Just received an email from NVC entitled "CHECKLIST COVER LETTER" - but this time it's not a false RFE. The body of the "checklist cover letter" reads: "The NVC has received the information you submitted and placed it in your case file. You will be contacted when your petition is sent to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate for further processing." Translation: NVC is indicating that our case is complete and their next email will give us our appointment date & time at the Bangkok Embassy

Thats AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!

Elya has an interview date of August 9 yee hah!!

they need originals and when it gets to NVC, they also need originals. I had to get 2 copies of all and he sent me one for myself.

If you send copies, they will ask for originals and the process is delayed by that much more.

I sent copies and was approved in 4 months at USCIS. I sent originals to NVC.

IV bill shows paid, will send ds230 package tomorrow. It's nice to be moving along. I wish I could help those that aren't moving fast.

Pretty clear... They tried to get him here to use the loophole of AOS. Let's all be honest with each other and call everything what it is. COs are not stupid. You tried to get him here on student visa, get married, and apply for AOS exploring loophole in the law. They caught it and now you have a problem. You need to be upfront for anyone to give you advice. From your timeline it is clear that you applied for visa knowing that you will get married, right? Why student visa then? This is pretty obvious.

I think you are ignorant and rude to make an accusation like that.

The damsel files nothing in Mexico, Brasil, or otherwise, for said USCitizen living in USA.

The USCitizen files to the Chicago LockBox, then later, if the USCitizen won't file said damsel's IV application for her, said damsel must file it herself, via postal mail, to the NVC postal address (in the USA)

OTOH, if you are trying to refer to DCF, Direct Consular Filing of an I-130, chasing after a Visa *that way*, why not say so ?

May be they are refering to the interview.

Got cover letter for Affidavit of Support today. Called to ask about stapling the package. They said yes. Asked about IV bill and she said in about a week. Ate dinner, then checked my email and my IV bill was there! No money for a week though.

I posted this about five minutes ago but I put it in the wrong place

duplicate post in the AOS forum has been removed as this is the correct forum for this discussion.

Why not go to the post office and notify them of the error? Ask to speak to the Postmaster or Postmistress and explain your situation. They will know what employee has that route to deliver. Ask them to instruct that employee (or the sorting department if that is also appropriate) not to list it as undeliverable but ask them if they will 'hold' any mail sent to that address and then notify you so you can go in and pick it up with proper identification. I am not sure if your Post office will do this but some of the smaller Post Offices tend to be more sympathetic to situations like this and may be willing to work 'with you' on this matter. It is at least worth a try. In the meantime, be sure to change your address to the correct address with USCIS.

I agree with you. I've gotten mail with the wrong address and misspelled name!

Has anyone besides myself found that when calling NVC from a Magic Jack you get a busy signal. Skype works fine.

I have found that every attempt to call NVC from my Magic Jack, results in a busy signal. Skype works fine. Just some info to save headaches.

I thought Kazakhstan abolished the Exit Visa law in 2002. My Wife says that the Migration Police are requiring her to get notorized statements from her children, parents and ex-husband, giving her permission to leave Kazakhstan. Has anyone else run across this? Is it legal? Is there any way around it? Does anyone know the specific law that abolished this requirement? I searched google but found no answers. We can get these statements but it would be nice to avoid the extra expense.

Just got ds-3032 email and $88 bill from nvc. ds-3032 email sent and bill paid!

A lot of us are on Facebook...a group developed by Rosy for December filers. It is a much friendlier environment and close friendships are developing. Hope you can come join us.

Could you post a link to Rosy's facebook page?

Called NVC today and got my nvc case # and IIN although it isn't in the automated system yet. I hope the money comes in fast enough to keep up with our progress! We are extremely fortunate for things to be moving so fast. I wish I could do something to help those whose case isn't moving. By the way. Where is everyone? No one has posted in a couple of days. I'm lonely here!

Called NVC today and they said they have our package but it isn't entered into the system yet and to check back on Friday. Some progress is better than none!

Received the NVC's "NOA1 for Petitioners" package in the mail yesterday, containing:

* NVC Case Number

* Affidavit of Support Processing Fee Bill Invoice

* Barcoded DS-3032 form

The online payment system is down for maintenance since 6PM last night, but I'll pay the AOS fee as soon as it comes back up.

We are emailing the DS-3032, but using a variation on the DS-3032 emailing procedure given here:

http://www.visajourn...il_DS-3032_form

Our variation is:

* Petitioner scans the barcoded DS-3032 form and emails it to Beneficiary

* Beneficiary prints, signs and dates the barcoded DS-3032 form and then scans it

* Beneficiary attaches the scanned signed, dated & barcoded DS-3032 form to the email

* Beneficiary adds a line of text to the email noting that the signed, dated and barcoded DS-3032 form is attached.

Thats awsome!! It so nice to hear the sound of progress! Hopefully we will be right on your heels.

Hi Rosy, I am in same boat as you are.I am planning to put congressional inquiry. I heard that involving congressman or senator in your case can end up giving you RFE or denial of petition....is that true...what is your opinion.....what is right step to take in this situation..

I would be patient and wait until 5 months pass before involving a congressman. You will get NOA2 befor you know it!

I would suggest everyone call USCIS and speak to a person.

Sorry elya... It's available again now

Thanks!

Where is the spread sheet for Dec filers? I don't see the link anymore.

Sorry... I can't keep my mouth shut..errrr... I mean my fingers still. Congratulations to all that got NOA2 before us.

I called uscis today and chose the option if you can't remember your receipt #. The person told me that they were working on priority date nov. 16 to wait 41 days to check again. Then 6:58pm I got the text message with the good news. I would suggest everyone call. I am one of the last to file in Dec. I filed Dec 29. Good luck to everyone!

CASE UPDATED...APROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like things are moving faster at CSC. This was a total suprise!

Got my NOA2 today! Woot woot! So excited!

That is freakin' awesome!!!!!!!
