If you get NVC# and offical email next day certainly it is expedite!

Did you ask expedite due to delay in USCIS?

Is AVR said different once you have receive the offical NVC email? The

reason I am asking since I received NVC and INN# yesterday and not

heard anything from NVC but I entered NVC web site with MVC#

and it says candidate should send DS-3032 so just emailled it!

Did I do too early? AVR still saying NVC# when I call!

Yes, I made the request for expedited based on USCIS delay.

I don’t think it’s too early. I believe once you get your NVC# you can send it right away. However, I did call same day I got the NVC# to provide my email address as well as my husbands, and within, an hour I received the email from NVC..... I called few times to make sure that my email address on file was correct and to confirm if an email was ok instead of the DS3032, and two of the agents told me that it is the same. Since we did receive the form, my husband printed it out, signed, & scanned it and attached it to email he sent NVC. We still have not seen an answer but I’ve already paid the Affidavit, but still showing in Process…

Bookcat1, Thanks a lot for the info.

I have gave our emails when I received NVC too. But still not received any email from NVC and

I cannot able to login to AOS fee paying site! I will call them again :unsure:

I wonder why I cant pay the AOS fee yet...strange. Sarah, you were able to pay the day after your case number was assigned right?

That's normal. I only got the first email from NVC three days after I got my case number. I guess technically two days since one day NVC had closed due to weather. You should get it by Wednesday, Thursday the latest.

Are people still having trouble signing in to the payment portal? I just called the NVC to make sure they had our email addresses and ask for the IIN. I got the IIN, but can't sign in yet. I know others were having problems before, and I wanted to see if/how they worked it out. Sorry if I missed something, but I've been crazed with work lately and haven't been able to read the threads as thoroughly as I normally would!

Also, is it OK for my husband to go ahead and email his choice of agent (following this template) even though I haven't received any emails from NVC yet, and when I call the AVR, it doesn't say anything about the DS-3032 having been generated?

Thanks so much, guys. I've been reading up on this stuff for months and months, but it's kind of hard to know how it all works until you're actually going through it!

There do seem to be a few TSC refugees still having problems with the payment portal. It's odd that it's only you guys. I haven't seen anyone else having problems from other service centers, and I haven't had any problems either. I think only time can fix the problem. Hope you and everyone can log on soon to start paying bills!

Yes, it's ok for your husband to send the email for CoA.

Thanks, Saylin! It's so annoying... haven't we been screwed over enough already? If I'm not able to sign in by tomorrow, I'll send NVC an email to ask about it.

Yeah, just as you think you're away from all the craziness, you find more of it at NVC. I wouldn't suggest emailing them, you won't hear a response for awhile. I'd talk to an operator about it. If they can't help, ask to talk with their supervisor.
