NVC timeline on IR-1/CR1 visas

Mononoke28 · July 17, 2007

I wonder if they're behind on the generating messages. The customer service rep told me that my DS-230 was generated last week (no specific date) but the automated message doesn't say that. :huh:

dillydally · July 18, 2007

wow its been too long...so today i called the NVC...and lo and behold...THEY GENERATED THE DS-3032 and the AOS forms!!!!!! WOOHOO!! the second i heard the message was the same second i told my hubby to email them lol...i am hoping James' shortcuts work out and shorten this process hope everyone is doing well and awesome thread!! take care

Geist · July 18, 2007

So, do you have to talk to an agent to find out if they've generated the IV bill? I know you have to talk to one to find out about the AoS, but I don't care about finding about that since I'm a step behind on the DS-230 track anyway....no sense in rushing the AoS in

jaxguy · July 18, 2007

Nothing new was sent or generated for us today
NVV _only_ updates their messages on Tuesdays, right? And they don't generate anything during the week either, right?

Correct. Tuesday is the only DAY NVC updates their system. July 24th is the day for you Jasmin ......

Not sure who you asked this question, but I will answer it anyway. I just called the automated message system and found out about IV Fee Bill generation. Yes, AOS (I-864) is the only package you have to talk to rep to find out if it has been generated or not. Good Luck

Well... that's what I thought until today. I've already talked to 3 different people at the NVC and they don't have a specific date on when the DS-230 is generated. They only say the instructins on how to dowload it were "supposed" to have been mailed "the week of". That's why the automated system doesn't say that it has been generated. So, now I can't use James' shortcuts because I don't have the exact date they mailed out the DS-230. IF they did because it's not guarranteed that they did so.

hi,

please add me to the list, like so many others I applied for a K3 and got the I-130 approval first so now I'm considering abandoning the K3 in favor for the CR-1 or just letting them both ride for a while. It seems that the consulate we'd have to go through schedules the CR-1 interviews WAY later than the K3 interviews so I'm a little nervous about how it's all going to pan out. From what I read however, the consulate is supposed to replace any K3 interview with a CR1 as soon as the petition is in their hot little hands. We'll see....

oh, I was asking anyone who felt like answering I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss the IV bill being generated because I was assuming it would be announced on the automated system.

RandyandRina · July 18, 2007

I am not sure if I am posting this concern in the right forum... I hope someone can help me.

I am getting mixed information and maybe because of anticipation, I am so confused. My I-130 was approved on July 2nd, after 8 weeks being moved to CSC from VSC (my case was moved on May 19). I called up NVC and was told that it may take at least a month to 3 months before they can have information as to NVC receives my application. I will be using James's NVC Shortcuts - Version 2.0. Here are my questions:

My husband would have to take my father-in-law to Japan for emergency medical purpose. His trip could last up to 3 months, depending on his health recovery. What can you suggest as to what we can do to make sure we get and NVC receives all the required documents? For one, we are thinking of appointing myself (petitioner) to be my husband's Choice of Agent. What can I do from this end, so that my husband can do what he has to do for his ailing father?

Please help.

It is taking NVC 2 to 3 weeks to assign case number. NVC updates their automated system early Tuesday morning.

Appoint yourself as agent, then you will be responsible for receiving and submitting all paperwork to NVC and your husband can attend to his ailing father.

Good Luck

Mononoke,

I was getting the same message and automatically assumed that the DS230 had been generated. So I used James Shortcuts and sent in our DS230. It was accepted even though they did not mail the letter that had been generated until 17 days later. The coversheet arrived with the same date given on the automated message that says my information was reviewed, information found to be missing and a letter was sent to me blah blah blah.

Sorry I've been slow lately. I'm currently away from home (again) so updating this is rather hard. But now this is quite well updated. All comments are of course wellcome !

Hi everyone,

Please add me to the list. We got our NOA2 on 7/3/07!

We are checking the automated system at NVC every Tuesday since the NOA2 email, but the NVC has not yet received the case from USCIS.

Thanks!

trailmix · July 19, 2007

Question: With this list, for the DS-230 - which date are we using, date it was generated, received or sent ?

Thanks
