Guys... Register for courier services only.

Do it after your CEAC says ready. Yes you need the confirmation for the interview day.

Race you to the back of the elevator. According to Saylin, thats the hot spot.

I'm going to put your worries to an end then. I had my interview Wednesday and my passport is available for pick up today. That's 2 days. Now if you go back and look at Canadians over the past months,

Merry Christmas to you all as the holidays loom upon us! I still have this thread followed, and just want to express that Saylin's general NVC thread is still a wealth of information that would help

Ok I see, was making it harder than it needed to be, as usual. Sorry!

Thanks once again NLR - I played around in the site some more and figured it out. My CEAC says "ready" so will sign up for courier services today.....

Peace. :)

NLR - It's a bit confusing, but hopefully I did it correctly. I chose courier services only, but was curious about the option that was Immigrate to the US - NVC scheduled interview. I've printed the confirmation, but please clarify for me if you can, so I'm sure. Thanks!

guys, i will be sending my AOS and IV this weekend, together. Should i send as attention DR (this is what it says now on the NVC site)

OR should I attention CMR as it says on the bar code sheet that is on the portal?

P.S I also got their new document cover sheet email two weeks ago (its like a checklist of things to include and to check off what I have included)

Method 3: Mail processing

If neither Method 1: Email processing nor Method 2: Choice of processing applies to your case, mail your financial forms and evidence, supporting documents, translations, and photocopies, with the Document Cover Sheet included with your NVC Welcome Letter, to the following address:

National Visa Center
Attn: DR
31 Rochester Ave. Suite 100
Portsmouth, NH 03801-2914

August 14th 2014 - AOS Fees Invoiced and Paid

September 17th 2014 - IV Fees Invoiced and Paid

September 19th 2014 - DS260 Completed

October 6th 2014 - AOS and IV Packages Received

November 28th 2014 - AOS and IV Checklist (4 items in total. 3 for documents they lost. Called on December 9 and a rep said no checklist for IV....go figure)

December 8th 2014 - Checklist scan date.

December 30th 2014 - Case Compl........NOT. So after not having an interview date yet, I called again on Jan 30th and apparently its in final review with a supervisor.

Doesn't matter, DR or CMR. They route it. Address is the exact same.

Why are you mailing vs emailing?

Thank you

i was debating about it, read both sides of the arguments. Saw more people had trouble with emailing vs mailing, and (unless I am wrong, please correct me if i am) the processing time is identical.

So figured I would just mail it all out and be done with all the paperwork and not worry about it during the interview.

If emailing had a faster processing time then i would probably do emailing.

Hi everyone,

My wife and I are finally almost ready to send her IV documents. It has been a nightmare getting her police clearance from Taiwan which she dropped the ball by not submitting sooner ugggh (lol). This is the last step in emailing her documents and than waiting for a case complete. Assuming no checklist what is the timeframe for a case complete and then an interview? I am trying to read other posts for info. Great idea for this thread. Any new updates for the Montreal embassy, also? All replies will be greatly appreciated.

Oh god no. To all. They don't normally do a drug test. Poe is fairly simple, may take 30 or 40 mins more at most. Just some ffingerprints and signing a piece of paper.
