How long has it been taking for invoices to show as paid? We paid AOS bill on the 27th (Wed) and still isn't showing paid. This is the third business day. Should I call or give it until Monday. (rant: why do all my deadlines seem to fall on weekends? Am starting to hate weekends! lol)

They've also got until the end of the day today to accept my DS-3032 or else I'm doing supervisor review, I don't care if it's only been a week, how hard is it to receive an email and review it?

Call and ask!

Mine cleared within 24 hrs.

I received my DS-3032 confirmation email today, and my invoice for my IV.

NVC will complete my case as soon as payment clears. I called and asked.

This just arrived.

Awesome, me too! My first game was watching Carl "The Yaz" hit his 3000th and I was hooked. I already got my wife her hat and we are planing on first game in April, if we can get this done. Good luck to you!

Congrats!

My wife is a Red Sox fanatic too!

Thats awesome, I was in Makati area at that time. She lives in GenSan though. I grew up in Boston, do you live there now?

Live in California. I am a bigger Red Sox fan than the Fever Pitch character.

Never lived in Boston. The Boston Red Sox know who I am..lol

Wow, ok I think I will fedex mine also then. IV bill is waiting to be paid still, they said last night they were preparing the invoice and I should recv very soon. Looks like we are very close in dates, hoping for last week of March to be in Manila and not come back without my wife.

I plan on going to the interview, and take extra luggage(1 carry-on and checked) inside my checked bag for her stuff.

Same here! Our Birthdays are 3/21 and 3/28.

I was in PI 12/21/12-1/10/13 Pangasinan area

Did you send the DS-230 at the same time before paying IV bill and they accepted it?

Yes, they told me to. They said to include the same cover letter I used for the I-864, because they only want the barcode.

I hope to be invoiced for the IV today, and hope it is completed today. Hoping for a interview in 2 weeks

Called this AM told them that G. Peters signed for the FEDEX.

Our papers(I-862/DS-230) will be reviewed by PI Supervisor, and forwarded to United States Embassy, Manila.

Then the United States Embassy, Manila, will complete the process.

I hope my wife and I are HERE in the USA before the 21st of March.

See what happens when the right people are involved

Papers have been delivered to the NVC via FEDEX.

Hurry....

I try to ask to operator to forward me to their Supervisor but he doesn't want 'cause i haven't reach the max processing time.. It's frustrating process.. Wanna cry!

BTW, congrats!

Thank You

So sad, the operator didn't mean what he says.. til now i'm still dreaming for IV to be invoiced...

TALK to the SUPERVISOR. I did, and my DS-3032 was approved.

Waiting to pay the IV,

Packet should be done tomorrow before the end of the day, if they hurry..lol So Hurry!

Papers should be there no later than 1030am(Tracking FedEx) .lol

FINALLY GOT A CASE NUMBER!!!!!! So excited I don't know what to do with myself!! The guy said it is being processed so he wouldn't take my emails and said to call back with them next week. Is this normal? Can't think straight - need to go back and reread the guides...

The rest of my Feb 11 VJers - hope you get your numbers before the weekend as well!

Congrats!

Congrats on getting expedited !

Sorry, if i missed that part,

but what was your reason to ask for and expedited processing?

Just asked them, a Congressman, and Senator.

Congrats on the Expedite. Smooth sailing from here *fingers crossed*

Thank You

NVC Supervisor called me and said my DS-3032 is approved, and to send my papers,

I FedEx shipped them overnight. Glad to be EXPEDITED!

This is why it's so much easier to just follow the email template. That way, there's no printing, no filling out, no signing, no scanning, no attaching. Just one simple email.

Hopefully the operator sticks to his word and gets it sorted out!

This is what I sent:

Electronic Agent Selection

NVC Case Number:

CIS Case Number:

Alien Beneficiary's Full Name:

Alien Beneficiary's Date of Birth:

Sponsor's Full Name:

Sponsor's Date of Birth:

The following person is my sponsor and should receive all correspondence from the NVC as my appointed agent:

My name

my Address

Please send all mail from the National Visa Center and/or U.S. Department of State relating to my immigrant visa to the above address.

Thank You

First, middle, last name

Her cell phone #

Her email address

What? Why do you need that? Didn't you follow the email template and send that in? You are making this way more complicated than it needs to be.

I sent an email with the info, but it wasn't signed, then scanned, then emailed.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I didn't know I needed my wife to sign the DS-3032!

(ME)..I need her to print it and scan it back to me..looks like I delayed things a day.

Not happy

Manila approved my request to EXPEDITE!

Told to send all papers to NVC overnight

Since the CoA form is filled out by the beneficiary (or should anyways), then the email should come from the beneficiary's email.

Despite this, I've seen petitioners send the CoA form with no problems...

Thanks I resent from her email, just incase

would it matter what email the DS-3032 was sent from? Mine or my wifes?

Where would I go from here? LOL

I am here

NVC has another snow storm apparently
