Hello all!

First off, I have to say I have followed this forum since my case got to the NVC in June and have gotten lots of useful tips, learned the lingos etc etc.

Great to finally write a post and especially with good news.

So my AOS fee changed from paid to N/A today and thank the Lord, I have a case complete!. Phoned the NVC and after being on hold for 55mins I spoke to one of the reps (Ariel) who confirmed it.

I got back from work at 11pm and it was a great way to end the evening.

Last scan date September 3rd! A miracle, I know.

No checklists. Praise the Lord.

My case got to the NVC in June, but as an F2A. Took almost 2months to get it upgraded to IR1 after my husband became a citizen!

Then came the 30day wait to 30business days and now 60days.

If I have learned nothing else in this whole ordeal, it is that patience is a garment that must worn all day everyday.

I can identify with people who check every email waiting for that one email from the NVC.

My husband did most of the paper work but we were SUPER organized, i.e OCD type. Made sure we had everything and more before sending off docs. Attached cover letters to everything.

Saylin's guide is gold I must say (Thank you).

I read the travel.state.gov website line by line and can pretty much recite all the requirements by heart.

Knowing what originals you need plus copies is vital.

I know the feeling of seeing others whose cases have been completed and wishing the rest of us goodluck but still feeling left out.

This post is to say, it will happen to you too! That paid fee will change to N/A when you least expect it.

Feel free to ask me any questions.

Sorry for the long post!

Thanks. That's vey helpful, hope you get very fast and smooth process.

I didn't get notification from USCIS regarding case being shipped to NVC. I checked online status and its still says "post decision activity" and also it mentioned that they have sent approval notice to my address.

Did you get notification text/email about your file has been shipped to NVC, or you randomly check on USCIS website?

Yes. I got an email and text today saying that it was shipped today. My NOA2 was over 3 weeks ago. If your USCIS case status isn't updated, it might not have been sent yet.

I got my NOA2 on 9/24 and didn't get any notice that they shipped my case to NVC.

I just called NVC today and they received my case on 10/7 (a week ago), so I don't think the notice about being shipped is required.

Just keep calling them to check up on it...

Now I'm just waiting on a case number to be assigned...

Unfortunately, we received an AOS checklist.

Just wondering.... anyone receive a checklist and got a CC BEFORE 60 more days? or, Is it destined to be another two months for CC since we responded to the checklist?

Many thanks!

Thank you.

Used "snail mail". No EP or expedite.

Maybe the NVC is gradually starting to process Sept dates alongside late Aug dates? Who knows.

Congrats... Unfortunately my experience with Paid changing to N/A wasn't as pleasant as everyone on here. Got excited for nothing when mine changed... Called and was told I have a checklist for something I already submitted. Now got more calls to do etc. to get this sorted out.

I remember reading your post about that and was terrified when I called.

I told my husband,"this N/A is either a checklist or case complete" and did not want to get my hopes up.

Just the thought of a checklist, dear God.

Have they found your docs or did you have to re-submit?

Rooting for you. Hopefully it gets sorted soon and you can complete this lengthy process.

Nothing changed yet... will be calling again tomorrow, been hanging out at NVC since May I think it's time for me to move on to something more exciting :cry:

The funny part next day N/A changed back to PAID :ranting: ... good thing I took few screenshots to stare at whenever I need a "dose of hope" :rofl::rofl:
