NVC Filers - February 2017

[lsu_mike 97]

It's working for me also now

[Tanish 197]

We're a little confused. The instructions from NVC states that we should send both AOS and IV package together in a single package. We prepare two packages with separate cover sheets that asks us to be addressed to different ATTN. We put both of them in a single package and now who do we address this package to and what address do we mail this?

Should we use "ATTN CMR" or "ATTN CMR AOS"?

I found that confused too

so I sent all my document(in one package) to the address on the NVC website (another different address, really confusing~)

my case completed, so I guess it did work.

My wife was able to access IV fee bill half an hour or so ago and paid the fees. All of those receiving "Database error", please try again and update here.

Thanks for posting! I'm paying mine now

Thanks, I saw that address on NVC website after your suggestion. Just a quick inquiry, you assembled all the documents and put coversheets on the appropriate bunch of documents, right?

Great. Now let's see how fast(read slow) the process goes for us. I wish they'd pick up pace and complete the process for Feb end filers by April mid or end.

Well, I mean since we're "wishing" why not wish for case complete in march? ?

Yes, we did print AOS cover sheet and tomorrow we will print the other one. About the translation of my birth certificate, it doesn't have to be notarized, right?

Also is it okay if my wife signs it as a translator?

my document order is like:

1. Document Cover Sheet (the one looks like checklist) 

2. AOS Document Cover Sheet (the one with barcode)

3. petitionor I-864

4. tax document

5. copy of passport for petitioner

6. Sponsor's I-864

7. Sponsor's tax document

8. Sponsor's copy of passport/SSN/birth certificate/driver's licence

9. Civil Document Cover Sheet (the one with barcode)

10. birth certificate/marriage certificate/copy of passport/police certificate

 

basically I placed documents in order according to document cover sheet (the checklist one) and wrote case# on the up left connor

And thus, we fall victim to another federal holiday 

Yes true. Hopefully this week we will see some CCs.

Hi all,

Sorry if this has come up recently, but I searched for someone with the same question and couldn't find it.

We mailed the NVC package on Friday, and yesterday, Monday, the holiday, I got an email. (weird, no?)

So the email is two parts, the first section says that I need to send the AOS form and documents and the second says I need to send the IV documents. Of course, I sent all of that.

I read somewhere that this is a weird false alarm email. There is no checklist, no specific requests, so... ??

The complete text of the email is below.

I received both those emails once I'd paid fees and had started my DS-260, but had not completed it yet or send our IV or AOS packages.  I think it might be an automatic email that the system sends for "in progress" applications perhaps?  I guess not everyone is as thorough with their research like we all are, and they don't read the instructions on the website, so this would "prompt" them to perhaps?
