I 130 July 2012 Filers

[Shpresa 5]

Good to know! Sometimes people wait months and months for the NOA2, but never do any research while waiting, so when they get it the first thing they do is make a thread saying "what's next??". Huge pet peeve of mine. Glad to know you're prepared though!

FINALLY APPROVED! *Dancing*

Just got the approval email!!!!! PD July 31, 246 days to NOA2, had an RFE to respond to, but we made it through! Off to NVC now! Best part is that we're in the airport waiting for a flight to Hawaii for a conference and short vacation. We'll be gone a week, so I'll be having too much fun with my hubby to think about this stuff for a bit, and then as soon as we get back I can start calling!!!

Thank you very much!

Hi,

Yes, you can email them, they accept email and this save a lot time for your case.

Here is Guide to email DS-3032

Many members are having success in emailing the NVC to choose their agent instead of sending in the DS-3032 via regular mail. Sometimes NVC sends an automated response upon receiving the e-mail but many times this feature does not work.

NVC takes from a few days to 2 weeks to send an email confirming receipt of the DS-3032.

The email template below complies with NVC e-mail guidelines and the content of DS-3032 Form.

Have your foreign spouse (beneficiary) send an email to NVCINQUIRY@state.gov with the following contents:

DS-3032 Email Template

Subject: <NVC Case Number - Beneficiaries Name>

NVC Case No: <NVC Case Number>

CIS Case No: <USCIS Case Number> or <NOA Receipt Number>

Petitioner's Name: <Petitioner's Name LAST FIRST MI>

Petitioner's Date of Birth: <MONTH DD, YYYY> i.e. January 01, 1951

Beneficiary's Name: <Beneficiary's Name LAST FIRST MI>

Beneficiary's Date of Birth: <MONTH DD, YYYY> i.e. January 01, 1951

Re: Declaration of Choice of Address and Agent for Immigrant Visa applicant

To whom it may concern:

My name is <beneficiaries name>, my visa case number is # <NVC Case Number>.

Per the DS-3032 (Choice of Address and Agent for Immigrant Visa Applicants), I would like to appoint my <Husband/Wife> as my agent of choice to receive all future correspondence from the U.S. Department of State. <His/Her> contact information is provided below:

Name: <Petitioner's Name LAST FIRST MI>

Address:

<Petitioner's Address Line 1>

<Address Line 2> (optional)

<Address Line 3> (optional)

<City>, <State/Province>, <Postal Code>

<Country>

Phone: <Petitioner's Phone Number>

Email: <Petitioner's E-mail Address>

All mail from the U.S. Department of State concerning my immigrant visa should be sent to the address above.

Please let me know if you need additional information. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely yours,

If you got your CASE# assigned and you're from China. Visit NVC april forum and look under Darnell advise or PM him questions you may have, he an expert for ALL Chinese immigrant questions and you should opt in for EP (electronic Process) instead of snail mail, but the procedures must be done correctly otherwise your case will get extra delay at your own fault.

Calling NvC wont piss them off will it, do they keep a record of when u called them? i called 4 days after receiving NOA2 approval email, and the lady at nvc seemed agitated saying harshly , "sir you have to wait 7-15 days before you call".
