Just got an email requesting:

IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION PART 1:_______________________

The National Visa Center is waiting for an Immigrant Visa Application to be submitted for this case.

The Principal Applicant and any other Applicants who will be accompanying him or her to the United

States must now download and complete an Immigrant Visa Application; please visit the following

website for instructions:

http://immigrantvisas.state.gov (click on the link for "submit Visa application and civil documents")

Please submit the Immigrant Visa Application form(s) and required supporting documents for each

Applicant in one package to the National Visa Center; sending this information separately will delay

your visa.

I'm assuming this is the checklist referred to in the FAQs that we should ignore if we have already submitted both the AOS and IV packages. But I just wanted to verify.

Congrats! Our AOS packet arrived the same date as yours.

But haven't heard anything from NVC yet :crying:

And IV packets just arrived one day after yours.

Hope we can hear any news soon

Yup, that's what we call a false checklist here on VJ. That's excellent news. This is a very good indication that your AOS package was reviewed and accepted. I suggest calling NVC asap and ask!

Yep! Just called. The AOS was accepted and they don't need anything else in regards to that. Now just waiting for the IV to be accepted.

hi guys! just wanted to ask again.. I sent my DS 3032 under my married name, is it right? or i should have use my surname when i'm still single? Will my husband receive an email for the invoices or anything?ur replies will be greatly appreciated.thank you!

First off, you're not single anymore, you're married (unless your profile and timeline are incorrect).

What name have you been using on the forms so far (should be the same name as in your passport)? Stay consistent.

If you gave over both email addresses to an operator once the case number was assigned, then all correspondence is sent by email.

Hi!! I got NVC case number yesterday and emailed DS-3032 (L)

Thank you very much for everyone here!!

All of the information here is very helpful :yes:

Grats on getting your case number! kicking.gif

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: Finally its over. VISA RECEIVED. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Grats, that was fast! kicking.gif

Yep! Just called. The AOS was accepted and they don't need anything else in regards to that. Now just waiting for the IV to be accepted.

Awesome! good.gif Hope your IV package is accepted soon!
