You can send in the electronic version of the DS-3032. NVC accepts them with no issues. The format can be found in VJwiki.

Emailed DS-3032 to NVC this morning. I used Loto's suggestion of "Attn: PI Supervisor Sue, NVC case #, Beneficiary name, DOB" in the subject.

Just received an automated response from NVC:

"Dear Sir/Madam:

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

This petition is now eligible for further processing. The petitioner, beneficiary, and/or attorney of record will receive further instructions regarding the processing of this petition.

The NVC has updated the mailing/email address. Please continue to notify the NVC of any change of mailing/email address, or change in personal situation, which may affect the beneficiary's entitlement to a visa.

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."

So, if you're not getting a response using "Attn: Supervisor Sue"...I recommend Loto's suggestion of using "Attn: PI Supervisor Sue" in the subject line. It worked in my case.

Hope this helps! :thumbs:

Hi,

I noticed you also mailed in the hard copy, which obviously you had your spouse signed. What date did you have on it ? I have the hard copy all filled out but its dated July, wondering if I should send it or not.

My AOS is bill got invoiced, does that mean that the package has been sent to the benificiary ?

Yeah, I wanted to make sure NVC received the DS-3032. I suppose I have OCD.

My wife signed the DS-3032, on behalf of her minor child. It was signed and dated on 11/05/10.

Some say no need to mail the DS-3032 hard copy, some mail it in anyway for their reassurance. I tend to do the latter. :D

Having your AOS bill invoiced means that NVC accepted your payment as well as the DS-3032, IIRC. The petitioner would then need to send NVC the AOS package.
