Hi Shrewdgal... welcome to the club.. we must be next, I feel it in my bones

lets all pray together that VSC keeps them approvals coming. IF we are approved early april.. i see that NVC is taking about 10 wks give or take a week.. then off to the embassy.. another 6 wks for interview.. then the Visa .. im with your first guesstimate of September which makes it about 10 months process from start to finish if everything goes smoothly.

What do you think Hyd? september or later? Omg, I am praying september!! I miss my husband.

Anybody out there.. what's your guesstimate for us??

I pray you are right about Sept. I am a teacher and I have to sign a contract for the entire year, starting in August. I will be with my husband all summer and will leave him the end of July. The thoughts that I may have to leave him and he wont be any closer to getting here drives me batty.

How mych is the AOS bill?

so let me get this right.

after we get approved we get sent to NVC. we have to do the ds-230 form and pay the AOS bill?

THEN we pay the IV bill?

what all do i need to be getting ready?

I feel like I am unprepared for whatever is next because I was so frustrated with the time it was taking that I had to just stop thinking about it!!!

Thanks guys!!

Hello All!!!!

I am still here rooting for your approvals. Seems like VSC is picking up the pace and October VSC'ers will soon all have NOA2. I read someone asking about guess of completion (visa in hand). I am guessing mine will be in August so you guys should be in September. This is if you plan on using JS. I am getting a bit overwhelmed with the JS stuff cause I'm so scared I'll do something wrong and get a dreaded RFE but still as long as the case is moving its nice.

I hope you all start hearing some good news soon. Until then join us over in the NVC thread....it gets lonely in there sometimes, plus its good to start getting your head fully wrapped around the NVC process now.

GoodLuck!!

Oh I was gonna say check this out:

It the link the the James Shortcuts on VJ Wiki. It explains the NVC process very good and gives you all the shortcuts in a step by step matter....its helping me wrap my head around that process:

I july USCIS will have had a whole year of collecting the increased fees (to help get the process faster???), tho we did not get our money's worth but rather a big headache . I believe as time creeps up they will begin to get the process going a bit faster tho by then we shall be at the embassy . On another thread we'd been thinking of getting signatures of those at VSC near and past the 180 mark as a way to let them know we are overdue. It's been 83 days since my NOA1 .

I've started to dig a little into the NVC process but as u mentioned.. when my head is still stuck on getting the NOA2.. its a little confusing. As far as fees AOS(I-864)=$70, DS-230 (IV Bill)=$400.. never send in the corresponding form until you've confirmed with them that they have received it as it may slow ur process. That's about all I know.

I keep you all in my daily prayers for, being separated from our spouses for such length of time is hard to endure. Enjoy ur time with your hubby, im sure when u get back it wont be long before he's joining you.

Thanks Marlita for your prayers to all of us eagerly awaiting our approvals and for the link to the shortcuts. Im sure we'll have a 1001 questions, but its a good idea to just start diving into the NVC threat and become familiarized with it.. Great luck with the shortcut's.

Same here, no activity since they entered my case into the system on 2/19/08. It's getting really old really fast.

Congratulations - I've been checking everyday but nothing yet! I hope it will happen soon as I'm here in the US visiting my husband for another 5 days and it would be amazing if it came while we were together - we could celebrate together!
