No it shouldn't mess anything up, plus there is an option that you select as who you are, and I select petitionor every time. Then I would click the first option on the website where you select agent because in that section you can also see the two fees below it without touching them.

Also I managed to print off photos last night just because im paranoid. I checked Sarajevos requirements but they are ancient so better send more than less... Am I right?

I will send them off today during my lunch hour.

I agree, if it gives you peace of mind then definitely send them. Just bring them to the interview as well and you should be more than ok! :)

It shall be done! Plus my wife needs two for the medical, so she has 4 prepared there anyway. And if I am able to make it for the interview I have one more copy :D.

I just logged on to the CEAC site and both our AOS and IV fees are ready to be paid, just freaking sitting there waiting for our lawyer! So frustrating, 11 days wasted so far.

I had a copy of my husbands to use for NVC. When we received our RFE from USCIS (they lost our passport photos), I was able to respond the next day to our RFE because I had a copy of his. Every time he comes to visit I make him bring me some because Canada/US mail takes over 10 days! :)

I had mine on a usb so I printed them out at Walgreens. Also... I am still waiting for the IV fee to unlock. Why is it taking so long?

Ironic-You're waiting for your IV to unlock and mine IS unlocked but yet I can't do anything. I still haven't received a welcome letter..why is that taking so long? I don't think they have any a specific protocol they follow, everyone has different experiences - it's just crazy.

When my husband and I started this process in May we wanted just "peace of mind" that all the right documents would be used, sent etc so we hired an immigration lawyer. I then started researching and learning as much as I could about the process because we wanted to know as much as our lawyer or if possible more. I am glad I found these forums, I always wanted to be one step ahead of our lawyer, and so far I have been doing pretty good. So here we are 7 months later and hopefully a few months away from our final approval. :thumbs:

O.k so I just called NVC to confirm they even mailed or emailed out a welcome letter. They said they emailed it to our Lawyer on 12/18 and didn't understand why I didn't receive an email as well. They confirmed my email address, it was correct on file. I asked them if they could resend it to me and the rep said she wasn't able to, that I would need to talk to another agent. She said I could try calling back. Anyone ever hear of this, is it because we have a lawyer?? I don't know if I should wait for my lawyer to get back from vacation to have him confirm receipt or do I try to call again? So frustrated.

I was shocked they mailed it. And the only email they have is mine here in Nigeria and they only got the on the 18th when we called to get case#.

I thought they looked at petition for emails.

I doubt I can go to sleep but here it's 11:15pm. Oh what to do.

Hi everybody !!

I just received the welcome letter today !!

It doesn't say more informations that the ones in the NVC website... But well, at least we received it !!

We were able to pay the AO fees and it's shown as "PAID" but the IV fees are still "locked"... I don't even know if it's locked, it's just say "PAY NOW" but i'm not able to pay as it's 0$.....

I guess we have to wait !!

Merry Christmas !!
