Again about emailing DS-3032

[vny 0]

Hi All,

New to this forum (i.e., first post), but been reading some very useful information. Thank you all for your inputs.

Anyway, I know this has been discussed before, but maybe this has a little twist to it.

Well, we have already been approved and paid the AOS bill and filed AOS. We received notice of NVC sending out the DS-3032 package around 3/11/09 and I received in the mail on 3/14/09. My wife in Japan still hasn't received the package yet. But I read in the forum that you can email it in, so I had her email from one of the templates here on the forum on 3/12/09. She followed all the instructions about the information that needs to be included. She got automated response of receipt, but we still haven't received acceptance of the DS-3032.

So today, I called NVC and the operator told me that they need a "signed in ink" version and that the instructions in the package is clear. Well, so it is a good thing I had a signed copy, so I went and mailed one today.

Does anyone have any more info on their attempts to email DS-3032?

We have already filled out the DS-230 we are just waiting for the time to mail it in.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks again for all your posts here. The information has really been helpful.

Aloha,

Hi,

I sent my DS-3032 through mail and email. First, I filled out and signed the DS-3032 form that they sent me (the form included the bar code), then scanned it and sent through email. I then mailed the filled-out copy just to make sure they will receive it. i forgot to include our birth dates in my first email so i sent another email with our birthdays on it. That's where I got the response, so make sure you include the case number; names and dates of birth of petitioner and beneficiary.

I emailed it on March 13, got an automated response of receipt right away, then received the acceptance notice today (March 25). Here is how it looks:

"Good day,

Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC).

The NVC has received the Agent of Choice selection. The Immigrant Visa Application (DS 230) processing fee bill will be sent to the designated agent on the case. The fee must be paid according to the instructions before the instruction packet will be sent.

Mahalo for your response and........

Hey whaddaya know. Just got back email response accepting the emailed DS-3032 (3/25). And I just mailed a hard copy yesterday. Wasted a stamp, but what the heck, the arm and the leg is gone already or will be soon. IV bill paid and just waiting for instructions now.

I guess the emailing for DS-3032 works. Just have to remember that "patience IS a virtue". Unfortunately, I wasn't blessed with that one.

And another lesson learned......the NVC operators don't know everything!!!

Thanks again,
