i was wondering bout that too.. most of the cases i follow here got iv invoiced after 2 weeks, a few were earlier. maybe bcoz of the backlog, holidays, weather.....

even the AOS bill, its taking a while to show its paid.

and if you dont mind, can u make signature timeline

I am experiencing the same thing. Anyway, I just hope that eventhough its slow, it should atleat go smoothly (i.e without REFs, extreme delays etc)

Anyone else getting a busy signal when they call NVC? I tried calling many times yesterday morning and this morning and all I get is a busy signal. Could it be all of their lines are on hold? I have had it happen before but I usually get through after a couple of tries.

After the holiday on Monday and the weather-based office closure yesterday, there's bound to be a pent up demand for people trying to get through to NVC. Usually I call when I get into work around 8 AM EST because it goes right through, but today I had to redial a few times because I got busy signals. Keep at it, I'm sure they'll be swamped today.

Just wanted to let everyone know that if you will be using your house for assets, they do not allow a property value assessment form, it has to be a appraisal for this current year

Sorry for any misleading info by suggesting the Property value assessment notice, as I read it somewhere and still don't recall where, but it 'filed' in my brain along with the zillion other tidbits of info that I've read since starting this journey...

I'm having the same problem, but no matter how many times I try, it rings once and then hangs up. I've literally called them over ten times at different times of the day both today and yesterday. It's frustrating!

Hi,

Just a suggestion: I know your question is about household size, so if you post a specific question, you will get better/accurate response. i personally think your I 864 is accurate in refernce to household size :) Lets see what other members think :)

This may be a dumb question. I'm looking over the screenshots preparing for ds260. It asks you to write things in my hubby's native language. In Bulgaria they use the Cyrillic alphabet. How do you do this on a computer? For the USCIS forms I was able to write it. Since the form is not available to me yet I don't know what options it gives you. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm just trying to be prepared.

No worries just wanted to let you know before you send anything in. The lady said that if your income is enough don't send in any assests it just makes things more confusing for them. ?
