NVC process questions important need help

[ksm999vj 0]

Case was completed Dec 15 at VSC
NVC sends email 2/9/15 (over 60 days) with case number and invoice number. NVC claimed its within 42 days window

I have some questions on the NVC process:

Why can everything just be mailed in one step (why 6 steps)

why do I have to wait for them to process my DS-261 why cant this be part of the application (unless I need an attrorney)

why can't I pay the IV fees?

Right now: I am stuck please help with next steps as its not clear what I need to do

1. Paid AOS fee $120 (IN PROCESS)

2. Completed DS-261 (PER NVC AGENT THEY NEED TO ACCEPT THE FORM, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT)

1.What can I do next?

2. WHERE DO I GET THE AOS FORM?

3. what other forms need to be sent its just so confusing

4.once we submit how long to wait?

IMPORTANT:

1. THE NVC ASSIGNED THE WRONG CONSULATE in the same country. this is just unbelievable

2. how to change my wife's name on the application to her married name? (per NVC need to send an email with her new passport copy scanned)

Is it only me feeling this or is this process really badly designed and intended to exert maximum torture on the applicants slowly and painfully at every stage by delays and slow processing

Thanks for your help

you know sometimes I wonder how people without VJ is dealing with all this!! not knowing the changes and what steps are next is frightening !

Yes every step is a long process but I will try to help you out :

well not sure if you have been to this link but I would start here if you haven't already

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

what you can do after you pay your AOS ? send both your packets off to NVC with the AOS barcode sheet

where to print out your AOS form? at the top of this site it has form download section or you can get them directly from link below

http://www.uscis.gov/forms

what forms need to be sent? its in this link or you can use your cover sheet that you got in your welcome letter from NVC

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

once you submit how long does it take? NVC is saying 60 days

why cant you pay the IV fee? because its not invoiced yet. its taking up to a couple weeks to 30 days for it to be open but you can call ahead after your AOS shows paid to see if you have luck of them releasing it early

assigned the wrong consulate? call them and tell them to fix it

name change ? I have no idea someone else can help

You sure it's the wrong consulate? What country are you since you have no flag up. You may me assuming its the wrong one?

Some countries may have 2 consulates but only one is for IR1/CR1.

the country is India and the embassy should be New Delhi which is the jurisdiction for applicants from northern India

they submitted to a far away consulate in the west of India in Mumbai which is several hours away from the residence of the beneficiary. We can go there but it is atleast two trips, via flight, hotels and hen we go there they might say sorry go to New Delhi. this is what worries me most.

any idea what to do:

As per NVC agent: (the Agent was somewhat nice given the level of normal nastiness we experience)

1. submit an email request with case number in subject and copy of new passport to request that the name be changed to married name AND request to change the consulate to NWD.

2. they said the time to reply to email is currently SIXTY DAYS, but I can continue processing of the case.

I am very worried they will mess up or other wise engage in further mental torture by again delaying for 60 days.
