Hello VJ friends,

You worried for nothing! Congratulations!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

hehe, you're so right carlish :) Thanks :D

My husband always tells me that I am basket of infinite worries ;) I used to tell him, once our case gets approved at USCIS, I'll feel better. Then when our case got approved, I told him "I'll be relieved once the case gets to NVC, this would mean they didn't lose our file". Then, I told him, "I'll be worry-free when our case gets completed because we'll know that everything is in order"... On, and there were many many many "I'll be happy when..." in between these ;)

:lol: Yep that's me too lol I make my attorney crazy, but gotta say my husband is also as dramatic as me ;)

I have one quick question, how long does it take for the IV bill to be generated after the acceptance of the DS-3032? Our DS-3032 was accepted yesterday. I'm waiting for the IV bill.

It still says "NOT INVOICED." Hopefully it will be generated sometimes today or tomorrow. Thanks.

In my case, I found out from the Rep and AVR that my DS3032 was accepted on Apr8th but I recieved no email confirmation of such or the IV invoice from NVC.

Next day Apr 9th, I found that I could possibly pay the IV bill online. I spoke to the rep and told her that the online was available for me to pay IV bill. She told not to but wait for the email Invoice.

The following day Apr 10th, I received the email invoice for IV. But no sign or email on DS3032 approval from NVC.

Yesterday Apr 13th, my wife received email notification from NVC that DS-3032 was accepted and generated the email Invoice for IV again.

The only caution I advise - wait for the email invoice before paying online. Best of luck!

AVR said "Your case was completed on April 13, 2009. Please allow 8 weeks for further instruction. If it has been 8 weeks and you have not received anything, please press 0." (probably to talk to an operator, I think)

Did you speak to an operator?

I just did now - I couldn't hold out! She said that the package they received on the 8th was the DS-230 and it's under final review. She confirmed I don't have an RFE. It's what I suspected, but the confirmation is nice. Before they just told me that they received a package on the 8th, but did not know what it was. It is nice to know it's progressed.

She did give me the standard response: "Call back in two weeks". I said- no way mam! Tomorrow. Well I didn't. I, unlike Homer, used my inside voice :)

No way that's true... Once AVR confirms they received it, it does go to review. I think you should call back and check again. I am reluctant to believe this operator. Good luck!!!
