NVC Filers - January 2013

[K n E 3]

just mailed by AOS.. woohhooo..

Now do I just wait not for the IV bill to be invoiced?

This might be a dumb question, but will be receiving the IV packet from NVC? or can I get a head start some how?

Thanks.

The IV bill will be invoiced once the DS-3032 has been accepted and added to the case file. You can find the DS-230 online. And you can gather the certificates already. Most people have this done actually before they even get to NVC. Go back to the first post and re-read everything.

Grats on your NOA2! Start calling Monday if you wish. But be warned, it's taking around 3-4 weeks currently from NOA2 to get a case number assigned. If you wait and don't call, expect a few months to hear from NVC as they have to send the initial information package by snail mail. The benefit of calling is that when the case number IS assigned, you can give both email addresses to an operator. That way, NVC will send correspondence to you by email, instead of snail mail.

While you're waiting, I highly suggest you go read the first two posts. I put a lot of information together to help you breeze through the NVC process

Telephone.

You can't give email addresses to an operator until AFTER a case number has been assigned.

So, you have two options to get your case number:

FASTEST: calling

SLOWEST: waiting for snail mail

I'm filing for my mom. I called the NVC last January 23 and the operator said that they just receive the papers from USCIS. I'll call them back next week to give my email add & my mom's. Anyway, my mom gave me her email password because she's not that good in computer. Is it ok if i'll use my mom's email account to send the DS 3032 Choice of Address and agent? By the way, my mom is in the other country. thanks ahead for your reply!

Saylin Hi!

Do you know if NVC still send snail mail after sending correspondence through emails?

thanks!

If we send our AOS package before IV package, will we definitely get a checklist for the IV package? It's just that we need something to take to the police (addressed to us) to actually prove we need a certificate (Japan).

Thank you very much!

I looked at recent numbers (2012) and it's even shorten on average. But to be safe, with 55 days for NVC and then 1 month for interview, I'm now looking at April!

You can see below, it was December 15th, so more than 5 weeks to receive a case number (and I was calling regularly and sending emails).
