I-130 Progress list

[comembot0120 1]

Yes you can paste it as i did the same for my parents. Once you receive emails from NVC about DS3032 and AOS fee, first send the DS3032 via email and you can use the below template and then you can snail mail the one you got from your parents. I did the same.

Good Luck! Thanks, Raj

Thank you, Raj.... You're such a BIG help! I really appreciate it

What time did you call yesterday? I just called them today (9:50am PST) and they still haven't received mine. =(

I called them at 5:10PM (PST). Luckily, I was transferred to an Agent after I press #5. I usually gets a busy signal. Good Luck. They should have it by now. We have the exact dates!

Thanks! Did you have to give them your e-mail address as well or just your mom's?

I agree - Raj is awesome! Raj, I hope you'd still be around even after you're done with all your immigration stuff. =)

Call them daily until your case is assigned numbers.

Good Luck! Thanks, Raj

I just got off the phone with NVC and case number has already been assigned! I also registered my parents' email addresses. Now, do I just have to wait for NVC to send them an e-mail regarding the DS3032? Thanks again.

You'll get a 'ds-3032 kit' in yer email.

it contains:

1. pdf ds-3032 file

2. barcode info

3. payment notice for the AOS fee, and info on the online electronic payment portal.

I strongly suggest you sign up for the online electronic payment portal, and pay the AOS fee immediately.

Then - come back to that portal in 2 days, print the paid reciept for AOS.

Then mail off the I-864 set with the barcode page and the receipt.

Keep monitoring the online payment portal - it updates at 3:10 PM and 10:10 PM EST each day - the IV set will be the 2nd thing.

At some point, get the DS-3032 prepped and sent out.

Thanks Darnell! So I don't need to send an e-mail regarding the Choice of Agent until I receive an email from NVC, correct?

There's all kinds o confusion about the DS-3032.

I suggest you don't send in the DS-3032 until you've received the DS-3032 kit in yer email.

If you did not receive the DS-3032 kit overnight - then something wasn't ready yet. I suggest you wait a week, call back to NVC, and give the email addresses again. Usually the IIN takes some time to get generated, so if you had been calling NVC, and not have any 'luck', but then 'yesterday' you had some luck - I suggest the IIN isn't generated yet

Here is the document that i used...

Tips for NVC

Once you know that the I-130 have been sent to the NVC you can start calling them, I did this every day until I got the case number.

NVC phone number 603-334-0700

You need to speak to a officer so skip the automated service by pressing 1 then 5 after you get through.

Once you have the case number you need to give the operator the email addresses for you and your parents.

Wait till you get an email then ..Next you need to email the NVC the DS-3230 choice of agent. Use this template for the email.

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Email_DS-3032_form

DS-3032

http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/80023.pdf

Next you will get a email from the NVC telling you the petitioner that you need to pay the AOS fee bill it will give you the link to the NVC payment site where you will pay the fee using a credit card or debit card.

You only need to pay $70.00 once as both your parents cases are linked and they only charge once.

Once that is paid you will print out a barcode coversheet from the payment site for each parent you will need to attach one to each AOS packet that you have made for each parent

Once the AOS is paid and you have printed the Barcode coversheet, you need to download the I-864 and complete attatch all the documents required and then mail it to NVC. The full instructions on what you need to do are on the NVC payment site on the right hand side of the page, just click the link.

It can take two weeks + before the DS-3032 is entered into the NVC system. Use the time to gather together all the paperwork for the DS-230 so that once the DS-3032 has been accepted you can pay the IV Bill and then mail the DS-230

I-864 – AOS Packet

See the link below for full details of what you need to send with the I-864

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

You will receive another email telling you that the DS-3032 has been accepted and telling you that the DS-230 IV fee bill should now be paid. $400.00 each parent. You will go back to the NVC payment site to do this.

DS-230

http://travel.state.gov/pdf/DS-0230.pdf

Again once it shows as paid you will print out another barcode coversheet to include with the DS-230 for each parent. You will need to include Originals of the following documents for each parent.

BIRTH CERTIFICATES

ADOPTION PAPERS

MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE

MARRIAGE TERMINATION (DIVORCE)

COURT RECORDS

MILITARY RECORDS

POLICE CERTIFICATE

2 PHOTOGRAPHS

Beneficiaries Photocopy of Valid Passport Biographic Data Page

PETITIONER MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE FOR ALL MARRIAGES

PETITIONER BIRTH CERTIFICATE

Once all the paperwork has been received at NVC they will review your parents cases this can take anything from a few days to a few weeks.

Once the review is complete then you will get a email telling you that the case is complete and has been forwarded to the embassy in your parents country.

You will also get a interview letter telling you the date of the interview and a link to the Embassy website with instructions on how to get the medical done and instructions for the interview.

What you need to do is, you send one complete set of original documents with the Barcode coversheet of one parent and then for the other parent you have to attach to their Barcode Copversheet a photocopy of the original document and write on it "Original Held In Case # LND2009****** " You must do that for every document that is not the original.

Also when you come to paying the AOS Fee Bill you only need to pay this once, when you go on-line to pay it you will see that it says "includes another case" and it will link to other parent's case so that you can print out the Barcode Coversheet for them both.

Once NVC get the DS230 they review all the paperwork and once this is done the case is then complete and you will get a interview date and the case paperwork will be forwarded to the embassy. You will then get a email with the interview instructions and instructions for the medical.

Good Luck! Thanks, Raj

Thanks Raj for the write up. My I-130 hasn’t been approved yet, but I am trying to make sure that I have all paperwork ready to go. If we submit the original Birth Cert, Marriage Cert – do we get it back at some point? Is it returned to us after the interview?

Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can ask/request for the orginal documents back.

USUALLY - if you ask for it, at the INTERVIEW, on INTERVIEW DAY, then yes.

If you remember, you were to submit the original plus a copy during NVC processing.
