Hi all, I just called and I didn't even get a busy signal! And then only 25 minutes on hold!

They also told me that my DS 261 was approved this weekend (September 6) and my IV fee should be unlocked any day. I submitted my DS 261 on July 28.

I was also going to ask a question about the fee increases but the agent on the line didn't know that the fees were even going up this week. Go figure.

If that is true.. Then they are working on saturday as well..

Wait, when was this updated?? If we have to send both packages together then it makes it harder to coordinate the civil documents with petitioner as one is all petitioner (AOS) and one is beneficiary (IV)

Confused as I'm waiting to send the AOS package. Now I'm thinking if I should wait to send both together :/

Although the 15 days to process is def not true

Oh My G - GUYS - GOOD NEWS FOR ALL OF US!!!

I don't know if this is 100 percent true but I just spoke with Sylvia (supervisor) she said that the new process do affect current packages. Once they get to one of your package, they are also pulling any other package you may have in the system to review them together. It seems to be faster. NOW LETS SEE IF THIS IS TRUE.....THIS WOULD BE AWESOME NEWS FOR ALL OF US!

Also, the date they are going by is whatever date is listed in that 60 day email they received.

IF THIS IS TRUE - OH GOD!!! Praying time....

This happened with Crisarria. AOS scan date July 14, IV scan date August 12 and they got a checklist for both AOS and IV packages on September 5 I think.

Im so excited... my fee has changed to N/A... going to call NVC now!

Scan dates:

14th July - FedEx delivered package

15th July - Scan date in 60 day email

17 July - Initial scan date quoted before 60 day email arrived

Crisarria is from Canada ans is doing EP. So it may be easier for NVC to review both AOS and IV packages together. Maybe they searched case number using MS Outlook? :idea:

However, I wonder how it works when someone sent AOS and IV packages separately by mail. :huh2: As far as I know, they can't sort through mail because it takes too much time. :unsure:

When someone gets expedited, they still have to wait for their packages to be reviewed before their interview date (or bring another set of documents so the embassy/consulate can review them at the interview) because NVC can't look for their package. :no:

Good afternoon everyone!!

1. I am following Saylins wiki and I have to wait for actual checklist email has anyone sent the corrections without checklist? Have you had any issues if so?

2. My checklist was for part 6 13a of AOS i placed adj income and not total. The checklist is for 2013 but I noticed 2012 and 2011 are also wrong should I correct them to not have issues for another checklist or should I only fix what they asked for???

Anyone please that has had this same issue.

Thanks to all
