NVC

[APHoward01 11]

So I got my NOA2 from the USCIS it said not to contact the NVC for 30 days after they recieve my case. On the website it says my case was sent to the NVC september 8th. Do I need to contact them or will they eventually send me the documentation I need to continue the process?

Have you received the NVC case number?

Each embassy has its own requirments but you will need criminal invesitgation reports from spouse and IRS tax returns

As soon as you get the NVC case number, you should recieve the invoices to pay 2 fees / after they are processed you can filll out the I 864 and DS 260

After USCIS approves the petition, it is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). Once received, the NVC will assign a case number for the petition and instruct the applicant to complete Form DS-261, Choice of Address and Agent. (NOTE: If you already have an attorney, the NVC will not instruct you to complete Form DS-261.) The NVC will begin pre-processing the applicant’s case by providing the applicant and petitioner with instructions to submit the appropriate fees. After the appropriate fees are paid, the NVC will request that the applicant submit the necessary immigrant visa documents, including the Affidavit of Support, application forms, civil documents, and more.

You can contact them and get your case number so that you can progress the next steps on your case. Sometime it takes a few weeks until that case # is ready.

Good luck!

Yeah I havent recieved my case number yet, do they contact me with it or do i need to contact them after i wait 30 days?

[j&ana 363]

yes you should contact the NVC to get your case and invoice number they might not have it yet if not just wait a little while couple of days or a week and call back. The number is 16033340700 they are open from 7am to midnight EST. best times to call is early in the morning right when they open or late at night right before they close

According to another post you will be able to pay both fees. if so that is good. When I did my wife cr-1 visa you fill out the ds-261 choice of agent form and paid the AOS fee. The IV fee will not show until the DS-261 form was review. While waiting on that to be review you could send in both AOS and IV packets to start the review of your documents which is separate review process. After the packets was sent in. I was able to call in have them review the DS-261 over the phone then I was able to pay the IV fee and fill the ds-260 visa application form for my wife shortly after we had case complete

At the bottom of my signature is a webpage I am working on to help people from the Philippines doing a cr-1 visa. I just thought since me and my wife was able to do her visa in a short amount of time I will share what I have learn

Yes call them.. by now they should have your case #. I had the best luck when dialed the number right at 6:58AM

[APHoward01 11]

Ok will try in the morning hopefully they have assigned a case number already. Does the NVC ever send you any kind of letter or anything?

Do not wait for them to contact you, just be prepared for a long wait on the phone if and when you can get through to them, after they put you on hold it is a 45-60 wait ,.,.,.,at least.

Just hang in there with them, you can do it!

They will inform you that what documents they need from you it will be sort of a checklist and you will either receive it through email or hard copy may be both.

If USCIS sent your case to NVC on or around September 8th, they may have gotten it a week later.

My husband, the USC, got a letter from NVC after about two weeks, with our case number, IIN and instructions. I, the foreign spouse, got the same letter a week after that. So in your case, the USC should probably get the letter from NVC any day now.

My fiance received the letter from NVC last 9/14/15 and ive been waiting for the appointment letter to arrived on my mail.I also checked CEAC tracker using the MNL case # my fiance received from NVC and it says status is "READY" but i dunno if ill still be needing to wait for the letter from USEM before scheduling interview and medical.Anyone who experienced the same thing?

just to add to what the other posters here said, after you pay your AOS fees contact them again so they can update it asap, then the IV fee will be available
