for emailing the ds-3032, if you use the email template, will you have to attach the actual form as well? or will the template suffice?

I only used the email template!

The AVR told me about my RFE and then I talked to the operator. I think you should be getting a SIF within a few days Tom!!

Well, for the longest time the AVR said (think of the nerdy, albeit friendly little AVR guy's voice) "The NVC has recieved your documents on (machine voice) August 2nd, 2010. Please allow 6-8 weeks...blah, blah, blah."

Then, one day I called in and it said "The NVC has reviewed your documents and found missing information." That's when I realized we had been hit with an RFE. I quickly called back, got an operator, asked what the heck was missing, and found out we had missed something on the DS-230.. I was also told (I called in about ten times within a few hours) that I could send the corrected form in using the barcode that was previously emailed to us for the original DS-230 request (but please make sure you confirm with an operator on your case before doing so...I'd hate to think I caused additional errors/waiting for anyone) So, I opened up our saved DS-230, fixed the mistake, printed out the original barcode, created a new content coversheet (just in case), and mailed that sucker off the same day!

I am still surprised that we got our SIF as soon as we did because I thought the RFE was going to set us back at least a few weeks. But, guess not! I'll take it!

Hopefully no one else will get an RFE, but if so, that (or something similar) is what you will hear on the AVR. Hope that helps!

LMBO I hate that nerdy voice... I keep calling and I am so scared of getting a RFE message!! thanks for the info and congrats again!!

Yea im impressed how fast the turnaround was for your RFE. Really hope thats the time it takes now and not just an end of the month thing!

Jesal, Buddy you dont know how badly I want you to be right!!! But tomorrow will only be 2 week since i was entered into the AVR. Thanks however for the positive thinking. Geeh maybe a week from now... I could be telling everyone !!!

Its also good to see that SIFs dont have to slow you down alot. Just be responsive.!!! Good Luck to all those who have walk the walk and waited the wait. Now its time to fulfill our fate.

thanks everyone for clarifying about the giving NVC an email address for the wife. i guess i'll give them a call after work and provide them with the wife's email address.

ok guys...there have been a development. i received emails from NVC...and it's 2 emails for each of my petition. one states PAOSF I-130...in this attachment packet, it is the AOS fee bill and choice of agent form. the second attachment packet is called ACL Universal. it is pretty much the same packet as the PAOSF I-130 except without the bill. to i received both sets in separate emails for my wife and two kids.

now my question is....i got sent an AOS bill for each of the petition. i thought i was only supposed to pay the AOS fee once for all 3 petitions. was i mistaken in thinking this?
