biggish data

How can i find out that TSC has shipped my case to NVC? If anyone willing to share their knowledge, i really appreciate.

The only way I now is that you must email Mrs. Angela(Angela.Barrows@dhs.gov) and you will have the answer. Good luck.

Hi celldoc did u send ur ds-3032, i did yesterday March04 and still waitting the acceptance
friends, how does it take to get acceptance

Take a look to my signature, and we have since 04 March our IV invoice ready to be payed. To bad that my wife is at work until Monday and she can not make the payment. So far it was very fast process for us at NVC. They compensate the 213 days between NOA1 and NOA2 at USCIS

Good luck in your process. :thumbs:

You're correct. NVC only wants the document cover sheet found on the payment portal after a bill appears as PAID.

Can you give me the website where I can find how to make free calls to USA using Google voice. Thanks. I did not bookmarked him last time.

what's the difference between cover sheet and receipt in its use

Not shore, but I see that only cover sheet must be sent to NVC.Seems to me that receipt is not necessary and someone correct me if I am wrong.

As happy as I am for those who have begun their NVC journey, looking at my own thread is making me depressed...I think I will take a short break from VJ to hold onto the sanity I have left. Hopefully next week will have better news for me.

Do not give up, just send them an email at nvcinquiry@state.gov, and ask them about your case. Putt USCIS number on subject and below the following:
Subject: WACXXXXXXXX-NAME OF BENEFICIARY or applicant

CIS Case No: WACXXXXXXXX
Petitioner's Name: XXXXXXX
Petitioner's Date of Birth:XXXXXXX
Beneficiary's Name: XXXXXX
Beneficiary's Date of Birth: XXXXXX
And then ask about your case, and why is taking so long.
Good luck with that. Fingers crossed.

There's still a lot of people that got approved before you that are still waiting for a case number as well. You can check the spreadsheet to see. Unfortunately, yes, I think you're just going to have to wait until the case gets inputted into their system. Keep calling NVC twice a day.

I believe that peoples approved by CSC get the NVC# fast and the ones from TSC usually get their NVC# a little bit later. After NVC# all the peoples are in the same timeline at NVC. Just my opinion based on what I saw during this 8 months.

Our case is also in queue for input in system.Operator asked us to check on Monday.I don't know what is the process on input.How they make bathes by date arrived or otherwise.

Our case was approved on 17 Feb by CSC, and have already payed the AOS invoice. Hang in there and keep calling AVR to see if your case number is assigned and then go to an operator and give them emails address and ask for IIN. After you will have the IIN you can send the COA email appointing your agent for further processing.
Good luck. You should hear the good news very soon.

Thank you, my VJ friends! So I will be calling every day until I get my case #, and when I get my case # I will give the operator our email addresses and ask for the invoice ID #, right? And then do I wait for them to tell me to send the Choice of Agent form?...

First of all congrats. After we took our IIN and give them our emails we emailed COA in the same day.

Wow so just called NVC talked to a human rep...

i wanted to know if my case was in the system yet... since it was sent out on Feb 17th to NVC...(According to Mr. Badger)

what the rep told me was that "they just received the case and u will hear from us in about 4-6 weeks...."

Is this Normal did anyone get the same answer...

I hope this is not true... this sucks...

We have been approved on 17 at CSC but we do not have yet NVC case number. Maybe this week we will have it. Last week when we have called they told us to give them one more week.

You're welcome. And no problem

If you get any other questions, just ask. I'm here all day

One short question, is any rule of contacting NVC? Can the beneficiary call them and ask case number and give emails and obtain IIN ? Or is necessary only the petitioner.

When do we need to email choice of agent form via email? Is it after we pay the invoice?

Take a look:
NVC Steps

Be proactive with NVC to speed up the things, rather than reactive!

1) After receiving the case from the USCIS, NVC assigns a case# (NVC Case#)

2) Call NVC at 603-334-0700 to get NVC Case#, to provide both the petitioner and beneficiary email ids and to get IIN (Invoice Identification Number)

3) Email DS-3032 (Choice of Agent) by the beneficiary to NVCINQUIRY@state.gov making the U.S petitioner as the agent (Email format: http://www.visajourn...il_DS-3032_form)

4) Log in to NVC online payment system at https://ceac.state.g...ice/signon.aspx to see AOS and IV fee are generated

5) Pay Affidavit of Support (AOS - I-864) review fee $88 and Immigrant Visa (DS-230) fee $404, if generated. Payment status will be 'IN PROCESS' after the payment. In 1 or 2 days, the status will be 'PAID'

6) When the status shows 'PAID', print out AOS barcode sheet and IV barcode sheet

7) Express mail AOS packet and IV packet to NVC

Co-sponsor's AOS is needed if the petitioner's income is below the poverty
line defined in I-864P every year.

AOS Packet
a. Bar-coded cover sheet
b. Completed and signed form I-864 by the petitioner
c. IRS tax transcripts for the last three years
(Call IRS at 800-908-9946 to order them for free)
d. Petitioner's employment letter
e. Petitioner's pay stubs for the current year

IV Packet
a. Bar-coded cover sheet
b. 2 Passport-sized photographs of the beneficiary
c. Completed and signed form DS-230 Part 1 by the beneficiary
d. Completed and 'unsigned' form DS-230 Part 2 by the beneficiary
e. Photocopy of the biographic data page of the beneficiary's passport
f. Original/Certified birth certificate of the beneficiary
g. Original/Certified marriage certificate of the beneficiary and the petitioner
h. Original police certificate(s) of the beneficiary
i. Original/Certified divorce decree of the beneficiary's prior marriage(s), if applicable
j. Original military certificate of the beneficiary, if applicable
k. 1 set Photocopy of all the above civil documents

8) NVC reviews both packages and completes the case in about 2 weeks and forwards to the beneficiary's U.S consulate by scheduling beneficiary's interview at the Consulate.

Thank for the prompt reply. Yes, I was one of the 36,000.

My wife's file has been completed at NVC and interview has been scheduled on 06/28/2011 at Bombay office. My wife's file was completed on 04/07/2011 but the interview date is after more than two months.

Does anyone know how to expedite at the local consulate?

Thanks,

We have contacted our embassy and explained them about our situation, the mess from TSC and NVC and the fact that we will like to celebrate my birthday together. We asked them if is possible to reschedule our interview date and they told us the possible dates and we picked one

You should try the same. Best of luck. :thumbs:

Sent AOS packet today by Fedex from Hong Kong. Then realized I didn't write NVC # on upper right-hand corner of every page! I hope this doesn't cause a delay!

We have not putt any case number on any file, just the cover sheets to the packs. And all was fine except the fact that they have asked PCC from Finland were I have lived for 9 months and this is not required since is less than 12 months :bonk:

. I think is safe to putt the number but if not, this can not generate an RFE. Good luck.

Hey guys, another question
When filing I-864EZ can I use my 2009 federal income tax form because I'm still working on the tax return for 2010? It just says the most recent, so I have some doubts... Thanks!

I think that after 15 March you must have 2010 tax return. Hope that you will have answers from others members confirming. Good luck.

They did also state that NVC will contact the beneficiary directly and to allow at least 90 days before calling the NVC if beneficiary has not received correspondence from NVC.

Feb 14 (Valentine's Day) - we were APPROVED from CSC
Mar 01 (Yesterday / My Birthday) - we received the NVC Case number

I just hope they don't wait until her birthday (August) to do the interview that would SUCK !!!!

Okay... it's official... I'm losing my mind SO, how long before I can pay the AOS? I just checked and it said "Not Invoiced"

NVC case number assigned on 28 Feb, 2 years anniversary since our wedding. 22 March my wife birthday, maybe will let me be there to celebrate this important event?
