March Approvals - Delays @ NVC

[Serendipity_ 0]

We were approved on March 5th. We DS3032 or AOS bill has NOT been generated yet and our case has been at NVC for 8 days now I have seen others have their DS3032 and AOS genereated in 2-3 days.

When I call NVC I am told it takes them 4-6 weeks which I know is not true as members on VJ have completed NVC in 11-15 days.

NVC is going Green and doing everything by email now....instead of it being a faster process it seems to have slowed everything down.

Anyone else in the same boat??? This is so frustrating

it should take a while at NVC because of the recent fast approvals at the service centers. so NVC is gonna get their work caught up.

My case number assigned March 5 and nothing since. automated message says wait 6-8 weeks for lawyer to be contacted by NVC. I don't have to do the 3032 because I have the lawyer but operator says the company line wait 6-8 weeks until the paper information is mailed out, but hey let them assign my email address to the case. I'm ready to go now in the time right before approved I had my wife running around to get everything filled out signed and mailed to me I'm sitting on everything ready to go for a couple weeks now comeon NVC I know you're busy I want to get out of your system quick so you can help others!~

I was going crazy thinking NVC is only delaying my case and in fact I was getting mad at VSC. I just came across this forum few minutes ago and now I realize it's not just me, it's EVERYONE! I am also in the same boat.....I got approved on 2nd March and just got a case # assigned y'day. I've all my docs related to DS-3032 and AOS ready. My husband is preparing docs for DS-230 (waiting on PCC). So I am not in a super-rush.... But still, it's one thing when things are delayed by NVC (because you don't know whats going on) and another when things are delayed bcoz of me (at least I know what the issue is).

Good luck to everyone....so glad to be discovering this forum

By the way, should I call them and let them know my email address? I've not talked to an operator since I got case # assigned.

Also, I think I need to wait for AVR to say something like "DS3032 and AOS Fee Bill has been generated on" before I email and mail them DS-3032, right?

Yep! NVC is slow these days. Even in reviewing documentations. They've been reviewing my DS230 for more than a week now. Checking on others' timeline it only took them 2 to 3 days and they'll complete the case, now it's over a week and they're still reviewing it... :-(

I would call NVC and give them the email address. NVC asked if I had an email when I called them, and since then I've received everything via email. It expedites the process in the sense that email will get to you faster than mail and you can check it from anywhere.

If you email the NVC (NVCINQUIRY@state.gov) and let them know you have not received your invoice yet, you can ask for invoice identification number. Once you have that, you can pay the bill for the DS-230 and I-864 online at: Go to www.ImmigrantVisas.state.gov and click the "Fee Collection" link, then click the "Online Payment" link, and follow the instructions displayed. After a few days, you can continue to check the website and as soon as the payment is shown as "processed", then you can print out the cover letter for the DS-230 and I-864 and send in your final applications.

My husband and I have not received anything by mail...we have done it all so far by emailing the NVC directly. Email them everyday until you get an answer. You are supposed to receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of sending the email but we never got one so we just kept emailing until we got our invoice ID number.

Good luck!! The key is to keep pushing...
