Thx Maree and Thx to everyone, I still have one more question: Is it Possible to the petitioner to fill out the DS-260 and DS-261 on Behalf of the Beneficiary or the Applicant (wife)?

Sincerely.

Hello VJ Friends,

Just wanted to check in

NOA1: 12/19/12

NOA2: 10/30/12

NVC Received: 12/9/13

Just got off the phone from NVC...

We got the case #, IIN & BIN # assigned

Merry Xmas to us

NVC case received: 2013/12/09

NVC case # generated: 2013/12/23 (today)

The operator said I could request a change of post from Tokyo to Seoul by email (my wife have been moving around since the I-130 took so long). Would this delay processing at all?

Hello fellow VJers

Just checking in for my NVC journey. Got USCIS approval for I-130 on 12/23/13 (after 9 months) and now on to the NVC stage.

Based on what I've read looks like I should wait a week and then start calling NVC to get my case number.

Thanks all

I have called today after a week, and the lady was very rude telling me I have to wait 30 days first and then told me 8 weeks before an inquiry (which on the approval notice says 30 days) if you haven't heard anything from NVC.

She was about to hang up when I said, "Thank You, and Merry Christmas", then her tone of voice changed drastically and said marry xmas more gently to me.

I was laughing so hard after that....Irony I believe.

Good luck on your phone calls, I hope you have a better rep on the line.

Just got my NOA2 approval 12/23/2013 by text. I am not at home I am in Brazil with my family till February. I will not be there to receive my packet but my mail is safe with my friends. I have a couple of questions I have read that filing for the DS 230 is now electronic is this for all consulates. I am confused how many photos do I need two more each or four of each person. My consulate will be in Brazil for interview. I already have the document needed and the DS-230s filled out. I have one last question AOS I am applying for My wife and Two minor girls I heard I just need one fee. The AOS can be use for all three application is the right and how do I make NVC understand this. Thanks again for all the help this site is the best and the people are wonderful here to share their experiences.

Same thing happened to me when I called two weeks ago. The lady was very rude and she was like rushing to hang up on me. Tsk

Hi everyone, I want you all to weigh in on something. I think I know the answer, bit just want to see what you think. At Poe my husband will get a stamp in his passport that acts as a temporary green card until the 2 year arrives? With this stamp in his passport he should be able to exit and enter the USA again? We plan in taking a cruise within a few days of my husband arriving. Just want to make sure he's going to be able to enter when we get back. For this will kind of be our honeymoon since we never had a proper honeymoon.

The photos have to be taken within the last 6 months, so you'll need to get new ones.

The stamp AND the visa act as a temporary green card for up to 1 year, not just the stamp.

I got my case # and Invoice # on dec 20 and still can't fill out DS 261 form. i get this message "Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time. Please contact the National Visa Center if you believe that you have received this message in error."

That's normal. It's only been 2 business days since you got your case number. It can take around a week before the DS-261 becomes available. Be patient.

I called NVC yesterday and finally after 3 weeks they received the case!! She said to call back 10-14 days and a case number should be assigned. I am guessing this will be a little longer because of Christmas and New Years holidays.

Merry Christmas and seasons greetings to my fellow VJers!
