Awwwwwww. What a cutie patootie. :luv: Look at all of that gorgeous dark hair! If you haven't learned it yet, the number one rule is this - sleep when the baby is sleeping. I know I used to run around trying to get things done when my son was sleeping and then he'd wake up and there was no sleep for mom. I must have a slow learning curve because it took me a few weeks to figure out I should sleep when he was otherwise I would get nothing. I'm glad to hear your mom is pitching in.

If your log in hasn't worked for a week, you've probably been approved for a week and they've never updated the AVR. Definitely call and talk to an operator immediately.

Awww, what a beautiful baby! I can only imagine how hard it is to adjust. I'm glad you have your mom to help you out while waiting for Ben to arrive. Thanks for sharing Sofia's pictures. She's really adorable!

As for your case, you should definitely speak to an operator. I bet your case is already complete and the AVR hasn't updated yet.

Don't use the old form. It clearly states on the new edition that "PREVIOUS EDITIONS OBSOLETE" at the bottom of the form. I suggest speak to an operator and let them know about the typos.

Thanks carlish, you always give us so good advices :thumbs:

We'll def do that :yes:

Hope all will go well on the medical :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

I talked to an operator a few minutes ago and it's official - case completed! Yippee!! Honestly, besides the fact that I'm obviously thrilled that we're one step closer to getting my husband here, I think I'm almost as excited that this means I don't have to fill out any more paperwork, pay the post office more money, etc. Hallelujah! lol Most of the rest of the way, my husband gets to do all of the stuff (medical, etc.). Thank God. :lol:

CONGRATULATIONS SomberCat :dance: :dance: :dance:

Yup, yup, we have another one :yes: :yes: :yes:

OMG :dance: :dance: :dance:

Husband just called and e-mailed me the DS-3032 and AOS. He called NVC yesterday and we listened to the same message we've been listening for 9 days. And today he got this e-mail from NVC and he called back NVC to let them know I won't get it because he noticed something was wrong. Guess what? They screwed up my e-mail address :angry: Why not surprised? :whistle:

Anyway, just wanted to share that info with our FFFF's and thank carlish for the good words that always come right on time :)(L)

Also to give some hope to Taj and FEISAL that they'll be getting theirs today too :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Thanks carlish, ur the best, always so nice and helpful to everyone :star: :star: :star::thumbs:

nothing yet in the inbox for us! hopefully by the end of this week! chris and ani, they sent it to the beneficiary's email address?

anyway, i also asked my husband to scan a complete ds3032 with his signature and barcode pasted on it (as per instruction of the ling che shortcut guide) so i can send it as an attachment when i sent in our email. he will also be sending it along with his police clearances and ds 230 within this week so i can add his ds3032 along with my AOS package (thats what i saw carlish do in her timeline =)....)

does anyone think its a good idea for me to scan it and attach in our email? the ds 230?

to chrissy....BEAUTIFUL BABY IN THE HOUSE! CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN...and yes having your mom to help you out is heaven sent!

Do not scan the DS-3032 and send it as an attachment. Just follow this email template:

Re: Declaration of the Choice of Address and Agent for Immigration Visa applicant

To whom it may concern:

My name is XXX and my visa case# is XXX. Per the DS-3032 (Choice of Address and Agent for Immigrant Visa Applicants), I would like to appoint my XXX as my agent of choice to receive all future correspondence from the U.S. Department of State. My XXX's contact information is provided below:

Name: XXX

Address: XXX

Phone: XXX

Email: XXX

All the mails from the U.S. Department of State concerning my immigrant visa application should be sent to the address above.

If you have any questions or concerns on the above matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at +63-929-709-3682 or at the address specified below.

Thank you,

NAME

ADDRESS

CONTACT #

EMAIL ADDRESS

But if you'd rather send the DS-3032 hardcopy, it's better to send the form with husband's original signature than the scanned version.

The same goes for DS-230. This form MUST have your husband's original signature in blue ink.
