I E-Mailed the Choice of Agent

[Traviesa 0]

We actually aren't in a hurry. I just did it that way to save money. My husband doesn't know how to download anything so I would have had to actually send him by courier the copy of the DS-3032 that I received, have him sign it and send it by courier back to me (so he didn't screw anything up), then I would have to courier it to the NVC. That's a lot of money that I thought we might be able to save by e-mailing it.

This morning the NVC told me that they are supposed to answer those e-mails within 5 business days and if we hadn't received any response we needed to send it again. So I'm just going to send it again. Hopefully it works this time-if not I guess we have to go the expensive route.

Yes, you can do that. You should mention that you already mailed the choice of agent email before. Or if you have saved the choice of agent email on the "sent" folder, I would forward that email to NVC and write down the info again. I still think you will get the reply of your Ist email any day.

Heck it's awful all this mailing back and forth... My IV bill was generated 2 weeks ago tomorrow - but the UK mail strike means it's in a backlog somewhere (hopefully !)

about time the NVC sorted this awful system out so it can be done on line or by visa card.

This email system for agents forms is a bit slack security wise actually and i am surprised we get away with it... we should be able to phone for a case PIN number after answering lots of security questions - then using the PIN number we could fill in the agent forms etc on a secured site in real time and pay the visa fees instantly by credit card... no mail no nothing... this is taking me weeks and weeks and is so risky....

There's one problem with that solution...it makes too much sense. It would never fly.

Heina, have you heard anything back yet? We've emailed the Agent of Choice the same day and I haven't heard anything yet.

Excellent ! it feels good does it not !

It starts to move now - not as fast as you like but you will feel you are on the move !

Mine was 2 weeks since today - still waiting for IV bill - hope it will be this morning - mail strike backlog permitting

Hoping for 485 form to be generated today too... next few hours will see

but any way you must be very pleased because THINGS ARE MOVING AT THE NVC !!! HOORAY !!!

No they still haven't responded to us. I re-sent the e-mail yesterday so hopefully we'll hear something by the end of the week.

I agree - I sent em about 4 and they responded to them within 4 days - including my faxed change of address - then we faxed Carolyn's change of address and asked for an email reply but didnt get it... so they are not infallible but they will reply to the follow up ..yes

i only just got mine, see my timeline, its pretty normal

yes it varies a lot with their workload - i got mine in 3 days and my fax re change of address was 4 days - but carolyn's fax re change of address has been 7 and counting

All these emails are handled by a little old lady called Edna and her cat is sick at the moment - she has to keep taking mornings off to take it to the vet's surgery

I hear that the cat is much improved and she should be back at work full time soon...

LOL! I like your sense of humour, classic

Life is stranger than anything I can invent - that's why I know I am not insane ! haha he-he-ho-ho

Actually they have problems with rats and the staff will not go into the office where the email terminal is - the union is having low-key discussions with the management and the military are supplying nerve gas to get rid of the rats. Normal email service will be resumed Monday after the gas clears..

Don't encourage me !

Oh dear, I actually thought you were serious..too funny.....but what's that say about me?......lol..
