NVC Filers - August 2012

[dwheels76 5,468]

You need to send a packet of muffins to SuperVisor Sue @ NVC, with a handwritten, personal note.

Darnell they must have heard muffins were coming. I got my emails got invoiced and AOS is in process. And it will be in the mail tomorrow with a monday delivery. I thought the coverletter wasn't available until it said PAID. Happy news. I could cry updating my timeline. wooo weeee. :dancing:

Is this Bar-coded AOS sheet for real off the portal. I just got invoiced paid the $88 and my bar-coded sheet is available so I printed. I thought it wasn't available until it said PAID. Should I wait or is this good?

I logged in and paid my AOS about an hour and a half ago and just received the email receipt. I'm also getting the same error now, so maybe an kink in the payment portal.

So do I send my AOS after i pay the fee or do I have to wait for the DS-3032 to be approved first?

Please remember, the AOS and IV are two separate tracks and have nothing to do with one another.

You can send the AOS package only after the AOS bill is appearing as PAID on the payment portal.

Just got my DS-3032 approved last night. Checking the invoice page all day so NVC can take my money!!!!

My I-864 was approved yesterday as well

Grats and grats!

NVC is so tricky -- it's like, I get 20 minutes into holding for someone to pick up and I'm like "do I hang up or do I keep waiting? I've come so far!!!!" *sigh*

Always stay on the line, don't hang up

Got my case number today! You can look at my timeline below to work out timeframes (11 business days i think)

Grats! NVC might be speeding up on assigning case numbers!!

Yup, it's real And the bar-coded cover sheets have been available after paying the bill (instead of after the bill appearing as PAID) for quite awhile now

OMG I think I am having separation anxiety. I don't want to part with my AOS. I need therapy. Help Saylin. hehe. I am loony with excitement. Or is that giddy. hmmm

I got that too at the same timeframe. You should be able to login now

that stuff isn't in the casefile, it's in HIS hands.

Want to get it INTO the casefile? Submit it with the DS-230.

Why get it into the casefile, you ask? Why, so an IV Officer can review it prior to interview day.

blech. need to chase that down. I sense you have a timing issue, somehow, or

NVC is really backlogged for finding emails.

have you re-read Ryan's topic about what he did during NVC Electronic Processing?

that is such great news ! See? Getting a Supervisor is useful ! Congratulations !

Thanks again Darnell, you're a savior!

[Jasontnyc 9]

I forgot to request my IIN number - does it have any use before the DS-3032 is accepted or am I fine to request the IIN in a couple of days?

As I read it, I can use it to check when I am invoiced, right?

Pros about sending them together: you save on postage

Cons about sending them together: you waste a few days (or more) that the AOS could have been sent to NVC and the review process started

Hum, usually i'd save on postage but I'm worried about getting a case complete before the next interview-assigning day. Does anyone know when that will be?

[Jamaican Luv 13]

Ok! But got my case number last nite. He said i have to wait on instructions before anything riiiggt.... i can send in ds3032? And what bout payment online? O glad i finally got it!
