Make sure you keep an eye on the forms portal as well so you can submit the DS-261 online.

Nope, there's two separate portals. One's the payment portal which everyone uses. Then there's a form portals where only those eligible for online forms go to fill out the DS-261 and DS-260. The links are on the first post.

CASE COMPLETE!!! :dance: Exactly one week after DS-230 package was delivered.

The operator asked me to call back around July 20. I asked why so long? She said July interviews have been scheduled already. August interviews will be scheduled in mid-July. And before I could ask a couple more questions ... "Thank you for calling the National Visa Center, Goodbye [Click]". Rude!

Ok, I'll call back tomorrow then :P

Congrats!

You seem to be running almost 3 weeks ahead of my petition. Probably both may get interview appointment in August depending upon how quickly NVC completes my file :)

Don't give up calling NVC until you are knocked out with your interview date assigned :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks! Yes, I will not give up on calling, now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel :)

I would say I am only 2 weeks ahead of you. I lost one week because my DS-3032 reached NVC too soon! I sent it on 5/23 as soon as I received the case number. The day they received it (5/30), they replied saying that the case is being processed at this time and DS-3032 has not been generated yet. So I had to send it again on 5/30. If I were to do it again, I would have waited 1 day after receiving the case number and then sent DS-3032.

We also had a couple of hiccups in sending DS-230 and lost 3 days there. So if you time this right (send DS-230 package by Friday), you might have your case complete before July 4. Good luck to you! I hope you also get the interview in August. Keep us posted!

There is a question that says "Do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with U.S. law?" its on the DS-260 How does my wife answer that question as she has not had her medical appointment yet? would really appreciate feedback on this is it ok to select no because she has not had her "medical done in CD Juarez yet".

She marked "NO" and in the explain box provided she put "HAVE NOT TAKEN MEDICAL YET IN CD JUAREZ" is that a good answer? what have others put in this "EXPLAIN BOX"? or is it left blank?

Hi,

The email for the DS 3032 request was sent out on June 13 and had then received a automated response. Havent yet received the acceptance and whenever I call up the NVC they keep saying "havent received it yet", or that "it might be in a queue not yet checked". Having taken a week already, I'm wondering if I should be trying to resend this email just in case it didnt go through the first time, and if resubmitted would the first request be ignored?

Would you suggest resending, or waiting a few more days for a response? Thanks

Don't worry. I sent my email on June 12th and received reply yesterday. You should get a reply today or tomorrow. It takes about a week to go through emails.

And trust me Saylin when I say "we all appreciate it so much". This is so much easier with you here to help steer the ship.
