I still haven't received a response from the first or second e-mails. When I still haven't heard anything on Tuesday I guess I will call them again and see what they suggest.

Heina you should call em as soon as possible - I have always found them helpful--also can you fax them too ? ...

If you have windows xp you can do it from your computer ?

i did for change of address and they actioned it and emailed a confirmation

enough is enough and iot's time for you to bombard them nicely

good luck with it - alan

I sent the Choice of Agent email on June 26, and received a reply indicating that they'd accepted the choice of agent on July 6. Certainly longer than we were expecting, although still less time than it would take for the letter to reach India. The email read,

Dear Sir,

NVC
has received the Agent of Choice selection. The Immigrant Visa

Application (DS 230) processing fee bill will be sent to the designated

agent on the case. The fee must be paid according to the instructions

before that form will be sent. Please allow two to four weeks for the

designated agent to receive this fee bill.

Anyone have any idea how long it will take for the IV Bill to arrive?

Thanks,

I'd wait until tomorrow morning. When I first called to see about the DS3032 / Aos Bill I called late Monday night. Nothing, nada, zilch. I was a bit bummed. I then called on my way in to work and got a nice surprise.

Tuesday morning might be the day for you! :)

I just called the NVC and the lady told me that it's 5-10 business days for them to respond to e-mails and our first e-mail from June 21 must have gotten "lost." :blink: So I ask what my other options are and she says we can just send a letter. None of this would be an issue if I were able to forge my husband's signature but it's too complicated lol!
