Help I need help!! I've been doing the whole process on my own so far. I got married to a Dominican and I am trying to bring him to the US with me. I filed the I-130 all by myself and I may say that I was very proud of my package it was very detailed with information which I sent on March 20th. On June 26th case was approved and was sent to the NVC. Ive been calling them for a while and finally yesterday they provided me the NVC Case #, Beneficiary ID # and an Invoice # but the lady told me that I had to wait til it was fully processed to wait some days and go back on the website where it says the fees for the Affidavit of Support and some other Application fee.But What do I do now?? I'm so lost and I think I was doing soo good. Do I wait til I am able to pay those fees and go from there? Can I do other things prior just to not waist time and speed up the process? I was told by a friend that he thinks but is not sure that I can start with the DS 3032 form. Is that true? If so where can I file it? Please Please I would really appreciate all the advice and help I can get. Thank you so much!

Yes, by all means you need to help yourself to get through this part quickly. File the DS-3032 via e-mail today, via your finace's e-mail using the templates provided on this site. Check the payment portal site and pay the AOS fee as soon as it becomes available to you.

You should also have the I-864 and DS-230 packages ready to go, so work on those if you don't have them ready to go already. Use the templates for cover letters for those packages to get a list of the items needed to send in with them. Also, check with the consulate in the DR to see if they require anything special not already on the list.

Hopefully you have most of this ready to go, because you'll need it all in about a week or so to avoid stalling the process. Good luck!

Thank you so much for the response.. So I just called the NVC and they told me that I still have to wait because the case was barely submitted yesterday and that they will send me an email with the DS 3032 form and other information. He said I needed to wait for the email to proceed. That I can get familiar with all the information for the other packages that I'm gonna need but can't submit anything yet until I get a response :( argggg why does this have to be so complicated! :(

You're doing well. Don't panic. If you have the case number feel free to send the DS-3032 to NVC. Do you have invoice id number? If so, you can pay your fees. P

Thank you so much Stephanie lastnight I was so stressed and freaking out. I feel more releaved after reading your comment. I wanted to send the DS3032 but a gentleman from NVC told me I have to wait until I got an email from them which he said it might takes days upto a week or so. Once I get that email I guess I can also pay. I printed out the DS3032 form and on top it asks for a bar code that needs to be placed and I dont have that. Im assuming and hoping that will be in the email I receive from them? Another friend also refered me to that website and I actuaklly just printed it out right now and I'm going to take a look at it. You have no idea well I'm sure you do since you went through the same process about how much I appreciate all your advice. THANK YOU THANK YOU!! anymore helpful advice is very welcomed!

Ypu have NVC case number so don't waste time.You don't need to wait for any emails or anything from them just use this template http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Email_DS-3032_form Fill in the blank with your info and send it FROM YOUR HUSBAND'S EMAIL ADDRESS appointing YOU as his agent. This will be accepted in a couple of days and then you will be able to pay your IV fee.

Also, call NVC again and provide you and your husband's emails.

If you have a case number, you can download a DS3032 and mail it or email it according to the instructions in the NVC shortcuts here. If you also have the invoice ID number, you can login to the payment portal. If the AOS fee shows as "not paid" go ahead and pay it. You HAVE what you need, now learn the shortcuts and follow them.

A Warning to Green Card Holders About Voting

I just called the NVC and Molly the agent that answered the phone called that was very nice actually said that if I send the DS3032 form filled out without the bar code that I should have when I receive the email from them and pay my fees that they will just toss it because it is not complete. That I need to wait and it takes a week or 2 for me to get that email where it says I can go ahead and pay for the AOS and the other fee. Everytime I go to the website to pay there is no aument because it hasn't been fullin processed atleast that's what they tell me. :/ starting to stress out again!!

Rosy, unless things have changed just recently you don't need any barcode to send the DS3032! Someone please correct me if I am wrong and things have very recently changed!

All you need is your case number and the personal info that is included in the template of DS3032 I sent you (the link above). Members here do this all the time with no issues, myself included. It doesn't hurt to try, I am 99% it will work unless they made a new rule this week. After you send this email (from your husband's email address) you will get an acceptance email from NVC and your IV fee will be invoiced shortly after.

The agent is wrong. You need the case number on the DS3032. No need for the bar code.
