SHEEEEEESH!!! SO FRUSTRATED HERE!!!!

OH YES WE DOOOOO!!!!!! IT'S GREEN. IT'S HALF A PAGE. IT'S CALLED AN NBI CLEARANCE IN THE PHILIPPINES. WHO THE HECK IS WORKING ON MY CASE?? HOW CAN THEY NOT KNOW THAT?? THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF FILIPINOS HAVE SENT IN PETITIONS TO NVC WITH ONLY AN NBI CLEARANCE BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME THING AS THE POLICE CLEARANCE HAD THEIR CASES COMPLETED JUST FINE.. AND NOW THIS??!!!

Hi Jen!!! M sorry to hear about the NBI Clearance. Yes, some people used it & it worked. I'm actually thinking of sending both police clearance and NBI clearance. I got my police clearance last week and it looked like the NBI too. I paid Php400 - for visa application purpose (they asked if its for embassy, work, business, etc.) plus P125 for electronic something. Its white and has your picture (colored, they will get it on the spot) and thumbmark on it.

Also, can i clarify re DS-3032?? My husband didnt get the copy of DS-3032 yet. Can i email NVC the Choice of Agent now and will just send them the Original DS-3032 once it gets to me????

Please help. Thanks!!!

Raja, both of us are waiting for that DANG IIN, lol!!! The operator said we have to give them time - I hope it won't take a month for them to release it!!!

you know... i called 5 operators today and even talked to a supervisor and they won't give it to me... the supervisor said that anyone gets the number is doing it wrong and should wait.... i asked why is that? he said "everyone else has to" my reply was "noooo they don't not if they can get it from you"

Yeaaahhh that didn't help at all.

oh they said they sent it (the papers) out yesterday

Here's my tip of the day:

I was calling like crazy and asking for the 'IIN' number ,,,no one knew what I was talking about. The first time I changed my wording to 'Could you give me the 'invoice' number?' they give it right up.

Couldn't hurt to try, right? It worked for me last night.

Calling NVC operators, we need our IIN now!!! Huhu!!!

Thanks for the tip Jackie!!! I'll call them again Monday and do what u did.

An answer to my question...anyone??

I emailed he DS3023 on the 2ndof sept when they said they have issued the ds3023 and aos bill... but didn't get an automated response did it again sept 6th got one immediatly. Called the AVR today and it said they sent both documents sept 4th.

I just sent it from an email account of his. YOu're welcome to email then snail mail it... some are saying it takes 2-3 weeks for the email to be input in the system and less time for the hard copy once they recieve it. Some are also saying it takes only a week. Either way get something going is my suggestion Sassygirl.

P.S. I submitted a request from my congressman regarding our change of consulates... hoping if they put a little pressure it will happen sooner than later we'll see...

Thank you soooo much Raja!!!!! I will email them later. I'm sure they have issued the ds3023 and aos bill alrdy (we received our approval last week of August). Hmmm, wonder how long til i get my hardcopy. I do have to wait for the hardcopy, right, to snail mail it to them?? Or could i download one and send it to them rightaway?

Thank you, thank you!!! Patience is not my strong point and it makes me go crazy when i can't control anything that goes on around me, plus we are very scared to get another RFE!!! LOL

I am with you Sassy i am not the most patient person either but this certainly has taught me to be more lol... anyway, yes send them in!! i got an automatic response via his gmail account so you might want to set one up for him. I heard yahoo takes longer just an FYI for your DS3023

you can download and send in the hardcopy if you like don't wait for it to show up in your box... also call and try TRY to get your INN number so you can pay your bill online you'll save yourself weeks doing this..

Good luck and we're always here to help

Yes patience is a virtue indeed LOL!!! I'm happy that i have my work to keep me occupied or i would have gone crazy waiting...& waiting...& waiting!

I just downloaded the DS3032 but it says on the top PLACE CASE BARCODE STRIP HERE BEFORE MAILING TO THE NATIONAL VISA CENTER...what is that barcode?? Where will i get it?

Thank you Rajaa!!! Mmmuah!!!!

[nunyab 0]

you can make your own bar code (see james' short cuts) I just emailed mine. On Saturday again and finally got the automated response that they got it..

Remeber to my husband cannot leave until December when his employment contract ends so even though it takes 2-3 weeks for them to read the email I am not too overly concerned I just like things to be done with.. you know?

Anyway, goodluck! getting ready to leave for work now

You do not need the hard copy. You can just send the e-mail. Then you do not need to make any barcodes.

We received the hard copy about a week after our Choice of Agent was accepted. It took about 10 days for them to accept our Choice of agent.

Thank you Steve y Jessica! I sent the email yday thru nvcinquiry@state.gov using my gmail acct. & i called nvc today, they said they alrdy mailed the AOS bill last week. I'm just wondering, where should i check if they got my email? I also asked them if i can get my Invoice Number but she said i should just wait for my IIN to be delivered coz the online account are having problems. Is this true??!

Rajaa, i hope all these processes are done before December. It will be great to start the new year with our husbands.

[nunyab 0]

I agree!! I told my husband it is time he came home...lol

I recieved my hard copy ds3023 and AOS fee bill yesterday in the mail. Sassy you should get an automated response within 24 hours i would think... stating from the NVC that they've recieved your email...
