Good idea, but you'd have to go bmget photo paper if you're printing it from home. Or maybe you can pick it up in the store?

Yeah you just order it online and pick it up in store. They print 2 per order and I believe it was between $10-12.

I thought that there was a form you had to submit with them and you also have to sign that form. A friend of mine already has sent their RFE back and I was asking questions today. I'm pretty sure there is a form that has to be mailed with it and it comes with an envelope too. So unless he gets the letter before he comes we'll have to get the evidence and wait until he gets back home. It will delay it a further 9 days but rather than then they RFE again or send a denial.

It's him that needs to do it because he's the petitioner in the US.

I am waiting for nvc process to get completed however when my fiance called nvc was told to call after 35working days that's almost 1 and a half months.. and we are on 10 working days approx from date of approval..what more checks are going to happen there? And that's a really long wait I feel.. and when she asked if they received our case the answer was still the same. So I guess we will have to wait it out that time period or if there is any other way to find out..

Thanks once again

And congrats for all your approvals people and wish good luck for the ones who are waiting..

They told me the same thing, but it only took half that time for them to tell me it arrived. Now I am getting the same line about the numbers being assigned. Now you have one of two options, wait or call. My plan is keep calling ever couple of days, because others have said that it only was a couple days before their numbers were assigned. So they say patience is a virtue, and I know I have zero LOL. Hang in there it will happen soon. I will be glad when it done tho.
