oh welcome. yea a few if not more have had luck , me for one. wait til your AOS shows paid though. they wont release it if it doesn't show paid, mine took 24 hours :):)

sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't its all about who you get..

Hi ItsGonnaBeWorthIt!!

I am keenly following your timeline, we mailed our package on Saturday Feb 7th, when can we call in to confirm receipt or after how long should we expect their scan date email? Another thing.. I am very nervous coz we left blanks in all parts which were N/A, that following instructions on i-864 form. Praying for a miracle now.

i called twice after ups said they got it but they still told me they didn't get it yet. so i just waited for the email . i got my emails days 4 and 5 for both packages with scan date in both 2/3 so i wouldn't bother calling unless its over a week and you haven't seen the email.

blanks :o:o . yes miracle is needed. i left all type of blanks in my i30 and it got approved with no rfe.. so miracles do happen! ;) by no means do i want you to get a checklist to wait another 60 days so im on the side for a miracle!!

Did you try to call and get it invoiced over the phone? if not you might be waiting a bit longer

I talked to a nice rep a few hours ago and she was able to add my wife's email address AND review the DS261, She did confirm what we've all thought that the review time frame (60 days) is for incoming piece(s) of mail.

Been checking for other timelines who did the same thing #TryingToBeObedient... and i am encouraged that they got NO checklist.. So i am just taking it to God in PRAYER!!

On average, how long does snail mail take to get to Portsmouth??

okay posters, can you be more specific about what you left blank....we've completed ours but not yet sent it in because we're waiting to pay fees first.

which parts did you leave blank and on which I864 form? we cannot do any other form other than the original one, not the EZ. we were wondering this too!

ie Part 3. he is only sponsoring me. do we place a n/a in all places for family members 1 through 5 or leave these blank? i've done google searches but its still greek to both of us :)

someone mention about waiting for the IV bill to be invoiced. I have a quick question that will nvc accept both packages if we send it right after we pay the AOS fee or we have to wait until the IV fee is invoiced? I have noticed that almost everyone in this forum used the barcoded sheet from the AOS fee for both packages (AOS and IV packages). But I read it few days ago some of us call the nvc and they say the 60 days period will not actually start until we complete the DS-260. is it true?

Thanks so much for any clarification and hope we all moving fast.

i have been at this for 10 months.. 60days? it will be a blink of an eye!

Why 10 months? Explain this please. We started the filing journey on 21st Oct.. so Feb 21st we close 4 months. 10 is rather very long.
