i thought i have to wait for them to send me the instruction , where can i find the form DS-261 PLZ ?

Once you receive your case number and IIN you can now access ceac.state.gov and check your case status there. Using those numbers you can complete and submit the ds-261 agent of choice. Then the next step is to wait for the AOS fee to be available.

Depends on the Service Center. If your I130 approval is from CSC it takes about 3-4 weeks to reach NVC. Read online in this forum that I130 approvals from TSC and VSC are taking about 1-2 weeks to reach NVC.

Does it really take 8 weeks to get the case number?

It depends on your luck. Unfortunately, it is not necessarily a first in(approved) a first out system.

Hi All,

This is related to Choice of agent once the NVC generates the Case Number.

Can the petitioner be the choice of agent ? Or does it needs to be different from the petitioner ? what's the purpose of this document. could some one please elaborate.

Yes - the petitioner can be the Choice of Agent and this person don't have to be different from the petitioner. The purpose of this document is very basic and it is

self explanatory, The Choice of Agent gets all the correspondence from the NVC as many of us have attorneys or relatives who can follow the instructions given

by the NVC. The applicant can be the self Choice of Agent by marking the form not to have any other one. The other purpose that serves well that the US mailing

system is quicker than some of the countries where chances are the mail can get lost or delivered wrong places. That's why NVC prefers to choose someone in

US rather than dealing with the delays in communication. Thanks !
