Thanks for the information!

The more I read the cases here, the more I feel SR/Ombudsman/Congressman don't help at all. USICS just keeps doing things at its own pace.

Congrats!!

We are getting ready to pay the fees for affidavit of support and the D's ?? Something can't remember soo. Excited right now but how long once we send the payments do we download the aos forms does anyone know thks

You can begin reading the first 2 posts in the NVC thread for some great information, if you haven't already:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/472916-nvc-filers-january-2014/

I don't recall how long it will take to have access to that form, but the FAQ's in post 2 of the above thread is where I believe you can find some answers. If not there, I bet it's further along in the questions/answers by posters in the thread.

Be sure to wait until the payment portal says 'paid' and/or the funds have been taken from your account before you send in the AOS packet.

"If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you."

"Life is not what it's supposed to be. It's what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference."

I got this today. I don't even have a A# because I am a citizen. Did anyone get this message when waiting for NOA2 or any idea what this means?

I just hope this doesn't mean that my application somehow ended up in Permanent Resident applications.

Thanks in advance!
