Glad I found may thead, how long till NVC assigned a case #

At least 42 days from the approval NOA2........Some times earlier. So it depends

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

Not A tailor thanks for you advises and help you always give....In my situation, they just gave me one number, should I wait for another number in their e-mail?..And how to start this final journey

You have multiple cases and they gave you one number? I'm not actually sure on this one. I don't think there's anyone else in the May thread with multiple cases. I would make a new topic and ask the general forums, because it may be that there's only one number or it may be that you'll get a number for each case. I'm sorry I can't help.

It was 28 days for me, but I was just before Christmas. It seems to be currently between 28 and 35 days. I haven't seen anyone get the full 42. If they haven't given you a case number by the 42nd day, call USCIS and ask them exactly when your package left. Sometimes (rarely) a package gets lost in the move between USCIS and NVC so it's important to make sure NVC has received it properly.

It was 33 days in our case, but we only found out because we had the foresight to call. The NVC have NEVER sent us unprompted correspondence. We have always had to call and make the appropriate noises.

As a handy tip, positively DO NOT wait for them to give you instruction. Call, make noise, find out your case number, read the NVC wiki on here, and you'll get through them much quicker.

29 days left of our 60 day wait for our documents to be reviewed; fingers crossed for speedy case completes for all.

Thanks Not a Tailor, I will definitly call them tomorrow to find out and also wait for their e-mail during the week. I'm surprised to get just one case number for a wife and kids.

finally i got my case number assigned by phone at the nvc on the 9 of january and i tried to give them my email address but they said they couldnt add it because my case number was barely generated they told me to call back in a few days whats next how long until they send me the bill or anything by mail

[nyala62 82]

I also talked to NVC this morning to get my Invoice number, but the lady told me that she can't make any changes to my case right now because they are currently working on it, so I should expect to hear from them in few days. So I crossed my fingers waiting .......I have already got my case number but no IIN Invoice number....So thanks Not A tailor

[nyala62 82]

Thank God Almighty, I start to receive mails from NVC today , " NVC Welcome letters". . It has the case number and the Invoice Id number for each one.

[nyala62 82]

Is NVC closed today Wed. January 14?....Did any body call them today?

[Not a Tailor 1,370]

It seems to be a phone glitch, Nyala. I got the "WE ARE CLOSED" thing a couple of times, but kept calling and am now on hold. There's a thread--other people had the same thing, but are reporting that the wait times are shorter, probably because people think they are closed.

[nyala62 82]

Okeeey. I'm trying now too to get hold of them...Thanks, Not a Tailor

Hello guys,

I m complete with both my fees and now submitting all the AOS docs.

I have question regarding that so please any one help me.

I am showing myself as a sponsor & as well as my parents.

My parents have supported at the time of my brother in law 2 years ago.

The minimum requirement pdf form on NVC website is little confusing for me. Once my husband will be here in the US we are living ourselves as 2 pPL but currently I m showing that my parents & I are sponsoring to my husband so IS THERE TOTAL HOUSEHOLD # SHOULD BE 4?

What should be minimum requirement do I need? Is it based on current income or based on last 3 years income? Is it really 30,000 based on pdf or something different?

Do I have to show my bank account balance? I mean HOW NVC will know how much I have in bank since they are not require any proof?

Please help me. If any one can explain me this in as much detail as they can it will be really appreciate.

I have seen atleast two VJ members who sent the IV and AOS documents just after paying the AOS fees without any problem. I think you should call NVC to confirm that. It's better to be sure. Me too thinking about to going that way once my AOS fee is invoiced and paid.

If you live with your parents and are dependent upon them, then you are part of their household. If you do not, then you do not count as part of their household count.

So let's say that your parents are sponsoring your spouse. Two years ago, they sponsored another person--their sponsorship requirements are ten years of support, approximately--so this person still counts. So their household is your mum, your dad, the other sponsored person and your spouse, for a total of four. If I am reading this wrong and they did NOT sponsor another person, and there are no children left at home with your parents, then the household is Mum, Dad and your spouse. For a total of three.

If you live in any of the continental US, if you and your husband will be living alone with no dependents, according to the 2014 I-184P, then you will look at the line for a household of two, meaning you need to make $19, 662/yr in order to sponsor without any joint sponsors. If you live in Hawaii, then that number is $22 612. If you live in Alaska, then that number is $24 575. This number assumes that you are not active duty military and that you have no children or other dependents claimed on your taxes.

You do NOT need to prove your bank account balance. You need to prove your income. This means presenting a W2, an employment letter, paystubs or some other thing, along with your taxes.

I was able to pay my AOS fees, but my reciept says I can submitt my AOS documents and other supporting documents before payin IV fees, is that right? I need help Not A Tailo and co........I'm confused now which one to do next, and my IV is not invoiced yet

You can submit all documents as soon as the AOS receipt and cover page are available to you. IV will take probably a couple weeks to be invoiced. Just make sure you print the AOS cover page twice. Write "IV Package" on the copy that goes before your civil documents.

I have seen atleast two VJ members who sent the IV and AOS documents just after paying the AOS fees without any problem. I think you should call NVC to confirm that. It's better to be sure. Me too thinking about to going that way once my AOS fee is invoiced and paid.

NVC has been repeatedly called. This is allowed, now.
