how long before you got interview appointment?

waiting for my son's case number too. expedited case approved feb 28, sent to nvc march 5, will be calling monday if they recieve it and will try to expedite. 

i submitted my DS261 august 22, i called yesterday about IV bill and i got invoiced today.. have u call them yet?

I will call them tonight. I just hate calling so much, it's international for me and I'm always on hold for so long only to get some rude NVC person and feel intimidated into saying "no that's all" when I have more questions. And they talk over me and I think my questions are reasonable. I just hate it. But I know it's a part of the process.

Do you mean they can invoice the fees if they choose to do so? I submitted DS-261 like 37ish days ago.. I know it's nowhere near 60 days but others seem to be having theirs done faster.

we sent our AOS with proof of domicile,. we arrange a temporary accomodation with my hubby's brother.,hubby's house is currently rented right now and we are not planning to stay there.. my brother in law wrote a letter and thats what we sent with AOS.

Hi Bill, thanks! We will eventually need to lease an apartment but my worry is that we're not ready to lease an apartment as we're living in Canada and may not be ready to move for months. However, I thought that when you are trying to send in proof of domicile re-establishment that you need a lease.

Here is what they mention as evidence of intent to re-establish in the Field Adjudicator's Manual:

Although there is no time frame for the resident to establish residence, you must be satisfied that the sponsor has, in fact, taken up principal residence in the United States. Evidence that the sponsor has established a domicile in the United States and is either physically residing there or intends to do so before or concurrently with the applicant may include the following:
(1) Opening a bank account;
(2) Transferring funds to the United States;
(3) Making investments in the United States;
(4) Seeking employment in the United States;
(5) Registering children in U.S. schools;
(6) Applying for a Social Security number; and
(7) Voting in local, State, or Federal elections.

But earlier the manual says:

(4) The sponsor must establish an address (a house, an apartment, or arrangements for accommodations with family or friend) and either must have already taken up physical residence in the United States; or
(5) Must at a minimum to satisfy you that he or she intends to take up residence there no later than the time of the applicant’s immigration to the United States.

I'm totally confused about what proof is required at the NVC AOS I-864 submission step!!!! Do you need a lease or just some of the 7 things stated above?

Thanks again.

Still waiting for my last document, scanned 15 Aug, to be reviewed for case complete! We sooooo need to get this finished! Send prayers my way and those of us still hanging on from the first half of 2013! Thank you and God Bless!
