NVC Filers - April 2013

[YpsiFella 20]

They did make some new forms but old ones are always accepted.

Thanks.

YAY! Case Complete as of today!

Hooray!!

[The Mean Lady 604]

I just noticed a mistake I made.

Sigh.

When I did the OPTIN email.

I labeled MYSELF as the beneficiary and my husband as the Petitioner.

Should be opposite.

I have no idea where I would even begin to fix that issue...

[The Mean Lady 604]

I just realized I don't think this is an issue.

Based on their response to me, they seem to have noticed and corrected it.

[The Mean Lady 604]

OKAY! AoS Packet Sent.

Now.

Based on my little timeline here:

1. Once the case number is assigned, on the SAME call, do the following: get the case number, get the IIN, get the BIN, give over both email addresses

2. Send the optin email (if you wish to do EP)

3. Try logging onto the payment portal, once you can, pay the AOS bill

3. Try logging onto the online forms portal, once you can, fill out the DS-261

4. Once the IV bill has been invoiced (based on acceptance of DS-261), pay the IV bill

5. Once AOS is showing as paid and optin email has been accepted, send the AOS package

6. Once IV is showing as paid and optin email has been accepted, send the IV package and fill out the DS-260 online

7. Respond to any checklists

It says try logging into the online forms portal once I can and fill out the DS-261.

Payment seems to be talked about later

However, based on Saylin's wiki, it says:

Once the IV fee appears as PAID, it’s time to fill out the DS-260 form.

I don't think I can do this until AFTER I pay the IV fee right?

Or should I keep checking back and eventually it will show up?

Thanks guys (L) (L)

Glad they noticed and corrected it. Even if they didn't, I don't think it would have been a big deal as it's the CASE that is put into EP, not a person.

Yay, grats on sending the AOS package! You've got that part of the process out of the way.

The DS-261 and DS-260 are two different forms.

DS-261 = online DS-3032, Choice of Agent form

DS-260 = online DS-230, Immigrant Visa form

I believe you already did the DS-261 online, right? And you're just waiting for the IV bill to appear? If so, right now, you're just waiting on the IV bill. Once that's invoiced, pay it. The DS-260 should then open up and you can fill that out. You'll also be able to email the IV package.

Hope that was clear enough! If not, ask away!

Hello

Quick Question: Is it necessary to write NVC Case # on each and every pages of documents and forms while submitting AOS and IV packages?

Thank you.

Necessary? No. Highly recommended? Yes.

Remember, the purpose of writing the case number on all pages (EXCEPT the bar-coded cover sheet and cover letter) is in case a document is misplaced from the package, the document can then be reunited if there's a case number on it. Depending what document falls out, it could be lost forever as there's no information on it to identify it.

Yeah, lots of form numbers
