Success!

I was able to access and submit the Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application about eight hours after receiving our numbers from the NVC.  Now we are waiting for our pdf copy of the adoption approval letter from them.  Huge step in the right direction!


New Thing in the Process

A few months ago there was a change to the Article V process.  With the Little Princesses (about this time last year)  we forwarded the pdf of our approval from the NVC to our agency, and they took care of the rest.  This time it isn't that easy!

Our agency sent us seven pages of typewritten instructions to complete this new step.  We received our NVC information this morning so I can fill out our "Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application" (DS-260)  I've been hearing stories from online friends about how hard this form is, and how many hours they spent on it.   It begins with having to log in with the various case numbers.

So, this morning I received our numbers from the NVC, and am attempting to get into the form.   Even though I have the numbers, until the website is updated to include our information it won't let me access the form.  Some have waited hours, some have waited days!  So if you need me today, I'll be right here, clicking reload!
