I'm very aggravated right now I just called NVC spoke to a rep as I'm asking her if there's any update on my case she stays shut for about 2mins and then tells me oh you are going to have to wait until the 24 for an update call back that day or after like really my 60days are up on the 21st I'll be leaving the forum for a bit good luck to everyone I'm so over whelmed I don't even know what to think anymore it is what it is and it's very stressful when you call everyday and everyday they have a different story???????

STILL WAITING FOR A CASE NUMBER :cry:

I feel like no matter how much I read Saylin's wiki I still have soo many questions! which makes me soo thankful for VJ & all of the experienced members on here (L)

So as I'm re-reading Saylins very helpful wiki on EP & new online forms (for the hundredth time)... I read that the only form not available online is the I-864. I believe I found the form on another one of Saylin's links (bless her brilliant soul) & had my husband attempt to fill it out as I've read that it's helpful for this form to be filled out before hand. My husband was so confused, so we decided to have aN immigration lawyer help him to fill it out... well, he took forever to get the form back to us & charged us almost $300 for a half hour of his time including filling out the I-864 & answering a few questions I probably could have answered myself with a few searches of google. Anyways, earlier this week my husband finally got a copy & quickly scanned & emailed me the same. I wasn't able to really look at it until now & I'm realizing its already dated & signed by both him & the lawyer.. is this going to be a problem? would we be best to once it comes time re-do the form by just copying the information & dating/signing it with the current date? I imagine yes will be the answer but I just wanted to ask because he's now saying it was a total waste of time & money to have the lawyer do it if this is going to be the case. I'm really hoping the rest of the process forms are basic personal questions & not too confusing because this entire experience is starting to become soo overwhelming. I just want to be with my love already... 3 & a half months apart is enough for me already.

This anxious lady appreciates your update!! We have very close timelines. I'm hoping for my case # by the end of the week!!

Congrats and good luck going forward!

Kels2487,

It was only today I completed the Agent form and shortly after the AOS fee was open for payment. So we are on the same timeline now.

Check this website https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx to pay AOS fee

On this webite https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx its says pay the IV Fee now but the IV fee on the website above says to be invoiced so I have to wait.

I was looking through the Post and saw "ItsGoingtobeworthit" user name got IV Fee invoice in 3 business days after paying AOS. Hoping that could be us but we may need to make a call. The faster we can get through this process the sooner we can be with our loved ones.

Good luck to you and keep me posted.

Sky
