Case complete email and AVR update
So, yesterday morning, NVC Electronic sent both Ben and I an email saying they've received everything needed at NVC and that our case was complete. Yay, it was official!
And then today when I called up the AVR, it finally changed to reflect our case complete: "Your case was completed on March 10th, 2011. Please allow 8 weeks from this date for further instructions."
Now to just wait for an interview date to be assigned to us. It's currently about 2 months from CC to interview for Montreal. As soon as I get my interview date, I'm going to have to make an appointment for the medical! Not too excited about that since there's a blood test involved. Oh well.

AVR update and NVC email
As soon as I got up today, I called up the AVR and was surprised to hear it was updated again. The new message: "NVC has received the immigrant visa fee bill on February 7th, 2011 and will send further instructions within the next few weeks."
About 30 minutes ago, Ben and I both received an email from NVC with instructions about the NVC. To see screenshots, go here: http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/smurf47/Immigration/NVC%20DS-230%20email/
Oh, and last night I was on the VJ forums and saw that someone else from Canada who did EP and filled out the online forms got a case complete in 25 days!! Wow.
Also, Ben has booked a flight to come here to Canada for March 4 and leaving on the 8th. Can't wait!

Screenshots
I created a new album on Photobucket called immigration. I then moved the DS-261 screenshots album into that album, so the link will be different. The new link is: http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/smurf47/Immigration/DS-261%20screenshots/
I also created another sub-album called Payment Portal screenshots which you can find here: http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/smurf47/Immigration/Payment%20portal%20screenshots/ So far I have two screenshots, one showing where you see and pay bills, the other showing where you can see and fill out the online forms. I'll most likely add another one to show what it looks like when a bill is looked at in a few minutes.
If you want to just see the general Immigration album, it's here: http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/smurf47/Immigration/ From there, you can choose the sub-albums.
I'm planning on uploading a copy of the correspondence I got from NVC as well soon, so keep an eye open for that too.
If there's anything else you want a screenshot of, please leave a comment and I'll do it.

EDIT: I uploaded the screenshots of the receipt page in the payment portal sub-album. I also uploaded the 4 page document I received last Friday. You can view this at the sub-album NVC information email here: http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/smurf47/Immigration/NVC%20information%20email/

Mail and AVR update
*Reference link to abbreviations/terms post*
So, sometime yesterday night, both Ben and I received mail from NVC. Attached was a 4-page document giving information about NVC and had our case number, IIN, and beneficiary ID number. The last two pages was the DS-3032 form (expired by the way). Sorry, NVC, but we're way ahead of you, thanks though :P
Also, about half an hour ago, I decided to call up the AVR. I was expecting the same message that it had before: "Your case was entered into NVC's computer system on February 1st, 2011. The case number assigned by the NVC for this case is XXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Please allow 6-8 weeks from this date for: the beneficiary to receive notification." But when I called, that's not the message I heard!
Instead, it talked about the DS-3032. I had to repeat the message since I didn't hear it the first time from excitement. The message: "NVC received the DS-3032 Choice of Agent and Address form on February 5th, 2011. Please allow 4-6 weeks for processing before you will be notified by the NVC." So looks like they received the DS-261 that I sent in on February 3rd.
They should now invoice us for the IV bill on Monday or Tuesday. If only they could do it on the weekend...
