Opt-in for EP?

[2 canucks 12]

Just paid the IV fee, waiting for the AOS to be invoiced and the IV to be shown as paid. We want to do EP, but by what the operator at NVC said, she didn't mention anything about an opt-in emai when i asked about itl. Do I still need to send that in? from both mine and the beneficiary's email addresses? Can I do that now? TIA!

You don't need to do that anymore. Just scan the forms and documents and email them as a PDF file to the designated NVC email address for EP.

awesome. The IV and AOS together as one package email, or separate? Sorry so many questions... I pour over this stuff so much to prepare and then my brain goes a little crazy with all the what-ifs from conflicting information when the time comes. Thank you so much!

The packages will need their own PDF file.

I will say separate emails sent on the same day within a few minutes of each other.

If someone who has utilized EP recently comes along and says it's ok to send the two packages attached to the same email, then go ahead and do that.

Hi! I sent my docs all in one single email. It seems the more emails you send, the more confusing it gets as far as scan dates go. NVC requests that you send everything at one time all together (at least that is how I understand their instructions).

All you have to do is label the PDFs as per the NVC website instructions and ensure that each attachment is less than 5MB in size. Include everything they ask for in the list on the website and you should be fine. You don't have to differentiate between AOS and IV, I didn't and they were fine with it.

Be sure to use your case # as subject line of the email, and I just put in the body of the email the petitioner's name, date of birth and email address, the same info for the beneficiary, and what was included as attachments. Good luck!!
