guys I almost had a heart attack! I called today and the AVR said that documents where missing that a letter was sent to me to request the missing documents. so I called back and spoke to a live operator and he said that they are waiting for my DS230 and I told him I sent that form and the supporting documents on the 3rd and he said hold on.... yes sorry we did received your DS230 on Jan5 we are reviewing your case sorry about the misunderstanding. give us 2 to 4 weeks for review. but I guess I will continue calling LOL

CJ have you tried to contact the embassy to see if they will switch your k3 interview to a green card interview? because i don't think they will give you a better day than feb11.

I hope you'll get everything on the 5th maybe your case is @ their office but not yet uploaded to their systems. maybe on the 5th not only your case will be upload but your ds3032 will be generated and AOS bill as well. do you have everything ready? if so you just need the green light from them and you will be done in a breeze. my delays had been the holidays and that I forgot to make my husband signed the ds3032 so I had to wait till he send it to me.

Sakuniku,

he is correct you will need your Case # and your INN # to log in then you will make the AOS payment and wait till next day (mine was changed to paid the day after) and print the barcode sheet. that you will send along with your I-864 but this is sent to the NH address to CMR

happy bday sracastillo!

i am not going too crazy about NVC working. i guess i am used to the torture at VSC that I will gladly accept a few more days of wait smile.gif (not too much, mind you wink.gif )



thanks cmnb smile.gif my bday is on the 9th so i'm hoping that i get to complete my case by then. i have paid my AOS fee and submitted the DS3032 and the Affidavit form and papers, so now i'm waiting for the green light on the DS302 part and i'll be done. i have all my papers so i just need the GO from them. also the visa specialist aren't working so i guess i'll have to wait till monday the 5th to find out if i made it to the feb interview list.

CJ not really, don't take it like that. have they send your case over to the embassy yet? I'm talking about the i-130. if not you could still contact the embassy and let them know that your cr1 was approved and the case has been completed at nvc so therefore you would like to switch your interview to cr1. definitely you will not get a January interview anymore at least you got a Feb.! I'm looking something like a March or April interview. so considered your self lucky.

my k3 reached the embassy today and actually the visa specialist told me to call back on monday to see if there is an interview date for me.

Yessss i was generated so i guess i could send it now right? and also i will continue trying to get the INN to pay the AOS bill. it doesn't matter if i send the DS3-32 without paying the AOS bill right?

ok i spoke today to an operator kind of rude person but ok she told me my k3 left to santo domingo no the 19th and that for the i-130 the AOS bill was sent to me and the DS30-32 was not yet generated but it will. then when i asked for the INN she said wait for the bill as we don't give out that number. so i don't know what to do. how do i find out about interviews for the k3?

the operator told me they recieved my case on the 16 and that my case was uploaded to their system on the 17th but when i asked him if the choice of agent form was generated he told me why i wanted to know and i said to him i just want to know if i'm in the right track and he said what if i tell you it was generated today? what would you do i said to him i just want to know and then he told me the whole story about being a fraud if i send the choice of agent like we are currently doing at VJ

one question. when i put the case number i get the message that says when my case was received then it says allow X number of days( i can't understand) for BENEFICIARY to receive notification. what that means?


During my case with the NVC I never checked my status on the automated voice response because they never updated my case on it, but I think what it means is that they're sending the CHOICE OF AGENT form to the beneficiary as well.


that's what i was thinking also the operator gave me a hint when he said what if it was generated today?? but now i don't know how to proceed.
