What a way to start the week off!!!!

Congratulations to you and good luck to everybody waiting for progress in their case!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much - we are very excited! Now where is that email ??? :dancing:

Congrats!!

Thank you very much!

Congrats!

Thank you!

Yay!!!!! Congratulations!! :dance::dance: and I love that you called it the Visa Triple Crown :lol:

I thought it was a pretty good way to say it!

Sweet congratulations :D(F)(L)(F)

Thank you.

Congrats! When did NVC receive/scan in the last package that you sent to them? Just wondering to see if it is anywhere around the time they received my last

package. Hoping for a CC this week.

Last package (IV) mailed on May 1, Recd on May 2 and scanned into system on May 5. Our timelines are almost exactly the same.

Best wishes to all who are still waiting at NVC and thanks again to all VJ'ers for your help.

Wow! I just went back and looked at the cover sheet for my Checklist and you are right! It says to allow 20 business days after they receive it to review what you have sent. So the whole 30 day ####### they have been telling me is incorrect. They send something in writing stating it is 20 BUSINESS DAYS!!!

Thank you! Either way, I have decided that I need to see my husband by the first week of July. At this point, who care if I have to pay an arm and a leg to fly there. But $1700 hurts oh so much!

I heard that too, many times! Where did they get if from?????????

I'm surprise that nobody questioned it!!!!!! People!!! C'mon!!!

Hi everyone, just a quick question: I don't have a printer at my current apartment, but I'd rather make the AOS payment from the comfort of my own home and not at an internet café (I don't make a habit of entering bank info on public computers). Is the bar-coded cover sheet from the payment portal able to be saved as a PDF or by other means, maybe a screen shot? I'm hoping I can e-mail it to myself and then go to the internet café to print it out.

Thanks!

You can just log into the payment portal and print it out from there. It's not just a one-time thing right after you pay. The bar-coded cover sheet will always be available on the payment portal. So, just pay the bill at home, then you can log into the payment portal elsewhere to print the bar-coded cover sheet.

You can email it too if you wish.

Folks, about the 20 business days on NVC correspondence vs the 30 days when calling:

Remember, NVC doesn't update their correspondence right away when things change (it typically takes them months and months). So, that 20 business day time frame was from a few months ago before they got backlogged. That's when they bumped it up to 30 business days. So, the time frames you're hearing from operators are true.

it gives you the option to email it to email addresses of your choice. It will automatically email it to the petitioner's email.

You can just log into the payment portal and print it out from there. It's not just a one-time thing right after you pay. The bar-coded cover sheet will always be available on the payment portal. So, just pay the bill at home, then you can log into the payment portal elsewhere to print the bar-coded cover sheet.

You can email it too if you wish.

Thanks, guys! Much appreciated, as always. Funny side note: My husband is floored by the quick responses I get whenever I post on VJ. I'll be like, "Oh, I got a response and someone said..." and he'll be like "Already???" He also thought you got paid for what you do, Saylin! I said no, she's just our NVC fairy godmother. :P

Gosh, I wish! I would quit my job in an instant if that were true! But alas :lol:

Although, someone I met here has been doing some research for me on how to become an immigration consultant, so maybe one day I'll be paid in relation to immigration.
