NVC + Sue IP

I am guessing that phase 1 approval is the completion of review by the service centre (?). The paperwork is then passed onto the NVC who process it next. The visa fee bill is then requested ( about 4-6 weeks after you are entered into the NVC system ), once this is received by the NVC they will then generate packet 3, which contains the DS230 and some other papers. This is then reviewed by the NVC, once this is complete ( in my case 7 days ), the papers are then sent to whatever consulate you chose. Depending on what consulate you are using, there is now a wait for an interview ( in my case 60-90 days), I am waiting to receive packet 4, which contains info about police clearances, medicals etc.

Just as an idea of time- my case was created by the NVC on Nov 2 2004, completed on March 16 2005, sent to Sydney on Mar 22 ( and is still enroute!)

Hope this has been of some use to you! :coollook:

PS forgot to mention- once you have a case number from the NVC you are able to call the automated ph number, this will tell you where you are in the processing situation. :)

Congrats Wendy :balloons: I am so chuffed for you :)

Get that bottle open!!!!

I am waiting for them to request my DS230...so goodness knows when I will be out there!!! :rolleyes:

RNkiwi · Apr 22, 2005

The bottle is well and truly open!

Forgot to mention, the cost of the visa has risen also- now $380 USD each, $45 increase.

I have my fingers crossed that things go smoothly for you Sue- for me once DS230 was requested it was only a matter of weeks for approval.

Time for another wine! :)

My visa fee bill was paid in Jan-$335, got a letter from my attorney saying I had to pay another $45 when i go for interview, as fees are now $380 per person. As if it doesn't cost enough already! :rolleyes:
