NVC timeline on IR-1/CR1 visas

[RocksAnne 0]

I am reposting this here - with some additions - since I'm also on the tracking chart on this thread!

HI ALL!

I had to wait a few days to get confirmation, but I am finally able to make an official announcement about this! I got some amazing news on my situation!

As some of you might have noticed on some of my other posts, I not only had an application in for an I-130 and an I-129F, but also was pursuing a claim to derivative US Citizenship thru my father. In order to get proof of US Citizenship, I had to file a passport application. However when I went in for my passport interview earlier this year, the consulate was extremely discouraging about my chances of getting it- even though I thought I had a pretty good amount of evidence to prove my case. So I decided to go ahead and risk the money and inconvenience of filing the visa forms at the same time, so I wouldn't have wasted any time if the citizenship case fell through.

Well to my joy, a couple of days ago I got a phone call from the consulate informing me that my US passport application had been approved and that I was indeed, a US Citizen already!!!!

I do have to mention something - although I had been trying to get information on my citizenship case for months from the consulate, they didn't respond at all and it wasn't until after I contacted a congressman to intervene on my behalf, that I got this call. So if any of you are having problems with your visa applications and wondering if you should contact a congressperson for help, I say go for it! Congresspeople Rock!!!!

I am still in shock over this! I have a sort of guilty feeling about announcing this here, as I know everyone else still has to go thru this horrible ordeal of interviews and fees and separations from their loved ones. I guess the good news for you all is that as I withdraw my applications, it leaves two interview spots for you guys to fill up faster!

I would like to thank everyone here for their wonderful support, help, tips and advice. For listening sympathetically when I wanted to rant, and for your patience when I asked the same question for the nth time. Good luck to everyone and I hope things speed up soon!

I'd especially like to send bouquets of thanks to TRAILMIX who was particularly helpful and not only was a good shoulder to cry on, but gave me some really great advice and leads on finding the info I needed!

And now you may remove my name from the list ! heart.gif

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

To be honest, I don't presicely know. I just took the ideas for additional timelines from Erica's good suggestions. I know that it's not for sent, since we agreed (or "agreed") earlier on this thread to take the timelines when something comes from the NVC to you. In general I have just selected the DS-230 dates from the timelines located at VJ dot com slash timelines etc. The individual memers' have put various dates on there. If I have seen two dates (e.g. by looking at the timelines most put on their signature), I have selected the earliest one (i.e. the generated one). But to sum it up (in my opinion), it doesn't matter that much which you use, since the temporal differences aren't that great anyway. The main purpose of this thread is to see where NVC is going and when (about) it will be your turn.

Folks,

My DS 3032 was generated this Monday July 16th and the same day i had my wife email NVC appointing me as the agent.

I am looking for their confimation and havent received yet. I know they take about 10 business days...

I see a lot of people paying AOS bill in 1-2 days after the DS 3032 generation. I beleive i will be receiving the AOS bill in mail right? I am a little confused here.......

[Mononoke28 135]

That's probably because we are using James' shortcuts. As soon as the NVC's automated message says the AOS bill has been generated, you can follow the shortcuts and send it in, no need to wait for it.

Mononoke28 is absolutely right. I used James shortcut and mailed AOS Fee Bill same day automated system said its generated.

Hi, please update my timeline D3032 and I864 bill generated on 16th July

Thx

How long did it take from the processing of the AOS fee bill to recv the AOS packet in the mail? I'm not doing the short cuts.

Good question. They received my fee bill a week ago today, no sign of it yet.

It usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks. I got mine in 18 days.

So, how long does it take for the IV fee bill to be generated once they accept the agent of choice thingy?

And RocksAnne, it's awesome that you've got citizenship! You've saved so much time and money...and you get to be with your husband, which is of course the best

I think it's the following Monday my love . So you'll find out on Tuesday. In any case, wasn't this the completely random bill that you couldn't send back in in advance?

Hi, How do you get NVC case # after 130 approval? Do you just wait for the paper notification from NVC?

130 sent: 2/15/07

approved: 7/27/07

await receiving paper approval notice.

Your NOA2 date 7/27/07 is not correct. Did you mean 7/17/07?

You can call NVC at 603-334-0700, press 1,1,1 and enter your I-130 Receipt number at the prompt. It will tell you if NVC has assigned a Case number or not. Keep checking every other day. NVC usually assigns case number on Monday and updates automated system on early Tuesday morning. Good Luck.

I'm just testing something here. Mononoke28 suggested once that we might want to add the IV bill Recieved in here. I replied that I'm not sure if it fits, but it's probably a good idea. Me being forgetful, I forgot to try it out . So here it is. Does the following line fit your screen on this thread, or does it split to a second line?

Member Name--------------NOA2-------DS-3032/I-864---Recieved IV---DS-230------NVC Complete---JSC---Days

If it doesnt fit, please do tell me how big of a screen you have or what your resolution is (if you happen to know either one of these measurements). I'm using a 15" screen and a 1024 x 768 resolution (and I assume mine is among the smallest ones).

I don't want to add an extra chart unless it properly fits in, since othervice this thread will become more useless to those of us, who don't have big enouhg computer screen ...
