Hi Fellow VJers and the Gurus,

I have been hanging out in the April Interviews thread where lots of happy people are approaching the finish line...

I have been searching, searching, searching and need some accurate advise, pretty please?

I am the Beneficiary (in Aus with my USC)

 My case has been closed and my interview date has been set at 30th April 2013

(I have sent an email to Sydney embassy requesting early interview)

 We move house on 18th March 2013

Question - After we move house, which of the following bodies must I inform:

• Uscis

• NVC

• US Embassy Sydney

• None of the above

Next Question:

• Must I provide our new physical address

OR

• May I provide the address of the person who will continue to collect and forward our mail when we leave Aus

I look forward to you reply/ies

Many thanks,

Gabby

I don't plan on calling back until next Friday. My aos was delivered on a Wednesday and completed the following Friday. That was a good enough guideline for me. My iv arrived yesterday, sup next Friday it is.

Some people have similar timeline as yours have completed their cases. You're so close now!

It took them 4 business days to review my IV after it's in the system. (Now I'm waiting RFE to be reviewed.)

Congrats! My AOS bill is shown as paid, got email for IV invoice but cannot select the IV bill tab in the payment portal. There is no box in front of it to select helpsmilie.gifWhy is that?

Finally, after 3 long days i've been checking - IV processing fee payment status "PAID"...

Hi Saylin, before anything else I wanna thank you and the rest of the crew ..(",) for your time and support to everybody whose going through this journey.

Anyway my question is that if you have encounter anybody her who go through expedite processing that was forwarded to US Embassy/ General Consulate without finishing the process in NVC? I feel that I got lost now. I try to call the US Embassy - Manila but they don't have so much information about my moms papers. Or maybe I just called too soon...
