Congratulations to everyone who is getting good news! So great to see.

After some delay getting everything together, we finally got our AOS package sent out today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for no checklists. My parents surprised me by paying for overnight shipping with FedEx. :) I can't update my timeline, though. Haven't been able to get the edit option to pop up for a couple days. Anyone else having the same problem?

Now it's time to sit around and wait until the IV payment appears...

USCIS (Priority date April 1, Approval April 17, no RFEs)

March 28, 2014: I-130 sent via FedEx from Bogotá to Chicago Lockbox

April 1, 2014: Delivered to Chicago Lockbox at 10:29 a.m. according to FedEx tracking; signed for by J. CHYBA (date confirmed by My Case Status)

April 4, 2014: NOA1 e-mail received at 12:17 a.m.; case accepted and routed to CSC for processing. Check cashed.

April 17, 2014: Changed mailing address with USCIS Tier 2 representative. He also confirmed that our case had arrived to the CSC and that our NOA1 date is April 3.

April 18, 2014: NOA2 e-mail received at 12:30 a.m. Case status online changed to post-decision activity; date of "last updated" changed to April 17. Change of address e-mail received at 3 a.m. Status changed back to initial review on e-mail and online. Date of "last updated" now April 18. Called and spoke to two Tier 2 reps; both were useless.

April 21, 2014: Approval confirmed verbally by Tier 2 rep. Order put in to send second NOA2 hard copy to new address. Instructed to ignore online case status.

April 25 or 26, 2014: NOA1 hard copy arrives to old apartment in Bogotá. Priority date actually April 1. (April 3 was the notice date.)

May 16: USCIS change of address e-mail received

May 19: USCIS e-mail received saying a duplicate notice was mailed on this date. Case status now set to "Acceptance."

May 22: NOA2 duplicate hard copy arrives to U.S. address

NVC

​May 22, 2014: Case number and IIN assigned. Asked operator about our move from Colombia to Argentina and received instructions.

June 4, 2014: AOS payment invoiced, paid; DS-261 received by NVC

June 6, 2014: AOS payment shows as PAID in payment portal

June 25, 2014: AOS package delivered at 9:43 a.m. according to FedEx tracking; signed for by F.FNU

July 1, 2014: AOS package scanned

July 18, 2014: Checked payment portal and saw: "CASE NUMBER CHANGE: The applicant's case number, [bGT#], has been changed to [bNS#]." Called and confirmed. Also said today marked 30 business days since NVC received DS-261; operator said she would have that reviewed and make IV payment available ASAP.

August 5: E-mail sent to nvcinquiry@state.gov concerning changing our embassy BACK to Bogotá at 6:41 p.m. NVC time

August 6: IV invoice e-mail FINALLY received at 2:13 a.m. NVC time

They have definitely slowed to a crawl. It took my 53 days to clear NVC and I had no check list.

53 days to clear NVC without a checklist!? :wow:

That's the current average time in NVC according to the spreadsheet, but they include cases with checklists! :bonk:

So the current average timeline will increase as we complete the NVC stage this month and next month. :oops:

The only "positive" thing about the current NVC timeline is that getting a checklist on the AOS package is becoming a less issue since you'll have to wait for 30 days for the IV fee invoice from filling out the DS-261 form. :wacko:

If you send your AOS package (with a mistake) as soon as you pay the AOS fee, you'll get a checklist when you get invoiced for the IV fee. It'll still take 30 days for NVC to review the IV package and DS-260 form so they can review the IV package and the AOS checklist at the same time. :unsure:
