NVC Filers - April 2014

[London2Boston 59]

Hi everyone!

I (the petitioner) am filling out the DS-261 right now. Probably a stupid question but should I say that I am the "preparer" when it asks? And then electronically sign in the beneficiary's name? Thank you!

No updates on our case tonight, as predicted... just had to check to put our minds at ease! 33 tries to get through and as many minutes spent on hold, so, a pretty standard Monday at NVC Planning my next call for Friday in case there's some kind of miracle, and still hoping for some actual movement next week.

Greetings All,

An update for those using Electronic Processing (EP). We have paid our AOS fee and the following information available on the receipts page would suggest that the Bar Coded Cover Sheet is not required for those using EP:

Next Steps

Payment Receipts for IV Case MTL2014xxxxxx
Status of All Fee Payments

Unless this case has joined the Electronic Processing Program you will need a Document Cover Sheet. You may use the Print Document Cover Sheet button below to print one now. If you cannot print a copy now use the Email Document Cover Sheet button to send an electronic copy to an e-mail address where it can be printed later.

Hi Fellow London to Bostonian!

Hey, how funny! Had the same idea for our usernames I guess!

To your question, yes, go ahead and electronically sign the DS-261 for the beneficiary and list yourself as the preparer.

Im wondering how long usually takes to get invoiced IV ?

Hey Saylin,

Does NVC send a confirmation email for i-864 and IV support documents sent by email for electronic processing?

We received an auto 'Out of Office" notice for i-864 documents sent on Friday. Not sure if this automated reply was due to office closed for weekend.

We sent IV documents this evening (8:30PM) but did not get an auto response.

Do we wait for confirmation email or resend these documents again?

Please advise.

Thanks

Dont forget to enter the discount code from USCIS for 20% off for delay in processing.

You can apply this toward your AOS or IV fees. Certain limitations apply. Void where prohibited.

Hi mattandinga,

I've applied to Enroll on March 21 and then one more time on March 26. So far I have not received the Enroll confirmation email from NVC.

I am ready to email AOS documents but still waiting to receive the confirmation first.

Please read my signature timeline and let me know if I should send AOS despite have not received enroll confirmation.

Thanks for your advice,

Lukiduki

The IV fee is invoiced when your DS-261 is accepted, generally a couple of weeks after you submit it. It's a separate track and not dependant on the AOS

Checking in. Will this be my last NVC thread??

Did you check the Costa Rica reciprocity table in DOS's website? I am not going to paste it here but they are providing some good info regarding your question:

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country/CS.html

I know for my Peruvian documents, this table was dead on accurate. It was so specific that the only thing it didn't say was what the government clerk looked like.

This is great, thank you so much!!!
