The NVC Moral Support/Ranting Thread

[Robisons 91]

called to check up on my IV fee status and got great news! DS 261 was reviewed two days ago so I should get the fees soon!!! Maybe the sleeping giant is finally awake hahaha

I have a question i asked in the main NVC thread, ill put it here. I asked the rep who should I mark the package attention to, he said whatever is on the AOS sheet, which is attention CMS. But the NVC site shows attention DR with this new process update.

So am a bit confused now. Anyone who just got the IV fees invoiced, what does your document sheet show?

This is from the NVC site

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

Woohoo!!

I was just about to ask if you have yours yet. My invoice was generated 2 days ago but I only received it today. I didn't think it was available at it was still "PAY NOW" in red but when I clicked on it it was billed.

I had my IV fee issued today and the IV bar-coded cover states this address:

National Visa Center

Attn. CMR

31 Rochester Avenue Suite 100

Portsmouth, NH 03801-2914

I sent my IV package before I got the fee and I put CMR/DR (civil documents inside).

My package arrived perfectly on Sept 11th.

Now I am waiting for DS260 becomes available. I think by tomorrow. I will submit it then. Will it be my last scan date or the Iv package one?

Ah, thank you for that! Hmm I think I'll just attention DR and include the document cover sheet they emailed a few weeks ago. I'm guessing this is the new process for those that need to submit both together.

Your last scan date will be the IV scan date (:

Send to the one your cover sheet has, mine said CMR as well.

Congratulations! Seems like a case complete!

Your package determines the last can date. Since they took over two months to unlock my IV fees, I ended up sending my package in advance too. They checked my DS-260 with the package, even though I filled out the form almost a month after.

Your last scan date will be the IV scan date (:

I would advise against that. Since you have a cover sheet for the IV package, please send it to the one listed on the cover sheet. That's just my opinion though.

Hmm that's what I have been wrestling over. I totally agree with your line of thinking. I'll call once more to confirm tomorrow and send it off. The rep also stated to attention whatever was on the bar code sheet.

Thanks!

Got our IV invoice during the night. Ketsuban, you still hold the record for the longest wait!!! Ours was 58 days from DS261 to invoice.

No Case Number yet

Eager to get started...

Hello and welcome!

My signature and timeline should hopefully tell you quite a bit. My case was expedited at USCIS and was approved on July 10th and then it took around a month to submit the first "form" (DS-261) to NVC on Aug 13th. I then paid the AOS fee on Aug 14th and sent my documents the following week. I sent both the AOS and IV documents together and waited from Aug 13th to today to receive the IV fee. Therefore, i've only been at NVC since the end of July. I now need to wait "at least 60 days" from my last scan date (Sep 3rd) before a checklist or case complete.

I hope that helps somewhat.

Best wishes!

Nice one I don't think I'd be happy if someone was waiting over 70 days, it'd be best if I remain the super-awesome-mega-invoice-waiter. Where do I get my trophy?

[AustinCanada 681]

Yup it's been 3 months 17 days uptil now for me since my case number was received. I would have been done if I had no checklist. But still praying that I don't break all records at Nvc timeline for the longest case complete

LOL! I hope you don't set a world record of the longest waiting time at NVC!

I hope you don't get a second checklist on your AOS package. Fingers crossed!

[TargetNovember14 41]

Am i reading this correctly….the scan dates right now are of July 25-28, where people are getting either case completes or checklists. So does this mean NVC is ahead of its 60 days schedule Because shouldn't they be on July 17 cases….?? Not complaining…i am just amazed NVC is getting its groove on….. . Hopefully this is a more permanent thing and not just a fluke
