Thank you! I'll definitely look into it. I'm almost done with the preparation of the papers for NVC. What's the thread you're referring to?

I hope you have everything ready for the NVC, join the thread for Jan and be proactive, take the time to read the #1 and #2 post, specially the part about submitting the DS-3032 email it can make a 3 week wait/delay almost a thing of days as it did with me.

Congrats, happy to finally see some other June approvals!!!

I just finished getting all the necessary papers together, but I don't think there's anything I can do to speed up the process before I receive the new case number unfortunately. What I'm confused about is whether I can send the I-864 and DS-230 before I receive the barcodes. Can you help me please? And do you think I can send the DS-3032 before I get my new case number?

Thanks a lot!!!

The first thing I did was prepare the DS3032 email, just waiting on the NVC Case Number, once you get that you can send it. If you look at the email template in the Wiki you will notice the subject line has teh NVC case number in it, so you cant send it without the NVC#.

When you get your case number from the hotline you should also ask for your Invoice ID Number. With that you can login to the payment website. Once the bill is generated and you pay you can print the barcode (even before status changes to paid). What I did is that I sent the package as soon as I saw the money taken out of my bank account. The first was AOS and then IV (since the IV bill only gets invoiced once they accept the DS3032), if you see that a few days pass and you dont hear from the DS3032, you can try to send it a second time with the "special subject line" mentioned in the NVC thread post #1 or #2, dont remember which one has that info, it can save upto 3 weeks.

To answer the question, you can't send the AoS or IV pack without the barcode. Most people wait for the status to change to PAID before mailing them, I did it when I saw my bank get billed and it worked out for me, saved me a day for each.

Thank you so much!

I understand what I need to do now :) I called yesterday for the NVC number, but they hadn't received my case yet. So I'll call again on Friday and hopefully it'll be generated by then!

Feel free to call everynight, around 11 PM (est) :) it will go straight through with almost no wait time. Once you send the packages then there is a 1-2 week wait where you dont need to call everyday, for now you need to know the NVC# and IIN# as soon as its ready. That is if you want speed. Join the NVC thread, there is a wealth of knowledge and people willing to help out.
