Just received NVC case Number & IIN

[SAJA 0]

Our I-130 petition was approved last week. I called NVC this morning and received the case number and Invoice identification number. But the NVC rep. told me that I can't do anything with these numbers at this time and I would to wait until I receive an email from them later this week. After looking at other forums on VJ, my understanding was that we can pay AOS fee ( for I-864) as soon as we get the NVC case #/IIN # and email DS-3032 (choice of agent form). Should I wait for NVC to email me or should I proceed with AOS fee payment and sending in DS-3032? Thanks.

Wait it is all a process they will request everything plus the DS 3032 and AOS can be digitally scanned and emailed back to them it speeds up the process only the visa petition requires original forms and supporting documents. Even after you pay for the AOS and visa you have to wait for a receipt to show proof of payment if asked at the consulate. Just be prepared when they ask for everything.

Good luck

You can send your DS-3032 right away. I did it and they took about a week to get my email. By then they had already requested this form to me.

To pay the AOS fee you will have to wait for your fee to be invoiced. They will send you an email when that happens. After you pay it , it takes a couple of days to be accepted. After that you will be able to pay the IV fee.

Grats on your recent I-130 approval!

Don't listen to the rep. You can send the DS-3032 by email (follow the wiki template on this site!!) now. Be warned though, it may be rejected for sending it too early, but you can then just re-send it. This way, you're not wasting any time.

As for the AOS payment, if you can log on and see the AOS invoiced, then by all means, pay it! You don't need to wait for NVC to tell you to pay a bill.

Only the DS-3032 can be emailed by everyone. The AOS package can only be emailed with those in the EP (electronic processing) program. Neither you nor the OP are eligible for EP.
