You're right in that NVC does only work Monday - Friday and has weekends off. Every agent i've spoken with (trust me when i say i have spoken with a large number of them) has said it's calendar days n

did you call NVC or they mail you ?

I went onto the portal and saw the three N/As so I jumped straight on the phone and spent fifteen minutes on hold before getting it confirmed by a lovely young man whose name I didn't catch. :) From what I've seen the case complete email usually arrives later on.

Are you the petitioner or the beneficiary? I Don't think it matters, I was my husband's agent. The agent is just the person you want to receive all the mail and correspondence. Regardless I believe both the beneficiary and the petitioner both get the same emails.

Quick question, once the AOS & IV fees are paid can I go back in and print the bar coded cover sheet? Or do I have to print it out as soon as it is paid and wouldn't be able to go back to print it?
