I am in the same boat with both of our cases.

I know yesterday it said “Not Available” for the IV Bill whereas today it is saying the exact same thing as you.

Looks like we are neck-in-neck still.

IV Bill just got invoiced!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Hubby paying as we speak - hope you get yours shortly too!!! Getting to the finish line!!!

Mmmm...

I sent my IV packet yesterday and it was delivered a few hours ago.

I just received an email from NVC saying the IV bill is not paid. It does show as in process on their website but the money has been withdrawn from my account.

Should I just ignore this?

Looks like you have everything to me! good.gif

If there's one suggestion I could give (and so wish I had done myself): separate the required documents from the optional. This way, you won't have to deal with this very heavy, very thick folder when you're giving over documents.

This is extremely likely due to them accepting your AOS package the other day ;) Nothing to worry about as it was generated two days ago.

Great, thanks Saylin. I actually have 2 folders and a photo album. 1 folder for required docs and the other for the optional stuff. I'm nervous but ready and can't wait for the big day!!

The part about the AOS package is false, as you seem to know already. The bit about the birth certificate seems to be real though as it's asking for something specific. Call up NVC to confirm.

Okay I'm confused! The checklist says they reviewed our IV package and need my original birth certificate. But on the phone the woman says that a supervisor will be reviewing the package (at the request of my husband) and that they won't know if they have the original until it is reviewed?? I'm sooo confused! And freaking out a little because we definitely sent it so we are screwed if it's lost! :(
