Hello Friends

Our case is received by NVC today and they assigned us a case number

Do we provide our emails through an email to NVC Or its better to talk to a live person

which one is more reliable knowing that NVC line is so busy most of the working hours.

Thank you very much

Congrats on getting your case number! Yes, call them and give them both yours and your SO email address. That way you can submit your ds-3032 (choice of agent) and get the ball rolling! If you are not using a lawyer to help you through, you should select your US citizen as the spouse. That way you can pay the fees online and you will get all your notices via email. It'll speed things up quite a bit!

How exciting! Good luck!:thumbs:

Samoray,

157th try was little bit exaggeration. But definitely it has taken 50 to 100 tries in the worst cases.
