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.

Hi, does anyone know where to find information on import duties/taxes when your spouse ships personal belongings to the U.S.? All I can find is a 10 year old document from CBP that may or may not be valid still.

Thanks

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.

For the petitioner I-864, if the USC is currently residing abroad with the beneficiary, should the USC put US or Australia for their "Country of Domicile"?
