Hi everyone, my nvc received date is May 3rd, but still no updates yet. Quick question regarding sending transcripts, do you open the envelopes or leave them sealed as they come from IRS?

Thanks, and congrats to those who got CC.

Hello. could someone let me know what is this 3 NA everyine is celebrating?

Hi Bostorican,

When you go on your Ceac login when you look at where it says Affidavit of Support Fee right now it might show as PAID right? well usually when that changes from paid to N/A you have a clear indication that your Case has been completed. That's why when we all celebrate the N/As is because we basically can assume that it means case complete. Then we all call to make sure this isn't just some sick joke haha They always confirm that your case has been complete. :)

Hi Everyone!

Does anyone know how long it takes from when you are assigned a case number to when you receive the welcome email?

Also, how long between the case number being assigned and the DS-261 becoming available? Do you have to receive the welcome email before being able to complete the DS-261?

Thanks!

Hi, the welcome letter usually comes a day or two after you have received your case number (it's been taking a day lately) the DS-261 should be available to you to complete right after you receive the case number. It is the AOS Fee that usually is available until after the welcome letter.
