NVC Filers - January 2018

[Harmeet Kaur 20]

Hi,

 

Can someone please tell me the whole average time it takes from NVC receiving the case to getting an interview date?
I'm very new in this NVC stage.. My case was approved on Dec 16. And NVC received it on Jan 26.

For me,

I got NOA2 from Potomac on 12/4. Potomac sent out to NVC on 12/8. NVC received on 12/13 ( i called NVC on 12/19 to confirmed this), On 12/22, we both got email from NVC with welcome letter and case number and invoice number

on 12/22, i paid AOS fee and submit DS-261, on 12/29, I pay IV Fee, on 1/3 i sent AOS and IV package and at night i submitted DS-260

on 1/5, NVC received our documents per UPS tracking, on 1/9 NVC scan date, on 1/13 CC

1/30 NVC schedule interview for 3/15

so in my case from NVC received to interview is 2 months

Hey all, question to those who've already 'unlocked' the IV fee. 

 

I submitted my DS-261 today, so the statyus for that shows as completed. 

 

Attached is what I see for the IV. (I don't see the AOS at all). 

 

My question: what will this look like when I *can* pay the fee? An extra button or something? 

 

Same here. I submitted the DS-261 at yesterday ( January 29th). 

NVC rep said, because we just start working on your case and we have not send out the welcome letter yet, ( i got the case# and IIN number over the phone ) it can take up to 4 weeks before you receive the welcome letter by email.

 

I was in the same situation as both of you. I got my case # on January 19th and submitted my DS-261 on the 29th. I called the NVC and they gave the same explanation. I just got the welcome letter today at 1AM Eastern Time and about five minutes later the AOS fee showed up in CEAC and I paid it (I logged in about 3 or 4 times in that five minutes before it showed up).

 

The wait is frustratingly slow, but it seems like the AOS fee really will not show up until you actually get the welcome letter email. Now the wait begins for the IV fee to show up..

 

 

This is how things look now. The Affidavit of Support (AOS) section will appear once you get your welcome letter. The "PAY NOW" button under IV Fee is active, but when I click on it, nothing shows up. Once they review the DS-261, that should appear too.

Thank youuu❣️☺️

Thank youuuu ❣️😃

Thank youuuu ❣️😄

The question is , does your husband live with his monther. If the answer is yes then she should fill out i184A too , but if the answer is no then she should fill out just i184 . This is confirmed information. I have co-sponsor too ! 

Yes, my husband's permanent address and mailing address are the same as his mother's. His physical address is temporarily in Barcelona, where we live until we can go to the US. The joint sponsor (mother) in I864 part 5 placed my husband as "adult children I'm combining my income with through I864A", is that correct?

So you're saying two I864's and one I864A, right? 

It all makes no sense to me anymore, I just want to send the damn package.

Hi Harmeet, I know it is hard, but unfortunately, cases now are taking at least 11-12 months to complete it all. Don't worry, you will get through this.

Your husband will fill out I864 and his mother will fill out the I864A (no need for her to fill out an I864 too)
