Can anybody tell me how to get that all started electronically once you have an NVC case number?

Does anybody know if Morocco is one of the countries that allows that electronically? I read somewhere that only certain countries allow it....I think. I've read so much and this part is all new to me. Didnt have to do NVC when we tried for the K1 originally.

Once you have your case number, call the operator and give hir your and your spouse's email addresses. That opts you in to electronic contact from NVC. Also, get your Invoice Identification Number (IIN) which will allow you to log into the payment portal to pay fees (and print out the barcoded cover sheets).

Once you get the initial email from the NVC with the attached DS3032 (Choice of Agent), you can then send that in from your spouse's email to designate yourself the agent, which will then entitle you to get all other contact from NVC.

As for electronic processing, I don't think Morocco is one of the countries on that list. It should be on the NVC website, but I don't happen to have it bookmarked and handy.

Holding my nose and jumping off the cliff.. hope I don't hit any rocks in the water.

Electronic processing is not available for Morocco.

In the middle of this past week, I paid the AOS bill, the following day is when I received the EP acceptance email, yesterday the payment portal showed the AOS bill as paid, and today, I emailed the AOS package to the NVC. Now I'm waiting for the IV bill to be invoiced.

Called the AVR yesterday. AVR says information missing or incomplete. Praying it's because they've only reviewed one of our two packages. Kind of worried about the RFE, but kinda not, because we went over everything with a fine-toothed comb at least 5 times before mailing things out. Can't wait till we can talk to an operator to find out what the RFE is for.

Come soon, Monday! :whistle:

Tell your sister to stop emailing NVC. When the case number is assigned, it'll be assigned. Her emailing them won't make them do it faster. Again, I'll repeat my advice: tell her to call an operator at NVC and/or listen to the AVR.

How long did it take you to have the IV invoiced so it could be paid? I've been signing into the portal daily but I have not been able to pay the bill. I just checked the AVR and it said the DS-3032 has been received (I attached it when I sent the OPTIN email).

FYI, if you have a GZO number and try to input it on the AVR, the AVR will not recognize it so I had to use the old GUZ number.

FYI, if you have a GZO number and try to input it on the AVR, the AVR will not recognize it so I had to use the old GUZ number.

When exactly did the AVR update to say the DS-3032 was received?

For my case, on a Saturday (I'm assuming it changed Friday night, but forgot to check before going to bed) my AVR changed saying the DS-3032 had been accepted. By that following Monday, my IV bill was invoiced and my husband paid for it. The next day, it appeared as PAID :)

So, since your AVR has updated to that it received the DS-3032, it should be any day (or even hour!) for the IV bill to be invoiced for you. Just keep checking the payment portal as often as you can/want.

Just received the emails for the DS-3032 and AOS fee. I have sent an email with my choice of agent and have sent another one to Trevor reminding him he has a bill to pay :innocent: . He is away all week on business but he has the AOS package with him in case it is ready to be sent before he gets home.

Grats on the progress! Hope your DS-3032 gets accepted quickly and that your IV bill is invoiced fast.

Not even 10 minutes went by after I posted my last post that the IV invoice showed up in my inbox. I had shut down my computer and went to work so it was at a much later time when I saw the invoice.
