NVC Thread for Canadians

At least for the name for the first one put n/a or --none--.

Make sure to rewrite your address even if the mailing address and physical address are the same. That's the most important section to make sure is not blank.

And thank you for the compliment!

Not every line but at lleast the first one to establish a pattern but it's not a bad thing for every one. Copy/paste may be your friend. (ctrl v/ctrl p)

NLR, you are so very helpful. I'm so grateful to you, and many others, who are helping us through this difficult and stressful maze. Please don't retire....yet!!

Oh I'm just not as active right now because I'm without my PC or even my tablet (broked! /cry) This site just doesn't work as well on a phone. There used to be a function that allowed me to look at the last post I've seen onward in "my content" threads. Now that function is only working in "new content" posts. Next week I should have a PC to use. Yay!

How is the AOS payment status for others? It's been three weeks since the case number/IIN were assigned and the NOT INVOICED statement is still taunting me.

I got my case number on 06/27/14. My D261 was available on 07/16/14 and my AOS invoice was finally available on 07/19/14. Slow going, for sure!

It should be coming soon. Do you have access to the forms portal? My AOS wasn't invoiced until right after I completed the DS-261 - 3 weeks after I received my case and Id #. Hold tight it should come soon. It's currently taking 20-30 days to gain access to the forms and pay fees.

Got my case # june 30 got access on july 18th about 12 am.

Hi Rlelle09 -- I see we have very similar timelines. Have you decided if you're doing EP or snail mail for your AOS and IV documents? Just curious...

I will be doing snail mail. Too many mishaps with EP. Emails going to junk or spam and files being too big, or just not receiving emails, or files are password protected. Not to mention it takes them 2 weeks to scan your files into the system - no thank you!! I will be using courier so I'll know it gets there, I'm okay waiting the 5 days for my packages to be scanned. How about you?

I was planning to do EP, but I've been hearing nothing but bad things about it recently. I was hoping things would improve -- I like the idea of not sending my original documents -- but it's not looking like that will happen anytime soon. Now I'm leaning toward mail. My husband and I are going to talk through it tonight and make a decision.

Horror stories!! I was a little weary about sending my originals as well, but I said ah well! Here in Canada it's not hard to get documents and the prices are not THAT bad. I am snail mail all the way. Have you been able to find the exact address for the NVC? The address in the cover letter in the wiki is different from what's on my NOA2.

No, I haven't looked into the actual mailing address yet. Another thing to worry about! It's on my to-do list this week. Let me know what you find out. Are you planning to mail your AOS documents soon? I'm waiting for the AOS payment to clear and then I'm ready to go -- just need to make the final decision on EP or mail.

I am! By the end of the week! I will definitely let you know what I find out! Please do the same. :-)

Will do!

Here's the address on my AOS document cover page:

National Visa Center

ATTN: CMR AOS

31 Rochester Avenue Suite 100

Portsmouth, NH 03801-2914

Is that the same as the address on your cover page?

I have not looked at the AOS bar coded cover sheet yet as I am on my tablet and have a fear that I might touch something i'm not supposed to. I've only looked at Saylin's cover letter in the wiki. Once I print my cover sheet, I'd be more than happy to let you know. :-)

No worries -- I completely understand

I just checked Saylin's cover letter and it's the same address as what's on my AOS document cover sheet. That's where I'll be sending mine if we decide to go with mail. I'm definitely leaning strongly that way now.

That's great cause I was really nervous about finding the right address! Snail mail just seems like the better option right now.
