    RR, if you would like me to create it for you I can...otherwise here goes:

    http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/...s%27s_Shortcuts

    1. Go to this website: http://www.idautomation.com/java/linearservlet.html

    2. Follow these instructions: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/...de_instructions

    3. Once you are done and click on Create Barcode, upper left part of screen...a pop up window will open.

    4. This is your barcode, but notice it says "powered by ID..." underneath it? We need to get rid of that text. So follow these next steps:

    5. Right Click on the Barcode. and Select SAVE PICTURE AS. Note where you are saving it to...I suggest your desktop.

    6. Open Microsoft Word.

    7. Select Insert -> Picture -> From File and select the name of the file that you saved in step 5.

    8. The barcode should now be in word.

    9. Print it out.

    10. Cut it out with scissors (make sure it is cut straight and the word "Powered by ID..." are not part of the part you will paste onto the DS3032 form)....Further I am very ####### so I measured the dotted box on the DS3032 form and made sure when I cut out the barcode it was the exact same size as that dotted line box. After it was all said and done, my barcode was in the center of the box when I pasted it...yes with glue.

    11. If you want me to check your work, you can scan the form and email to me and I will print it and ensure your barcode can be read. If you have access to a barcode reader at work, neighborhood store, pretty much where ever you see something that scan barcodes you can ask if they would be willing to scan your barcode. Once scanned it should be exactly what your case number is including the letters of course.

    NVC Online Payment System

    in National Visa Center (Dept of State)

    Posted

    Hello Everyone, I paid the AOS fee bill online without a hitch. Yesterday the IV Application Processing Fee was available online to pay...so I did the same as I did for the AOS. When I log back in under the Invoices, it says NOT PAID...and it allows me to click on the checkbox and attempt to pay it again. If I click on the Receipt at the top of the page, it takes me to a page that show the payment is IN PROCESS. I think I remeber seeing for the AOS fee bill that once it was IN PROCESS I could not click on the checkbox a second time as it was "greyed out". Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

    Have him print 2 copies of each and sign the respective ones inthe respective places.

    As a back up do you know about the emailing of the DS3032 form? That takes too long in my opinion but is a a good backup.

    Have you read this? http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...ost&id=7648

    You can work on the cover letters while you are waiting and the 864. :-)

    Some people are at NVC for months on end....we are at a point where the online system is working pretty good so we have to take advantage of that. Waiting for the generation of bills and them to receive them and put in the system could easily take 1+ months....for nothing. So we have to take advantage esp. since AMM is scheduling 2-3 months into the future. :-(

    is that 11 AM CDT? That means noon EDT. :-) online as in chat or online as in on VJ? We can also use VJ chat if needed.

    My absulte pleasure. You are angel in your own right!

    The DS 3032 the NVC will send one to him and you will get a copy along with the AOS Fee Bill. But since it is available online, you can have it to them long before you get the copy they send to you. And Ibrahim may never see his copy from the NVC so it's better to print it out from the Department of State website...see link above in earlier post.

    I thought of something...he can just sign the forms and DHL to you and you just fill out the information by hand when it arrives here. :-)

    DS3023 and DS230....he can just print them off and HE signs them blank. ONLY tell him to sign PART 1 though....(if he makes a mistake and signs Part II then you just will throw away the pages for Part II he signed and replace them with blank pages that you will print again...no harm done). I liked to fill mine out electronically b/c I have terrible handwritting...but it is not required. When when you get them from him you can fill them in by hand...in neat handwritting. :-) It is important that he get these signed and to you.

    If he wants to wait until Sunday....he can probably work his magic and get the police certificate for Jordan in a day. He can include that in the DHL to you. Do you have passport pictures of him? Have him send you 4 (2 for sure, 2 extra just in case).

    Tax transcripts? Did you get them faxed to you today? I was on hold for 60 minutes with IRS to get mine and I had to call a second time b/c I didn't get the first fax? I would get 2007, 2006 and 2005 transcripts? Do you have W2s? If you have them handy probably a good idea to include in the I864 AOS. I can help you with the 864 but really you should start working on that form.

    Don't know if you saw my timeline...i am almost to Case Complete as NVC...and hell I didn't even get the DS3032 at my house yet...which is the first thing NVC sends out once your case number has been assigned. LOL. I will send the AOS packet to NVC tomorrow. If the $400 IV Fee is Paid today or tomorrow then I will send out the DS230 packet Friday or Saturday...ISA case complete by the end of next week and then it will go to AMM!!! That would mean less then two weeks since case number assigned at NVC for me!!!

    It's past 10 PM call NVC, 1-603-334-0700. Press 1, and then 5 to speak with operator. Tell him/her I would like to know if there are any updates on my case. Then they will say something. Ask (confidently), "My attorney has requested my Invoice Identification Number. Could you please give that me?"....ISA they will give it to you. Write it down and read it back to them! LOL That number is KEY for paying online.

    Definitely jJ. How do you want to coordinate that? I use my work computer for IM and I will need his yahoo id to add him. Did you get your case number yet? I can generate the barcode for you.

    Call me and I will help you on your end. I can send you what I have...we can fill in the forms together? Or I can fill in and send to Ibrahim and he signs and snail mails to you. I PM-ed my number to ya!

    Right now, I figure you have a few days until the file gets to NVC. Here is what you need to do:

    1. Get NVC case number.....the IVR when you call it 6033340700, press 1, 1, 1, 4, then enter WAC number. If it is in the NVC system they will give you an AMM number. It will say something like "NVC has entered your case number on blah, you NVC number is blah" In your case it will start with AMM2008xxxxxx. This is important.

    2. Once we have your case number I can help you create your bar code.

    3. Also I know they update the NVC system on Tuesdays with what they have received or generated. Call Tuesday morning early as possible..so if needed you can get to the post office to over night anything (so as not to lose Tuesday). I have heard they do it also on Saturdays...but I have not seen proof of that.

    4. Read this: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_1335.html

    5. Ibrahim needs to fill out/sign these forms DS230 and SIGN PART I only, PART II will be signed at the interview in AMM. I suggest you get the information from him and you fill out, email to him and he mails back to you ASAP. The DS3032, should take 2 seconds to fill out and print and sign. Once it gets here you and I will create the barcode and print out and paste it. This form is VERY important to get NVC moving on generating things. Basically what this form is, is that it tells the NVC to send everything to you at your address rather than Ibrahim in Jordan. The USPS (postal service) is much faster and usually more likely to arrive then the Jordan Post Office. Know what I mean.

    6. Once you get the IIN from an operator....do a search on VJ on IIN to find out more how to do this, you go online to pay the Affidavit of Support Fee Bill It is $70.00. It takes two - three business days for the payment to post.

    7. Once they accept the $70 payment, you need to send in the Affidavit of Support packet. You need to fill out the "I864"...there are several versions of this depending on your situation. First will you use your income only? If so, then you may be able to USE I864EZ. http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3730.html THIS IS YOUR FORM and YOU FILL THIS OUT AND SIGN IT. Ibrahim has nothing to do with this form. Get this going and completed. it took me a while to get everything. Do you have your employment letter yet. Get this done and notarized at your bank...they do it for free...your boss/manager/owner will have to sign in teh presence of the notary and have him/her bring ID with them.

    8. Once the DS3032 has been accepted, teh NVC will then send the IV Fee Bill...this is $400.00. This is the fee for the CR1/IR1 visa....so Ibrahim won't pay at AMM.

    9. once they accept that payment they will send you the DS230 package of forms...since Ibrahim would have filled it in and sent it to you all you have to do is put everything together and send it in.

    OK this is what Ibrahim needs to get additionally:

    has he lived anywhere else besides Jordan or the US for longer than 6 months? See this link for more information: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/in...195.html#police In Jordan he goes to his local police station of his town to request this. He should tell them it is for immigrating to the US. They should know what it is. He takes two pictures with him. it costs 1 JD or less to get. http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/reciproc...ocity_3593.html This will be sent to the NVC by you as part of the DS230 packet.

    You have your marriage certificate from the US right? I don't know what is needed there? Is it possible to get another copy/certified copy?

    If Ibrahim has been married before he will need the divorce decree from the Sharia Court where he got divorced. He might also need the marriage certificate. These are now sent to the NVC by you as part of the DS230 packet...not to AMM like before.

    DS-230 Question 34, possible problem?

    in National Visa Center (Dept of State)

    Posted

    Did we do something wrong? I would'nt think that this would cause a problem but with the interview less than 24 hours away I am just nervous and anxious. There is nothing wrong with saying yes right? I mean It is not like we used an attorney or anything, We just filled out the form together when I was with her in June. Thoughts anyone?

    I recently asked the same question. The answer is no, if you helped her, just say yes, and the person that helped is the fiance.

    they just want to make sure they understand the form

    In this case husband or wife helped, not fiancee. But again question 34 is if the applicant used a third part like a lawyer to fill out the form.

    NO it is not only for attorney...the questions gives examples like relative, friend.... Bottom line if you assisted the applicant then you should fill in question #34. If you so happen to be the husband then just put that down as it asks for relation to the applicant. There is nothing wrong with filling that in.

    Moto, best of luck. Nothing you can do at this point so don't over think everything. Relax and look forward to hearing Visa Granted!!!!!!

    Interviews in Amman Anyone??

    He will get the DS3032 in say a month or so if they mailed it to him. You need to be proactive. You will also get a copy of hte DS3032. Best thing have Ibrahim go to the DOS website and download it, fill it in and then print two copies. Have him sign them both. He will then mail these to you....and then you will paste the barecode on teh paper he sent you. If you do it your way you are talking a minimum of 3 months at NVC.

    While he is mailing the DS3032 to you, have him fill out the DS230 also found on the DOS website and send that to you. He only signs Part !, Part II he will sign at his interview.

    Seriously jJ, you wait at NVC could be 3 months....+ 3 months at the consulate for interview, you are talking February 09 at the earliest for the interview.

    You have my number.......I will be happy to create any forms for you.

    jJ, I can help you with anything. I have a barcode reader at my work that I used to verify they could read it. You can call the IRS and order transcripts automatically. 1-800-829-1040, press 2, then follow prompts for tax transcripts. They will arrive shortly 5-7 days.

    The barcode, you use scissors and glue ;) Then mail it off! LOL! Ibrahim needs to sign that form. Has to be his original signature!

    This is the most dangerous time for the relationship I feel. I think they have NO idea how much we sacrifice/stress to get through this process. They do the same, but most of it falls on our shoulders as we still have jobs and getting things ready here for their arrival. Just be patient and think about when they get here....everything will be fine!
