Hi guys! Happy Memorial day (weekend)

I just wanted to know if anyone knows the approximate time period it would take my mom to be joined with me in the US from Guyana.

Priority date: 21 Feb

notice of approval : April 19

Affidavit of support processing fee paid : May 4

she has to fill out that choice of agent form and mail it back to NVC in New Hampshire I believe..

WHATS NEXT? AND HOW LONG WOULD IT BE.....?

the reason I'm so eager to find out how long her process will take is becus I'm about to submit my fiance's I-129 F next week...and I know that his process as I've seen goes wayyy faster so....and My mom needs to be present for my wedding so i just want to have an idea!

thanks so muchhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't really wait for them to send any forms. All forms are available online.

Next:

The Choice of Agent: This can be emailed.

Did you call the NVC and update yours and mom's email address? I sent them the Choice of Agent from my mom's email address...

Affidavit of Support: Send the Affidavit of support and the supporting documents (along with the AOS cover sheet that you will print from the site that you made the payment through)

Immigrant Visa fee bill: You should have or soon will get the bill for the IV and you pay that. ($404)

Immigrant Visa Application: Once the bill shows paid you will also need to send the Immigrant visa application with supporting documents (along with the IV cover sheet that you will print from the site that you made the payment through)

You can check out my post here, I kind of gave a breakdown of what I did: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/307575-i-130-petition-approved-after-only-23-days/page__view__findpost__p__4644726

And see my timeline below for an update of what has happened since .

Hope this helps :)

Yes, you, the petitioner, can be the Agent - I am the agent for my mom.

I would call them and give email address for you and your mom (every time they send something they usually send it to both mine and mom's email) I hope you haven't been only communicating with them through regular mail - if so this will take much longer.

after that is done...the affidavit of support....the i-485 ? along with the payment coverletter from the $88 fee? do i just fill that out and send it back withing hearing from the NVC again ?

The Affidavit of Support (AOS) is form i-864 - send that with supporting documents. you don't need to hear from the NVC, you paid the fee so you can send it.

thnx alot u're fantastic.....

this is so frustration as i mentioned im applying for both my mom n my fiancee ! grrrrrr

I understand. No worries.

I didnt have emails on file for us...but its a weekend so I wont be able to do so, the number rings out (not even an automated service) SO do i have to wait until i give them an email for my mom and i to send the DS-3032 via email or can i just do so now??????? and yes i have been doing everything via snail mail :/

The Affidavit of Support (AOS) is form i-864 - send that with supporting documents. you don't need to hear from the NVC, you paid the fee so you can send it.

roger that, ok so when will i get the invoice to pay that processing fee for the i-864? after the DS-3032 is received via email im guessing???

I understand. No worries.

:) thanks for all the answers
