"You must pay the $165 fee online using USCIS ELIS after you receive your immigrant visa package from a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad (including Canada and Mexico) and before you depart for the United States."

Hi all

My interview is this Tues the 10th June. Can anyone tell me if this is paid at the interview or can I pay afterwards? If anyone has specific experience with the DUBLIN embassy that would be great. Also just wondering if they take credit card there?

Thanks everyone

Hey Palomino - we are also going through Dublin embassy interview, but not until July 8th. Be sure to let us know how everything goes. The fee just needs to be paid online before departing for the US. Read the POE section from the below link. They have a link there too to a copy of the letter explaining the process there.

NVC received our approved petition on 3/6, still no case number, Jim (at NVC) said ones received the week before have case numbers so it should be a week or so before they put us in the system. Can someone add to the spreadsheet? Oh and the link the the spreadsheet? Where's that at?

Thank you to all who put so much work into this.

We received I-130 petition approval and are now awaiting the beginnings of the NVC process. My question is this, in our I-130 I included everything but the kitchen sink: mine and my spouses' birth certificate, all pages of our passports, joint bank statement, original 'copy' of our marriage license, photos of us through the years, cards, affidavits of bona fide marriage, two each passport photos, and evidence of travel for us both.

My question is, as part of the NVC stage will I need to resubmit much of this documentation again (birth certificate, marriage license, passport pages, etc) or will my entire package make its' way though the bowls of NVC and thus all my pre-work pay off?

Is this info correct ?

I knew about Cindy but what about first 3 people..

Where they posted their approval note, lol..

Or I missed previous pages.

Yes, that's correct for ours, I've posted a couple of times in here to ask someone to update

Can someone update the google doc for me? NOA2 on it's way.

Approval sent 2/27

APPROVED! 2/27

Could someone be so kind as to update the google doc?

Question I'm hoping someone here might be able to answer.

With my I-130 application I also submitted a significant amount of supporting evidence (bank statement, marriage certificate, passport copies, affidavits, etc). Does anyone know if when my application gets approved, do all those documents will go with it to NVC or will I need to resubmit them all again? I was trying to be efficient and have a complete as possible package from the outset submitting things that were only required at the NVC stage with the I-130.

Can someone update the workbook for me? Hard copy transfer came today...CSC!!!!

Transfer notice emailed today 2/10. 8/15 PD

I waited 135 minutes to talk to a Tier2 but hey..

totally worth it

DONE good sir !

We just basically try to map which petitions CIS will transfer next --- as well as try to figure the "average time" to approval (post-transfer) based on historical figures.

Hope this helps.

It does! Thanks very much! Best of luck to all!

can someone post a updated spreadsheet im having toruble finding it thanks

Sorry, new to this. What's the spreadsheet all about? I'm an 8/15 submitter, should I be adding my stats to that workbook for tracking?

I have a August 15th date and waiting patiently to hear some news on an I-130 (spouse). I just spoke with USCIS regarding a change of address. While I had them on the phone I asked about processing timelines and she indicated they are currently working through the March submissions of this type and it could be as much as 5 months before I could see a decision. Just curious if this jives with what others are hearing? It's currently sitting at MSC
