Will NVC inform us if AOS is okay? And how?

If they need more information, they will send you a checklist of what they need. Otherwise, they won't inform you of anything until they complete the case.

after I sent in AOS they told me nothing. I was approved Feb13th, mailed to manila Feb 19th. I had to call every day. Was told they could not give me DHL tracking....just to wait

The consular officer at the interview has the end decision on whether or not to accept the AOS. The NVC simply makes sure it meets the minimum guidelines and that the required paperwork is there.

No, I am saying that if the AOS is rejected after the NVC case complete, it will come at interview time.

The NVC collects paperwork and fees. They make sure everything is completed correctly. They do not approve or deny anything beyond the basics. It is the job of the consular officer at the time of the interview to review the visa application, IV documents, and AOS paperwork to make a decision on the issuance of the visa.

NLR is right. In theory, if someone makes the minimum for the household size, they should be good to go, and NVC will most definitely complete the case. However, a consular officer doing the interview may think it is not enough for whatever reason and deny the visa pending a joint sponsor. Some consulates are more fussy than others.
