I t has been a couple of years  since I did the CR-1 visa for my wife and things night have a change a little, but this is what I did for the NVC process

 The NVC will assign a invoice number It might take a while for the NVC to receive case and assign your number. You Should receive a welcome letter from the NVC ,but do not wait for that as that will delay your case if you do. You should start calling the NVC at (603) 334-0700  a couple of weeks after your Noa2 (petition Approve from  USCIS) to get your case and invoice number. They are open 7am to 12 midnight Est. I found the best  time to call is early in the morning right when they open. I have also heard that  late at night before they close is a good time to call when calling for first time you will need your USCIS case number and birth-dates of petitioner and beneficiary

While you are waiting for the NVC to assign your case and invoice number. you should start gathering require documents. The US citzen will need financial documents (AOS packet) you will need copies of  your documents (IV packet)

Copies you will  need to include are

NSO (PSA)copy of marriage certificate

NSO (PSA) copy of birth certificate

NBI cleareance in all names use

Police clearance from any other countries live. the NBI clearance is the only one needed if  Philippines is only county live in.

Photocopy of the biographic data page of your valid passport

Court and prison record

Marriage Termination Documentation

Military Records

 and any other documents that is applicable to your case.

After you have receive the case number and invoice number, you can go to CEAC ( Consular Electronic Application Center) website and log in

your first step will be to fill out the DS-261 form.

It designate who will receive notices from the NVC regarding case status. It is best to make the US spouse the designator . However  it really  does not matter. The Philippine spouse can be  it or a third party can be. One thing to remember   Do not click back on the Ds-261 form after you have completed it, as it will restart the 30 days the NVC  state that is needed for reviewing of the DS-261

 

after you  fill out the DS-261 form you can pay the AOS fee ($120.00). the fee must be paid thru a US bank account. an alternative way to pay is thru the mail.

After you paid The AOS fee you should send in both the AOS and the IV packets . You will need a bar code cover sheet. you can use the one included with the  NVC welcome letter or you can print one from the AOS  payment portal  on your  CEAC account.Send both packets to the address on the bar code cover sheet. Also include the document check list that comes with the NVC welcome letter. (You do not have to wait for the IV fee to be paid or the Ds-260 form to be fill out before the packets are sent.)

 

There are Two processes involve with the NVC one is the payment of fees and filling out the two forms, the other is reviewing of the documents. After you send in documents you will want to call the NVC for two reasons. One to see if they receive your documents. The date they receive your documents that will be your scan date. If the NVC is not backlog. It normally takes 30 days for them to review documents. For my wife case it took 42 days as we sent our document in Feb 2015. The NVC was close several times due to snowstorms.
