Hi everyone,
we've been stuck at the NVC for 36 days now. Initially things seemed really fast but have slowed down dramatically. The NOA 2 was approved June 6 and it reached the NVC on June 13. I've been following Jame's Shortcut and the extremely helpful step by step instructions by lotofpatientce. On the petitioner side things have been moving really fast, except I got issued an RFE on the AOS. The automated message reads:"There are documents missing on the AOS form and the NVC has mailed a checklist on July 8..". It hasn't arrived yet. On the beneficiary side, my wife e-mailed the DS-3032 and it took 17 days for an e-mail response. The automated message has not even mentioned anything about the beneficiary side of the process. We finally received the confirmation e-mail that the DS-3032 was accepted 2 days ago. The next step is the IV fee bill, but again there is no mention of issuance on the automated message. I visited the online site today to check if the IV fee bill was issued, and it just states "NOT PAID". I'm not sure if I should just go ahead and pay it or not. For the AOS fee it said "INVOICED" when I logged on to pay it. Any thoughts on this?????? I just want to get this over with. I was under the impression that the hard part was getting the NOA-1 and NOA-2 but it looks like this never ending bureaucracy extends everywhere. If anyone can help with my predicament, I would really appreciate it. Thanks and good luck to us all.

You cant pay the IV bill until it says invoiced. It wont let you. Please update your timeline. It is also helpful to people who want to help you if you post in your signature the steps you have taken.
