You know what? Neither my attorney, nor I, received ANY emails with an invoice number. My poor attorney was very confused that I was way ahead of her. I had assumed that the attorney would get an email as soon as the invoices were ready to pay. NOT!

And I agree - we here on VisaJourney should open an office to help people fill out forms!

I second that notion

Seems like better advice can be found here anyway :-)

Freaking out now because the mail I sent today is not updated on usps website :-\

i am planing to go down to my country while my parents do interview.

so not sure it will help if my parents got some problem that they can't explain well

so may be i can inform to the officer while he is doing interview to my parents.

would that be good idea?

any suggestion???

Some embassies welcome petitioners and some do not. You will need to contact the Myanmar (I'm assuming this is your parents' country) consulate/embassy and find out if you are allowed to come with them.

In my case, I am allowed to attend the interview with my spouse in Australia, but she has to contact the consulate first and get email permission from them.

Our attorney told us that the foreign embassies often like the USC to come to the interview - it shows that they are really interested if they come to the foreign country. But not all embassies/consulates allow the USC to come.

Even if you're not allowed it it can be good to go and wait for moral support and the CO may like to know they are there as well. Heard stories to that effect about lagos.

For low fraud countries, like Canada or the UK for example, it's not necessary at all if you want to save some money for moving instead.

I want to go as well. As long as we can get the visa and come home in the same trip. Since it only takes two days I may plan the pick up flights around the interview date.

No it's not. You have to paper file not efile.

Thanks NLR :)

My husband went to see his tax consultant yesterday and got it all fixed! We're now filing Married Filing Separately by paper. Will send the papers off today. But what do we sent in the AOS package now?

Who said the visa only takes 2 days?

I thought it was ready two days after the interview? Is the not correct?

Just got off the phone from NVC, the lady told me it takes 4-5 weeks for my approval to arrive at NVC, is that right? Some people tell me it takes about 5-10 days max from CSC to NVC

For me it took about 14 days to arrive. About 6.5 weeks to get the case # email with an AOS invoice.

It's really not the same for everybody, it varies. That is why this whole process is so frustrating. Hope yours will get there soon. Hang in there. Good luck!
