If it lets you click on it to pay, I would pay. Normally it's the AOS fee first and then once that's processed the IV fee unlocks. In saying that though, we paid our AOS fee, said it was paid and then paid the IV fee but now it looks like the AOS never left our bank account and it got rejected so we have just paid again. It's all very strange 😜

Thanks! will pay process the payment

This wait is so painful.   2 weeks passed. another 9 weeks to go.

 

My daughter might go through a surgery soon. I'm wondering whether we should request expedite so I can join em during that time.

its worth a try, medical expedites are possible.  However before requesting it please ensure you have evidence or they won't consider it.  You'll want your daughters birth certificate showing you as the parent, the doctors letter suggesting surgery and the reason, and any other evidence to support your case. You'll email the nvcexpedite email with that evidence and a good explanation and request. They'll then send it to your embassy who will make the decision (NVC is just the messenger in the case of expedites).
In case  you're not aware, there are two levels of expedite.  Consulate expedite = you wont wait for the "scheduling week" to get an appt date, but you'll still go through normal processing at NVC.  NVC expedite = The embassy will request your file from NVC and the review of documents that you're currently in will be handled by the embassy instead.  I've received both responses so if you end up with an email response and don't know which it is, feel free to message me.

Does any one know, once nvc is reviewing the case, how long would it take them to review.  I just called NVC and they said your case is being reviewed now, nvc will notify anytime from now.  My scan date is Feb 10: so been 10 weeks already.

Has your husband received his police certificate yet? I submitted my application online and received it back within a week. They're usually quite quick.

 

 

His endorser didn't pick up the phone when the police called, delaying us by a week+ and we didn't realize it until a week after.

They sent him a confirmation email of receipt about 2 weeks after it was submitted because of the delay so 4/18.  Since he's on a plane right now headed towards me...we probably won't get it until he returns in a week and a half.

 

I'm crying silently inside as I think about "scan date"   

 

And wow, you got approved fast.  Did you expedite by any chance?  Took us 6 months for NOA 2 from 9/26 PD without any checklists.  Glad to see more UK folks

Should have asked my husband to request the police certificate earlier   Didn't realize.  Thanks for confirming.

We didn't send our police certificate until 8 weeks after we first filed everything.

Now we are in the back of the line.

Oh no, that's such a shame. On the bright side, at least you'll get to see your husband, and the police certificate should arrive by the time he gets back.

 

No we didn't expedite, our petition went to Texas Service Center! We're just waiting for the case number now.

 

Yes I agree, it's nice to see more UK folks! I hope you have a great week and a half together!

Don't worry, I am in this with you.  I got a checklist for computer generated certified copy of my birth certificate. I I mailed it in yesterday just hoping and praying I get a Cc before 11 weeks 

[heyusa 118]

My husband called the NVC this morning at 7 and we got the case number and IIN, but they said they're just processing it or something, so we still have to wait for the welcome e-mail I guess? Tried logging into CEAC and couldn't yet. Should I try again tomorrow or after they e-mail us?

My mom's file at NVC took 10.5 weeks, and got the CC letter last Friday 4/14 (scanned at NVC Feb 1 2017).  Today we received a note that interview is pending sheduling from Santiago, Chile consulte. Sounds like we are almost there.
