when to send OPTIN email

[bostonmom 0]

Darnell and all

Once I get NVC#, do I have to wait until I receive the 3032 from NVC to send the OPTIN? Or as soon as I get NVC#, I can just use the 3032 from the state.gov website and send the OPTIN?

6 months ago, I would say 'as soon as you get NVC casenumber'

Now, I'm saying (for GZO/EP cases) -

WAIT until you have the AOS FEE BILL in yer email.

WHEN you have that fee bill in yer email? NVC is 'ready to go' on yer casefile.

If you don't have the AOS fee bill yet (you not skip the first step, to call, get human, exchange emails, right?)

then call into NVC, ask them to 'send you AOS fee bill via email' on Monday.

Good Luck !

Yes, you can send the OPTIN to NVC as soon as you get NVC# by mail and pay AOS fee (AOS fee invoice is included in NVC# letter). You can use DS-3032 from USCIS website and attach it to your OPTIN. You will receive IV fee and new NVC# for electronic processing by email.

thanks Darnell and xiaozhu

Darnell, wait or not, what difference would this make?

NVC 'backoffice' ops have increased, from six months ago -

so this concept of 'immediacy' is gone. What used to be 'immediate' and 'same day' has stretched to '3 days' to '3 weeks'

NVC needs to 'get ready' to process yer casefile.

WHEN you have AOS fee bill in yer email, IMO - NVC is ready to rock and roll.

After 'chatting with you' for 6 months now -

I notice a pattern of you having big reluctance to take any advice I give you, and act on that advice.

So, I'm out - I'm not going to respond to yer posts anymore. If you wish to study some 'direct advice', study yer prior posts using the 'advanced search' tool - I've made all of the proper responses then and there; it's still up to you, to vette my opinion on yer parent's casefiles.

Good Luck !

Darnell, I appreciate you responding to a lot of questions people asked (including mine), I just don't know when and how I offended you. by far, I just asked questions. You don't have to publicly "announce" you will refuse to respond to my post.

Okay, I have 4 cases being processed by NVC. By now I have experimented different options and found my answer.

Done with this forum, it is a great forum with a lot of useful info, but asking questions here can be hurt. good luck to all NVC'ers.
