NVC Filers - July 2012

[Abby04tiz 2]

BEST NEWS EVER..............I CALLED THIS MORNING AND ONLY LIKE 3 MINUTES ON HOLD, GOT A VERY NICE LADY (WHICH I THANKED HER PROFUSELY FOR) AND SHE TOLD ME HAVE A ................

(drumroll please...)

CASE COMPLETE!!!!

Thanks everyone, especially, Saylin, for your help.

She of course told me to call back the third week of August because that's when interview dates are set, but I know better! When should I start calling them? In about 2 weeks or so....?

Also, just like there are the monthly NVC threads, are there any monthly interview threads to get us prepared?

Have a great day everyone!

Guys guess what I just got my case #, IIN, and Beneficiary ID and gave my e-mail address!!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!

:thumbs: :thumbs: :dance: CONGRATS TO YOU!

[Dana and Divine 61]

Well Darnell I didn't quote what you said cuz the man was so darn nice. However he did admit since I said today is my 15th business day he said "if you could give in a few more days we are running a lot slower than usually". I thanked him for being so honest and cool. That was nice. Fine I will chill until next week. Than its on again.

Gosh, I was hoping for better news! But....I'm waiting with ya! I hope your process is faster than mine has been AFTER you receive your case number and invoice number.

[Dana and Divine 61]

I just got off the phone with NVC the lady I talked to was very nice she said they recieved my Case from USCIS on July 9 however they are very far behind and they are working overtime to get caught up and I should call back next week and they should have my number then. So next week it is.

WOW...you're right here with us too! Congratulations! 9ja is representing this month!

got an email from NVC that contains a bar-coded DS-3032 (along with other information). Do I re-send the DS-3032?

NO. Do NOT email another DS-3032. NVC automatically generates these emails and do not care if you've already sent in a DS-3032 or not; they include a DS-3032 anyways. Only if NVC responds to your first DS-3032 with a rejection do you send another one.

Above is a question and answer from the FAQ's at the beginning of this thread. However, it does not address my situation completely. NVC contacted me by email and stated they have not received the DS-3032. The AOS has been there for over one week and the operator is showing it paid and says they are awaiting the DS-3032 to proceed with the remainder of the case. My husband sent it by email on July 10 and copied me on it. It was just as formated here for email with all of our information plugged into the form. I have double checked all of our information and all is correct.

The NVC operator says, send it again. Do we send it again? We received an autoresponse July 10 when the other was forwarded.

[Darnell 8,478]

If you gave over both email addresses to an operator once the case number was assigned, then all correspondence is sent by email.

I really want to emphasize, or re-emphasize, this one point.

Giving Over the email addresses turns on the first switch at NVC for casefile Intake.

AOS FEE BILL sent to Petitioner's Email Inbox, the second switch and subsequent flow.

Use a Telephone, Give Over when you can, as you can. It makes a world of difference, for time and timing, for yer casefile.

hi all, I emailed the 3032 last thursday so it has been a week and I haven't received any acceptance email from them, nor did I get IV invoice. I called NVC yesterday and was told emails are processed by the order they are received, basically not a helpful answer. Is this normal? 3032 acceptance takes quite a couple of days?

are you trying to OPT IN for NVC Electronic Processing?

I received a response to the DS-3032 email I sent on the 10th.

[Darnell 8,478]

i notice noa2 cases from csc takes longer to get to the nvc.

I-129F's for K-1 visas had a serious lag, leaving CSC -as CSC was routing them to the NBC, the National Benefits Center, instead of NVC, the National Visa Center. I'd like to shoot the programmer that made that mistake, then quarter him, put his body parts at the 4 border points on the USA.

I pray the same error not occur for I-130 petitions. IF so, that would suck. Mondo Suckage.

And I thought waiting for the NOA 2 was hard.

I know, right??Since everyone says that this part is faster you think it's gonna fly by, but..maybe that's why it feels longer! Hang in there!!!

Guys guess what I just got my case #, IIN, and Beneficiary ID and gave my e-mail address!!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!

thanks girl!

Yup, it's old, and pertinent, when NVC slows down.

Medical done! Now a month-long wait for the interview!

Grats! Plenty of time to completely prepare for the interview!

Wow, I am just so frustrated right now..

So, I called NVC yesterday to see if the interview had been scheduled. Nice young man who answered the phone, stated "It's not scheduled yet, but it. Should be any day now". I thanked him and stated I would call back tomorrow, he wished me luck.

TODAY....I waited 30 minutes on hold. Stated I was calling to see if the interview had been scheduled, and the woman says..."Interview scheduling stopped weeks ago, it will start again at the end of August". When I stated I had been told otherwise previously, she said "You probably heartd wrong". I said Thank you and that I would just keep calling till...to which this woman replies with the most sarcastic voice, "Well then, you just do that, honey."

I want to know WHO to complain to about these people! I have contacted my representative and emailed my senator. I am tired of the lies.

Sorry, frustrated.

Some operators are freakin' ridiculous. I had a rude one as well when I was calling for my interview date.

If you're serious about complaining, view this website: http://oig.state.gov/

Is the "Country of Domicile" box on the I-864 supposed to be entered as United States if you have a foreign address and will be proving US domicile? Or is it filled as the country of residence and then the attachment states that you will be re-establishing domicile in the US?

Yes, I believe you need to put USA for this question and not your current country of residence. You'll then need to send in as much proof as possible of your US domicile. There's a sample list in the FAQ on post 1.

Was that email in response to any other email or was it stand-alone? And what date did you receive this email? Can you copy and paste it here? I think in your case, you might actually want to send it again.

are you trying to OPT IN for NVC Electronic Processing?

You really should study: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Electronic_Processing#How_to_OPT_IN

hi Darnell. Yes on July 12 I emailed OPTIN with 3032 attached. and on July 16 I received my GZO#. So the OPTIN worked, and I paid my AOS invoice, and I emailed the AOS pdf on July 17.

As of now I still have not receive 3032 acceptance, thus no IV invoice. I called NVC and was told to wait. Hope I am not doing any steps wrong at this point.

thanks very much.

you should receive a email asking for ds-3032 in one of your emails - mostly likely in beneficiary's email. once you get that, email the ds-3032 to nvcinquiry and not nvc electronic! they should take 5 days to open your email and a few more days to create your visa invoice.

So far, based on what you've written in this post, I think yer 'spot on', for the activities that can occur with NVC Electronic Procssing.

Currently, you are waiting for the DS-3032 to be detached from the OPT IN Email, and be added to the casefile. This takes up to 11 calendar days, currently (Not Business Days) . Relax a bit, do some yoga for the next 4 days, or join my Aunties Club for doing Tai Chi at 5 in the morning; yer choice.

You still need to wait. Waiting is OK, for now...

Current Predicition - IV FEE BILL arrive no later than Thursday of next week, USA Calendar.

Be Patient La... Or I make you cook 900 Venison Jiaozi between now and next Thursday, getting your Aunties to help.

whoa. Whatever yer smoking? Stop it. Bad Advice, la.
