I had my interview today in Mumbai! VISA APPROVED!! ON THE SPOT!
Husband and I are so happy!! I was barely even asked anything, wasn't asked to show any pictures, nothing. I was out of the embassy by 8am!! Was in there for barely half an hour!!
I was told to pick up my passport in 3-5 days!

Oh my gosh I am so happy for you Lowlie! I have been reading your posts about the difficulties you've had to go through. Just be glad it is all over and keep on having faith that true love can conquer everything!!
Cheers to love!

Well, seeing as your case number was only assigned on 21st of August, which was a Friday, I think you will be invoiced for the AOS fees by Monday. Mine showed up a day after I got my case number and submitted the DS-261. Although you should know the ds261 does not have any connection to the aos fees.
The point is, your fees would have been invoiced by now had it not been for the weekend.
Keep us posted!

Oh don't mention it. I have been through this thing so I know how horrible it is. Waiting and waiting for 5 whole months is so excruciating.But, the good thing is, you will get through it. No matter how crazy it feels right now.
I was going crazy myself. But my husband visited in June for 2 weeks while we were waiting so that helped a bit.
Buckle up, it's going to be an emotional year. And do not lose hope.

Wait a day or two. Once they have your case in their system and are able to update it, on case they aren't able to review it, just ask if you could do the form with them over the phone. That usually works. At least it did for me.

If you want to look at a sample letter, I wrote one and posted it just yesterday on this topic. Maybe if you went back a couple pages, you'd find it.
Just, don't forget to put NVC's ADDRESS AND SUBJECT right after the date.
Other than that, it was perfect.
Also add Dear Sir/Madam after mentioning petitioner and beneficiary's information and above the paragraph where you explain the problem.

Also, the first two times I called, they didn't mention anything about mails getting processed earlier. But last night this rep told me very clearly and specifically that that was the case.
The first two times they did ask me to send a letter first, but then when I would ask if I could just email them, they said yeah that would be okay too.
So now I'm leaning more towards sending an actual mail instead of an email.

Well, from what I know, it doesn't. I think I read on the NVC process guide that it is something NVC might use in the future, but for now it is of no use.
