NVC Filers - July 2015

[SiVin 8]

U mean your husband paid IV twice,right?...when does he mail it?

you can check my signature, we mailed long back on 15th June. Both in one single moneyorder $445, but they said only AOS is PAID. So we paid again for IV. We don't want to delay because of this payment.

[SiVin 8]

Our DS-260 became available 2 days after paying it (again!) online..

We will try to figure out about refunding the fees once the case is complete, we're afraid it might mess up the process if they cancel a payment and refund it while it's still going on.

Yep we too think the same. I planned to send a mail as soon as I am done with NVC. I have all the proofs with me.

grrr i forget where you are stuck, did you mail in the IV fee and still not showing paying online, maybe monday is your day, the website had said give them till end of monday to fully fixing the website. praying for you. i am on the same timeline as you or worse, uscis took 6 months for me instead of 5 which it took for most, hoping for a speedy next step for all of us.

We were pretty much in the same spot then, it took us 6 months too ( 179 days)

We are now at :

Ds261 reviewed on 6/1

AOS paid on 5/21, still showing as not paid

Sup review since no IV bill was ever issued.

You are way ahead of us now

Glad to hear you are moving along.

I am looking at so many positive movement over the weekend yet we are still at the exact same spot - forgotten.

This is getting f'ing ridiculous. So, nothing happened of my escalation of Supervisor review from May 26. They again initiated another supervisor review for DS-260 on Jul-01 and they said again my timeframe of 42 days for review starts all over again. So pissed off!!!!!

Same here

This feels like someone has pressed an unnecessary pause on our lives.

NVC keep apologizing and apologizing

Although it's nice to hear at them at moment, the apology does not help at all.

We have sent two proofs via express mail, and one via email

And still.. Nothing

Keep being told that AOS fee has nothing to do with IV fee

And I do see people here being issued both at the same time

Not us, we have to wait and hear apologies.

My mother in law passed away two weeks ago - I wasn't there

I am really trying to stay positive but this weekend was extra hard reading about a lot of progress being made

We are still at the same spot.

I am praying for some movement on our cases too.

Hey guys!!...who among you paid IV by mail on 29th of June and showed IV fee as PAID on ceac website now?..it's still not paid for me..just show the amount

I paid both AOS AND IV by mail (june 25) two separate money orders with corresponding invoices in one envelope..as soon as i got access online (3 weeks unable to sign in until yesterday) it showed both fees PAID..

Hello! I'm new to the NVC process, and while I'm waiting a few more days to call to see if they've received our case, I just had a few quick questions about what awaits me in the process (I read the wiki a few times, and searched, but wasn't able to find exactly what I wanted to know!)

- Can I already start getting together the documents for the AOS/i-864? I'm filing from abroad so need a joint sponsor, and just wondering if they can already send me their tax transcripts and paystubs? Or should the paystubs be dated for the same month as when I send the package? I don't want to do things to early and then have to redo everything later.

- How have people with joint sponsors dealt with filing out the i-864? Do you do it for them, then email it and they sign it and mail it back by post so you have the original signature? I've started to fill out mine, just to get all the information in one place, but I read for the real one on the portal there's a barcode. So I'd need to fill in their joint sponsor form online, print it out, and send it to them, right? Or print it out empty and fill it in by hand? If you fill it out for them, do you need to complete part 9, information on preparer, or is that more for lawyers?

- I know I'll need to get proof of reestablishing my domicile in the states, there's tons of info on that on the forums, but what do I actually put in part 4 question 5 "country of domicile"?? Does it have to be USA? I feel like that's lying is I haven't reestablished my domicile yet, but I guess the whole idea for USC abroad is that your domicile has always been the states, and you've just temporarily been away for years and years?

Thank you so much for your help! From all that I've been reading, this is going to be a long process no matter what, so hoping your insights and help will make it go a tiny bit faster/smoother!!

The tax transcripts can be obtained on the IRS website (you get them immediately) or you may request by mail (takes longer). We filed only the IRS Transcripts printed from the website instead of all the different forms and it's just fine.

for all that were stuck with Ds-260 after IV fee was mailed in, and now see PAID for IV fee, do you see you lines/two receipts at the CEAC portal or just the AOS receipt?

My IV fee shows paid and i was able to complete ds-260 but when i click on Paid next to IV fee just shows me AOS receipt for now. Another friend who is couple months ahead of me has two lines one for AOS and one for IV fee, maybe since it just got marked as PAId in the system the receipt will come along in next 2-3 days?

I feel your pain, seems like we both are/were in the same boat. you could not request expedite with your MIL's passing? our neighbors daughter (over 21) case was granted expedite when he was on death bed and though she did not make it before the death, her interview was 1-2 days after death, she made it to the funeral. This process is just tearing our families apart. I have a family situation but can't request expedite (luckily a happy one), but a lot riding on my hubby being here. the happy times and his being away are causing delays on the occasion hence the stress. sigh... hang in there my friend, we all shall be done with this hopefully soon.

as for your aos fee does it show paid or not even that? is it just the IV fee being stuck now coz you mailed them together?

You still have to call them and have them review. ...that's the big secret
