Yes, just use the USCIS Receipt Number in the IVR or when talking to an operator.

I would suggest you call until you get your NVC Case Number and then give them both of your e-mail addresses so you can get all communications via e-mail.

Hi, philmae83 and jo2010, When the USCIS approved my petition my husband and I received an email that they approved my petition and 1 week after I got approved my husband received the NOA2 hard copy, we count almost 1 week before the NVC received my case and gave the case#.

Give the NVC a 1 week to get your case#... by the way I called the NVC to get my case# but until now we haven't receive any letter from them. The operator already gat our email address and they told me that they will send the docs thru email. Hopefully next week we received already the AOS bill and ds3032. Let me know if you already get the docs from NVC. Hope we can help each other to this journey. God bless us.

Yes, my name is Robert but I never use that as it's just too formal sounding.

I'm not sure how much info I can give as we're just a few weeks ahead of you in the process...

As you can see from our timelines it was 8 days for my wife & 7 days for our son to show as case received by NVC and have a case number.

Also note that it was 13 days to get the AOS Fee Bill & DS-3032 for my wife via US Mail but only 4 days for our son via e-mail. The difference baing that I had called NVC the day he had a case number there and gave them our e-mail addresses BEFORE THEY GENERATED his AOS Fee Bill & DS-3032 so they were able to e-mail it all to us instead of print & mail it.

Now it has taken 8 days for them to accept her DS-3032 via e-mail and we are expecting our son's to be accepted ether today or tomorrow as they were e-mailed close together. Note that when e-mailing the DS-3032 the short note included in the outdated shortcuts doesn't work anymore. You must fill-out and sign the DS-3032 that is sent to you and then scan it and attach it to the e-mail then follow the provided instructions (put NVC Case number in subject line, Petitioner's name & birthdate and Beneficearies name & birthdate in the message body with note stating that your DS-3032 is attached).

When I sent the AOS (I-864) Packets to NVC I sent the package UPS Next Day Air. NVC's system showed "Mail Received on the case" 2 days after UPS showed it was delivered.

Once they have received the DS-3032, NVC will generate the IV Fee Bill.

The best shortcuts (in my opinion) are:

1. Call NVC starting at 5 days after NOA2 Date to get NVC Case Number.

2. Once you have NVC Case Number, speak to an NVC Operator and give them both party's e-mail addresses.

3. Use Express delivery services (not US Post Office) for return of Document Packages (AOS I-864 & DS-230).

4. Have the documents (AOS I-864 & DS-230 Packages) ready to that when the coversheets are generated you can send them right away.

I've read on VJ that members have been able to get the SLMEC Medical Exams by just showing a copy of thier NOA2. I'm going to suggest to my wife, Anna, that she & our son try that before the end of the month as it would cut some time off the wait for her interview.

The wait times now are so much shorter but really more agonizing because we're so close that we can actually imagine the day she will land in Chicago. She has days where I think she'll go crazy from the wait but this is how the US Gov't works: Hurry up and wait...

You also put the bar code at ds3032 before you scan?
