Okay, I'm getting a little bit worried. I put the bar code cover sheet behind my cover letter, and I'm realizing that it should have gone on top. :bonk: :bonk:

Please tell me that it would be fine and I'm overacting. I just know how the NVC can get.

Just called . They told me everything has been accepted , except the marriage certificate . They said they want a original certificate. I asked didn't the instruction said certified copy is also ok? The lady asked whether it is in Chinese?! And certified by issurance authority?! I told her yes and it is in both Chinese and English And it is with invisible seal! She said she will request to check again. Call back again in 15 days

Sigh .. I really don't know what they want . My husband is going through a tough time now. I already felt terrible that I can't be there by his side physically ! Why this process is taking so ridiculously long ! How much longer they are going to keep us apart !

Saylin,

The DS-3032 was accepted on 3/26/2013. I just got off the phone with the NVC and the rep told me that it is going to take some time to generate my new case number. In the meantime we can use the old number which I will be doing in order to submit our completed AOS package.

In regards to the IV invoice, she told me she can see that I've been invoiced. However I cannot and she said that its probably due to the fact that they are waiting to issue the new case number.

In the meantime, I'll be making my daily phone calls to the NVC until our new case number is issued.

You're signing onto the payment portal through IE, right? If you are or if you try and it's still not showing, then they may be correct on holding issuing it until the new case number.

I'm 90 percent sure it will be fine, even more so if your cover letter included a checklist of the forms attached. Believe me, you are probably better organized than most.

I have to send my birth certificate ; though have sent out the original translated one earlier but they want with Pakistani union council stamp on it. A question for the experts and all the Pakistani VJ members; would it be perfect to send the attested/certified copy of Urdu and translated Birth Certificate from the union council?

I'm waiting for my IV packet to be reviewed, but for USCIS I sent a certified copy with urdu and english on it. We'll see if NVC accepts it.

Did anyone create their own barcoded coversheets as described in LingChe's NVC ShortCut guide?

I wish I did that (but I was scared of rejection from NVC, especially when sending original civil documents) because some people have apparently finished the entire NVC process in 10-13 days total! :bonk:

It's been 45 days since NVC gave me a case number (and 51 days since my NOA2) and I'm still waiting for "NVC case complete". :clock:

Hello all,

I just got my NOA2. I have a question regarding change of address. How often I can change my address cause I have to keep moving? And if I change the address, does my wife need to submit another DS3032?

Also, I've seen here people talking about expediting the case? How can I do that? Or is it only works for citizens? cause I am LPR.

Thank you
