I got both numbers from the same operator. Keep calling them once a day to get the IIN. You will surely get the IIN when you receive your AOS Invoice email.

Just got my AOS Invoice via email today. I paid the $88 (In process) and sent out the OPTIN email to NVCElectronic@state.gov with DS-3032 attached.

The DS-3032 was a generic one, not the one they send to you with the barcode and name. I'm wondering if I should send a copy to NVCinquiry@state.gov too. Fting waited 15 days to resend his to NVCinquiry instead of NVCElectronic.
