Does NVC really know what they want?

This is a very good question! Let's just hope we all get through based on what we know! Haha! I am still amazed about the RFE's on photos that people get - some with pen get passed, some with pen do not, some with "felt tiped" some with pencil... as long as it's neat, easy to read, doesn't smear etc you'd think they could do what they need to do with them!! I am sooooo glad we have this website!!

I would think NVC would be ok with it, as some banks have not yet issued the 1099's on their accounts.


Both my I-864 and DS-230 were entered into NVC system Feb 10 so I'll let everyone know as soon as I hear.

What I was saying is DO NOT use the 2008 W2 - send 2005, 2006 & 2007 and that is all they expect right now. If you send in the W2 and you have no 1040 for 2008 (and or 1099's) to send along with it then they will look at 2008 as incomplete and you will get an RFE (according to others on this site).

I included my 2008 return as well. mailed the return off Monday so hopefully it gets to IRS before my I-864 gets processed at NVC.

If you mail the 2008 taxes you need to include the W2 and the 1040 apparently - someone on VJ got a RFE because they submitted only one part of it and said it's better (if you have not filed 2008 yet) to leave it and include 2005, 2006 & 2007. Now they are stuck waiting until they do their 2008 taxes and can produce the other doc for NVC. Just make sure you have the full set if you're sending 2008 to avoid any RFE!

Just a quick update:

Our I-864 and DS-230 were received at NVC yesterday (signed for at 11:30 a.m.) and have been entered into their system today (according to NVC operator)

Good luck everyone!

Yep we did. We are still waiting. I have everything ready to go and we left more than enough time to have this, but like everything else it's taking longer than we expected! I think they are a little slow apparently because of the weather England had last week????

I htink OBX was answering the preivous person's question. You are right, she said the same thing. We have onlymade the copies of hte original documents too. I believe theis is so they will have one for their records and at the embassy most will give you back the originals during your interview.

OBX, please let us know when if you get any other messages via the operator or AVR re your case. Just curious how long it takes them to review this and when the case gets approved. Also, how long it takes to transfer the file. It didn't seem long for our K-3 file to make it from NVC to the embassy.

Hi all. I tried to edit my timeline on the spreadsheet myself so I don't have to bother you in updating it but I wasn't able to. My case number was assigned on Jan. 30, DS 3032 & AOS generated Feb. 02. DS3232 e-mailed on the same day. We tried to call for our IIN but the operator also told us to wait for the AOS bill to obtain it.

I just have one question, my e-mail has not yet been accepted. I know it takes a while, but I am concerned if the e-mail really went through to the NVC. I mean, what if it landed in their Spam folder? Woud it be okay if I call the NVC to confirm if they received my DS3032 e-mail?

Thank you very much.


Not sure they would have anything in their system to tell you until it says it's been accepted. The email response has been taking around a week for most of us... Did you send a hard copy in the mail as well? I think in my case my DS-3032 was accepted the same day they recieved the hard copy. Then after about a week I got the email response.

If you ask the operator they can tell you. It may also be updated in the AVR but the AVR can be a day or two behind and is not always reliable. I think the DS-3032 must have been accepted otherwise you woudl not have got an AOS bill with IIN number generated.

ANyway, how to pay online we are using the checking act., are we going to fill out the blank check and enter the corresponding routing # and check #? or what?..after that, what im going to do with the check? pls help me

If you are are paying on-line you go to the website https://ceac.state.g...ice/signon.aspx and enter details as asked and it will prompt you. You have to use a US bank account. It will show PROCESS for a couple days - keep cheching back it may take 2-4 days before it says PAID and then you will be able to print the cover page and send it with your I-864. Also keep checking for the IV bill which will show up online when itès ready to be paid.

hi all, we received our NOA2 Jan. 29 and case was entered at NVC on Feb. 2 2009. We Emailed our DS 3032 on the 3rd and are waiting for the conformation email and AOS bill to be generated. I am calling NVC today for any update about the DS 3032 and to see if i can obtain our IIN number. Wish us luck.

Good luck! If you can get it you'll be my HERO!!! None of us have been having any luck! But if not, don;t worry - it doesn't take too long before the bill gets to the petioner and then you can still pay online! LOVE NVC!!! SO much easier than waiting endlessly at VSC!

Hi all,

I just got the NOA2 on 1/29/2009. I am new to the NVC process.
During the NVC processing, after DS-3032 form is completed, do you also need to send in the DS-230
form part 1 and part 2 to NVC?
I thought the benificiary needs to bring the form to the consulate abroad during the interview time.

Thanks.
Steve


If you are following CR-1 then fill out both parts of the DS-230 but don't sign part 2. When you designate the person to send everything to (officially DS-3032 is accepted) a IIN number and AOS bill will be generated. You can then call NVC to try to get the IIN from them but not many of us have been successful lately. You may have to wait until the bill goes to the petioner in the mail and then you can use the IIN to pay online. When your status changes to PAID after 2-3 days, print the cover and submit it with the I-864. The bill IV is then generated and once it is paid you print and use this cover to attach to your DS-230 when you send it.

Takign the DS-230 to the embassy is only if you are going the K-3 route. If you read the Wiki shortcuts it's all there.

Hi all,

I kind of got ahead of myself and e-mailed the DS3032 as soon as my case was received...I just called NVC AVR and it said it was generated yesterday and so was the fee bill. Should I resend the email?

For the I-864 can I send three years worth of tax transcripts or does the most recent year have to be 1040 & W-2?

I would send the email again as before the DS-3032 is generated they may not have a way to match it up together. I think in our case the hard copy was accepted before the email.

I saw on someone's post they got a RFE because thy had submitted 2008 tax info but since they had not files yet they did not have hte W2 stuff. Whatever you submit, it seems they want the complete year of paperwork including hte W2, 1099 and 1040. (I am not American so I hope I got those forms correct).

Thanks for updating OBX!! You're great for doing the spreadsheet for us!!

I read somewhere that you shouldn't bother stapling the pages since the people processing have some kind of a folder and way of organizing all the different components of your case in a specific order... they remove the staples or paper clips and do it their way anyhow and someone joked that you better not piss them off by stapling and giving them more work to do. I just read it on a forum a long time ago - not sure if it matters. At least paper clips make me feel confident that all my forms/supporting documents might stay together until they reach the person processing!

As WHsoulmates said, the printing of the cover page was very easy and straight forward and you can also save or email a PDF. No worries. goofy.gif

As for the case number, others have said to put it uper right hand corner of every page - if you don't want to mark originals some people have put those small little post-it-notes on them. This just depends how picky you are. I figure I will since I don't want to take any chances & it only takes another second! energy.gif

Hope you hear something soon OBX, and everyone else too! ClockWatch2.gif

Hey OBX,
Would you please update the spreadsheet again! Our AOS says "PAID" today and my husband is going to send out the I-864. I am not sure if people want to see how long it takes for that step... if so, do we need to add another column? What do you think? I don't need it and it is more work for you... but others may want to estimate the time frame it takes? (ie. we paid online on Jan 31, 2009 and it changed to say "PAID" today on Feb 3, 2009 and we were able to print the cover letter today) Thanks so much for keeping it up to date!!!

For anyone asking about the addresses for the I-864 - the AOS cover page you print from the site has your barcode, case number, name and the address where you have to send it. It's the 32 Rochester Ave, Portsmouth address again, but ATTN: CMR AOS

[/quote]Yup, no IIN luck here either... Tried 5-6 times, they all told me to wait for it in the mail sad.gif
The AVR is quite pointless... both my cases have been received and assigned numbers, but the AVR still says that the NVC has no record of them.
[/quote]

I think the AVR is a day or so behind in regards to updates, once your case is loaded into the system though it's handy because a lot of the time I can't get through and I'd rather get the info one day late than staying on the phone FOREVER to talk to operators again. Give it a day or 2 after cases have been recieved for them to be put into the system. Just have the DS-3032 email and the form prepared so as soon as you call and hear it has been generated you can press "send" and mail the hard copy! After it's accepted things speed up I promise!

just talked to an operator and she told me that they will generate one for me today.

Isn't it nice that at least at NVC you can speak to the operator to try to find out what's happening? More often than not you get someone nice (even if they can't give you the IIN#!) In Vermont everything just sat there and you never had a clue what was going on! Once that is generated and you send and get the DS-3032 accepted everything else happens pretty quick!

Its great to know you're not the only one trying to get the IIN number and not being successful. Now I know its standard procedure and they arent just signaling me out.

How do you know your fee bills have been generated? Do you have to talk to someone or does the AVR tell you, I never bother to talk to anyone just go to the AVR. Even when it is generated, you need both numbers IIN & case number to pay correct?

I have no idea how some people got there IIN numbers over the phone from operators. I tried many many times and gave up. It must be really drilled into them now not to give them out! Not to worry - your IIN should not take long in the mail!

When you get the IIN you can log onto the online payment page and your AOS bill should be there. Our IV bill was there the next time we logged in. You can't really check if htese are gerated unless you log on I guess - not sure if the operators can tell you but I have given up with the operators for this part!

BTW does the DS-3032 have to be accepted before they will generate the IV fee and we can mail in the DS-230?

As I understand it - nothing is done until after the DS-3032 is generated because they have to know where/who to send everything to. I believe after you pay the AOS bill they will generate the DS-230 bill but I am not sure.

I got nothing back when I sent the email - I have been checking my junk mail just in case. I have heard it sometimes takes over a week to get auto-reply or response. The hard copy was mailed Wednesday so it's just a matter of how long it takes to enter and update the system I guess???

Hi there peters,

I think most of us are following the LingChe NVC ShortCut which explains everything. Instead of waiting, basically when you call and get confirmation that the forms/bills along each step of the way have been generated then you go ahead and download/fill out the forms (including barcodes) yourself and skip waiting on the mailing times. Chek it out! And good luck at NVC!

Hi guys,

Just wanted to let you know I called last night at 11:55 and was told my DS-3032 has been generated. I emailed it lastnight and sent hard copy this morning. I am still trying to get my IIN with not much luck! Seems like their training must be getting better as everyone seems to know they aren't really supposed to give it out. We will keep calling, but perhaps we will have to wait until this step comes in the mail (unless we get lucky)!

I'm still trying to get the hang of the program. It's not quite as easy to manipulate as the Excel I usually use. I can see the first column fine when I log on. Is it not coming through for you? Also if anyone thinks there's too much info I can adjust. If there were fewer rows I could switch the members names down to the side and move the events to the top. As more people join we will have to scroll across to seee the entire sheet.
Let me know what you think.


This looks great! Thanks again for taking this on! I think it will be great help so we can ask each other about certain steps as well as giving us an approximate processing timeline! Yeay! I am really happy now that I know for sure that our case is being/has been transfered!

Ok guys, I made a spreadsheet. The link is in my signature. Please let me know if it works. Not as pretty as Mommy's transfer sheet but I haven't used Google Docs before and just did it quickly. I can adjust as needed and pretty it up later. Any suggestions, deletions or additions let me know.


Wow! You are so sweet for doing this! It looks great indeed! Maybe the only thing I can think of is if you extended the first column wider so we can read the "events" that the dates refer to. I can't believe how great this website is and how we are all able to help each other! I am really thinking there is no way we'd get through it with out the advise of those before us, and the help of each other as we go through it! Imagine doing all this wihtout VJ!!!!

Glad you guys are all here and we can do this together! Thanks again OBX for offering to take this on!

A & M - Congrats. Hope you get final confirmation soon.

Has your case status changed on the USCIS site?


I keep checking it but so far it has not changed... I read that a few poeple have got their hard copy in the mail before the online stuff changed so I am trying not to worry!

Hey there OBX,

Seems like we might be joing as well!!! Our Senetor just got word we were APPROVED on the 20th although no updates online, via email or hard copy yet! I am going to try to call and see if we have any numbers gereated yet. Hope we hear somehting for sure! I am afraid to start letting myself be too happy in case it isn't true!
