Hi @Koha! NVC will reach out to you once they have received your mom's documents from USCIS. It might take about 6-8 weeks. You can call them on the 6th week to check if they have received it. Once they do, they'll give you your case number and invoice id so you can start with the process. You will also get an email with all these information.

hi jeena, what date did you sent your papers? and how long was the waiting period before your case was completed?

NVC got my mom's papers on August 8th. I received an email from them last week, so about 7 weeks....

I filed for dad and the filing was received august 15 2017, its October 5th 2017 and I still haven't been able to check my status. Whenever I try to check it says error. And how long will it take to finally meet my dad. Thanks.

Hello Friends

 

Regarding AOS fees

 

Do we need to pay AOS fees separate for parents? Or is it only one payment for both parents?

Only 1 payment of $120 needed for both parents.

just a little update on my mom case. She is finally cleared on her medical after 2 months delay because she needed to do the sputum culture. Now her interview will be on oct 16. I'm nervous and so she is . Praying that she will pass.

 

Goodluck to everyone

Hey All, my I-130 was approved by USCIS on September 11(the date when their case tracking website was update. The actual approval notice came a week later). NVC has still not contacted me. Is this normal ? How long should I wait ?

Hi! I just chose my Mom's agent(me)/ completed DS- 261 last 2 days. It says on my confirmation that I have to wait for them to send me an invoice asking for an immigrant visa processing fee. It says allow two weeks before I can do anything... did you have to do this too? It seemed like it only took you 2 days after filing ds 261, and you already paid the fees...

 

I'm still waiting for them to email or contact me so I can move forward into paying the fees...
