Does NVC already have my email address?

[Emmamama 2]

Hi guys,

I am told that I need to give my email address to an NVC operator. Late last night I received the DS-3032 and the AOS bill. Do I still need to call and give our email addresses even if I received the emails¿? Do they already have them??

THANKS!

Questions:

1. How did you receive it? email? postal mail?

2. are you the US Citizen or the foreign spouse ?

If you want to 'pay all online' - have a read?

Yes, I have read this, thanks!

I am the petitioner-US citizen and I received a copy of the DS-3032 "kit" and the AOS bill via email.

(Just realized that my husband did not receive an email...so they don't have his email? Maybe I should give this one to the NVC operator?? We do live together so anything I get will be passed along or shared with him.)

We attempted to email the DS-3032 from two different email addresses and did not receive any automated message saying that the form was received. (I know that one may or may not receive this...or will receive it later...not too worried as we will also send it in the post.)

So....they have my email address?

alrighty then. thanks for answering me .

IMO - having received the DS-3032 'kit' via email is the 'thing' that makes the difference.

So - somehow, my answer is YES - they have yer email address. Usually they 'get it' because you or yer evil twin called in, talked with a human, and gave the information to them. Are you sure you (or yer evil twin) did NOT call in, this week? Maybe there was an email address on you somewhere in the I-130 ? (there's an additional form you can use, IIRC, to get receipt notification via email on initial I-130 submittal, but I digress) .

The DS-3032 takes about 5 to 9 days, currently, once received at NVC, for any 'action' to be taken on it. There is never an instant 'automated message' returned back to you. You MIGHT be getting stuff in, later, but it'####### and miss to forecast 'when'. Towards the end of NVC processing, to the best of my knowledge, the DS-3032 is reviewed, and then that final checklist is sent off. So, if you receive the checklist - thats a good indication that the DS-3032 was accepted. Others claim it's accepted when the IV fee bill has been generated, or when the AVR says case complete, or when the online payment portal login fails. IMO, it's still a moving target as to 'where in this frickin process it's actually acted on'.

IMO - this 'action' is parallel to the rest of the 'stuff' - ie

1. paying online

2. sending off document/form sets.

(Note I said Parallel - ie - stuff running concurrently, without 'waiting' )

For now - you can pay the AOS fee, online, prep that I-864 packet to get out the door.

If you follow my guidelines in that link, you'll notice that 'action' of what to do next - is all driven by

'what you see' at the payment portal.

Come hang out here, http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=238648 for a bit?

(I wonder where the March NVC thread is? )

Good Luck !

Yay NVC !!

Darnell,

If being granted a visa were the Academy Awards I would mosdef include you in my speech. Your advice has been/is a great deal of help.

Will joint the forum and follow your steps.

As for calling in...have to check with twin, but I didn't do so. Just check my Spousal Affidavit, I-130, G325a...my email address is not listed!!! Mmmm...maybe because I signed into the USCIS website?

Will call them and give them both (if they will accept 2) of our email addresses just to make sure.

THANKS!

OH WAIT!

Just saw that my email address was included on cover sheet...possibly NVC got it from here?

re: travelling email address

this is always 'hard' to fathom.

I tell folk - if you call NVC two weeks from the NOA-2 date - they will be 'ready' to start.

So - if it's been less than 2 weeks from NOA-2 date to 'DS-3032 kit' arrival date - and you received the kit prior to a 2 week interval -

then someone's tweaked that data system at NVC (to yer benefit).

Yay NVC !!
