Are you sending overnight? I am tired of patient exercise and if I were you I would send it today. Next week will be a short week if you send it out on Tuesday overnight they will get it On wendsday and god knows when it will be in.

Thanks, nimche for the prompt answer! I am literally sitting and waiting for opinions in order to run or not to run to a post office. :huh:

I like your answer! This package is burning my hands and asking me to be sent! :P

The only thing I am worried about are they receiving mailings on Saturday? Afraid that it would be delivery attempt and then it could be lost or something...

Well, Did you follow Loto's instructions? You can send you package and your mail will go somewhere anyway, I am sure with amount of mails they get per day they should have a box somewhere that Post man will drop it off there and someone will sign for it. You can express mail it with USPS and waive the signature part (ask USPS local office) and they will just leave your package in NVC's box.

Even if they don't open mails on Saturdays, they will do it on Tuesday. I don't know, whichever you feel safe and better.

Good Luck

When calling to get the IIN number don't tell them you need it for the website. Read Loto's guide or James Shortcuts...it says specifically there not to tell the NVC that you need it for the website since it is not public, it's technically in beta.

Then what do you say? All I did was ask for it and they didn't give it to me anyway...

Does anyone here have any experience with NVC email and know how long would take them to respond back?

By looking at the spreadsheet, AOS fee bill will be generate 6-8 days after NVC recieves your case, I think I have 5 more days to go + One day extra because of this Labor day (My wife said, whenever gets to us, there is a holiday:D ) So I will go back and sit.

Appreciate if someone can answer my question.

Peace

Can the beneficiary(my wife) fill out DS-230, DS 3032 sign them print out the forms, along with the supported documents and send them to me through DHL, whenever time comes i can just send them to the address? Or will NVC send me these forms for her to fill out? Will it be a problem if she signs them now?

or does she have to sign them when they send them?

help pls.

She can definitely sign them in advance. The only thing that would be mailed directly to her is the DS-3032, which she can have signed and in your hands for you to mail as soon as the AVR says its been sent to her. Assuming she lists you as the agent on that form, everything else would be sent directly to you. Just please note that DS-230 has 2 parts to it...part 1 must be signed prior to it being submitted, but part 2 must NOT be signed, as this is done infront of the consular officer at the interview.

Shpat, don't send to her DS3032 and 230, and also don't wait until DS3032 will came in the mail to her. Just guide her to find these on the interned, let her print it , SIGN , and then mail to you unfilled. You will fill it out when it's time to send in. This what we've done. On the day of approval he printed forms, signed, and maild. I had them in 3 days, and now filled them myself and sending in the order

Best luck!
