Hi guys...our petition was approved on 4/20 and forwarded to NVC...well they generated the DS 3032 and AOS bill on 5/6, and my husband sent them an e-mail requesting the Choice of Agent to be me on 5/12...we STILL haven't received word yet that it's been accepted! :angry: I asked an NVC rep a couple of days ago what the problem was, and she confirmed that they had received it, but that it would just have to be processed in the order it was received! I'm wondering if it would have been quicker to just mail it in! :blink: I paid the AOS fee online 2day so...we'll see how that goes. Good luck to everyone on this wacky, stressful journey! :star:
