NVC Filers - September 2012

[Saylin 1,605]

Just got mine - and now paid!!

It says In Process but I was able to print out the barcoded cover sheet - Can I send my AOS tommorow or do I need to wait for anything else? I wasn't sure if it had to go from IN PROCESS to PAID first?

Grats!

I suggest waiting until the bill shows as PAID. Technically, yes, you can send it. But if something goes wrong with payment, then it can cause delays with your package. You can keep the bar-coded cover sheet you printed out though; it shouldn't change; it's just available sooner (compared to last year where it was only available after the bill showed as PAID).

Just read the instructions for AOS again and noticed it says the I-864 must be in all CAPITAL letters! So much for being 100% complete. Going to fill the form out again with the CAPS LOCK again before sending

Don't worry about capital letters. Mine wasn't and had no problems.

I read earlier you should wait to be sure it goes through. Some people had their payment fail.

Mine is marked as PAID this morning (both AOS and IV).

I am going to send them off together on Monday morning. Hate it when the next business day is a Monday

How long after you made the payment was it marked as PAID - i cant tell from your timeline

Thanks

They both appeared as PAID when I woke up this morning. So it was 2 days for AOS, overnight for IV.

it needs to be said as Paid as far as I know. so yes we all have to wait till then to send off! uugh wont be till next week im guessing! but we are in the same boat! i wonder how close we will be together as far as interview dates etc? ooo this is gonna be fun! lol i was soooo nervous to actually pay it, to the point my boss is laughin at me hahahaha

I think they will. I'm just bummed. I thought that if I wasn't in the US by my father-in-law's birthday (which was yesterday), I'd at least be very close to moving.

That's too bad, but you'll be there soon to celebrate many more birthdays!

So I called NVC today. Felt like my ears were going to bleed from those automated messages anyway when I was finally put through to Kelly, she kept saying to allow 20 business days for them to review the AOS/IV packets. Seriously? I've noticed people get through this stage in less time than that.

20 business days is like a curse.

Congrats to you

Thanks. You are not far behind. Please look at my timeline. I called NVC only 3 times. Once to confirm that NVC received my file from USCIS. One more for case #. Finally, for the case complete.

I did look at your timeline & it gave me some hope but then I was told by NVC that they haven't even reviewed the packets yet. Here's to more waiting.

So you and Jason had the same case #/IIN date, right? And you guys both pretty much received your invoices on the same day (Which was... 9/5??) .... so it's taking about 7-8 business days to invoice them it appears....

Oh and as for interviews -- I wonder if NVC generally sits down and schedules interviews during the 2nd week of the month.. I mean the actual ACT of scheduling (not the interview itself)... I would LOVE to have a November interview date but I'm starting to lose hope. So anyway, I know it varies by embassy but does NVC generally complete the task of scheduling during the 2nd week of the month?

they are instructed to say they schedule interview every mid month. they actually schedule interviews every day. so i would call trice a day.
