You never know whether it works or not if you keep debating about it. They are not going to deny your case just because you sent them an email. Just explain to them that you were told that it normally takes 2 weeks for the case to be entered in to their system and that it has been close to 4 weeks (even though it is not and it is more like 3 weeks). They have no way of verifying when you mailed except for the return receipt that you probably have from them. Also, mention to them that people who have sent it after you have their case entered in their system. Tell them you are really worried about your packet having not made it to their systems.

Also, follow it up by escalating your case to a supervisor next week.

I also agree with you it would not hurt anything to talk with a supervisor or even email them... I would do both. Don't wait anymore.

Pay I-864 Bill 2010-11-10

Receive I-864 Package : What does this mean? Will i receive smth in the mail or email?? --> you will receive an email with instructions to complete the I-864 packet. You don't have to wait for any email. Just mail you AOS packet after the system shows paid and printing the bar coded coversheet.

Just spoke to an operator right now at NVC and she said it takes 2-4 to review you package and if there is nothing wrong then you case will be completed and sent to the embassy. Does that mean my case has been entered? I dont get these different AVR messages. I have to go back and find the link that Loto had posted.

[TtownDude 1]

It doesn't matter what the AVR says or not says. An operator will be able to physically verify if your case was entered in to their system or not. You need to ask them the right questions, John.

On the AVR it says the following for me:

The NVC received your documents on November 1st. Please allow 6-8 weeks from this date for the NVC to review your documentation and notify you of the outcome of the review."

So this tells me that they have recieved my DS230. Am I wrong based on the AVR messages info which says:

DS-230 Receipt:

"The NVC has received the checklist letter response on ____________..." OR "The NVC received your documents on ____________. Please allow 6-8 weeks from this date for the NVC to review your documentation and notify you of the outcome of the review."

Any ideas?

I am so freaking lost and have no idea what to do.

[TtownDude 1]

That certainly would indicate they have entered one of the two packets (mostly the IV) in their system. Call NVC and ask them the below questions,

1) Has my AOS packet been entered in to your system ?

2) Has my IV packet been entered in to your system ?

Post here what they have to say.

That's exactly what I keep asking but I get the same answer "allow 2-4 weeks for NVC to review your package and then they will mail you a checklist or your case well be completed and sent to the embassy"

[TtownDude 1]

Call again and talk to someone else. Ask the same questions slowly. You probably got a highly trained parrot

My gutt tells me your information is already in their system.

LOL!! Looks like it. I keep hitting those highly trained parrots all the time.

2) DS3032/ AOS Fee Bill Generated: NVC will mail...the beneficiary..." OR "DS3032 and AOS Fee Bill has been generated on____________."

3) DS3032 Entered in the System: NVC has received the DS3032, Choice of Agent and Address form on____________. Please allow 4-6 weeks before you will be notified by NVC.

4) AOS Fee Processed: NVC has received the DS3032, Choice of Agent and Address form on____________, and will send further instructions within the next few weeks..

5) IV Fee Bill Generation: The Immigration Visa Fee Bill letter has been generated on____________, and will be sent within the next few weeks..

Wow spoke to the worst operator ever..she was in such a hurry. But she did provide me the information finally saying that they received the AOS package with tax returns and blah blah blah. I asked about the IV package and she said call back in 2-4 weeks. I guess i keep calling everyday now as it seems that my packages have been entered into the System on Nov 1st. Yay!!!! almost 2 weeks r going to be done this friday. So starting next week I will be calling more frequently. LOL!!

Thanks Svenkatc for the help.
