I am fan of foxit - the dl link is in the wiki page. You should be able to DL the installation set, then email it to her.

You prolly meant she had issues with OPENING the PDF file, not necessarily 'getting' the pdf, right?

You are correct, issues opening the file. My wife is not exactly a computer genius and I do not think a lot of people work with pdf's a lot. Myself I have adobe 9 pro on my Mac and use it daily. But for the wife........ I'll look for the "foxit" page. Anyway to get NVC to give me the Invoice ID Number over the phone? Sure are tight lipped about it..

Thanks...

when you call back to NVC - ask a Human if they've sent you an AOS FEE BILL Via email yet, or not.

If they are clueless, ask them to send you an AOS FEE BILL via email.

The IIN will be inside of the AOS FEE BILL.

I just received an email about the "agent of choice" for the DS-3032. Now, I've read on the forum NOT to use the one that comes with the email But I called and I was told by the man at the NVC that I SHOULD use this one because it has a "bar code" on it. What do you think about this? Use or not to Use? I am thinking to go ahead and use it because he (the man at NVC) told me to. I think I'll call again and ask yet another person to confirm this. At the same time I will as them to send me a AOS Fee Bill.

Thanks

FORGOT .....I asked about from "who's" email address should the OPTIN and DS-3032 should be sent from, I asked "from my wife's?" he said "it doesn't matter". So really confusing. But I am not going to temp faith at this point and just email the DS-3032 with the Subject line OPTIN GUZXXXXXXXXX from my wife's email address... to NVCElectronic@state.gov. This stuff will drive you nuts....

[Darnell 8,478]

Ya, sorry - don't use the one with the barcode in it - it's NOT FILLABLE.

Use the one in the WIKI page - there's a LINK to download it.

re: email - he's confused - ppl have gotten dinged on EP because of the email NOT originating from the foreign spouse's account, in the foreign country. IP addresses are checked, you betcha.

Previously, we all thought it wouldn't matter , but it does - and I changed the wiki accordingly.

Are ya reading the wiki? If you look in the SpeedBumps section, you'll read something about 'brain-dead humans' at NVC - they know little to nothing about EP.

The thing that MIGHT drive you nuts, is what NVC is telling ya, when you compare it to the wiki page. I get that, you betcha.

ya - apparently them b@stards at NVC have 'debundled the DS-3032 kit' email thingie. You should have gotten an AOS FEE BILL with that email, and you didn't. Which of course, SUCKS.

It's good you asked for the AOS FEE BILL to be emailed to you (you did say email, right? not just 'mail' ? )

Have you reviewed LingChe's ShortCuts, at all ? You might want to take a look, at this point.

I did back when I started this process, apparently I need to dig out my hard copy and re-read it since it evidently didn't stick in there along with all the new software engineering stuff I'm having to stuff into my dusty, cobweb covered brain matter...

Too much for this old brain. I really need to win the lottery so I can get a job volunteering at the local animal shelter. <grin>

I've had a nice refreshing shower, put on some clean clothes, and had an opportunity to think about this, run through the linkages. The reason the DS-3032 file is linked on the wiki page, is that it's ON the state.gov website for NVC Electronic Processing. The link is here - http://travel.state.gov/visa/visa_4410.html The bit that's missing from that page, is that the DS-3032 HAS TO BE SIGNED by the foreign spouse.

The thing that bothers me, really, about BARCODE for the DS-3032, is that ITS NOT REQUIRED on this form, because the email address is the 'tracker' , along with the GUZ / GZO casefile number. Also, check the expiration date on the barcoded DS-3032 you got. If YOURS is following the pattern, it's LONG EXPIRED, as well.

Hang in there. NVC is open till 00:00 EST, so if you want to call, talk to a brain-dead operator, by all means bug them about the AOS Fee Bill

So it is better to use the new one then? I will use the new one then and if there are issues I am sure that they will let me know.. Yes it was expired back in 2006.

Yes!

[Djwalker60 1]

Yes!

Ok, I will use the new one. Then I will use the one that is not expired. I had her sign one in January, that one should be ok, yes?

Ya, LingChe's ShortCuts are chock full o info, and it's DENSE. I took a printout of it, and mapped out, on yet another hunk o greenbar paper (with blue crayon) the steps, in a flowchart format. I made 2 sets of the flowchart, one's on the wall, another is in my carry bag. Thank God for GreenBar paper !

MAYBE. Check the expiration date on the one she signed. If it's current, you should be OK.

Did you email her the link to foxit download?
