Doing my DS-260 now

"Do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with U.S. law? "

Should I answer yes or no? Because Yes, I do have it, but the disclaimer reads: Please note that should you answer Yes to any of the following questions, you may be requested to provide documentation to support your explanation.

If I click "No" a drop down box opens up and simply says "Explain" ... so I feel like I should say "Yes", since they'll be looking at my immunization record at the medical.

Went with "Yes" since I'll be providing my history of vaccinations at a later date. All in all, DS-260 wasn't too bad. It asks for your passport number, only the latest visa you have been issued (B2 for me.) Nothing else was too weird.

However, during the process I discovered I've misplaced my passport in my maiden name, chock full of entry/visa stamps. ####.

So you emailed your ds-3032 on 3/7/12

I emailed mine on 3/8/12.

Hopefully i will get my acceptance email tonight or on Monday? I hate weekend cuz NVC is closed

Yup, more than likely you will get an acceptance on Monday. I think that they reply to such e-mails in the order received. So you're next. Enjoy your weekend

Saylin,

My attorney tells me we are filing the combined AOS and IV package today. Not really sure I believe that... but I am at the mercy of what I am told.

Do you want to add this date to your xls - or wait until I can confirm with the NVC next week they received it?

Secondary thought - as it now has the cover letter and barcode, I guess the system will know fairly quickly if something has been received so I wont be waiting days and days.... ?

Thanks!

Phil.

this means that after NVC approved their AOS and IV it took 1.5 months to schedule the interview?

No, it means that when the interview was scheduled (when they received the appointment letter), the date picked by NVC was 1.5 months later. Look at my signature for example: my actual interview date (March 27) is 2 months after the scheduling was done by NVC (Jan 30).

The timeframe inside NVC mostly depends on you. Once the NVC has both your packages, it doesn't take them very long to complete your case, usually a week or so. Then you have to wait again until they schedule the interview. Timeframe unknown because it varies a lot.

Another Question.what did you write on Q.#29. N/A or NONE?

I typed NONE under name, place of birth, and address.

and i wrote NONE under date.

Yup, more than likely you will get an acceptance on Monday. I think that they reply to such e-mails in the order received. So you're next. Enjoy your weekend

Yayyyyy ! :dance: :dance: :dance:

We just got the DS-3032 Acceptance email. It was only sent to the Beneficiary's email address. I thought the petitioner would be cc'd in the email because the beneficiary cc'd petitioner in the initial email.

It doesn't have the wordings like "DS-3032 has been ACCEPTED" ! but it just a plain email letter (see below). Hope this is the "DS-3032 Acceptance email that everyone is talking about
