Hi All,

How come that in the NVC website, the instruction is to send the AOS and IV docs in one package?

But from what I see in this forum, seems everyone is sending the AOS and IV independently or separately.

Why is that?

Yes before we used to do that but NVC just changed the rules I read not long ago in this thread and now they are both being sent together and the prices are going up Sept 12 Th I believe. I think it's best to send them both together and I think they will be reviewing them together also not 100% sure.

ugh. I seriously hope that price increase actually helps them solve some of this backlog, otherwise we are paying 95 dollars more for nothing! My five business days from when they said they reviewed my ds261 is on the 11th so I hope we get that day. It's cutting it really close!

Sorry, just clarifying.

-- "yes before we used to do that" do what? sending AOS and IV package together or sending the two separately?

-- "but NVC just changed the rules" what rule was changed? before it was together and not separate or the other way around?

Please clarify.

Thanks.

i leave for america on the 20th for a month, just invoice my damn IV fee so i can send the package and wont need to think about this visa process for a month.

Just received the actual NOA2 hardcopy and it now saya to wait 30 days before contacting NVC. I guess it's no longer a 60 day wait.

It is no longer a 30-day wait too, wait for USCIS case status to change to "we shipped this approved case..." Then make a call in about two weeks and NVC should have your case, find out what date they received it and again in about two weeks from that date they'll have your case number.

[dilmera 124]

I received another checklist. Will I have to wait another 60 days when they receive my new documents? It's been 50ish days since they got my documents from my last checklist. Do I really have to start the wait over???

hi, so sorry to hear about your checklist. What went wrong this time?

I'm not an expert but there are countries that still have arranged marriages and I do believe India is one of them. If so I would think they would expect this and not think anything of it.

But the more proof you have of a Bona Fide marriage you have the better as in wedding pictures letters, Skype conversations I just click on PrtScm/Sys Rq next to the Scroll Lock on my keyboard then bring up Paint click on paste upper left hand of Paint you will see the picture of Skype conversation, to make it smaller, click resize put 50% to bring down the size then click on button above Paste button and click on Save-As save it to a folder then print it out and send via mail to ( I sent to NVC) but you can wait to send it to the Embassy when you get to that point. Also cell conversations but I had no luck with that cell phone companies didn't even respond to me. Pictures of gifts he sent you and you can also have friends write letters about you to and there interaction with you. Better if they are US citizens.

Anyone know how to get phone records? I failed at this.

We need to send our phone records?? Lol we talk til 4-5 am..we talk for at least 8-9 hours a day.. when and where do we send that??

Well you would've sent that with your initial petition package to USCIS as proof of bona-fide marriage. You dont have to send phone records, its just more proof.

Your husband can take call records and any additional proof to the interview as well to further prove the legitimacy of your marriage

The last person that got a CC had scan date of July 17th. All things be equal if NVC speeds up they should get to July 29th in 2weeks.

Thank you so much. This 60 day thing is killing me

Oh yea, I have countless chat records, emails, skype records, and not to say, my call log running into 400pages or more. Mom used to yell at me, I am always on the phone, But after seeing this, I think I never realized it, but its soo true..lol.

You need to carry this for the interview

I think they have paties with the extra money and find interesting ways to hold us up and lose our documents. I saddly don't think it will make a bit of a difference. And I think it's more like $127 dollars both fees are going up AOS and IV. What a crime, I pray all goes well for you.

Sorry about that, yes we used to send the AOS when the bill came due and paid it then sent them off and waited for the IV to come due and pay it.

The rule they changed is I think after Sept 12-2014 both fees will be payable and you get to send both the AOS and IV in together.

Before you sent them in seperately

Now or after Sept 12 Th you send them in together.

Nope you don't "have" to send anything if you don't want. It's what I have seen but I for one haven't been able to get any records for cell phone calls texts etc. Just telling you what I have read about proof of bona fide marriage.

Well you would've sent that with your initial petition package to USCIS as proof of bona-fide marriage. You dont have to send phone records, its just more proof.

Not all Embassies accept taking this to the interview as in Egypt does not accept it but can be sent to the Embassy before the interview.
