    If you think you are not eligible to apply online then yes you have to send DS3032 and you can email to NVCINQUIRY@state.gov. See this link for email format:
    http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Email_DS-3032_form
    Remember, you have to send this email to NVC from beneficiary's email account not from the petitioner's email. If beneficiary's email account is not in the NVC system then call NVC and tell them to add beneficiary's email. Good Luck.
    Also, check this link: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/439000-nvc-filers-july-2013/. Though it is meant for IR1/CR1 members, the process is same for F2A as well. You can get lot of information from here too.

    You are not correct.
    Your wife is not required to file US tax returns because she had no income and therefore was not required to file.
    As a non-resident non-citizen who earned his money outside the US, you are not required to file US tax returns. Marriage to a US resident does not matter.
    You can volunteer to pay US taxes if you want. I wouldn't do that.
    Your wife does not need income tax returns for your immigration. Even if she files, she cannot meet the poverty line and you would need a co-sponsor.

    Hi Guys
    .Here is how to call NCSC
    How to prepare for your call?
    Before calling the NCSC please have available
    - your receipt number:
    - alien registration number:
    - type of application filed:
    - date filed:
    - Online case status:
    - Processing times applying to your case type
    - Check your priority date (if applicable)
    - Have all relevant correspondence with USCIS (NOA1)


    How to talk to a live person at USCIS?
    Contact the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283.
    Call early in the morning (8.00 am)

    Option 1: Then dial 1, 2, 6, 2, 4 (exact sequence). Use these options every time you are prompted.
    (You can also try - 1 - 2 - 1 - Case Number - 1 - 3 - 3 or 4)

    Option 2: Call USCIS and Do not press anything (don't choose a language). They will think you have a rotary phone and will transfer you directly to a live person.

    Option 3: Don't don’t choose the number for “case status”, but do different ones instead (for example “RFE”; “expedite your case”, …)

    Option 4: Military Help Line: 1-877-CIS-4MIL (1-877-247-4645); Members of the military and their families may call to receive assistance with immigration-related questions.

    If they speak Spanish just say English please. Now you can ask what you want.

    What to ask them?
    During your call we recommend that you take note of the following information:

    About them:
    - The name of the NCSC representative:
    - The id number of the NCSC representative:
    - The date and time of the call:
    - Any service request referral number, if a service referral on a pending case is taken:

    About our case:
    - When calling, ask them for a service request.

    In case they refuse or tell you that they cannot answer your question, then ask to be transferred to a Tier 2 ISO (Immigration Service Officer) supervisor, who will have more privileges to access detailed information about your case. Once you get an ISO, be very polite, and take notes for your records. Ask them for their badge number. That way you can reference each conversation by date and the badge number of the ISO.
    Also ask them to review case status - THEY can - it's on their screen.
    If the NCSC doesn’t issue a service request, please make sure the NCSC representative tells you the reason why he did not issue the request. (This information you'll need to follow up)
    - Some of the standard questions:
    1) Name check Status?
    2) Background Check Status?
    3) Has it been assigned to an officer?
    4) When can I expect to get some updates on my case?
    5) Can you help me with a ball park date on when my case will be assigned to an officer?
    6) What dates are they currently working on?
    Of course, we are aware of the standard response we get.

    The NCSC operates on a two-tier model.
    Tier 1 Customer Service Representatives (CSRs):
    Can
    • Relay basic immigration information to customers through scripts provided by USCIS
    • Answer questions about USCIS forms
    • Transfer calls to Tier 2 in certain circumstances
    Cannot
    • Answer specific questions about a case with the exception of information available through Case Status Online
    • Transfer calls to local offices or service centers where cases are pending
    • Provide legal advice

    Tier 2 Immigration Service Officers (ISOs):
    Can
    • Review USCIS systems on your case
    • Request that notices be re-issued
    • Provide information that you may receive at an Infopass appointment
    • Provide specialized assistance to dependents or active members of the U.S. Armed Forces
    • Provide information on pending and adjudicated cases.
    Cannot
    • Review already issued Requests for Evidence (RFEs)
    • Directly issue duplicate notices, receipt notices, RFE notices
    • Transfer calls to local offices or service centers
    • Provide legal advice

    Service Requests
    Both Tiers 1 and 2 can create a “service request” which is sent to service centers and local offices on matters such as expedite requests, change of address, appointment rescheduling, case processing delays which exceed the posted times, and other matters that may be unique to a specific case.
    6 I hope that someone will serve
