hey guys with Dec scan dates, any luck yet??

I went on the ceac website on Saturday and saw the paid on the AOS changed to N/A so I waited until today and called to confirm the rep told me the case was complete on the 16th...

Thanks! Good Luck with the interview, wishing the best.

Nov21st no check list

congrats! did you find out by calling ?

what is your last scan date?

Hey everybody,

Looking for any Brazilian interviewers here, my wife has an interview set for February 6th, and we've tried all 3 approved doctors in São Paulo off the Rio US embassy website, and have been told by 2 of the 3 that they do not do the medical exam anymore, and the 3rd will be at a seminar until February 9th. We've e-mailed the embassy for more information, but hoping to find someone who can help us out!! Has anyone done the medical exam in São Paulo, and if so where? If anyone's done a medical exam in all of Brazil, really would help!! Recently too, as we think the embassy website is outdated with the approved doctors.

Thanks, and good luck to all!!

did you look into the doctor in Rio? maye if your wife can arrive in Rio a few days before her interview she can do the medical exam there..

guys... Any december scans with check list or case complete? I know is almost imposible but it doesnt hurt to ask =)

Hey! My last scan date is Dec. 4^th (due to resending AOS doc after self reviewing and found a small erro ) , no CC yetL hoping time passes faster. I cannot handle the wait. 60 days seems like a lifetime..

has anyone been on CEAC today? still havin issues will fees....

Hi! I ended up recieving a second checklist for the number of people in household, apparently they didnt like the number of people I put in, and they just told me to bring a new AOS to the interview and completed our case (Thank God) Hopefully that will happen for you!

I sure hope so!!! thankss!

I sent in my AOS on the 18th of NOV. after thinking about it i think i didn´t write how many people I was sponsoring*, 1 which is just my husand. Although I am living abroad therefore I haven´t filed for taxes...so I have a joint sponsor, which filed the AOS correctly.. does anyone have any insite if my tiny error will result in a checklist.. if so should i already send out a new AOS, before i have to wait 60 more dayss ??

60 days of waiting is stressful..

* part 3 # 7 AOS forgot..

p.s has anyone paid for AOS vai money order??

We received an AoS checklist on 10/17 and the scan date for its package is 10/21

Samething is happening to me! AOS was ´PAID´ now its say ´PAY NOW´ what is going on.

I assigned agent on Nov 7 and AOS Fee Paid Nov 8. On Nov 19 i called NVC and they told me DS261 is not reviewed but as you have called now its gonna reviewed now (otherwise it was going to take 30 days) and you will get IV invoice emails after 2 business days. I got no email and today i again called and they said your ds261 reviewed on Nov 20 and you will get IV Invoice email between Nov 28 to first week of Dec as NVC is backlogged.

Also am i the only one who think that after Agent Assigned, AOS and IV fee payment you have to send all documents in one packet as written on following link http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Submit_documents.html

???

Why people are sending Support Document early and then IV documents???

I don´t think it matters if you send the packets together or seperate.. I am sure the only problem is if you send them seperatly it can delay the case.. lets say you send in IV packet after the AOS, NVC may start counting the 60 day review after they recieve the last packet of documents...

Hi Jafrietas did you get the barcodes coversheet via email or when you paid AOS?

Also if you got it via email how long did it take from when NVC received your case?

** my case arrived At the NVC oct. 14th. On oct. 31st my husband (beneficiary) received the welcome letter via email, which includes the NVC case # and IID # and a document cover sheet.. Nov. 4 I received the same email, my email had the AOS fee invoice included. After paying the AOS fee there is another bar-coded that is generated on the CEAC.

When I sent in the 1-864 AOS packet I included both bar-code cover sheets.. But I sent in the IV packe with just the one from NVC welcome email since I still haven't been invoiced the IV fee bill...

I think NVC doesn't send out physical mail.. At least I have only heard of then sending emails.. ( don't count me on that thought, not positive)..

Hi there. I'm still waiting for my IV fee to be available. It says "pay now" but like you said it shows the $0 amount.

I have paid AOS fee on Nov 4th. Haven't sent out both of our package yet because that's what it says on their website now...

So I called in last week about the IV fee. The lady told me that it was because DS-261 hasn't been generated and she needed to speak the Petitioner (my agent) to proceed it, which didn't make sense to me at all.. Well but fortunately, I was visiting my husband at that time and we were together so I gave the phone to him and she spoke with her. She told him to wait about 5 - 7 business days to receive an email. It has been 6 business days. I still haven't got any email. I think they are just backlogged with every steps.... But I'm here pretty much on the same boat as you are.

I called in again today. The rep told me to wait till the end of this week to receive the fee. I asked her if we still have to wait for the fee to be paid to send out our package, then she said NO. I don't have to wait till the fee to be paid to send out the package.... So confusing. I'm still deciding where I should send them out without IV coversheet or not...

But yea, just to make your feel better, I'm here still waiting for it like you are. Hope to receive the email soon..

I´d say its safe to go ahead and send your IV packet, although you should use the bar-code cover sheet from the NVC welcome packet, that is a document checklist.. Well that´s what I did atleast, a lady from NVC said I was okay to do so.. I hope we find something out soon..

use your bar-code cover sheet. like this..

On Nov. 3, filed out DS-261 Choice of Agent.. I have already paid AOS fee bill and I have sent in I-864 AOS packet.. But my IV invoice says ´pay now´ although when i click on the link there is a $0.00 balance, I called the NVC wednesday to see what the deal was, the lady said I should recive an email within, but still nothing... Does anyone know why it is taking so long to process IV invoice? has this happened to anyone?? what should i do?

- NVC also told me to already send in IV civil doc. packet with case barcode sheet (even though IV fee hasn´t been paid.).. so i did ASAP.

This entire process really test one´s patients.. Since my case has arrived at the NVC I have been refreshing my email and CEAC page for any newss!!

Thanks.

Thank you all!
good luck to every one!!

Hey guys!
Yesterday I sent my husands IV packet of civil documents to the NVC, I used the document cover sheet* sent in the welcome email from the NVC (which askes you to checkmark all documents in the packet) I didnt use the document cover sheet from the CEAC.. Does anyone know if it really matters which one i use, since they both have bar-codes generated by NVC?
