CSC to TSC to NVC: the Saga continues

[celldoc 21]

You should be fine with still using your parents address, since, if you give your email addresses over to NVC, then you won't be receiving anything in the snail mail anyways. As long as NVC has some address, they'll be happy

Sounds good

OK so I've paid the AOS Fee and the DS-3032 has been sent from my wife's email using VJ's email template.

What next?

[xelance 31]

nada, just get documents together and look out for that email regarding acceptance of DS-3032 and your IV invoice.

Sounds good, back to the VJ guide for the list of documents

You know, I still have to think twice before I believe the emails I'm get from the NVC, as a little bit of me is still paranoid that maybe I'm getting some bullsh#@ boilerplate email

[xelance 31]

this is what it should say if the ds-3032 has been accepted:

"Dear Sir/Madam:

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

We received the principal applicant's DS-3032 (Choice of Address and Agent) form designating an address and agent. Instructions for paying the immigrant visa application processing fee and all future correspondence will be sent to the agent at the address selected on the DS-3032.

For more information regarding the immigrant visa application fee or for answers to frequently asked questions, please visit the following website:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3904.html

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."

It is pretty cut and dry, and you will know if the email they send you pertains to the acceptance of the DS-3032 or not.

Yep my letter's legit.

I'm working on the I-864 cover letter... in the VJ template, adjacent to "your name", they write "[sPONSOR].

Is the template clarifying that this should be my name and not my wife's or am I to literally write "[sPONSOR]" after my name in the address area?

[xelance 31]

dont write [sPONSOR]...just your name.

No problem

[celldoc 21]

Oh boy.

I'm looking at the DS-230 cover letter template, looks like I need to have my wife send me a bunch of certified/notarized stuff. I hate getting stuff from India, even with DHL it can take a while sometimes.

[Darnell 8,478]

yup - now's a good time to restudy the DS-230 (re-read page 3 la)
