Hello thirdsjen,

I can see by your timeline that we sent the I-130 on the same day to Chicago. The only diference is that I received my NOA-1 on 05/12/08.

Hey I also am in the club of the ones that check USCIS EVERYDAY day looking for changes... even though I know its to premature for that. HAHAHA

I really think its just as you said... we will all get approved sooner than what we think.

Lets keep in touch...

Try this:

I am getting nervous. They received both the AOS and Packet IV on friday, at least that was when they scanned it in their system. They received them a few days earlier. Every time I call them, they give me the same answer which is that the case is under review and that it takes 2-4 weeks. From what I have seen in this thread, people are receiving case complete withing a few days. Should i be worried?

beniecenvet,

You should not worry... It does take a few days for the review to get completed... some are faster than others.... The only thing I do recomend... is to call NVC EVERYDAY... and ask for status... they will give you the same answer.... but this is the only way you will catch an RFE ON TIME.... if it does occur.... From the day I sent my AOS and DS-230, to the day I got a case complete... there were 12 days.... This includes an RFE that was a mistake on their side... I knew about this RFE on a thursday and it took until the next monday to clear it up... They were requesting a document that was NOT needed.... so the result of this RFE was that I was right.... I did not have to send the document.....

I thank God I called EVERDAY.... evn though many times I got very frustrated with their standard answer (wait 4 to 6 weeks.....)

Take Care and Good Luck!!!

When should the case be complete to be considred for the Feb interview Schedules...........

Aman,

I sincerely do not know when is the cutoff date... but I want to let you know that they schedule interviews ONLY on the second week of each month. So the second week of February they will be scheduling interviews for March. February interviews have already been scheduled.

Does someone know when is the cutoff date? I had a case complete on Jan 12 and did not make it for the february interview scheduling... So I'm still WAITING

Remember to put your NVC case number on the top right hand corner of ALL pages of both packages.

even on the originals??? i have done it on the photocopies but i dont want to ruin my originals by putting a case number. what have you guys done?

cmnb,
I put sticker on mine so, later on I can take it out.

ok, good idea. i will do that.

What I did was take post it notes and cut the part that has adhesive and there I would write the case number... I only did this for originals I did not want to ruin.

cmnb- i'm glad to hear that everything should be fine!

Thats great!!! Very happy to know that everything is ok... Don't worry, just be sure to double check everything at your house before going to the post office. Verify that everything is dated and signed. Also, be sure to put your NVC case number on th top right hand corner of EVERY page of both packages.

congrats kelvin! very exciting.

quick question- i am planning to send my AOS and DS230 packets together. my AOS fee was already accepted and i paid the IV fee on saturday so i figured i might as well just send them in together. i think i've seen a few other people do it...is there any reason not to send them together? i thought it might make things a little faster to process (and save me some $$)--though in general, it seems like the NVC is 100x faster than USCIS!

the AVR says that they've accepted my DS3032 and i should wait for something in the mail. i figure that's just the IV checklist and DS-230. assuming i have everything ready, i don't actually need to wait for anything in the mail to include with my packets, right?

THANKS!

aba anoma,

You can definately send both packages together. If you paid online, you do not have to wait for anything, just print your coversheet and attach to your package and off it goes... I sent mine together in the same envelope and had no problem what so ever. So go ahead and send these as soon as you can. GOOD LUCK!!!

Aman - whats going on with your BC?

I just called NVC and they still have not accepted our DS-3032. I emailed it and sent in a hard copy. Maybe something will update today.

Hi Everybody,

This maybe a silly question but all I know is my NVC case number.

Before sending the DS 3032, do I need to wait for the DS-3032 and AOS bill to be generated?

How do I know that? Just keep calling NVC?

Please help!!!!

Thank you.

Hello chopwater

You have to wait until your DS-3032 and AOS fee bill are generated before you send them in.

And yes, the only way you can know if these have been generated is calling NVC everyday. I personally suggest speaking with an operator.

Hey all...

Last night I called NVC and spoke to an operator... just to get told that I have an RFE!!!!

I am SOOOO FRUSTRATED!!! I cant believe it... The operator told me that it is requesting a Police Certificate frpm Venezuela for my wife. It CLEARLY states on the web site that it is NOT necesary to submit police certificates for Venezuela:

http://bogota.usemba...ppt_0404082.pdf

POLICE CERTIFICATES: A Colombian police certificate “Certificado Judicial” is required for all applicants over 18 years of age. It may be obtained at any DAS office. Police certificates are also required from applicants who have lived in another country for more than 12 months since turning 16 years of age (except for the United States, Mexico, and Venezuela). Please see http://travel.state....ocity/index.htm for more information about requesting police certificates for other countries.

I told them this and they said that they will have a supervisor reveiw it and that it can take 10 to 15 days... This is SOOO UNFAIR.... I loose 10 to 15 days because of a mistake THEY make?

Does anyone know how I can obtain a Venezuelian Police Certificate for her just in case?

I am about to collapse .... REALLY... I CANT TAKE THIS NOOO MORE!!!!!

Sorry guys for venting this way... but I just cant control myself in this moment!!!

Hello all,

Just to let you all know... I submitted my I-864 and my DS-230 on Dec. 31 to NVC. I sent it priority mail. It arrived today, so hopefully on Monday they will receive it and at least by Tuesday they will review it... Lets see.

After I sent my I-864 package I noticed that on page 4, Question #25 of the I-864 it states to fill in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd most recent Tax Years and Total Incomes. I made a mistake and only filled out the 1st Tax Year and Total Income. (Even though I am ONLY sending the actual tax returns for 2007). I corrected this mistake by sending in a corrected I-864 with the 2nd and 3rd Tax Year and Total Income information filled out as well. I included a cover letter stating what I was sending and why. I sent this additional package to the Attn. of CMR, because I have not received an RFE as of yet... I hope that I will be able to prevent an RFE with this that I have done... I will let you guys know what happens this coming week.

I just wanted to share my mistake so that others can prevent this from happening to them.

I want to thank Ling Ling and everyone here for all your help... I was able to catch this mistake, thanks to lingche's stupid RFE thread.

http://www.visajourn...p;hl=stupid RFE

I think everybody should take the time to read this thread before sending in their documents to NVC.

Hello CMNB,

I sent my DS-3032 by itself... It was accepted yesterday with no problems at all... I created the barcode with James Shortcuts... Hey just to give you a heads up on the barcode.... when you create it and print it out... you will notice it is very small... Dont worry I pasted mine on the Ds-3032 and it was accepted with no problems at all...

Hello all...

On Tuesday Dec. 23 I sent the Choice of agent overnight to NVC. It was signed for on Wednesday Dec 24. I called today and spoke to an operator and she said they have not received it... She said that it takes up to 4 weeks for them to process documents after receiving them. WHAT???? Does anybody know how long does it take for NVC to enter the choice of agent to their system?

As, on tuesday Dec 23 I created my AOS Fee Bill using James Shortcuts.... (something that I REALLY regret).... because I received the letter from NVC with the Choice of agent, the AOS Fee Bill and the IIN on Saturday. Anyways, I sent it and it was received on Dec 24 as well... But they signed for it on Dec 26. How long before the AOS appears as PAID??? How long before they apply this payment? Does anyone know?

CJ Vasani, What about you? Did you use Next Day?

Yes, I used the USPS express mail for everything. Very reliable and super fast. Expect to hash out around 16.50 per package

I wanted to ask if anyone can tell me at want exact point is it that I can send the DS-3032 by mail and /or by email? What do I have to wait for? Is it when the AVR says that the AOS has been generated?

I appreciate everybods help!!!

THANKS!!!

Hey Kelvin, did you get the case number thru the AVR system or spoke to someone? My approval was also on the 12th and nvc system still say nothing received. Thanks

Just wanted to let you guys know that my case was received at NVC today. I just called and obtained my NVC case Number. WOW I feel it already... this is going to be a breeze............ I asked for my IIN number but they said it was not yet created. I will call again tomorrow

Hey robbyrob

Yesterday I called at aprox. 1 pm and spoke to an operator... And he told me that my case still had not arrived. I called again at 7:30pm and was told it arrived yesterday. But it was still not updated on the AVR system. This morning I called (only the AVR system) and it was entered. It said that my case was entered yesterday.... You should try calling today... if its not in the AVR system speak to an operator, as SankuNiku said.

How are you all sending your packages to NVC? Are you using US Postal Service Priority Mail? UPS Next Day Air? Just curious. Thanks!

I am thinking of using USPS Priority Mail... It takes aprox. 3 days... not that much... Its that next day is SOOO expensive....

What about you?

Yea...I think they probably just scanned my cases last night. The automated voice thing did not reflect the cases being received so I spoke to the live operator at around 9-10 PM. I did go through the automated thing this morning and noticed that it was updated to reflect them receiving it.

Kelvin you should give them a try today.

SankuNiku,

I called last night and spoke to an operator, she said they had not received my application yet. She advised me to wait up to 90 days!!!!

I CANT BELIEVE THIS....

I think that is just crazy.... I hope to have good news today.... I called this morning and went through the AVR system but nothing yet....

Lets just keep on waiting...

I got my case numbers. Was unsuccessful twice in getting the IIN twice. I will try again tomorrow otherwise will wait for AOS fee bill. The K-3 has not been sent to the Consulate yet.

SankuNiku

You already got your case numbers? That is AWESOME!!!! Congratulations. I thought it would take a little bit of more time since there is SO MUCH mail because of the holidays... I am going to call TODAY...

GOOD LUCK!
