Yes. I emailed my DS-3032 just a few minutes after we paid the AOS fee, and NVC accepted it. It's my understanding that you can do both simultaneously, since they take parallel paths, so to speak. (By they, I mean the processing of the AOS and the processing of the IV application.)

awww. thankyou! i am just so worried about it cause mu husband told me to wait until it is PAID status on payment portal.. but i still send it an hour after he pays the AOS.. cause for me why wait if you can send it right away.. so less time of waiting.

You're welcome! :) No need to worry about your DS-3032. They should accept it any day now.

Hi, Im the petitioner and Im confused on emailing the DS-3032.... I can't filled in the blanks online like the I-130 form. so how can I emailed it in?? I tried searching the forums, but still don't get it. also is this the same method used as scanning in documents? Thanks

Hi! I used the format from this link: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Email_DS-3032_form. It's from the VJ wiki. You don't need to scan any documents. Just email NVC using the format.
