Hi Saylin,

Thank you for all the help you have given.

Since my attorney mailed only photocopies of the beneficiaries birth cert and marriage cert with IV packet, Is there anyway I can add the originals to the packet? May I or Attorney can mail them to NVC? or do I need to wait till I get checklist? Hoping to get the original docs with in another 3-4 days to US.

I'd try to get a refund from your attorney for making such a stupid error.

But yes, as soon as you get them, mail them off. Doesn't matter who sends them. Make sure you attach the IV bar-coded cover sheet on top. And it'd probably be a good idea to put a cover letter behind that explaining what you're sending in and that it wasn't included in the original IV package. Also, it'd be a good idea to either write in pencil or include a sticky note on top of each original with your case number, full names, and dates of birth.

So I started another thread with a question I had but I think there's more relevant traffic in this thread, so I'll post it here.

I was searching the VJ forums for IV packages for a CR-2 (visa for my stepson). I read a thread that discussed the parental consent that is needed from both biological parents in order for my stepson to leave Peru. My stepson's biological father will not sign the consent, and so currently we are going through court. Has the NVC required the parental consent as part of the civil documents? I couldn't find a clear answer in VJ, and by reading the NVC instructions, it does not mention anything about it.

Here is my thread:

hello folks

First time Posting and i have read the first and second page of this thread, lots of useful information.

My question is that i just called the NVC and i was told that they have already received my case, that i should wait for another 2 to 4 weeks for further instructions. What should be my next step here?

I'll beat Saylin to it, and tell you go read posts 1&2 again

Basically, you start calling NVC on a regular basis until they give you your case #.

As for me, the IV packet was sent off today, and I got word from the NVC operator I called that our AOS packet was officially checked in on Thursday. Progress!

I have a question. If one were to not call NVC at all for whatever reason, would the NVC mail the petitioner and/or beneficiary with the case & invoice identification numbers as soon as they're generated? Kind of like USCIS do with the NOA1 receipt number?

Hi Saylin, please help me regrading my issue. I have read in your post that it is normal to have this message:

This case is in the process of termination. Fee payments and online forms can no longer be accepted. If you believe you have received this message in error, or to resume processing of the case, please contact the NVC immediately.

But I am in the impression of after you receive their email instructions, I should be able to log in and pay the AOS correct? My problem is, I receive the email and the instructions about paying the bill but I still get this message that this case is in the process of termination. Is that normal? Should I wait for a little bit and hopefully I can sign in or just go ahead and mail the payment? Please help me. Thank you very much,

Called NVC for the first time today, 1 week after shipped notice. They don't have my case yet. Will call again next week!

Definitely bummed NVC doesn't have a 1-800 number, because 800 numbers on Skype are free. I might have to invest in an unlimited to USA package on skype for the next few months

THANK YOU Saylin! You gave me a solution again!!!

I will send these docs as soon as when I receive them.

I've been trying the nvc number but it doesn't seem to be working

[Jasminka8 16]

Yes, PCC and military records are REQUIRED in the IV package.

Thanks Saylin, I figured I needed to have them translated since NVC would not understand Bosnian ? Your the best!!!! Thanks ?

Nope. NVC schedules the interview, YOU schedule the medical. The interviews are scheduled based on case complete date, not on how you answer one question

[xprecious32 50]

Just curious, but how long does it typically take from NOA2 to NVC receiving file? And when they receive it do they send email/text or do we have to call NVC to find out if and when they received it?
