My AOS package sitting in mail room since 6/2/2014. Will call later today if no emails.

You won't get an e-mail about the AOS being approved or check listed for at least 3-4 weeks.

NVC doesn't e-mail you when the packages are scanned in, if that's the date you want the only way to find out is to call.

5/21/2016: Mailed I-751 packet to CSC

5/23/2016: NOA1

7/29/2016: Biometrics Appointment

11/22/2016: I-751 Approved!

Congrats to all of the long awaited interviews assigned today!! and of course to everyone else that has received good news in the past few days.

It seems like NVC is rotating on batches of things. Last week there were a bunch of case completes all at the same time. Then nothing much happened until today a bunch of interviews were assigned. Maybe the same has happened for invoices and forms being available, but I haven't been paying as much attention to those.

So instead of working on everything simultaneously, maybe they are going back and forth between working on all of the different NVC stages? One of their strategies to deal with the back log?

It seems like there is no point in calling NVC again. Do you guys think calling NVC office again will make them to review your case sooner?

If that were the case, then everyone would be calling non-stop and we'd have case completes in a week ;)

Yes, I agree. :) That's why I am asking/saying - I see many posts saying that they have called and get the same answer up to 30 days to receive IV invoice etc. I think there is no point in calling once you receive case number and invoice number.Afterwards, you just check online for DS-261, AOS Fees and subsequently for IV invoice. Am I right?

Although you don't need to call (as no, it won't speed anything up), I still recommend calling once a day to have the latest, up-to-date status of your case. But, that's just me. Everyone can do what they wish with their own case ;)

Sorry to bother. Silly question here.

Can you submit a DS-260 form online on behalf of your spouse. Does she have to fill the form out herself?

Thank you

I haven't got to that stage yet, but my understanding from reading Saylin's guide is that it is ok.

I meant ok for the petitioner to fill it out on behalf of the benficiary.
