That sux to wait all over again.. I am worried about getting a checklist on the AOS also.. I did the EZ and all looked good but I didn't submit pay stub or employment letter because it said optional.. Hopefully they just say bring to interview..

Yeah all i can say is that I hope this stuff gets looked at soon. It's been way too long since I've seen my husband. Edited by Mina09

Just saw this on a thread and thought I'd share here too as it's relevant. You can now get the IRS tax transcripts online (no longer need to wait to receive it by mail)!! Look here: http://www.irs.gov

My comment was not ignorant at all. I simply asked the person what they honestly thought it meant. That others thought my comment was funny had no basis on my asking if the person could understand w

yay ! remember - paying stuff is fine without the GZO # - but wait till you have the GZO # to submit stuff. I THINK IT'S OK on the DS-261, I'm not certain, to submit it prior to conversion.

#######, so after sending the OPTIN email, I re-read the start of this thread, and now notice I sent the OPTIN email too early. What if anything should I do at this point? Just wait for the initial NVC email? It's only been at NVC in the system for a couple of days now.

Ugh so annoying! You get a glimmer of hope, and then wait again. Its a roller coaster. I'm sorry yours isn't in yet, but I bet you'll get it before next week. Maybe mine was the last of the day and yours will be the first of tomorrow!

They do, but they discourage it and it says it might take a while to get a physical one: there was a terrible blizzard in Halifax last week during the only time he could go, so he just opted to get it done online. It does have a PRINTABLE version. I think I'll ask him to get a physical copy to be safe, but I am just trying to get all my ducks in a row once I get assigned my NVC number... I want no delays on my end.

EDIT: The printable version looks official, so I think I'm alright. It even has a verification # on it.

The printable version should suffice.

Does anyone know how long it takes for NVC to respond to a checklist? I received a checklist on 12/26/13 and responded to it the next day. They received it on 1/2/14. And they gave me the standard 30 business day response. Anyone know of having them look at those any sooner??

Checklists take the same amount of time as the AOS and IV packages.

Hello,VJ

NVC recived my case 01/06/14

NOA2 recived 12/17/13

they told me to wait 15-20 days

when can i started calling, again......??????

Now that NVC has your case, call daily as it can be assigned any day now.
