So we sent the DS-3032 via email and never got response (besides the autoresponse)....However, I was able to pay the AOS fee. Do we need to send DS-3032 again? Or since things are already moving, does it no longer matter?

Oupssssss!.....With all the excitement of my wife finishing her interview on September 4, I actually posted her results in the wrong Visajourney forum!

Anyways, the interview went fast, smooth and she was APPROVED! The details are in my post on the consulate reviews for Montreal!

I want to send a very big special THANK YOU to Saylin for her Wiki and for all the help she gave us along the way! Thanks also to all the others that answered our questions.

We already have her visa with us and we should do POE this Monday!

Good luck to all those still in the process and don't lose faith. Follow everything you find here on Visajourney and don't be afraid to ask questions when necessary!

Please remember the DS-3032 is part of the IV track which has nothing to do with the AOS track. The IV bill will NOT be invoiced until the DS-3032 has been received and accepted.

What date did you send the DS-3032? It's currently taking 1-2 weeks for it to be accepted.

It was the same for us, then we got an email that said that DS-3032 was accepted AND payment for AOS fee received (in same email).

Wow this is really really frustrating!!! I will not call NVC because I will receive the "15 to 20 days" response as everyone else. :wow: I see others with NOA2 of 13, 14, 34 days that have already gotten Invoiced. Dont get me wrong, I am happy for them and wish i was in their shoes. However I am wondering how this process actually works? I keep telling myself to stay positive and that eventually it will come. But man!! Really!! Just venting!!! :(:(:(:(

I'll one up you though -- I've been without my husband since June 2011 because of immigration. :( I've seen him ~15 days total in the past 15 months. IT. SUCKS.

Neither here nor there -- do you guys have any kind of waiver to file? Or did you, luckily, meet while th USC was in the DR?
