Hi, TayRivers. It is very nice of you that you post the steps.

I just want to ask what's the difference between the DS3032 template form and the DS 3032 pdf form from the state.gov site? If i understand it right, i can just email to NVC the DS 3230 like the tempate, am i right?

Thanks

Yes you can use the template that I gave the link to or you can use the PDF file from state.gov and just attach it to the email. If you are using the PDF just make sure to list all the info needed in the email text, see the NVC shortcuts in the wiki for full email instructions.

No, pay the bill. Wait for it to clear. Print out the barcoded cover sheet. And send in your DS230 package. No need to wait for NVC to send you any thing.

The email sent by NVC is sufficient.

Thank you Tay Rivers for the reply and also for posting all the details.

Why do we have to send Original Documents along with DS-230 as per this post? If we send them Original certificates will they mail us back the originals. As i read in this forum that parents have to take all Originals to the Consulate when they appear for interview. Please clarify.

Thanks Raj

NVC require the originals, they will not accept photocopies, If you read the instruction that will come with all the forms it clearly states you must send original documents.

You send the originals to NVC and they forward them along with the case papers to the Consulate for interview. All the originals will be returned to your parent at the interview.

Thanks,

Raj

New Update: I just mailed today my mom's RFE to USCIS-CSC. And came in the mail too was my dad's AOS Fee Bill InVoice that comes with payment instructions online and a DS3032. Should i start paying online for my dad's AOS? And eventhough I received this DS3032 form, can i still email them the DS3032 and opt for electronic processing? I am planning to wait for my mom's approval before I start my dad's AOS & DS3032, is that possible? Besides, I save $70, I wanted that both cases are processed together..help!

You do not need to take action on your dad's case right now. You can wait for the approval of your mothers I-130 and then do all the paperwork for NVC at the same time.

No harm will be done to your dad's case by waiting, the case can stay at NVC for 12 months before they would return it to USCIS because of no action.

Thanks Tay! You just made my day brighter :yes:

Hi TayRivers,

I just called NVC and the automated system gave me my Dad's case no with the message "your case was entered September 1, 2009....", just put in NVC system yesterday.

Do I E-mai in the DS-3032 now or do I have to wait a bit longer, etc?

Please advise. Thanks.

You need to call back NVC and talk to the operator, press 1 then 5. You need to give her your email address and a email address for your parents, (if they dont have a email, then get them one, gmail works fine) Once NVC have the email addresses they will email you the information for the next step. If you do not give them a email address they will send out the instructions by snail mail and that will delay your case at NVC.

Did you give your email addresses to NVC? if you did then you should have the instructions for the I-864 and DS3032. If you did not then call them today and give them the email addresses and ask for the information to be sent by email..

It took 5 days for me to get the email.. you could email the DS3032 template if you want by the time they get round to accepting the email you should have got the email..

I used 1 email address for both my parents. NVC did not have any problem with that. I also send the DS3032 from my email address using the template available here on VJ.

Tay, do we need to provide one email id for both parents or separate email ids for each parent. Please let me know. Thanks, Raj

Hi Tay,

Similar to mooninlove, I just received e-mail regarding RFE for my Mom's case. Don't know what RFE is about.

Mooninlove, would you please help let me know what RFE was required for your mom because I believed I fell into the same situation as yours?

I would like to get idea for that RFE to ask my mom for info/document/evidence in advance before the actual mail arrives.

Thank you very much.

Tay, do you send DS-3032 only after you received the e-mail from USCIS, or you can do it earlier? If yes, how earlier?

once you have the case number, you could email the DS3032.

If I remember correctly mooninlove got a RFE because of something on her mothers birth certificate. sorry to hear that you got a RFE all I can say is dont panic, once you get the letter you will be able to sort thing out and be right back on track quickly.
