Yes, your husband can go ahead and fill out the form and print it out. He can place all documentation with it and be ready to make the payment and print the barcoded sheet to go with the packet. You can never be too ready!

You will need to supply the DS-230 with an original signature. My husband signed in blue ink and FedEx'd me a copy from Nigeria. I received it in 4 days and the cost was around 80 USD or =N= 11,000.

If you need anything else, let me know!

thanks dana, am sending out my police report and the DS-230 to him this week, will keep you updated on how it goes.

It's almost July, here's the monthly NVC thread. Frequently Asked Questions:

reginakrys
reginakrys

Either tax transcripts ordered from the IRS, OR tax returns PLUS W2's PLUS all applicable schedules - in short, everything you sent to the IRS.

reginakrys
reginakrys

If the petitioner answered YES to all 3 questions, that only gives him the option of filing I-864EZ instead of I-864. It doesn't mean they SHOULD use the I-864EZ - they MAY fill out either form.

Congratulations on your visa! How amazing! I will hopefully be following you to Sydney in a few months for our interview. How did it go? :)

I did call, and the fellow (very nice btw) said they were waiting on my AOS packet. Which was delivered last week. I am now starting to panic a little. Hopefully it just means they are still processing it? Maybe I will call back later to try a different operator. This is freaking me out. I hope they didn't lose it!

Thanks. I will post a review soon. It was easy and straight forward.

I wouldn't worry about your AOS package. They kept telling me they didn't have mine even though I knew it was delivered. It just means they are reviewing it.

Call again. You will get your case closed soon.

Just had our interviews this morning! APPROVED!!! Thanks to everyone here for your help, especially to master Saylin!!!

Guys!!!

I'm prepared for good news but let's check.

I called yesterday and the OP told me my AOS was reviewed already and they are now just waiting for my Civil Documents.

Good sign =) when I asked if it was accepted she said it will only be accepted at the interview day, but anyway,

If it was reviewed it means it was "accepted", right? :DDD

Another doubt, My IV was already delivered (yesterday), so now when it's accepted I will have the case complete? or takes a

little longer yet?

thanks a lot!

I wouldnt do all this without you guys!!! VJ roxxx!! \o/

I know that I should take anything an NVC operator says with a grain of salt, however....

I just got off the phone with them, asking if they had scheduled an interview for my husband yet. The woman told me that no, it hasn't been scheduled and they usually schedule interviews during the current month for the cases which were completed the previous month. Since my case was completed in July, the interview would most likely not be scheduled until August, which would mean a September/October interview date.

Really?!

A.P.P.R.O.V.E.D!!

Our interview could not have gone better. The officer was so nice, and we were in and out in just 10 minutes. Got our C-3 spot, so that helped. :)

Just can't believe that it's finally over! What a stressful and frustrating journey. But how rewarding it is in the end!!! Hubby got the email from Loomis today saying that they sent it out, so it should be here by Thursday, and then it's back to the states.

SO HAPPY!!!

Yea for you!! Good job.

Thanks Julie! Did you get an email from them with the fee bill? I believe I read somewhere it is an attachment you print off. Just trying to be sure of what I am looking for here.
