I'm glad! We hit 2 months from POE this week, there's still a lot of adjustment going on but life together is incredible. All the ups and downs of the visa process are just a fading memory now, and that is definitely something for everyone here to look forward to :)

Done with the process and been almost two months, still you have not left us, a mini Saylin? Anyway, good phase or bad phase it passes and so will this.

Most people without lawyer always choose the petitioner as their choice of agent and the address will be the U.S address.

Your timeline didn't state the date you submitted your DS-261. If you submitted it today or few days back, I'll recommend you open the DS-261 and have it corrected but after you resubmit it DO NOT TOUCH THE DS-261 AGAIN because if you do, it will reset the date you will receive your IV bill.

**just my opinion**

It took a month waiting at NVC before we got a case number, but after that things moved very quickly. The disclaimer is that we got CC before the backlog began, packages were being reviewed in 2 weeks back then. Review times started creeping up very soon after. NVC used to be the "good" part of the process, where things happened more quickly and you could be more active in getting things done. It's a different world now :( I hope the increased fees will mean increased staff and an end to this backlog.

Looks like I got caught in the USCIS backlog and now NVC backlog.

Ssastry yes I did EP.

No I did not send IV dics before invoiced. My AOS i sent on July 14 and IV docs after fee paid Aug 12 but they looked at both at same time or at least thats what agent said today and requested the BC not found according to them in civil docs.

Your case is strange, they pulled both your packages and reviewed them together.

Hi everyone,

Im new and I have an question. My iv package was delived to nvc on June 26th, on July 11th, I got a checklist for my aos. Resent aos documents July 22nd. Called nvc today and was told my iv package havent been viewed as yet (71 days) and I have to wait until the 60days from the date of my aos last scan for everything to be viewed. Is this true? Or should my iv package have already been reviewed?

Thanks in advance

Seems like this is the new trend of reviewing all packages together.

Thank you very much!! Wishing you the very best of luck :)

Thank you for your wishes and I really need the luck, wishing luck to you too for the next step.

I am probably just dense but I'm trying to figure out how to find average dates between DS-261 submission and IV bill coming up for payment. Those two things are linked, correct? I'm impatient to pay my IV bill so I can start the form and send my personal documents. I know it hasn't been a long time for me but I'm getting increasingly scared that my husband will have to leave Australia without me in February :cry:

According to my spreadsheet, it's an average of 33 calendar days between submitting the DS-261 and the IV bill available to pay.

I just called NVC and asked about this last week. They told me it will be around 60 calender days between DS-261 submission and your IV bill appearing. I completed our DS-261 on July 17th and am still waiting to pay our IV bill. I'm sure we'll get it just in time for the fee to increase... :angry:
