did u try calling USCIS and asking them what the hold up is?

Yup, I have spoken to the operators twice. First they ask for the USCIS tracking number which I provide. Then they let me know the case is not in the system. They ask if I have received an approval. I say yes. Then they ask what type of application. I say I 130. They say they have 90 days to process such requests. Then I ask questions like

- I understand you have 90 days, but how long does it usually take for such applications to get processed in your systems?

- I know that several people who got approved at the same timeframe got their NVC confirmation in a few days. What can cause differences in timelines?

- Should I be concerned?

All of the above is answered with, "sir we have upto 90 days to process the request"

Should I call up and speak to operators more often OR will that not do any good OR it does not hurt to follow up? What do you think?

Hey guys,

I sent emailed response to DS3032 yesterday, got automatic response but not accepted yet. My husband is still going to fill paperwork out when he recieves it. I am still not going to call for IIN number since the paper work has been mailed to us already, i am sure that it will be on my bill. SO i will wait until then to pay my bill online. :thumbs:

I got an email from my lawyer today telling me that I need to send him two money orders. One for $70, and one for $400. I assume that these are for the AOS and IV bill. But get this, they said to make it out to USCIS. I am 99% sure that these need to be made out to U.S. Department of State. Am I crazy?

To my understanding these checks should be made to the Department of State.

Hey guys, DS 3032 and Affidavit of Support Fee Bill was mailed yesterday :dance:. I am not going to call a million times for IIN, i am going to wait for the bill then do my online payment that way. :dance: I am sure, my number will be on the bill. Where is everyone else at? :star:

Mrs Rowe,

I have everything absolutely ready to mail out. I am unsure if I should continue using this lawyer who is worthless. I have been on my case like crazy unlike him. Anyway I called NVC and my case number was assigned yesterday. I will try for IIN but not kill myself. Tomorrow I am supposed to receive by FedEx my husbands PCC, which was all I needed. I wonder if that needs to get translated?

If your husband's interview will be in his home country, there's no need to translate any of the IV Application (DS-30) supporting documents including the PCC.

But make sure you're getting the PCC from the correct source. There have been recent incidents where PCC has come from the wrong source, and the applicant received an RFE.

Good Luck

Ling Ling thanks so much for your info.

my aos bill and ds 3023 were generated today. This IIN is not being given out though and its pissing me off!!!!!

Did you find this out by talking to an operator? I'll call today.

Yep i called them and they told me it was generated but nobody is willing to give out the IIN number. I am officially throwing in the towel in trying to get the IIN from the operator cause they just wont give it out. I will wait for the mail and take it from there.
