DS-3032 slowdown?

[gina_raluca 14]

Hi, IV bill also took 2 days to show PAID. Haven't sent the Affd of Support/I864, been working on that. also actually need to find out if I can scan and email all the docs in that or should i send through regular mail. Need some input from the other members regd that.. but i think we should do it both ways.

My understanding is that only a limited number of countries can scan their documents. I think Canada and China are two of them. I hope I am not wrong, but I dont think that India has electronic processing.

You cannot email other docs into NVC, your 'country' does not participate in NVC Electronic Processing. This topic was specific to DS-3032, please do not post other bits here that are NOT DS-3032 specific. Thanks in advance ! (I'm trying to keep the 'noise' down here, there are other topics specific to yer other bits, please use those, instead. )

Darnell, I had sent in my DS-3032 via email using the VJ template on APR 5th. I got a email back from NVC on APR 8th that they received it. I've called them twice so far and they haven't yet processed it!!! So is this b/c of the slowdown you're observing? Here's a snippet of the mail I recieved from 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."

deepdawg - if it's been officially tagged as 'received' - then, as a consequence, the IV fee bill will be available TO BE PAID in the online payment portal. Have you checked the online payment portal ?

re: the slowdown - uhm - no - in fact the time gaps on yer bits, from 'sent' to 'notice back' is actually QUICKER than the other slowdowns I've noticed . But maybe we're not talking about the same time bits and perceived slowdown bits.

Let me know when/if the IV fee bill shows up to be paid. IMO - that's the real end o time tick, for DS-3032 acceptance, +/- 2 days. grrrr

I've been noticing that the IV bill is not generated till the DS 3032 is accepted and entered in the system. I was sent my original packet via email the next day after giving the NVC operator our emails. I paid the AOS bill and sent in the DS 3032 which was accepted (per AVR)April 14th. I still have not received the IV bill. Does this sound about right as I am waiting to pay this so I can send in my last packet. (DS 230) Thanks.

Darnell, nope, the IV Bill is not yet available. It just says "NOT INVOICED".

The NVC operator told me that since you sent it using email, they will be printing that out and filing it. He said they haven't done that bit yet.

So I guess it's NOT OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED till they do the "print and file" nonsense.

Pertaining to the DS3032, (as now this seems to be going towards IV bill generation).

Deepdawg, If it helps, I got emails for both AOS and IV bill just a few days after i got a confirmation email from NVC about DS3032 and I paid them both online. So I dont what this agent spoke to you is talking about..

Hmmm..

Yeah, I thought that the message was pretty rude. People here are very helpful and everyone is trying to get their questions answered...

NVC Slowed down a bit in March, and is massively lagged for April, so far.

Hello Darnell,

I have a question me and my husband confused about the DS3032. He petition my two kids they are both under age. What is the DS3032 mean? Does my husband need to sign that Form DS3032 for my kids in the Philippines? We don't want to choose an agent. Do my husband need to send back the DS3032 to NVC even without choosing an agent? Please help, a little bit confused here. My kids I-130 already approved their paper in USCIS. My son has already a case number and we are waiting for my daughter case number in the mail.My husband always and trying to call the NVC but always busy.

Thank you ,

Sheila

the foreign spouse would submit the ds-3032, with the appropriate box checked,

and in the signature block -

write

'Signing on behalf of (underage child's name), I am the parent of (underage Child's name)'

then your signature.

With you in the USA, and the children in the PI, why would you NOT want the USC husband to be appointed as their agent?

hello VJ's

we just sen ds3032 by email... how long before NVC accept it? are they going to send me a confirmation via emal that they have accept it?? how would i know?

[Darnell 8,478]

Jay - the ONLY indication that you'll have - is that the IV bill for the DS-230 'will be available to be paid' on the online payment portal.

If you aren't using the online payment portal, then you'll get some other notice in yer postal mail.

There is rumour that an email will be sent, on DS-3032 inclusion in the casefile, but it seems sporadic, these 2 quarters.
