After 8 1/2 long months we finally got our visa! Thank you so much everyone. This forum has been a Godsend. Good luck to all those in the process. Remember it's just a small amount of time that will be behind you soon. It's just a matter of time. Be strong!

Case Complete!! I just called this morning. They informed me that next up is the interview. Thank God.
Great luck to everyone else. I'm so happy this is my last NVC thread.

My AOS scan date Sept 8
My IV scan date Sept 15
So far no movement based on NVC each time I call. Also no changes on the site.

This month is my birthday and I'd love the gift of a case complete please.

I'm in the same boat as you guys. I didn't include copies of the originals, just sent originals. I'll try calling them later today to see if I get the same answer. Will keep you posted.

It's normal. The option to pay should apprear within the next 24-48 hours. The same thing happened with us.

Just woke up to find my IV Fee invoice in my inbox! What a great surprise. Now I'm just waiting for it to update on the website and I'll pay it right away.
So for those who are waiting for their DS-261 to be accepted and for their IV fee invoice, just keep calling them.
Now on to the next phase.

Ok thats a good idea! Thanks for your reply. Getting the NVC docs was a great way to start my day. I can't wait!

Hi Canadian_wife! Partner is an Aussie term that people use all the time when referring to their significant other. Guess it's something I picked up along the way. We're an opposite sex couple.
Also looking for some insight or stories from other Aussie/American couples who have gone through the process.
