NVC Filers - September 2016

[O&GForever 387]

The NVC confirmed today that they have received our case. Yay! Now it's waiting for our case number. Hopefully we'll have it in a few weeks. I am excited to begin this phase of the process.

Mine was sent September 1 and it wasn't until September 23 that they received it. I would wait 2 to 3 weeks for a case number. You can always call them....maybe you're lucky and start NVC processing faster than expected. Good luck!

Kallen, I got notice that my case was sent to the NVC on September 22. I called today and they confirmed they had just received it. Of course it will take a little longer to get my case number. I bet yours will arrive early next week.

I can completely ready. While I know I can't control everything, I want to stay on top of this phase to hopefully speed things up. I am so ready to be done with the visa process. Yet I know I still have quite a few months more because of the embassy I am dealing with.

I submitted ds 261 on sep 23. Then i waited for 2 days to get aos fee invoiced. But it was not unlocked. So i called nvc yesterday. She refused to do review, and told me to wait for welcome email.I got email this morning.so 4 days after case no i paid aos fee

How to know if its been reviewed or not?

You know it is reviewed when your IV fee is available to be paid. once you see that link to pay for IV fee, you can go ahead and pay it. I had my aos form reviewed and then I waited 2 days to pay the IV fee as the fee became available 2 days after for me.

One more quetion i want to ask. Do i also have to send cover sheet from nvc welcum email. Or i could just send my own written cover letter?

And i printed aos cover sheet twice. But for iv do i have to remove aos from cover sheet?

Thankyou!!

You have to use the welcome letter cover sheet no matter what. you can include your own as well. as someone said, do follow the NVC wiki process, it has helped me a lot!

I got my welcome letter now , can i go ahead and pay AOS fee or i need to wait ds-261 to be reviewed ?

You can go ahead and pay the AOS fee and then ds 261 will be available, which you fill out and then you can review it with them (call in this matter, do not wait for them to contact you). after ds 261 is reviewed your IV fee will unlock otherwise it will not.

Finally got our notification that our case was sent to the NVC today (9/27)! We got our NOA-2 on August 31, so it's been a bit of a longer wait than we expected. I think I'll give the NVC a call around this time next week to see if they've gotten it - does that sound about right, timing-wise?

I called every week once, however it does take 2 weeks for them to receive and assign case number. They got my case in a week. it depends I think on where it is coming from because I have seen people waiting for weeks in order for NVC to receive it.

I tried to py AOS fee ,,everything was going fine on last page after i click pay fee didnt take me to payment confirmation or anything just the same page and instead of the button PAY FEE i got RETURN TO INVOICE , checked my bank acount not has been deducted yet ..anybody can help please?

I believe that is paid, does the page on the bottom shows a bar code or asked for email to be sent or something?

Just make sure with NVC if you are not sure. Also make sure that you fill the ds 261 only once and don't click on it again (this is important otherwise you will set the clock again.

After a week call NVC to see if they received your case. 30 days is standard, be proactive at NVC stage. Always stay proactive!

Can anyone help me with a question on the i-864 affidavit of support? In Section 2 I (the intending immigrant) am listed, and then in question 3 it asks if you're sponsoring the person mentioned in question 2. Do my details ALSO have to be listed under what family members are being sponsored, or is that only if there are additional family members in addition to myself?

Wait you are the one immigrating or are you the one petitioning for someone to come to us?

The aos is supposed to be filled out by the petitioner not the beneficiary. Aos is all about petitioner's financial support that they can provide the beneficiary.

If u r the intending immigrant then number 2 applies to u but number 3 applies to the petitioner. All family member questions applies to ur petitioner

Sorry that may be confusing. I'm the beneficiary/applicant and my husband is the petitioner. He's filling in the form but I'm just asking the questions because he's not the active one on the forum here.

Yesterday was our second wedding anniversary and also my husband's 50th birthday.

Did you open any of the links I gave you? There are step by step instructions in there. If I haven't givenyou links do let me know. Also the i864 has instructions for each part on uscis website. It explains what each part is meant. Do look into it.
