I didnt get any email to pay the IV fee, but went ahead and paid it anyways when I saw the option was available to me. It shows "paid" for me. Im jst waiting for Police certificate frm India for my wife, and then will be sending DS0230 to NVC
 
Thakda are u please able to tell me if u called nvc to see if ur iv bill was generated before u paid,or due you think its safe to pay if the online just changes to not paid from not invoiced?
Thankyou.
 
Received COA and AOS bill

I received Choice of Address and Agent form and Affidavit of Support bill on Saturday Morning thru email.

Hey guys i have question yesterday i called NVC about DS3032 on of the representives told me they tried e-mailing it yesterday but something was wrong with my email and it was not going to through so can you guys tell me another way that i can get DS3032 to be emailed to NVC. Thanks.
 
Hey everybody, how far into the process are you?
We submitted the IV fee yesterday and waiting for the status to change to PAID.

Then, hopefully, we'll submit the DS 230 form with the required documents.

Has anybody gotten through with the NVC process??
 
Paid iv fee,says paid,but parents r having a very hard time getting pcc,theyre running around to get it asap,no chance of submitting it by this week,hopefully sometime soon,if they get pcc,infact they have been trying for more than one month now.

Really Hipaa? Is that India or Pakistan?? I got mine done recently and with the grace of God it took a week... I hope they're doing it right? :s
Ask them to get a contact person to speed up the process. Do they have one?
 
Just an update and some clarifications for everyone:

My AOS fee is paid and my immigrating spouse's DS 3032 is accepted. My AOS fee was paid on Oct 15th by me and the system changed the status to PAID on Oct 18th. My wife scanned and emailed the DS3032 form assigning me as the agent on Oct 20th. She got an acknowledgement email from NVC pretty much within a day and NVC registered me(petitioner) as the agent on Oct 30th. They issued the IV invoice on Nov 2nd and I got an email over that.
I mailed AOS documents on Oct 30th from India and I hope to have NVC receive them sometime this week.

Clarifications:
- I have been getting step by step instructions from NVC and my understanding is you can't do anything unless they email. Sometimes it happens that they have issued your IV invoice and you see that option enabled when you proactively login to their website as there's a bit of delay(almost a day) before the email comes to you. I suggest waiting for the email with clear instructions of Invoice ID to come to you.
- I had spoken to NVC about DS3032 when I had waited for almost 7 business days and they told me it can take that long for them to act upon the scanned and emailed copy of DS3032. Please note they mentioned that email with scanned copy should be coming from the account of the applicant(immigrating spouse). You could always mail a copy of it as well but I feel electronic one works the best even with the delay
- One can send AOS/IV documents as soon as the AOS/IV fee is marked as PAID on the website. NVC does not send any email or communication asking you to send AOS/IV documents. I wasted a few days in confusion before Thakda made that clear and I checked and ended up sending the AOS documents. You just want to make sure you send the Document cover sheet along with the docs. That's very important
- The next step for me is to send DS230 and other documents as soon as the status of my IV bill changes to PAID.

Yes,im sooo bummed,we r from india,im all set withcoverpage and everything they just found out that the application is misplaced they have to start over again the earliest will be one week to ten days!!
 
Hi everyone!

I just joined in, but I have been following your conversation.

I applied for I 130 in June and I checked the USCIS website last night and it said that they approved it and sent me a notice on Nov 1. The whole thing took only 140 days. I am waiting to receive my package from NVC and My notice from USCIS. I'm the us citizen applying for my husbnad. how much do I have to pay for the new package. could you also make your conversation alittle clearer specially regarding what happens after I 130 gets approved, because I was confused when I looked at some of your conversation stating that first you have to pay the fee then submit the documents to nvc??? that's wired!

Hey guys i have a few questions. My first question when your AOS shows up as paid does NVC send you Instructions on what to do next and do they email you a document cover sheet? My second question is that i started working on april 2010 my first job and i have never filed taxes before and my brother is using his income for AOS and i am just confused on which AOS form i should be using and from what i have been searching i think it should be form I-184 and I-1864A? Please HELP some one.
 
Can someone tell me what happens after case is approved in simple words the process? How NVC contact the person in the beginning? what is the meaning of choice of agent? How much time does it take for NVC to reply after case is approved? Thanks,

Hey Syed M,
when you case approved USCIS will send it NVC. I actually called NVC and they gave me my NVC case number and my invoice identification number and i went ahead online and paid my AOS fee. Syed M go ahead and give NVC a call the number is (603-334-0700). NVC replies really fast in just 1 or 2 days.
 
@ noorilove..... thanks a lot for the number I will call them on MONDAY to find out because i was expecting letter from them in 13 to 14 days after approval. so thanks I will definitely call and find out.

really appreciate your help. thanks,
 
Thanks syed finally someone brought up the simplicity of the conversation :)
My next question is for noori, did you pay the fee on nvc website or USCIS website? is it just 88 dollars or is it more?
I will do that 2 on monday!
 
Jazzy when I read your thread, It sound to me like if I pay my fee without waiting for nvc to send the documents, I will end up submiting everything online. Is that a right assumption?
 
alright guys,

So once your I-130 is approved, wait for abt 10 days, and start calling NVC till they have your NVC # available. Tell them to add your and ur spouses email address to ur account. Give abt 12-13 business days after you'r assigned a number to receive an email for DS-3032. Your spouse has to fill out the form, scan it and email it to NVC. This email will also provide you with an Invoice number and website to pay the AOS fee ($88). Go ahead and make the payment right awy online. WHen the payment shows "paid" go ahead and send out the required documents with form I-864 and the cover sheet that u will print online.

Now, in my case, after a few days of sending AOS docs, I checked online and saw that package IV fee was showing "Invoiced" and was active for payment. I didn't wait for any email and went ahead and paid $404 ( package IV fee) . I called them before the payment cleared and the lady said it was ok for me to do that. It's totally up to you if you want to wait till your DS-3032 clears and you receive an email before paying this fee. After package IV payment shows "Paid" , your spouse will submit the DS-0230 with the supporting docs and the cover sheet printed online. Hope everything gets accepted and wait for an interview date...

Hope it helps. Please, add/update any steps that are missing guys. Gluck to everyone!
