NVC FILERS - FOR October - 2010

[Tommy&Toni 2]

Hey guys, quick question... Has anyone tried the NVC e-mail address for inquiries (since that is the NVC preffered method of communication)? How much time does it usually take to receive a response from them?

If you have received AOS fee bill and already paid the bill, than I think your DS-3032 has already been accepted. Sometimes you may receive email confirmation or may not.

Just send out AOS packet with barcode sheet.

Good Luck

My hubby (beneficiary) sent the email with DS-3032 and received a delivery error from postmaster@state.gov and mailer-daemon@yahoo.com did anyone experience the same problem? The address he used is nvcinquiry@state.gov

He did not get the email from them with the form yet, could that be the problem?

Please help

That's the response you get when the e-mail address you're sending to doesn't exist or if he didn't write it correctly!

Well, that is the e-mail: NVCINQUIRY@state.gov and as I can see you have the correct one... Make sure when sending the e-mail not to leave any spaces in the address or write coma instead of a dot... double check it even triple! Maybe he typed something wrong

Try again! Good luck!

I sent in a question once and the response I got after about 3 weeks was not even responsive to my question. So I sent a reply back telling them so and that they needed to show this to their supervisor who could explain it to them. That was the last time I sent any questions to them. Someone told me they use subcontract workers which might account for them completely missing my question and it wasn't a difficult one either.

Here is what I sent and got back...

Dear Sir/Madam:

Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC).

Please submit the requested documents to the NVC for review.

If a period of one year passes from the last date of contact with the

NVC (by email, telephone or mail), all submitted fees and documents will

expire. In that case, your fees will need to be repaid and documents

will need to be resubmitted in order to continue the immigration

process.

Sincerely,

Jesus

I have a question regarding my wife's Philippines passport. Upon receipt

of the IV DS-230 Invoice from the NVC, I will be submitting our IV

package. I have a copy of my wife's passport which is still valid for 2

more years. However, this passport is in her maiden name. She is in the

process of renewing her passport but the new one will not be completed

and ready at the time I submit the IV DS-230 package. Will it be

acceptable to submit her current passport BIO page with the IV package

and for her to bring in her new passport with the proper name and a copy

of her Bio Page with her to the interview?

Thanks you for your assistance

Respectfully,

TD

AOS fee bill always goes to the petitioner. It's the IV DS-230 bill that requires the DS-2032 Choice of Agent form in order for the IV bill to show up on the payment portal. If the petitioner hasn't yet received the IV bill on the portal, you should probably send the DS-3032 again bacause you're not sure they received it and/or processed it.

Congrats, Things will start popping now but never fast enough

[IndigoSkies 168]

Took 23 minutes to get a human. Gave them my email and my wife's email. Things will be emailed to us rather than snail mailed. I got the standard 6-8 weeks message also. I was so gosh darn excited that I could barely remember my email address. Anyways, emails are on file now. What should IndigoSkies do now? What's the next step?

The trick to getting connect on NVC phone is to dial then as soon as you hear the busy signal. End the call and redial right away. Don't delay even half a second. Using this method, I was able to connect with NVC everytime I called with less than 5 tries. Maybe I got lucky or maybe this really is a trick which everyone can use.

Oh and NVC received the package from USCIS yesterday. Should I put that date on my timeline or should I put the date NVC assigned the case number?

Nice! Everyone is moving right along!

Indigo- The date that goes in your time line is the date that the AVR says as the date that NVC assigned your case number.

Personal update: Since it is Friday, I shall check both mails today to see if I received something from the co-sponsor. If not, I will be making a call tonight to check on what went wrong. My husband is still light years away from sending the stupid papers (anyone sense the frustration in my typing? ). Anyway...

Mary- That is what we say in English to. I hope that everything goes smoothly for you You guys are close to being done with this process. Will the doctor give you clearance to go to the interview and to fly here? Or are you going to have to wait until after the baby is born?
