I don't know anything about that visa, but I would think there would be an A number somewhere on it. It can also be called a 'Registration Number' as it is on IR-1/CR-1 visas. If you can't find it on the visa or paperwork, you can always put 'unknown'. That's what I had to put for my previous L2 visa.

When did your husband email the NVC Research and when did he receive this reponse?

Your petition sure was approved fast. I understand how you feel with this wait. I've been waiting 40 days already for NVC to receive our case.

The C1/D is a non-immigrant visa. There is no A-number for non-immigrant visas.

NVC has me confused!!!

Yesterday we got an e-mail and my IV processing fee was invoiced and ready

But after my stepdad paid mine he went to pay my sister's case and... nothing

So he called NVC because when it was time to pay the AOS Fees they were linked (related cases) and we were wondering why one would be invoiced without the other. The NVC operator said that my sister, a minor did not get a choice of agent form (DS-3032) and her case is currently undergoing administrative processing and that there is no time frame for how long this would take

Do minors receive choice of agent forms?

Why is my case ahead of hers and they were linked together?

YES, minors have to file a Choice of Agent and Address form (unless you use a lawyer). So frustrating that the NVC operators give out so much false information. In the stepchild thread, every single one of us filed that form, and then the IV bill was invoiced, just like for spouses' and parents' petitions.

Your stepdad should call back NVC and see if he can get a more knowledgeable operator who can explain what is going on. So he filed the Choice of Agent and Address for both of you (clearly for you, since your case was already invoiced) - but hers wasn't accepted? Did he sign (or e-mail) on her behalf, like "XXX, signing for minor child YYY"? There were some people posting in the stepchild thread who submitted the e-mail template for a minor child and were then required to send the actual signed DS-3032 form, so maybe that is the case (Ours was accepted with just the e-mail template - 16-year-old stepchild). Did your father receive any reply about hers?

Cases filed together often proceed at different speeds. It *seems* like they are joined up again at the interview, but I'm not sure if that is always the case (probably not *always*) and if her case really went to AP, then nobody knows how long that will take.

Well, that explains that!

Every beneficiary has to send a DS-3032, otherwise the IV won't be invoiced. I'd suggest getting that DS-3032 sent pronto. And hopefully the AP the operator mentioned won't last long (if that's indeed what she's going through, you never know with these operators).

Just called NVC...interview scheduled for JUNE 4!! I did not see that coming!!

[Darnell 8,478]

ya, if you had a MEP casefile #, that's one of the benefits for NVC Electronic Processing.

For Mexico and China, interview is scheduled about day 4 past case complete.

It's a god-send, really.

You have been waiting for a while now. Hopefully you get assigned an interview in the next couple of weeks for July. I am sadly anticipating an August interview for my husband as the Nairobi embassy is so backed up. Praying for a July interview though! Keep me updated when you get your interview assigned.
