Yup, me again with more questions...sorry to bother you guys so frequently :oops:

1. Got my case# friday and submitted the DS 261 right away. On here i´ve got told that i can have them review it with me over the phone. Can i do that at any time or do i have to wait for a certain period of time?

2. I see that some ppl send in their AOS & IV paperwork early on; as in before the IV bill is paid for example. So does that mean it doesn´t really matter when we send in the paperwork (or e-mail it since EP is an option for us too)?

Sorry if those are stupid questions but i just wanna get through NVC as quickly as possible and don´t mess anything up. Thanks in advance (F)

Didn't see that anyone answered your question so here goes:

1) you can call at any time. I called them the very next day after I submitted it.

2.) The only thing that you need for both the AOS & IV Packages is the Document Cover Sheet (DCS). the only difference between the two is that the AOS DCS says "Attn CMR AOS" and IV just says "Attn CMR".

If you have Adobe you can save two copies of the AOS DCS just delete the AOS from one and there you go. You don't have to wait until you pay the IV to get it. At this point though you may have already submitted everything.

Good luck!

how your scan date went all the way to 19 feb?

my scan date is 18 feb just after 3 days of submitting all stuff

my scan date is not 19. It's 5th

maybe a checklist? I'm 2/3 scan date and nothing yet. Hopefully this week

I'm hoping this week or the next

Thank you! Still waiting for the AOS fee to show as "paid" but I guess I'll go ahead and call them now for the review of the DS 261.

A bit confused about the cover sheet thingy but I guess I'll tackle that later. My supporting docs are on the way to my hubby overseas and will hopefully delivered soon.

Thanks again!

Thanks again!

After you pay the AOS fee, there is a page that shows a link that says "Document Cover Sheet" it has the beneficiary's name on it, case number with bar code on it. you'll put that on top of the AOS package. Same for IV package. It allows NVC to know which package goes with what. It's also recommended that you put your case number at the top of each individual document in the package. In case they misplace a document, the case number at the top will tell them which case it goes with.
