More NVC Questions

[Ashley_Armando 1]

I just got my NOA2 notice today. It said something about how you should allow at least 90 days to contact NVC if the beneficiary has not received any correspondence yet. What does this mean??

This is my understanding of NVC for the beginning. Please correct me if needed.

Get Case Number.

They should have the USCIS number in their system 1-2 weeks after USCIS approval. Continue calling NVC to check. When system recognizes case number, talk to a human representative and get NVC case number. Give USC and Beneficiary emails to representative.

DS-3032.

Then you need to email the DS-3032 to the NVC. (Also how does that work with a "barcode strip" needing to be placed on the top of both USC and Beneficiary pages...rather, how do you obtain that?) OR are you supposed to email the DS-3032 after they have contacted the beneficiary? (And how do they contact the beneficiary--email or mail?)

Then you move on to paying the AOS and IV Bills and sending in those packages.

Thanks for all your advice and answers!

Yes, you understand the process correctly. They are just covering themselves with the "allow for 90 days" bit.

The key to navigating NVC is to be proactive. Good luck!

I'm wondering about the barcode as well. How do we receive it?

[CanadaLove 16]

The barcoded sheet you need is available after you pay the fees at the NVC payment portal. Print it out and then mail it in (or scan it in if you're doing electronic processing) with the proper packet (AOS barcode with AOS documentation; IV barcode with visa application).

What I was refering to is the place on the top of the DS3032 that says place barcode strip here. What's up with this??

If you don't get any RFE's (which I hope you don't) then you can get out of NVC in two more weeks or so- it took 20 days for my case to be completed so don't worry! I think you will be together for your anniversary! NVC is quick.

The beneficiary has to do the DS3032 from thier email and my husband just used the template with the subject line as the NVC case number and choice of agent he received an email the next day or so confirming and then sending all the documents to my email account...we then paid all the fees etc and just express mailed our documents...

If you don't get any RFE's (which I hope you don't) then you can get out of NVC in two more weeks or so- it took 20 days for my case to be completed so don't worry! I think you will be together for your anniversary! NVC is quick.

Yeah I hope your right...we are hoping for a june or july interview with AP not lasting too long he's from one of the countries that almost always puts men in ap...2 weeks to months and months ;(

Soba, why don't you just use the template as referenced above? Just copy and paste it into your email to NVC and then fill in the appropriate information.
