I've been watching you since our July 2013 filers thread:) Good luck to you too!

A few of us sent our AOS as soon as we paid the fee, but the general advice is to be sure it clears your account before sending it off.

Include the bar coded cover sheet, and an optional cover letter with a list of included documentation if you like.

No need to send instructions... although maybe someone should do that and highlight the 'leave it blank' instruction, lol!

He's Buff alright.... :wub:;)

Don't panic, just try every few hours or whenever you get a chance, as they're inputting your data and before you know it (hours or a few days), you'll be able to fill in your DS261.

Have you read Saylin's wiki at the start of this thread? It will answer oh so many questions :D

hahaha! isn't that the truth!!!

Alrighty guys so my AOS packet includes the cover sheet from the portal and a cover sheet that I made, the I-864EZ signed and dated and this years tax transcript...would you guys send the last 3 years or just this years? Some how I feel like I'm forgetting something.... :unsure: :unsure:

Welcome to another monthly thread for those going through NVC! Before posting questions, please read the wiki I wrote on the NVC process here. Once you're done, read it one or two more times to

Apparently NVC was just waiting for me to lose all hope, sit back and get comfortable before throwing us for a loop. Yesterday evening we received an email notification for a May 19 interview in Londo

I'm just catching up while holding on the NVC line listening to their horrid hold music. (At this point, for a musician like me, it's like taking a cheese grater to my ear drums. This is now the music of my nightmares. Like being stuck in between floors on a damn elevator with Muzak.) Looking at the interview thread, etc. I was trying to gauge how things were going with the Consulate in Amsterdam, but there's not a lot of IR/CR people dealing with them on here.

The beginning of the week is a little slower. But Thursday and Friday really heat up. They crank them out at the end of the week. :)

Might as well start the weekend early! :)

I really don't wanna call them, anymore. I hate being on hold for 30 minutes every time. Now that I have everything in, they'll e-mail me if anything is missing, won't they?

Yes. I hate calling to. I don't have the patience for it. If you are missing something they will send you a checklist. Otherwise just chill out for about 2 weeks. Then call every couple days or so. That's what I did. Good luck my friend! :)

Phew. It WAS a false check list. RON at NVC even chuckled when I thank him for saving me from having a coronary over this. He said I got it because they reviewed my DS-260. Which is strange because I was initially told they reviewed my DS-260 on the 21st when I got the first IV docs false checklist. He said it will take 30 BUSINESS DAYS to review, as they are flooded with emails. I guess I can pretty much kiss a June interview goodbye. Feeling very bummed out now.
