Hey, I received an RFE and was so puzzled as to what they were requesting as I sent a very complete package. Somehow they lost my passport pictures so they asked for those again, once I sent them in I got an approval a week later. Hoping the same for you.

That's exactly what I was thinking in my head yesterday that I sent in a complete package. Everything was there. So why are they asking for RFE? Anyways I hope my RFE turns out same as yours. I will be more than happy then. Thank you for the response. Feeling a bit better since yesterday.

I have a few questions about the nvc, sorry I have to post it here but the nvc thread is to fast haha I can keep up with the topic.

So we have a lawyer and since the beggining of the process she collected everything, aos, police certificate, everything, she will be of course in charge of filling out the forms, what u guys will do she said she will cal and all to get the nvc numb3r or priority whatever should I call to?

David87 how's the nvc/lawyer working out for u, give me some advice por favor!!

Btw we got approved 8/21Thu

Shipped nvc 8/27

And last remember guys we are all in this, I am really thankful I found out this website, I dnt really talk about this situation to any one cause nobody will understand how stressful it is but we are halfway there.

When we started this process people told me it will be up to a year to get approved, now the nvc backlog, i dont believe anthing because I have faith.

Commit your way to the LORD!

Trust him! He will act

6 and will make your righteousness

shine like the dawn,

your justice like high noon.

7 Be still before the LORD,

Dont get upset when

Hey there,

Well I was approved on July 31st and my attorney in Boston received an email from NVC Attorney Email address with my case number and AOS and IV invoices on August 20th, so 3 weeks later. I went online and paid for both of them using a US bank account number, next day it was showing as PAID, I am now waiting for his instructions on the paperwork that I will need for my IV application, mine will habe to be a paper application DS 230 due to my case status beginning with MDD. who knows. But he is still assuring me that we will have an interview date in the next three months. If you have an attorney you do have an advantage as you skip the choice of agent part, If at the time of filing your I130 your attorney filled out the choice of agent form that is it, NVC will contact him directly as they did with mine through an email, he forwarded me the PDF which was the letter saying my visa petition had been registered and case number bla bla bla and at the end the two invoices.

This is my progress so far, I am a Spanish citizen but im also Uruguayan so I know they´ll probably ask for criminal check from Uruguay as well and Ive already asked a family member to get that and another birth certificate for me as it takes a little bit. I dont see why they ask for the same documents over and over again, but anyways Im happy with the progress so far and am patiently waiting on the Lord.

Have an awesome day.

David

Hi David, and thank you for this. We also have an attorney and after hearing about the AOS/IV fees getting invoiced at the same time I wondered how the case would proceed when we get approved. This sounds really promising. Just to make sure, what do you mean by "at the time of filing your I130 your attorney filled out the choice of agent form"? Do you mean the G-28 form?

Yes the G28 my bad. If you submitted that one then NVC will send an email to your attorney with your Case number and both invoices.I had to pay one at a time as it wont allow to pay them together but each only takes 2 min its really easy. U need a US bank account. After those two clear. He will than send the AOS package and the IV DS260 application online. Once those two are accepted ur file will be sent to ur nearest Embassy or Consulate for interview. Not much else to it. Hope this helps.
