I E-Mailed the Choice of Agent

Well my husband got the confirmation email from NVC! Cannot believe it! That was so fast! Looks like re-sending it did work after all!

WOOHOO!

Now if Mononoke and Saywhat get their much awaited paperwork generated most of us should be back on track.

Now to play the Tuesday morning dial-up game.

I have to say all this NVC interaction for me is making time fly! Good and bad for me haha.

Yes, I hope Mononoke and Saywhat get their paperwork generated very soon! Ah yes, the lovely "Tuesday morning dial-up game". That name is just too funny!

I agree with time flying! I'm glad it's not a constant "check the USCIS website for touches game" anymore. I was going crazy with that after a while lol! Time seemed to just drag by with USCIS unlike this process with NVC.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I used to chekc the USCIS web site several times a day to see if we got a touch. Now I call the NVC 3 times a day every day, just in case we get something generated.

Keep your fingers crossed you guys and thanks for the good vibes.

You're welcome! (And I'm glad I'm not the only one who calls the NVC many times a day too lol!)

Fingers crossed for you!

What's going on everyone? I called the NVC this morning and their automated response told me that they generated the IV bill yesterday (oh joy!) So will the automated thingy not mention what's going on with the I-864? Does anyone know if there's a way to track a cashier's check? Thanks!

Hi Heina,

I also got the automated response for the IV Bill generation this morning!

As for the I-864 package generation, we need to call to confirm it was generated. I am willing to bet it was generated yesterday as well since my AoS Bill payment was processed last Wednesday. I figured that if they processed the DS-3032 email on Friday and generated the IV Bill the following monday, our I-864 must be generated the same day given the extra 2 days in the system.

On a side note, since I am also waiting for the IV Bill to be sent, I will most likely skip on the I-864 shortcut if I get the package by next week. I received the AoS Bill 1 week after it was generated so I am hoping the same holds true for the I-864 and the IV Bill. The DS-230 on the other hand is getting sent via James' shortcut. Daddy ain't gonna wait for that one!

I just spoke with the NVC because I was curious as to how this I-864 thing works. She told me that they just send out instructions on it now so as long as you know they have your payment, I don't see any reason to wait on it-go ahead and download it and send it now as opposed to later. She also said it was ok for us to use the I-864EZ as long as we qualify for it, which we do-I'll bet some more of you could use that form as well. Anyway, just wanted to let you know!

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I called this morning and the automated service told me the same thing: The Immigration Visa bill was generated yesterday. I was like "They are missing a step." lol I tried calling this morning to speak with a customer service rep but it says the lines are busy and brought me back to the automated service. Told me to call back after 6pm.

That would be nice if I got everything at once!

Heina,

I will be using I-864EZ as well. However, didn't the operator say we need the coversheet that they will generate? I know it's just instructions as told from other members but I still think there will be some sort of cover sheet needed.

[Mononoke28 135]

Maaaaaaaaaaan!! They still haven't generated my DS-230! I called this morning and nothing. Then I spoke to a customer service rep and she said it was generated last week but there wasn't a specific date which is what I need so I can send the barcoded sheet I already generated myself.

I'm so frustrated... augh!!!!

Oh she didn't mention that. I suppose she just assumed I would wait until I receive the packet anyway. Which is actually what we're going to do since our 2006 taxes are still not completed by the IRS. You're probably right though-best to wait for the packet.

Did you submit the 2006 return though? I sent mine in although the tax return has not been processed by the IRS yet because of the ITIN delay (which I found out was issued back in May). I will be sending the NVC a copy of the 2006 tax return I filled out along with return transcripts from 2005 and 2004. I think the W-2 forms will be a key item for the current 2006 tax forms.

Hmmm, "generated last week". Is it safe to assume that the generation date will always be a Monday. If so could it mean July 9th?

Yeah, umm, ok here's the issue. We did the ITIN too but me being a dumbass forgot to put his passport in the envelope when I mailed off our taxes. IRS said just wait until we contact you. So I mailed the taxes on April 16, it wasn't until June 18 that they sent a letter requesting the passport. So I sent that overnight and here we are almost a month later, still no word on our taxes, and to make it even more fun-I tend to forget to make copies of stuff before I mail it in, so yeah I don't have a copy of our tax return. I have no choice but to wait until they process the taxes (I guess I'll know that happens when I receive my refund check) and then request the tax transcripts. I'm hoping they might just might finish our taxes within the next month.

If it's the following Monday, then the stupid thing should've generated yesterday.
