Hoping and praying we don't get a checklist. Halfway through the waiting period now. I worry about a lot of things I might have done wrong that I thought were right.

And hope that whoever reviews my case is forgiving of any tiny mistakes. Like I wondered did I put gross or adjusted gross on the form? I sent tax return, w2, tax account and tax return transcripts. I sent so much stuff! About 77 pages in the end for my AOS and the IV package. IV was only 9 of those pages LOL.

I worry about stuff like me filing "head of household" on my taxes. It was my understanding that's the one I should be doing, but suddenly I'm not so sure.

LOL

I just counted my sheets, 28 in all. Going to send my package todaay.

I think tiny mistakes will be forgiven

Good luck!

I'm sure the -20 days trend will continue as it seems the NVC has been picking up the pace in August. If I have to give advice on organizing the AOS/IV package, make sure to... 1) Organize everythin

It is highly unlikely that your petition would be approved within a month. Think somewhere between 4 and 6 months. Also, this thread is for people who have already had their petitions approved and are

Good luck!

I get to justify it a little by saying I had to do a joint sponsor so there are 2 versions of everything.

Good luck to you!

You are the second person I have noticed in this thread with a case complete, 21 days after the scan date. So they can go faster than 30 days if they want to lol.

I haven't called yet which is taking much restraint lol. I am going to call this Friday just to check in, maybe see if I can get an update without asking for an update lol.

Interesting they say probably.

I received an email this morning saying NVC received documents on 08/20/2015 and to allow 30 days.

I submitted my DS-260 on 08/21/2015 so would the 30 days start from the 20th or the 21st?

And whats your guys's scan dates? It seems like the three of us are in the same vicinity at this point ... am I right?

And another member just posted a 20 day CC so hopefully we too can receive that 20 day CC.

BTW which three boxes will the three N/A's show up when it's completed?

Last question lol will the "civil documents" and "AOS Documents and Financial Evidence" always say N/A?

Well, my documents scan date is 12th of August and I submitted my ds-260 on 19th of August. I asked the same question and everyone here on visa journey told me to start counting from when they received the documents.

I too hope we get a CC so soon! Gosh that is all I practically think about. Getting to my husband.

And, yeah. The civil and aos documents will always be n/a, but the aos fee, iv fee and iv application boxes will change to n/a.

Interesting isn't, because when you had called them they said they didn't receive it on 8/20, similar to what happened when I sent mine in. Urvashi has a jump on us by a week or so lol. My scan date is 8/19, only one day ahead of yours.

a 20 day CC is the goal now.
