I'm going to be a regular reader of this topic this month

There's no US holidays in March right? Plus hopefully less bloody snow days!

According to this page (http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/snow-dismissal-procedures/federal-holidays/#url=2014), no more holidays until May!

did it mention Good Friday? I can only find that 14 states observe it, and my state is one of them. But I can't find WHICH states are the 14 lol

Good Friday is not a federal holiday (and the NVC is a federal critter). Neither is it a holiday in New Hampshire, where the NVC is located.

Please let me Vent here and i apologize in advance..

Very frustrated with NVC now.. not sure what incompetent people they have working there or their system simply sucks!

Received a false checklist i guess after a review of my DS-260 documents that they haven't received my I-864. Which i submitted before DS-260 supporting documents but they couldn't open it for whatever goddamn reason and said that it was encrypted or password protected! This is crazy because i have opened those attachments from the same email from 10 different computers and it opens just fine!! any ways i re-submitted the entire package last Saturday.

In addition to the false checklist they are saying i havent submitted a proof of my canadian residency but i submitted copy of my passport! i still have that email! like for God's sake look at the attachments carefully! The girl on the phone said they dont have it so re-send it and allow another 20 freakin days for them to review... this is crazy!

Can somebody here advise what i should do? Re-send the copy of passport or simply ignore it? Or re-send the passport copy as well as canadian citizenship card??

I apologize again from my rant.. but i'm very frustrated right now.

Hi everyone,

We just called NVC (30 minutes on hold). Our case have been received, and I guess we were just happy it wasn't lost so we forgot to ask for a change of mailing address (petitioner's), can we change it after a case number is assigned or will it be too late?

Also, Saylin, could you add us to the spreadsheet please? The dates are in my signature. (Our case had been transferred but as we moved out before receiving the notice, we never knew which office it was approved at)

Thanks

I was approved from NBC on 21st Feb..

How long it will take to reach at nvc?

I called uscis they said they mailed my case to nvc on same day, 02/21.

So here we are in March... I'm hoping and praying that this is the month we get a case complete and interview date...

[Persepolis 5]

I paid the AOS fee and filled out the DS-261 (choice of agent form) over a week ago.

But the IV fee and application is STILL not available it still shows a folder with a lock on it. Does anyone know why?

I have not sent in the AOS (Affidavit of support) forms yet with the cover sheet, I will do that next week. Is that why the IV fee and application aren't showing? Because I haven't sent in the AOS paperwork? I don't think so

You can change the address with the DS-261 and AOS package for the petitioner. They won't change the address in any other way.

IV and AOS have nothing to do with each other, other than both are needed for case complete.

The DS-261 can take 2-3 weeks to be accepted and added to the case file. Until that happens, the IV fee will not be invoiced. Sometimes it happens sooner, other times it takes longer. Dunno why. The DS-260 will not be available until the IV shows as PAID.

Did you speak to a tier 1 or tier 2?

Normally takes a few weeks to a month from the day they send it

resend a copy of the bio data page of your passport and citizenship card for good measure. Ask for a supervisor review.

I talked to tier 2..

When I log in I didn't fill out any ds 261 form but I can see AOS fees and IV bill which says not available. Can this be because I have a lawyer? Secondly will the I 864 W form be available on the NVC site once fee paid? I have researched everywhere but have been unable to find a I 864 W form. My visa category is IB1.

I have the same thing show up, the aos shows at not invoiced and the iv shows just $0.00, I also have an attorney. Not sure about the I864w....
