January 2015 I-130 filers!

[Kastrs 723]

Hi,

I called this morning and got our case number, what's the next step. When I called the operator said they dont have my email on file, however, I am pretty sure I filled it out on my file. She said it will take 28 days to get it by mail and that I can call back and provide an email address. She it might it just be that they are still not done putting my file in the system and that's why the email isn't showing up. She didnt my give me invoice ID number. What should I do. How long does it take to receive an email once the case number is assigned. At least the case number is assigned :joy: . one step closer to being back with my love.

Thank You.

call back and get the IIN

then you can try logging into CEAC to complete the DS261 and pay the AOS fee, it usually takes a few days after they enter your case before you will be able to log in

Hi,

I am the petitioner.

So I called this morning and got my case number and wasn't given the IIN. So I called again in the evening to get IIN. I was able to log in as soon I got case number and invoice ID number. I completed the DS 261 (choice of address & agent) and paid AOS fee. However, under the IV fee, it shows $ 0.00. Will it show an amount once the AOS fee shows PAID. I am a little confused on the process.

OR is it that this whole process has to be done by my husband as he's the one applying for VISA.

It would be great if someone can walk me through. What do I do once I get the case number and IIN. ( I know I did some but it would be nice to the exact steps to make sure i did correctly).

Thank You.

Please read the nvc wiki it goes through the process step by step

The IV fee will only become available after the ds261 has been reviewed, call the nvc in a few days and try to get it reviewed over the phone

Hi,

I wanted to know whether I should send my Tax returns and W4s or IRS transcripts in AOS package, Also, I will need a joint sponsor, does anyone know that process or has done it. On NVC wiki, it says petitioner needs to complete I 864 and the joint sponsor as well. Will it be the same form or different becuase I think its I 864W for joint sponsor, But I am not too sure.

We just sent transcripts and had no issues.

Not sure about joint sponsor stuff...hopefully someone else will be able to help

Hey I see your timeline. Did you send your packages before your IV invoice was available. I wasn't sure you could do that. If yes, than do i just get the form online., It would be great help if you can tell me what forms you used for AOS and IV packages and also how you obtained them. Thank You.

Yes, you can definitely send the AOS/IV package before the IV invoice is available. Send as soon as possible.

We received the barcoded Document Cover Sheet (see attachment) with our NVC welcome letter, before we'd even paid AOS. If you don't receive the welcome letter (as many people don't seem to) then you will need to pay AOS and then you will be able to print a barcode sheet.

Edit: attachment was too big

I paid aos fee yesterday but the document cover sheet looks diferent, it only provides address, beneficiary name, case# and bar code. It does not list the documents we need to send...could I still use the one from aos fee, I have not received welcome letter from nvc yet.

Yeah, you can just use that one. But you can refer to mine to make sure you have everything required, and in the same order

I wanted to start fillling out AOS ( I 864) and IV (DS 260). Do i just download them from online or do I have to wait for NVC. I would like to get it ready and send it out. I paid AOS on tuesday so it should be cleared out by next week. I just need the cover sheet for my IV package.

Thank you.
