July 2010 NVC thread!

[March2010 2]

How is that possible? My husband FedEx-ed a bunch of papers from the US to India and it cost $50.

You can try USPS Express Mail. That's cheaper.

In Saudi Arabia, the price of everything foreign is inflated. I made a return label from here using my work UPS account, it came to $38, but the UPS there will NOT ship using it, even though UPS says they could.

There is no express mail there. They only have priority mail and that takes 10 days.

The AOS thing right now looks like the longest shot in the world. More problems keep arising. Maybe some good news from my husband will come today!

I pray for good news for Teya's moma!

Hello friends... My 70 $ and 400$ are showing paid online. and i also printed document cover sheets for both AOS and IV document processing thing. Now when do i send in I 864 affidavit of support and DS 230?????

i read in instructions Warning: Do not take any action described above without authorization from the NVC. Taking action without the NVC's authorization could result in a delay in processing.

so when would NVC will tell me to go ahead and send I 864 and IV document processing ds 230 stuff????

what do i do now after both the fees are showing paid.???

I have I 864 and ds 230 and supporting documents ready to go....

Thanks.

Send them NOW if you are all ready. As soon as they show PAID, you can send them. Good luck.

Awww thanks March2010!!!! You brought tears to my eyes! At first I was confused and thought, "What is wrong with my mom?!" Then I realized you were talking about me .

Waiter, as long as you have those cover sheets from the online payment portal showing that everything is paid, send the packages off like March2010 said. Woo hoo! Look at you Waiter! Here you thought it was going to take a month to get your case number and you are almost done with NVC!!! Congrats!

guys,make sure when you send an email to NVC that you get an auto response. i sent our 3032 last thur and didn't get an auto response. paid aos fee the same day and its still in process right now which is already the 3rd business day. called up nvc operator, he said they did not receive any email for my 3032!!! i did snail mail the paper 3032 last fri.... anyway, i emailed 3032 again right after speaking with nvc and thank God, finally an auto response within minutes. lost a few days probably due to this issue....

lesson learned: make sure you get an auto response for every correspondence thru email. while it does not mean acceptance by nvc, at least you know that their computer received what you sent.

[BigSigh 12]

Wow triaxxx! That sucks. I hope they can get it straightened out for you.

Ummmm i didnt get any auto response BUT my ds 3032 e mail WAS accepted like a week after i sent .

OK ..one question about I 864... On affidavit of support form i should only mention my wife right? who is applicant. NOT my daughter..** who is US citizen ** but will be coming here with her mother / my wife. so basically i am only supporting my wife in this affidavit.. NOT my daughter.... cuz she is citizen.. right???

[sachinky 464]

Yes, but your daughter will be included in the household size.

[Waiter 2]

Yes, but your daughter will be included in the household size.

hey sachinky...

ok thankx i will include my daughter in total household.

I am going to send AOS thing tomorrow BUT ds 230? i am missing police certificate... so wont be able to send that until its mailed to me from my wife.ughhhhhhh. OR shuld i send it in without it and let NVC issue a checklist???? this way atleast they will process my other documents. no?

[sachinky 464]

Yes, she's your dependent.

When do you estimate you will have the PCC in hand?

[sachinky 464]

From the I-864 instructions

21d - Enter the number of unmarried children you have whoare under age 21, even if you do not have legal custody ofthese children. You may exclude any unmarried childrenunder 21, if these children have reached majority under thelaw of their place of domicile and you do not claim them asdependents on your income tax returns.

hey waiter, thanks for the info. Guess there's a small glimmer of hope that my initial 3032 went through despite w/out an auto-response

[msd 3]

Waiting is so boring... lol

I'm glad things are moving along for some people in here.

Btw did anybody get a CC this month already? ANYbody?

Oh and IF we fecieve an RFE, do both me and my husband recieve it in the email or just the person who has to deal with it?

[depressedwife 2]

some people got their CC/SIF in this month already.Count me on them as well!lol.My case has been completed on 8th July,Yes both the petitioner and benificiary will get an email regarding missing doc or RFE,for my case I got time RFE for DS-230 which was false.Me and my husband also got e-mail for DS-230. when we called NVC they said disregard this email!hang in there NVC is kind of slow this summer.For me, it took over a month to get CC after sending my DS-230 doc best of luck for your visa journey
