Info received by Moved from IR-1 ForumNVC Rep. Re: sending AOS & IV Packages - Is this accurate??

Hello All

I filed DS-261 a couple of weeks ago and paid AOS invoice (which showed as paid the following day). I recently read in a NVC Process Wiki Guide to call to confirm that the DS-261 was accepted and since my IV fee had not yet been invoiced I did so. I spoke to a rep who said that they recieved the DS-261 and will now process it since i had called- otherwise I am not sure how long it would have taken. The rep then told me that I should mail in my AOS Package and IV package NOW to expedite matters. I told him that the IV fee had not yet been invoiced and thus not paid and he told me that It is fine and actually better to send in BOTH packages now even though the IV fee is yet to be invoiced and paid. if I understand this right is it also not necessary to send with the IV Package- The Bar-coded cover sheet from payment portal- Since it is not available until the IV fee is invoiced and paid. I am posting this to see if anyone on this forum can verify that what I was told is true and whether I should send in the packages now or wait until the IV fee is invoiced and paid. Looking forward to your usual knowledgable responses.

Yes, people have done this on here with success. The bar code sheets should all be the same, it's a way to scan in your case number. So either the Document Cover Sheet they sent you, or the AOS bar coded sheet will work.

Congrats on getting moving with NVC! It's relieving to get to that point.

I wish you luck.. PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WITH WHATEVER INSTRUCTIONS YOU GET FROM PEOPLE AT NVC!!! I have done things the way someone told me to do it at NVC, and it ended up bitting me in the A$$. My cases are going to be at NVC for a year this March due to many misinformation from their part. Let's cross our fingers, and wish for good...
