Does anyone know a phone number to talk to someone as NVC?

Visajourney has (603) 334-0700 posted in their NVC link. Yet when I call it said that NVC has suspended this phoneline in order to focus in processing accounts. Anyone know an alternative number to contact them?

I am an American citizen living abroad with my wife. We had our i-130 approved and are about to start the NVC process for the CR1.

We are having a baby in in 3 months, and I want to send out all of our info for the NVC process within the next few weeks.

Should I do the i-864 or the i-864w? Since our baby isn't here yet, it's a bit confusing.

Fill out the form that is appropriate right now and then bring the correct form to AIT at time of interview.

NVC does not take phone calls.  You can email them.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

@tw2mn, Answer is I-864.

 

For the baby, he/she will be a USC and you will file CRBA for him/her.

 

That is, as long as you lived at least 5 years in the US with at least 2 years after age 14.

For sure, sorry about that, I'm a bit slow with technology. I'll make sure I'm in the correct thread/discussion area before posting.
