hello December 2013 filers! our time is coming, slowly but surely!

I do have a question for anyone who can answer: People are sending in their AOS/IV docs before IV fee has generated and thus also before DS-260 has been filled. (I was also advised to do this some time back by an NVC rep - but I hesitated. I recently got email from NVC invoicing my IV fee and in giving me the option to pay by mail.). I am sooooo torn about this paying by mail option because it seems to delay things alot.

so here is my question: wont sending in docs before the DS-260 is filled, generate a DS-260checklist? and wont getting a checklist reset your scan date?

with all this website problem, does it make more sense to wait until the IV is payable online thus opening DS-260 before I send in the docs??

thoughts anyone?

You have maintained greencard status. You will be fine. I do not see any problem with domicile here. 2 years are plenty to show that you live here and best part is that you paid taxes for 2 years. Good luck.
