Business day 35. IV invoice still MIA.

[Bojotron 2]

Does it matter if I send my IV package before I pay the invoice? I submitted my Choice of Agent form on the 3rd of June and still haven't been allowed to pay my IV invoice yet.

Hello,

thanks for sharing experiences

I just called NVC , today is 29 day for AOS application

I asked for supervisor review , the representative told me that its better to wait couple days because if i asked for supervisor review it may takes another 30 business days to get his reply

what do you think ?

We've got a supervisor review pending on our DS-261 and my husband was told it will be done by the end of this week. She might have said that to lessen the workload of the supervisor since you haven't waited 30 business days yet, but that's just a theory.

Hi Group,

Just wanted to say thank you for your support throughout this difficult year with immigration. After 16 months of this process, today at our interview we were approved.

Our initial interview was scheduled for July 21st at 6:45 am, and we arrived at 5am. At 6:40 am(40 minutes late) the embassy finally opened where we first gave in all necessary paperwork, followed by an attempt for fingerprints only to learn that the system was down.

At 8am the embassy told us ALL INTERVIEWS for the day had been cancelled due to the AC not working and the systems being down. All they told us was they would reach out to us at a later date via email and phone to reschedule the interviews. I WAS PISSED!!! My flight was supposed to leave that night and I just thought MORE WAITING.

After talking with friends, my husband and I decided just to show up the next day at the embassy hoping that we would be able to get in AND WE DID!!!

The following are questions that the Immigration Officer asked us:

1. How and when did you guys meet? (Through Facebook)

2. What did he think of me sending him a friend request?

3. Does he still have Facebook? (She asked for his email to see his page)

4. Do we still talk through Facebook?

5. What phone do I have? Then she asked him in spanish what phone and what phone he had.

6. How many times did I visit?

7. She asked him what did he do that made me want to keep coming back.

8. Do we have kids together?

9. How old are his kids?

10. Do they have the same mother?

11. Was he married before since he had two kids with two different women?

12. She asked to see our pictures , and asked questions about the wedding. - How come my family didn't go, and what did we do afterwards?

13. If he went to college, or at least finished high school?

14. What did I study in school, and then she asked him in spanish what I studied in school. (I graduated college way before I met my husband)

15. I took a binder of bank statements, conversations, and trips, and she asked me to give her anything that would help.

The lady was very friendly and the questions were asked almost as though we were having a conversation, you can tell she was trying to make it as comfortable as possible.

We were very upset though with how the embassy handled the situation on canceling interviews last minute and not even giving a time frame as to when they might be rescheduled.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY, whether I spoke to you or not, I was always reading everybody's comments and notes so I could learn from them. Thank you Saylin for your advice and encouragement along the way

God bless you all!!

Beneficiary ID has been removed from the DS-260 sometime ago. Redundant information since the form is digitally linked to individual beneficiaries.

You should call NVC and find out what's wrong.

Business day 35. IV invoice still MIA.

It was 31 business days yesterday and I got the IV bill invoice email from NVC but up till now the invoice is not yet available online. I just spoke with a supervisor in NVC now and he said it will be available any time from now till few days. Am just so pissed off and tired of checking the website to see if its available to pay. This whole process is just fr

Frustrating.

Does it matter if I send my IV package before I pay the invoice? I submitted my Choice of Agent form on the 3rd of June and still haven't been allowed to pay my IV invoice yet.

I submitted my DS-261 June 5th, got the IV bill yesterday but its still not available up till now. The supervisor my husband spoke with on Friday said we can send the IV package with the AOS cover sheet. The Supervisor I spoke with few minutes ago advised that I shouldn't send the IV package with the AOS cover sheet to avoid unneccessary delay. So I will just wait for the IV bill to be availabe so that I don't delay my process.
