    IV BIl twice and different amount + which one to pay

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    My wife has received IV bill on May 7, 2010 for $400 but due to failurs of our own we made our first payment after july 13( i think new fee installed after this date). Our line payment failed, saying in process but the receipt is showing rejected..Then we used money order for IV $400 bill payment.Meanwhile we got new IV payment on August 10,2010 for $404. Which is 4 dollar more than previous. Which one is the right amount we should pay? Do we have to pay the difference or send a new payment afresh. Please i was just an outisder to this fourum but this problem urged me to participate...Please do need your help

    If you send your IV payment for $400 and if they give you SIF and send your documents IV and AOS to Addis Ababa, US embassy. Your wife, she'll be ask to pay the difference at US embassy in Eth Birr or USD.

    Can i send in missing documents to the NVC before getting an RFE?

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    I had sent in my DS230 already without our PCC since many here in India had stated the passport office wont issue a PCC without an RFE/Checklist letter. Even the operator at NVC had stated that.

    Few people on VJ have been able to show the IV bill showing paid in order to get their PCC which has worked.

    My wife has been able to get her local PCC recently by doing this and now will try to get her passport PCC next week.

    My question: Can i send in these PCCs into NVC before receiving the RFE from NVC or do i have to wait?

    I think it's better to wait if you send it now who knows and may be misplaced in the mail or somewhere, it is a better idea if you send it when they request it, so your PCC package will be delivered upon the request. If I were you for peace of mind I just prepare PCC to mail it as well as call the operator request to speak with a supervisor and discuss your situation and ask for advice. If you're really want to cut down the time waiting. Good luck!!!good.gif

    Thanks for sharing the experience with us S&ET and congrats on the approval. Is the embassy starting to deliver passports instead of asking the person to comeback and pick it up? This sounds very new to me

    Thank you very much.

    Yes, the embassy's is change, it's all a new. The embassy its really really busy so they want to make it more convenience because they have a lot of immigrant visa with DV and adoption family and other diplomat and visitors visa it is really busy

    For you to come to pick up just a passport it is just to a un-convenience so they making more convenience for you so you can pick up your passport on your neighborhood Bank of Abyssinia branch Ethiopian bank. Which is very convenience you can tell them to any Bank of Abyssinia branch bank close to your neighborhood and they'll deliver it to you, but you have to pay Ethiopian 50 Birr for service.

    US embassy it's has a brand new embassy buildings and a brand new way of doing business. U.S. embassy in Ethiopia is the busiest embassy in Sub-Saharan Africa. They'll complete their brand new buildings soon. When they move to the new building hope their service will be faster and less waiting and will be convenience.

    read from US embassy in Addis

    "After The Interview

    If the visa application is approved, you must arrange for delivery of your passport with the visa, as well as your Immigrant Visa document packet, directly with the Bank of Abyssinia agent located at the Embassy entrance. Bank of Abyssinia will deliver the passport, visa, and immigrant visa packet to any branch of Bank of Abyssinia in Addis Ababa. Bank of Abyssinia collects a service fee of 50 Ethiopian birr per passport for this service. You may then pick up your passport and visa from your selected Bank of Abyssinia branch at your convenience.

    Congratulations, si man -- and thanks for such a literate, complete review that will certainly prove to be of value to others who will go through Addis.

    Thank you very much and I try to share my experience as much as I can unfortunately there's not many Ethiopian embassy experience here on VJ and so this will try to encourage others to use this experience. On the other side the embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which is US embassy it's has a brand new embassy buildings and a brand new way of doing business. U.S. embassy in Ethiopia is the busiest embassy in Sub-Saharan Africa. They'll complete their brand new buildings soon. When they move to the new building I hope their service will be faster and less waiting and will be convenience.

    Thank you for comment I really appreciate it
