NVC October 2009 edition

[scotinmass 588]

As of yesterday at noon, NVC has received my AOS packet but haven't received the DS-3032 yet. Well, I'm tracking it and it usually takes a few hours to update the tracking so it could be there now but I won't know until the afternoon.

Ours was the same. They actually received the DS-3032 first but it didn't show in the system until just now. When they put it in you will be invoiced for the $400 as we have just been.

I just called the AVR and my choice of agent form was entered in the system on the 27th and the IV bill is now invoiced. Does Diane pay it now or do we wait for the email? There seems to be a conflict of opinions.

if your IV bill is ready.. pay now. no wait for email. i got my email for pay 5 days after he paid iv bill. lol. Good luck!!

Thank you. I'll tell Diane.

Hi! I just got off the phone with a nice lady at NVC. We had a few laughs (I figured I'd be as personable as possible!) and she checked into my issue of "Not Paid." She has to "write it up" and fix it herself. She said it won't show today, but hopefully by tomorrow and I shouldn't lose any sleep. I may or may not have lost a few days-but nothing I can do about it now! Even if I paid when I got the email (yesterday), it would have gone through today or tomorrow anyway. I can't worry about this anymore...well, unless it keeps saying "Not Paid" for the next week! She said, well, you paid a day before it was invoiced...I told her to fix their darn system so when you see it invoiced on the DOS website, there's a specific message saying wait for the email! Anyway, I think it'll get worked out...

I'm sure it'll work itself out by tomorrow! Here's hoping for a case complete for you soon! =)

YEAH IT SHOWS NOTPAID BUT IF U HIT PAYMENT RECIPT IT SHOWS U DID PAY

With all the stuff I've been reading for the last few days on this forum, notice this morning that the IV bill was available, I didn't even think for a second before clicking on paid bill. JUST HOPE ALL GOES WELL FOR ME.

PRAYINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Verne I am sure that it will finally catch up and be ok, you may just need to call the NVC and talk to an operator...Mine was available for 4 days without email and I ended up paying it anyways and then so far I have gotten MULTIPLE emails saying it was available to pay...

And Sam, I did call the NVC and talk to an operator but you know the usual answer you'll get. DON'T PAY TILL YOU RECEIVE AN EMAIL, IF YOU DO IT'S GOING TO DELAY PROCESSING. I've been waiting since July 13th, 2009, when i initially file I130. So a few more days wouldn't kill me. Any way just look online, payment pending with my bank. I am taking the documents to work, and i'll check the status at 3PM, should PAID just surface, I'll print that cover page, and mail out the documents. Will even attach receipt print too.

Some operators at NVC are very understanding while others who don't understand the pain we go through being apart from our spouse, family just feel stuff should be done with respect to the BOOKS.

Have a great day everyone. And COngrads to all those who've completed their case pending their interview.

Well hopefully it'll do just like how a quite a few of ours has done this past week. Shows available then pay it, it's deducted out of your account then shows paid...QUICK print out the cover letter..then it's not paid ...then PAID again!! I think they are just trying to make us crazy!!!

And SAM,

The pattern continues. Receive IV Bill email this morning. Then bill status changed to unpaid. I was nervous, called NVC like 6 times requesting what to do. One operator told me to cancel payment with my bank, then go ahead and pay again....hahahahaha. NVC need employees who know all the process. 4PM status online changed to PAID, both invoice, and receipt. Within two second i had cover page printed.

Hence IV package is with FEDEX. promise 10:30AM delivery to NVC. Back to the waiting game again.

OMG!!! Shat and Idiot!!! You have to think for a moment, that some people who have not found this site and are navigating this alone... Can you imagine the issues that this incopentence has created!!1 What a mess! Glad you knew better! I swear monkeys could give more informed responses I think!!!

Hey guys you might be wondering why is she starting a NVC October and

1. she has not gotten NOA2

2. she has not gotten NOA2

3. its still September... anyways i started this thread because i am claming my approval you might know these sayings "ask and it shall be given" "seek and you shall find" "claim your victory" "stand strong in faith"...with that being said..i honestly think that if anyone gets approved the last week of september (including myself) NVC will not assign a case number until early October with the current delay at NVC.

Hi Ms. Sheka, the more I read your posts the more I believe me and you have a lil in common Still waiting, still praying!

Yeah, the woman I talked to this morning sounded drunk. She was slurring words, and was rather pointed in telling me that I shouldn't have paid the bill before I was told to. I didn't bother trying to explain that that's what most on-the-ball people do when they see a bill is available to be paid...

Fortunately things reverted to normal later in the day. But yeah...I can only imagine how horrible this process would be to the uninformed! It's horrible enough for the informed!

[david'sgirl 134]

Okay I stressed so much over to Pay or Not to Pay. Well I couldn't take it anymore. It was sitting there marked as invoiced so I paid it. Will it make things quicker,slower or same? I dont know but I do know if they debit it from my account it will be easy enough to prove it is paid. They really need a better system like Oh I don't know ...not posting a payment as available to pay before they are prepared to accept it! Duh.

I just called the AVR and my choice of agent form was entered in the system on the 27th and the IV bill is now invoiced. Does Diane pay it now or do we wait for the email? There seems to be a conflict of opinions.

Thanks Mary! I paid and hope it wont cause a problem. No emails yet. Nada.Zip. Zero.

I finally took the plunge and made an appointment for my medical in London. Diane was worried that there wouldn't be any appointments later and I better do it now. When I called the receptionist said I could have any appointment I liked after November 12th. Not all that busy after all! I now have to try and book flights and trains. London is a big scary place for a young innocent lad like me. I hope nobody tries to take advantage of me. Maybe I should take my mummy to hold my hand.

Don't be such a big girl's blouse.lol

Maybe I should come with you.

Absolutely Christeen, people who navigate alone should really be at the mercy of God. I told her the transaction is pending with my bank, then she replied i should cancel to avoid it completely going through then repair through the invoice i receive in the email today morning. The invoice number for my IV bill and AOS where same. Notwithstanding, NVC do have some experience operators. Recall when i had my approval, on a thursday, then i call on tuesday the following week, the operator told me they just receive the package and i should give them some time to input. Being so anxious i called in the afternoon, the operator i got on phone, HAVE YOU RECEIVE AN APPROVAL NOTICE FOM USCIS? I replied yes. We don't have any sign of your package. MAYBE NVC HAS FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND CONTARCTORS AS OPERATORS HENCE THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO ALL THE SOURCES OF INFORMATION.

THANK GOD, I STOOD MY GROUNDS.

[Eric19myracle 0]

I cannot believe they told you to cancel the payment!!!!???? What's up with that??? I am sure they have a running joke about what is the most outrageous line someone can come up with to give us. Unbelievable. Well I am glad you stood your ground too.

Eric!! Glad you and Myricle are here with us!! It took about 2 weeks before the IV bill came up as available on the website. But then, they are saying to wait until you get the email stating that it is available to be paid.. Mine was available about 4 days before I finally broke down and paid it. Then I got 3 emails saying I could pay it...

Read some of the past posts..it's been a real roller coaster ride on the IV bills.

Good Luck!

Wow! My IV bill went back to PAID on the website! I talked to a great NVC woman today who promised me she'd write it up and fix it. She actually kept her promise! I'm so glad! And she got it done the same day...shocking!
