Call NVC, they might not have received your DS-3032 (Choice of Agent Form)...

Calling NVC is correct. But AOS is not linked to DS-3032 - it is the DS-230.

What could have happened NavyK? My husband was able to sent an email form of the ds-3032 but they just responded that they're still reviewing? Last 10/3/2011, I've come to know that there was a minor issue but it has been resolved. I just called a few hours ago and the operator told me I need to wait 2-4 weeks for them to send me an email indicating my next course of action. Any suggestions?

Your case was received at NVC on 8/8/2011 but you became a citizen on 9/12/2011. I am sure you sent a copy of Naturalization certificate but NVC will need time to move your application to citizenship status from permanent resident status. You will have to wait till NVC completes this change process. The best option for you is to call them periodically and inquire.

It was upgraded on 9/15/2011 but there was a minor issue that has been resolved as per the agent I spoke with last 10/3/2011. What email I'm expecting from them? Do I need to wait for that email before the DS3032?

Correction: AOS Fee Bill isn't generated until your DS-3032 has been accepted...

So you see the DS-3032 is what gets the whole NVC ball rolling...

As the OP has already replied and indicated that I was correct now they just need to sit tight and wait for the IV Fee Bill to be generated so they can continue the process...

Do you think I need to ask my husband to email the DS-3032 or should I still wait for their email at this point of time?

If you have not already sent the DS-3032 then go ahead and do it now. If you have then I'd say wait one week before calling them again.

I asked him to send another one just in case the previous one does not reflect my updated last name (I changed my last name when I was naturalized). Hopefully that will work. Thanks for your replies.
