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

Hi. When can we mail the AOS to NVC? Thank you!

When the payment is received and/or when the money is taken out from your checking account. Dont wait for NVC's confirmation or anything like that its just gonna cause more delay. I just did my payment yesterday too so I'm guessing next week we can probably send our AOS package. :)

Is anyone else not able to get through to customer support at NVC today? Its 9:45am EST on Friday and I get the message "Thank you for calling the National Visa Center. Assistance regarding an immigrant visa petition is not available at this time. If you wish to speak to a customer service representative please call back at a later time." #######? WHAT later time? Obviously not a snow storm since its not the "in-climate weather" message.

I know MLK day is Monday...are they taking a 4 day weekend?!? If so, thats ridiculous...NVC employees have the greatest gig ever...cushioned federal holidays AND snow days.

Log on to payment portal and go to your receipt page. You should see a link on the bottom that says "print document cover sheet".

Hi Saylin! smile.png

We just received an email containing the Case numbers for me and my daughter along with the IIN and Beneficiary ID numbers. Do we call NVC now and give them my email and my husband's email? My husband is the petitioner and will also be assigned as our choice of agent. Also, on the AOS fee, do we need to pay just one AOS fee or one for me and my daughter? I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!
