You mean you can access the portal now not that you are invoiced? Or what?

Your AOS should be invoiced if not already any day now. The IV BILL is tied to the DS-3032. Since you just sent that you have about 10 to 14 days for reviewed. You will get the email saying to pay your IV BILL when invoiced same with AOS Bill.

**Keep your eyes on that portal for that AOS bill. It should be there any day now.

Get ready, get ready, get ready.

ah ah thank you Debbie yes I can access the "invoice" part but can't pay the $88 dollars b/c of the IV bill not being ready...ok so still waiting then I didn't understand what was going on but I do now...but at least I am getting closer!

The AOS and IV BILL are totally separate paths. AOS will show up any minute/day since you have case# number.

You just send DS-3032 today so once thats accepted (Oh 10 to 14 days from now) your IV BILL will be invoiced.

But you can for sure pay AOS once it appears and send that in. many of us have AOS sent and accepted before we get IV BILL invoiced.

If you're not using IE, then it may not work.

Remember everyone, the payment portal is designed specifically for IE. The programmers (for whatever stupid reason ) don't care if it works or not in any other browser.

It's been 10 days since NOA2 and still no case number.

Come on now you got approved in 53 days. It usually is 15 to 20 days to get case#. Hang on. I been here 5 months.

Looking at my spreadsheet, you'll probably get your number in about 2 weeks. While you're waiting, are you reviewing the two completed packages every single day to see if you can catch any possible errors?

thanks. i reviewed the two packages and will be sending more evidence with the iv package.

Missing documents for DS-230 package. long story but its us not NVC. But we should have case complete in about 2 weeks.

Yes, now you have to send the originals/certified copies. They'll then get sent to the embassy after your interview is scheduled along with the other forms and documents. At the interview, they'll return them to you, as long as you provided copies for them to keep for their own records

Sending originals of what went to USCIS, into NVC, is not needed.

Petitioner's documents sent in to USCIS with I-130 submittal - photocopies were sufficient, but IV unit wants to see originals on interview day - no need to send in Petitioner's Documents at the NVC stage.

See what I mean about confusing lol. I'll just wait for the interview, for now I'll only send what NVC specifically requires...if they want to send a checklist, they can go ahead...

I believe darnell is saying in the first line that originals of EVERYTHING are not needed.

Then he goes on to say there's no need to send originals of PETITIONERS documents.

However, then you cut out this part:

NVC has a requirement of 'originals or certified copies (certified by the issuing authority) plus a photocopy', on the Beneficiary's documents sent in with the DS-230, with the exception of the police clearance certificate (original is sufficient, and it's what is usually sent)

[OriZ 3,157]

I cut that out because I already know it. Where my confusion was was petitioner documents, and bona fide documents. Some places said to send originals of EVERYTHING you sent to USCIS before, meaning those too. From what I understand, it is not needed. All that is needed is the beneficiary originals+photocopies, and the AOS stuff.
