I am getting my packages ready to send off as soon as i pay the IV fee. Can I write the case number on the top of all the papers i am sending? Or should I use sticky notes?

On the top right corner of each page write the case number. That is where i wrote on the documents i sent in.

Hey guys,

Was approved on the 16th. Been tracking some timelines and would like to know how long does it usually take on an average to get your case number from your experience?

Quite likely! Since it says not to send to nvc but rather to bring to the interview. I had the exact same thing (down to the document requested).

 

Check if your status changed to "at NVC" and if the AOS line disappeared in the IV portal. You should also call to check. Today is Thanksgiving though, so they will probably be closed.

I made a little stamp with the applicant's name and case number at a stationary store. Stamped it on all of the pages. Saved me a LOT of time and hand ache!

Seems like the visajouney website needs an update for the NVC processing.

DS261 form is not needed anymore. Just DS260 is fine. Later the documents of Affidavit of Support.

You can also check if your embassy belongs to the CEAC online processing unit. If yes you can upload your documents in the CEAC portal which will be way faster then sending them via eMail or mail them the classic way.

 

Here is the direct link from the NVC regarding the entire process after the petition was approved:

what you mean no DS261 form?

Step 1: Choose an Agent

Your first step is to choose an agent.

Your agent will receive communication from the NVC about your case. You may act as your own agent or you may choose your petitioner, a family member, friend, attorney, immigration professional, or any other person you trust. You may have an agent that represented you and the petitioner in the petition process with USCIS. However, you will need to formally select an agent to represent you for your visa processing.

To choose your agent, complete the Choice of Address and Agent (DS-261)form in the Consular Electronic Application Center.

Please allow up to 3 weeks for the NVC to process your DS-261 before continuing to the next step.

Sorry, my mistake.

DS261 is linked to CEAC.

So the consulate told me today that my interview date is invalid until they generate the appointment letter.

that's very disappointing, I still have it scheduled and have to keep checking to see if they've generated, the rep said my case isn't fully loaded into the system yet.

On top of that I'll have to travel to the consulate to get a copy of the letter cause there's no way I would get it in the mail in time.

so, the AOS fee went through my bank account but on the NVC website it says it is still "in process."  Anybody had this happen?

Yes, that’s normal, give it 1 or 2 days.

The IV fee will go back to “Pay now” and it will take 2-3 business days to be processed (do not pay again).
