Best feeling: finally moving dwheels from the "no case complete" area at the bottom of my spreadsheet and bringing that line up to those having case completes :)

People going to see my timeline and be OMG. There needs to be a (not NVC's fault button).

I am glad I get to now come out the basement into the case complete light.

I swear I may pass out. Euphoria is still here. Its like what do I do now. Besides pack and get all stuff ready for husbands interview.

Good luck! I'll be waiting for your post about approval tomorrow ;)

Tracking the package is done AFTER the interview date has been assigned. Once a case is complete, it's put into queue for an interview date to be scheduled. Once that's done, only then is the case sent to the consulate/embassy.

Thank you for the info Saylin!

Hi! I have a question :blush: Today my DS-261 was already available online, so I already completed this step, YAY!

Yesterday as soon as we got the case # and IIN we logged into the consular electronic application center (CEAC) website, and the AOS bill was NOT INVOICED yet.

After I completed the DS-261 form, I clicked on the INVOICE tab and the AOS field is in blank! :blink: No petitioner's name, not even the "Not invoiced" message. Is this normal?

to those of you that have filled out the DS-260 form:

I am contemplating between filling out the form myself or having the attorney do it, I spoke to his clerk this morning and she said that since it's time consuming and it requires very detailed questions she won't be able to finish it at once as she may need my help with some questions, she has to save it and keep going back to it blah blah blah.

I haven't done any of the paperwork myself so I am somewhat nervous about it, do you think I will be able to handle it myself? is it pretty straight forward? do you think I should just fill it out myself and get it over with or have her fill it out and send me the saved version for verification?

Can it be saved though? or once you start you have to finish and submit it?! please advice

Thanks to everyone who has helped us get this far, and I'm happy to be part of this thread.

I'm so happy to be the newest I-130 graduate, so happy that I don't even mind that I'm stupid about the process from this point. Please bear with me as I ask the usual stupid questions.

Here's the first one: We filed NO supporting documentation with our I-130. Nothing. Just the "required" stuff. In our defense, we filed three weeks after our wedding and really didn't have anything to send. The I-130 was approved anyway (nobody is more shocked than I am that it got approved instead of RFE'd). I intend to try to send in all of the info we have on our commingled finances and ongoing relationship, but I am not sure how to best go about this. Can someone please give me the play-by-play?

Thanks very much!!! :thumbs:
