Thank you Laure, God made a way. When they receive the document, will they inform us? How? 2-after they receive the document, will they request from us documents to submit? 3- what is the next step after they assign a number?

You still need to pay the fees before sending anything to them or at least pay aos (in my case) Just wait for their email & for further instructions good luck!!!

Wow. Can you tell us how you did it?

Where were the steps?

Yeah, I understand paying the fees. But most instructions here said to send the DS-3032 first once you get the case number.

My concern is if I send the DS-3032 too early, then it would confuse the NVC guys.

We emailed the DS-3032 after we got the case number and before any communication came from NVC and it wasn't a problem. It was accepted about 2 days later and by that time, we had received a few emails from NVC regarding our case.

Very nice of you. I just call NVC,entered our case number, they say no record for the case yet. When they receive our case, will they automatically give us a new case number?

Yes, once NVC gets your case and processes it, they'll issue a new number. A few days after that, then the AVR will update to reflect this. I'd suggest calling an operator next week though and not the AVR because an operator will be more up to date than the AVR.

I guessing I'm joining the January club :D

Grats on the NOA2! kicking.gif Welcome to the thread :)

Thank you Laure, God made a way. When they receive the document, will they inform us? How? 2-after they receive the document, will they request from us documents to submit? 3- what is the next step after they assign a number?

They won't send you an email/mail that they received your case. To find out, you'll have to call an operator and ask if they've received your case from USCIS.

Quick run-down of NVC steps:

-case number is assigned

-DS-3032 is emailed (follow template on first post)

-AOS fee is paid once available

-IV fee is paid once available

-AOS package is mailed once AOS fee appears as PAID in payment portal

-IV package is mailed once IV fee appears as PAID in payment portal

-respond to RFEs, if any

Wow, grats, you found out quickly! kicking.gif

Grats on getting your case number so quickly! Only took 9 days! blink.gif I wonder if NVC has finally caught up on their backlog...

And yes, if you have your case number, go ahead and email the DS-3032. There's a chance it might get rejected, but if it does, oh well, then you re-send it. But there's also the chance that it gets approved, and you shaved a few days off instead of waiting for the initial information email from NVC.

Clark-Kent's response above mirrors my situation. As soon as the Automated Voice System gave me the number, I sent an email version of the DS3032.

If you look back a page or so, you can see a conversation I had with another poster from France. Our times are close to identical, and i don't think unusual.

The only thing that I have to add to the info that I wrote there is that My case completed at CSC December 6. It was a full month before a case number got produced. This is my second time going through the visa process, so I knew that it would take a while, especially coming right before the holidays. I pretty much forgot about it until right after New Year. Much of the anguish with the NVC phase seems to be that period, from completion at service center to case number at NVC. I didn't pay attention, so right now i'm really happy with the NVC. If i had been pulling my hair out about if it had been received, maybe i'd be thinking differently. I've never had the government, including the post office, lose anything. Maybe i'm lucky. But, I don't think harassing them about a case number speeds anything up at all.

Once the case number was produced, i knew the next steps well from the State Department website and here. I just anticipated all that was coming and never waited for the paper instructions. The whole thing, while not technically digital yet, is pretty close. The only big hole in that statement is that i had to send in paper application.

I'm a little surprised that I got the appointment so quickly, but a good surprise is nice once in a while. My first time it was a CR-1, this time an IR-1. Both ended up coming in at about 9 months, start to finish. Not too bad. My opinion is that a lot of it has to do with being able to follow directions and anticipating how a very regulated process will work. The big waste of time in this system is the time from filing the petition with USCIS to NVC receipt. The service center is where most of the time is spent waiting. The advise here is invaluable, and all that i needed to help.

That said, i'm kind of used to online advice. You need to read a large quantity and try to piece together what is most valuable and what is most likely not-so helpful. For some reason, there are a lot of people in the world who like to act like experts when they are only repeating things that they have heard.
