How come no one sends the DS 3032 via email as an attachment?

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

Looking at everyone's timelines for those who have gotten approved and recieved cases in approx. the last 2 months, there seems to be a trend emerging from USCIS and NVC.

Seems like a batch of approvals from USCIS gets pushed out on Fridays and the petitioner gets notified the following week, while the hardcopy takes about a week to be delivered to the person.

Then, it looks like NVC gets the cases in about 2 weeks from the notification date by USCIS.

It's only my observation based on VJ members timelines, so don't take this "trend" at face value.

Just want to give those who haven't received their approvals yet some hope :-)

Also, I am not an expert on statistics.

My NOA2 says wait about 90 days for NVC. Of course, which one of us is going to do that here? So I've been calling the automated NVC number with my WAC # since yesterday. Still nothing. I figure based on the "trend" that I noticed, I'll give it about 14 days (next Friday, since my NOA2 was approved last Friday) before I start holding for a real live person from NVC.

In the meantime, I've emailed the DS-3032 PDF to my wife so she can print it out, sign it and mail it to me, so I can have it here, and mail it to the NVC when I get that "NVC received my package" notification, at which time my wife will email her Choice of Agent as well, while I send them the hardcopy DS-3032 (which I hope I will receive from Bangladesh in 10 to 14 days with her signature).

My wife should also be posting and checking out forums through our username here, but lucky her.... the internet at her house just died for an undetermined length of time :-(

:ot:

Also.... I noticed something else. The current US / World economic situation has decreased the # of other visa applications that the NVC has to process (like work/student/visiting/etc.), so I think the NVC is getting to these immigrant visas quicker. At least thats my opinion. But things like the economic stimulus plans that makes it harder for US companies to apply for and get work visas for foreignors, which I think has cut down the NVC's burden a lot this year, while at the same time, more USCIS and NVC (the guys from Burger King or McDonalds) were hired this past year (Fiscal Year 2009, we're in FY 2010 right now).

If you have nothing to do on a Friday night, read this interesting article on on decline of h-1B Visa:

http://blogs.ilw.com/h1bvisablog/2009/07/h...thing-more.html

So... I am just saying all that to give our processing wait times some hope. I hope all this makes sense. Feel free to add/disagree.

Everyone keep your head up. Its all happening, but there are clogs and glitches (like with everything else in the beuracratic process).
