communicate with your embassy...

call NVC to know about your interview schedule or you can opt to wait for their email... but as suggested by mostly everyone and the guru Saylin better call everyday i would call everyday after my case will be completed:)

[Hundredquestions 0]

That's just for K1s. For IR-1/CR-1s, there are no fees at the consulate/embassy. Well, there could be a courier fee, but that's it.

Thanks Saylin

Can I start calling the NVC Now LOL

Sent IV package didn't wait for IV status to show PAID, but after sending the package recheck payment portal & it shows PAID.

[Vilya 5]

And I am sure EVERYONE on this forum appreciates that

And how! I don't know what I would do without the knowledge and support of Saylin and the other VJ folks. Probably implode out of sheer frustration.

Congratulations to everyone who has received good news today!

Our IV fee was accepted today and we are now completely paid up. Frustratingly, I'm still awaiting my 2011 tax transcript, as well as my husband's packet o' forms. Hopefully the transcript will be here in a day or so. And my husband promises to have his stuff express mailed to me by Monday. So I am crossing my fingers that I will be able to drop both packets into the mail around the 1st few days of July. A case complete would be a great birthday gift for the both of us, as our birthdays fall on the 11th and 14th of July. Here's hoping!

Best of luck to all those waiting.

I paid my IV fees last night and it's in process. I went ahead and mailed the package this morning and it will be delivered tomorrow morning.

Hi Saylin,

Now that we got SS# card, we got a letter stating appointment for Biometrics.

Is this when we the GC?

Whats this Biometrics about?

thanks!

Yay, grats!

Make sure you keep an eye on the forms portal as well so you can submit the DS-261 online.

Anybody that sent their IV package on June 14th (received in NVC on June 15th) with case complete as of today?

For all My VJ Friends I just wanted to share that upon POE we were advised by the CBP Officer to visit a SSA Office to request a SSN regardless of whether or not you marked to receive one automatically on your DS-230. Therefore, we went to a SSA Office 2 days after POE but they told us that she was not registering in the system yet because she had just gotten to the US and that they will give us a call letting us know. They said however we didn't have to go back. And ... Today! we got a phone call from the SSA (wasn't expecting a call at all) letting us know that our SSN is now in the system and that we will be getting our card in the mail in about a week!! Woohoo!!
