NVC Process - making sure i understand this correctly

[kwiz 0]

Hello everyone,

I have been reading about the NVC process in these forums but i wanted to make sure that i'm not missing anything and maybe someone can answer my questions.

So basically I received the NOA letter from USCIS with a notice date of march 30, 2016, stating that the I-130 application was approved and transferred to NVC for both of my parents and that the NVC will contact the beneficiary with the next steps, which makes me wonder:

1. Am i not going to be contacted or receive the instructions as the petitioner? My parents pretty much can't be handling any of that with the language barrier and i wanted to be the one who handles everything up until the point they would have to go to the interview.

2. The things i've been reading on the forums state that i should be calling NVC to check if a case number has been assigned and if so, ask them for the case number and Invoice Identification Number and also says not to worry about asking for the Beneficiary Identification Number because it's no longer needed. Is this correct? and also does this relate to my first question and allows me to handle the process instead of my parents?

And as far as the next steps, are these correct and in the correct order?

1. submit ds-261

2. pay IV fee

3. pay AOS fee

4. submit ds-260

5. mail supporting/financial documents to NVC.

Thanks in advance!

We are going through the same process. I can just tell you what happened in our case as we are a tiny bit ahead.

I called and found out the IIN and Case number. Didn't ask for the BIN number. This allowed me to login, submit DS-261 and pay AOS fee immediately. I was also worried about my parents receiving the package, but a few days after this I actually received the same information by regular mail. About 3 days after paying AOS fee it showed up as paid in the system. About 10 days after DS-261 the IV fee was invoiced. Paid the IV fee. It's been 6 days now and the fee still shows as "In process".

Your list of upcoming steps is almost correct, at least in my understanding. The only change is 3 happens before 2.

You as the petitioner can do all the contacting and forms if there is a language issue. Just make sure you answer all the questions correctly.
