Hey Chris and Laura!

Here are my two cents:

1. It took my case 5 days to get to the NVC and the case number was assigned two days after that. Just for kicks, I would call the NVC today and give them your USCIS #. They should be able to tell you whether they've gotten your case file already. If they haven't, then wait until Monday or Tuesday and call again. Whenever they receive it, they will scan it and give it a case number. Once you get a case number, give them your email address and your spouse's. All communication with the NVC will be done through the phone or email, so make sure they have both of your emails.

2. My recommendation is that you send your DS-3032 as soon as you get your case number. This might save a you some time - I wasn't aware that I could send my DS-3032 as soon as I had the case number and I just waited until the form was generated, which was a waste of time. The way things are going with the NVC these days, it could take you more than two weeks to get your IV bill generated (which for some other people has happened a couple of days to a week after they have emailed their DS-3032).

Now, the DS-3032 is the Choice of Address and Agent form. The NVC accepts both the physical copy and the digital one, but you don't need to send both (although you can). If you do opt for the email, make sure you send it from the beneficiary's email address. LingChe's NVC Shortcuts has a pretty good template of what that email would look like so check it out (sorry, I can't post links yet apparently, but you should be able to do a search and find it without a problem), but no matter how you put it together, you will need to include all the information that the actual DS-3032 has. You could pretty much just transcribe the form into an email, and make sure that your email includes all the NVC info requirements :

* Name of the person submitting the inquiry

* NVC case number or USCIS receipt number

* Petitioner's name and date of birth

* Principal Applicant's name and date of birth

As far as other stuff that you could be doing while you wait, you and your spouse can get all the civil documents you will need to send eventually and prepare the Affidavit of Support. Get a co-sponsor if you need one, and make sure you get all the necessary paperwork from that person as well. I don't know if this is the case for everyone, but the generated DS-3032 came in along with the AOS bill (you can just ignore the DS-3032 at that point if you already emailed it). Anyway, check out LingChe's shortcuts as you keep moving forward and remember to take it a step at a time.. this stuff can get a bit overwhelming. But, if you have any questions, just ask!

So... if you can, call tonight and see what they say.. you might get some good news!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

Hey another question how long after Getting my case number should I send the DS-3032???

you can literally email it as soon as you get your case number. no need to wait! You will get the actual barcoded document whenever it's generated but it really makes no sense to wait. Did you call? Any news on your case number?

[chris and laura 7]

Yes my husband did!! So I will email it soon!! But do I need to creat a barcode and put it on the email?? Or just the case number??

You just need to email the information in the DS-3032 (you can use any of the templates available here, just type it in the search bar) from you email address. The emails are checked in they order they are received so I'd recommend emailing them today. No need to create a barcode, just make sure you write in the case number NVC assigned to you in the subject line of your email.
