... we didnt receive the AOS bill yet (and they sent to us on 04/28, 2 weeks ago!!!), my husband dont want to pay the bill online... he try to call NVC but it is impossible to talk with a person... they accept my agent (i sent an email - because we didnt receive the form either... it is normal to take that long to receive the bill?

Online payment works, we paid, and print the barcode cover sheet on the same day. Save lots of time. We have not got any email from NVC so far .

How do you pay online? I received my AOS fee bill today but there were no instructions on how to pay online. Thanks

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDo Not Open Brown Envelope! Consulate in Rio
The famous DO NOT OPEN UNTIL ARRIVAL IN USA brown immigration envelope that comes to you with your passports and US Visa after your interview. This is the way the US Consulate in Rio packaged it with rubber bands causing the envelope to rip and making the contents invalid. If it is so important to keep this envelope sealed then why don't they use better envelopes or package them with care before to send it in the mail? My wife had to fly back to Rio just to have them repackage the contents so she could make her scheduled flight to USA. No compensation from US Consul in Rio just an apology and what is there to do with an apology? See the ripped envelope here: http://www.visajourn....php?pos=-16199 - I suggest staying in Rio and waiting for your passport and this envelope just to make sure it is sealed. My wife decided to go back to Sao Paulo and pay TNT to deliver the items becasue Monday is a holiday and it would be much cheaper to wait at home than in a hotel in Rio fro as much as 5 days. Well thanks to the US Consulate's mistake, another airfare ticket to Rio just blew that savings! Well, at least she got an apology...right?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVisas Approved in Rio...Took 439 Days!!
My wife and 6 year old daughter had their visas approved 439 days after initial filing! Finally. This after a several month delay when the she sent me all the original documents (police certificates, birth certificates, etc..) by US POST Express Mail with tracking number. Well, the package never arrived and to this day still shows online that it is inbound into US Customs & Border Protection at JFK Airport! Well, UCBP and USPS both deny having the package and we had to replace all the documents and translations and it was a nightmare! Don't trust USPS with any mail...They refuse to accept any responsibility and just point the finger at UCBP. At least, I was able to get a letter from UCBP stating that they do not have and NEVER had this package.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresITN number question
QUOTE (HOHOHO @ Apr 15 2008, 12:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Since my tax return money landed in my bank account this week, I assume they finally assigned my wife her ITN (i had sent in all that stuff needed to get it with my paper return).

I haven't got anything in the snail mail yet, and I need the ITN to finish off my state taxes (which are on hold awaiting this number also)... (way it works is I have to mail it in)....


can I get this from IRS? or is it on it's way in the mail? (if anyone's got theirs would like to hear about it).

will be nice to open a joint savings account also.


When did you fle your W7? I filed 8 weeks ago and still nothing. I called yesterday and they told me 10 weeks to issue ITIN and then 8 weeks for refund. That puts my refund arrival in June!
