Thank you!

 

I'm a little confused though. I paid the fees already, but there was no option to "Choose an agent". It wasn't mentioned in the email I received either; the first step listed was to pay the fees. Is this now obsolete?

They have now changed things, they now automatically assign you as the DOS.

I have two IR2 (Children) Cases which is the same timeline as CR1, the first one is CC already and that's what they did to that first case.

 

However I do not know if that only applies to IR2 Cases. But once the fees have been paid, I would give them a call to make sure it also applies to you. You probably can change it after then!

I'm just waiting on this case now.

How you did guys compressed your I-864 form or any other documents ,if i compressed it with Adobe it shrinks the file size (to 1.5 MB from 2.5 MB which is OK ) but quality is bad . 

For me, there was no way I could compress it without quality being affected however all documents were accepted as long as it is readable.

Okay cool. Thanks 😊. How many weeks should I give it after the approval before calling?

Congratulations!!!

The times vary, as of now. It is taking 7 weeks after they have received your case to create a case number but times do change. I had two IR2 cases which is the same timeline as IR1/CR1

First case, they received a week after USCIS sent it and assigned case number 3 weeks after receiving it. 

This case however, they received it one week after USCIS sent it, still awaiting case number. 

It really depends, but you're looking at 7 weeks plus AFTER receiving as of now. Hang in there, patience is diffently a virtue.

Thanks Josie. Definitely patience is the key. Okay makes sense. But just wondering should we call after 3 weeks to confirm if the NVC has received the case from USCIS? We also wanted to update an email address, could that be done prior receiving a case number?

I would call 1-2 weeks after USCIS has changed status on the website that they have sent it to NVC. 

For me, I had to get the case number assigned first and then I added an email.

Mine was just 543 kb. You can just use the adobe efill option to place your handwritten signature from a photo click and use the original fill-able I-864  without worrying about any compression.

Yes but I am going to submit 2016 and 2015.  I used Adobe to shrink the 864EZ after scanning it back in.
