Case at NVC, now what?

[CodyM 0]

Hello, our case has finally made it to NVC. We have recieved our NVC Case Number and Invoice Identification Number. We have paid the $88 Affidavit of Support fee but the IV application fee has not yet appeared, when can we pay that? We have also filled out the online DS-260. Now I know that I have to mail in my Affidavit of Support documents with the bar coded cover sheet. What im not sure is what my wife (the beneficiary) has to do between now and the interview. It is my understanding she has to send to the nvc all the supporting documents listed on this page http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/submit/documents-to-submit-to-nvc.html and also take all that with her to the interview? How does she put that packet of information together, is there a certain format she must follow? It says to mail originals but also to take originals to the interview. Does that mean she needs to get two originals of everything? Any advice on what to do during this phase would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

CodyM,

On what date did you receive your NOA2 (I-130 Approval)?

CodyM,

Look on their timeline! That's why we have them.

(granted the OP doesn't have their NOA2 on there, but they do have the NVC received date.)

CodyM's timeline neither has a green check mark next to the "I-130 NOA 2" rectangle on the "USCIS I-130 Petition:" line or a date next to "I-130 Approved". This is why I was asking when they received their NOA2. This would help me to gauge the length of time it took for their case to be "received" by NVC.

I noticed... that's why I wrote the bracketed part.

Oh, I missed that. My case just got approved 1/29 at USCIS and that is why I wanted to know how long their case took to be transferred and "received" at NVC. Thanks.

[NikLR 13,227]

Where did you get approval from? TSC? CSC? or did it stay at the NBC?

CSC. Status says it was transferred 1/29 to NVC. My wife has a growth in her left kidney and I need to get her here ASAP. My lawyer is insisting I file a K3 application since NVC is allegedly backed up really back right now...he claims this will have her here in 6-8 weeks. Oh, and she's pregnant. I went to see her in December and now we have a child on the way. Gotta love how the taxpaying US Citizens get put on the backburner!

[NikLR 13,227]

I agree. CSC is fairly fast. I'd say start calling this week and call every other day until you get the numbers. Always be pleasant and friendly, even if it's hard. Trust me when I say they keep a record of how often you call and your attitude when doing so.
