NVC Filers - January 2015

[Him&I 12]

Electronic submissions of all docs Nov 19.

Thanks for the reply and sorry again for your checklist. I would focus on filling out the forms correctly this time and sending them in ASAP. Goodluck to you dear.

Hello all, got NOA2 approval and am preparing the documents, question about I-864EZ form 16 question:

16. Your household size

a. yourself and the person you are sponsoring on this form - 2

b. your spouse-?

What should be filled for b? 0 or leave it blank as spouse was already counted in a.?

You should write 0 in it. Put 0 in all the items that are not applicable.

Thanks. I see in your timeline that you paid AOD and IV, is the the bar code same for the both items? I'm asking because when I get to this stage I want to send both packages at once once AOS has been paid and not wait for IV invoice. Also, looks like your process is moving very fast, is it expedited or something?

No it's not expedited. You can send both the packages after paying AOS fees. You have to take two print outs of AOS cover sheet. The barcode is same for both aos and iv.

My case was pending at NVC for four months because I was under F2A. You can see that in my signature. Recently it got upgraded to CR1. Maybe that is the reason the IV fee invoice was available quickly for my case. But that is just an assumption. There is a chance that the invoices may open quickly for other cases also.

I've seen other examples in Saylin's spreadsheet recently who have had IV invoiced either the same day as AOS or within a week or so. Maybe they're getting faster at that in general.

Good morning everyone.

If you send in documents to the NVC via email will you receive some kind of confirmation and if so, what is the timeframe from email to receiving this confirmation. We just sent in the I-864 required documents and the civil documents.

Thanks.

I literally JUST got my confirmation. Sent packages Jan 11, 2015. Got confirmation on Jan 27, 2015, that they were received Jan 12, 2015. Jan 12 is my scandate.

PLEASE NO CHECKLISTS

When are you hoping to have your visa approved?

[stevenjhepburn 1]

When looking at the times between IV payment and UK interview, it looks like my visa won't be approved until June-July. Would someone be kind enough to check my maths please?

How did your friend get to know? I thought nvc is close due to weather?

At least it is only a delay in the correspondence and not in the scan date! I know that is not comforting during the long wait to find that out though. Good luck and pray for no checklists!

She just checked on the website and aos fee changed to n/a.

I think you're mistaken. IV bill is never invoiced at the same time as the AOS invoice, since the IV bill is dependent on the DS-261 being submitted and added to the case file.

The only time where an IV bill will be invoiced right away is when the case has a lawyer attached, in which they're automatically selected as agent, thus by-passing the DS-261.

Be careful about that

Yes absolutely true.

My IV was invoiced 6 days after filling DS261. I didn't expect to be able to pay this quick but am happy.

Maybe NVC is invoicing IV quickly than earlier, even without a lawyer? (Just comparing the cases without a lawyer.)
