Thx

About what we talked about with the photos.

And about the ds-260, it´s a lot of typing, make sure you have all papers next to you and you will be fine.

At the end you will get a option like always to print it all.

I did that and i printed the bar code you need to bring to the interview.

What are people referring to when they say third n/a?!?! If the status under AOS and IV says paid, and should switch to n/a when case is complete- where's this third n/a people keep talking about over and over?

Civil Documents already is n/a

AOS support documents is already n/a

The 3rd n/a is when AOS fee changes from PAID to n/a

yup.... i liked the detail you posted

Question:

In your signature timeline you indicated you received an email from ASKnvc@state.gov.

Did you inquire via email to NVC and informed them about your email before you completed your DS-261?

How did you find out about your case and invoice numbers?

I am asking because I am trying to verify the theory of inquiring to NVC via email about a week after NOA2 enables the applicants to be informed automatically by NVC via email about their case numbers without calling. Its just a therory that so far has worked for three members including myself.

12 days to the NVC receiving your case...thats awesome. Im at 14 days, still no word after Noa2 . Fingers crossed they get mine soon.

Good luck to you!!

Try what I did so NVC more than likely will email you as soon as they assign your case and invoice number.

Question:

In your signature timeline you indicated you received an email from ASKnvc@state.gov. Yes i recieved it.

Did you inquire via email to NVC and informed them about your email before you completed your DS-261?Nope i just received it from them looks like they already have my email address from the I-130 filing.

How did you find out about your case and invoice numbers? Called NVC about status and i got it over phone and then received email about it.

I am asking because I am trying to verify the theory of inquiring to NVC via email about a week after NOA2 enables the applicants to be informed automatically by NVC via email about their case numbers without calling. Its just a therory that so far has worked for three members including myself.
