Thanks everyone for the responses.

According to the automated service, my case was completed at NVC on August 19 but she only received the packet yesterday. I havent received anything but will call to schedule an appointment today.


So, apparently as I suspected NVC schedules interviews not only 2 nd week of the month for the following month.
Aug 19th was 3 rd week of Aug.
Congrats for fast process !


David -my Congratulations with close Interview date!

Fedup, his interview is for K3 visa, and they are scheduling it differently than for CR1 , I guess.., that is why it was probably scheduled on third week


When I called the NVC they told me the same thing and my case is a IR1/CR1. She told me that they complete making interview dates for this kind of case by 18th of September for October interviews. Good luck.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNVC Process...next step??
If you paid online just print out the barcode sheet and send all the documents in with the AOS package. If you did not pay online just create a barcode using James shortcuts on VJ and send the documents with the AOS package. The faster you send it, the faster you case will be completed at NVC. Good luck.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresEarly March filer still not approved
QUOTE (ruriburi @ Jul 18 2008, 08:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Early March filers, don't give up!!!! I just noticed an e-mail from CRIS that my I-130 was approved on July 17!!! This is good news for all the early March filers who were beginning to think we were left behind. Hopefully this signals that the rest of you will get approvals coming your way. The only touch I had before the approval was back on March 12th.

Congrats on your approval and good luck with the rest of your journey.

I hope the best for you Fedup. Just by calling them everyday it will result in some kind of touch. I know this might be ahead a little but you should have your wife get all her docs certified and you should get all the tax transcripts and employment letters ready. Good luck

I called them to ask about my information and then they gave me a touch and an approval 1 week after. I think everybody should be calling just so that your case can be touched. Hang in there March filers. I hope everybody gets some good news by the end of the month.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAwaiting NVC response to emailed 3032
QUOTE (Loving Neneng @ Sep 10 2008, 09:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello I have read where some are paying their fees online and could someone post a link so I can do that also? Sorry for asking but I have read much but limited internet time to find everything. Sorry I tried to make new topic but it says I must read Terms of Service but there is no place for me to mark that I have read them? thanks in advance

First you would need your IIN or invoice number and you can get that number by calling NVC, you might have to keep calling until a rep gives you the number. They may say they can't but keep trying. after you get the number you go online and enter your info such as if you are the agent(Petitioner or beneficiary) on the case and you will input your US checking account because credit cards are not used. ONLY checking account number and routing number. Then you will input your IIN or invoice number and hit enter. The website is listed below:

Hope that helps good.gif

We were told to call second of sept to find out when our date wd be in oct. since we missed sept. So we do and again they say call back on friday! i cant take this wait anymore! i dont know shall i bug em again today or is it really friday??

Oh how do u track ur papers thru DHL?? thnx


You would go to the website listed below and enter the date, for example, if the document was to be sent out today September 10, 2008 you would put it EXP 09 SEP 2008A on the reference number space and then you would select from the drop down box SEP 10 2008 to SEP 10 2008 and then enter. You leave all the other spaces blank. and it will list all the embassy that shipments were mailed to. I hope that helps.

Congrats mhal2008. I have updated your info on the spreadsheet. You should definately pay for Doc verification asap. You should get the medical exam asap too. Good luck on the interview. When was your case mailed to the embassy?

You would have to call the NVC and check the IVR. The automated system will state "Your case was completed on August XX, 2008, please allow eight weeks ..." NVC doesn't call you about that. When you call try to talk to a rep and check if it is completed and also if they have made an appointment for you. Good luck.
