Here's what you need to do first. You need to go read VJ guides. http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_bring_your_foreign_spouse_to_live_in_the_US Read it 20 times tonight.

For now, I assume you have your NVC case number. You goal is to obtain the Invoice Identification Number. You can wait for NVC to mail/email you the IIN or you can call NVC and beg them to give you the IIN. Let's say you called and got your IIN. You go over to http://ceac.state.gov/ctrac. Using your NVC case number and IIN, you can log in to this site. Then you will see two things. AOS and IV. It will probably show the status "Not Invoiced." You can't do sh** until you AOS or IV is invoiced. When they are invoice (at the same time or or one at a time,) pay the fee. Wait for the STATUS to show PAID. When that happens, you can print the cover-sheet for each of these things and mail the package along with supporting documents.

Meanwhile, I'm sure you have emailed NVC your DS3032 using the VJ format. If you haven't, do it right now. At this very instant. It is believed that your fees (AOS and IV) won't be invoiced until NVC has your DS3032 in file. I don't believe this but you need to finish up the DS3032 business right away. As soon as you have your NVC case number.

Hello. How did you know that NVC recieved your uscis docs. Did you call an listen to the automated message or talked to a person at NVC.

After you get your NOA2, wait about 7 days. Then start calling NVC everyday. Don't bother trying to reach a person. Just used the AVRS with your USCIS case number. You will continue to hear "NVC has no record of your case" until NVC has assigned a case number. When NVC has assigned a case number, you will hear, "The case number assigned by NVC is da... ra... ra... ra..." Immediately, hang up and call back again. This time you want a human being. When you get a human, give them your email address. And your beneficiary's email also. Tell them to email you stuff instead of snail-mail. Hang up when done and email NVC your DS3032. You can use this guide to help you along with eerything: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_bring_your_foreign_spouse_to_live_in_the_US

Within what time frame should I expect a response, automated or otherwise?

If you have sent your DS3032 in the attention of Sue, you should expect a reply in 7-8 hours. If you haven't, you probably won't hear anything for two weeks or so.

[TtownDude 1]

No set time frames with NVC. I would think within 2 days given your time line. Again, send one email now (with the ATTN: SUE sub) and hopefully, you should get a response in 15 hours or so. If you haven't heard from them during that time frame, send another one after 15 hours.

Also, remember that NVC is closed tomorrow for Veteran's day and no action could be taken.

please if you already fill the Ds 230 would you mind anwering to me some questions, I will fax it tomorrow to the embassy.

1. in the 1st question family name, Do I print my maiden name or my married name?

2. 14th ro 17th questions, does it referred to my husband's infprmation

3. father's and mother's info refers to mu parents or his ( I know those are silly questions, but I dont want to make mistakes)

4. Finally, Should i write in capitals or just in normal and the first letter in capital.

I know some of those questions may be seen as logical but I want to make sure everything is ok,

Thanks In advance for your answers.

Thanks In advance for your answers.

1. You put whatever is your current, legal, factual family name. You being the beneficiary.

2. Yes. Q14 to Q17 are about your spouse. Your husband in this case. I'm assuming you are the beneficiary and filling out the DS230 for yourself.

3. Beneficiary's mother and father.

4. You should be typing these in black ink, all caps. If you're writing, write legibly and in all-caps.

[TtownDude 1]

1. in the 1st question family name, Do I print my maiden name or my married name? --> It should be how the beneficiary's name appears in the passport

2. 14th ro 17th questions, does it referred to my husband's infprmation --> Yes, if he is the sponsor

3. father's and mother's info refers to mu parents or his ( I know those are silly questions, but I dont want to make mistakes) --> beneficiary's parents ( asssuming you are the beneficiary, yours)

4. Finally, Should i write in capitals or just in normal and the first letter in capital. -> you can fill the form online and print it or you can write it in caps. I think first letter in caps and rest normal will also work.

How do you do the DS3032 if you're using an attorney? email version of the template letter.? do you include the beneficiary, petitioner and lawyer (agent of record)?

[mari0711 4]

Thanks for the tip on the ATTN to Sue -- sent it off again just now (~16:30 US Eastern) with your suggested subject line plus the addition of a scan of the original DS-3032 letter (unsigned, as it's in the US and we're in Peru). Will update w/ results when I see them.

[TtownDude 1]

In that case, the lawyer will become the agent and the DS3032 will not be generated.

Read the below link to understand the process better,

Wow -- that was impressive... Only 25 minutes after sending ATTN: SUPERVISOR SUE I received a response!

You will likely get a respond by the end of the working day OR within 2 - 3 days. I believe the NVC is overloaded at the current time.

If you type this in your subject line:

ATTN: PI SUPERVISOR SUE - CASE NUMBER BENEFICIARY NAME - BENEFICIARY DATE OF BIRTH.

Thats how we've been addressing it - and have been told several times when at the nvc stage to include the 'PI' in the subject line. Whether it matters in the end, I cant say, but thats the 'official' line anyway. I really dont think it does.

[TtownDude 1]

Congrats !

Now, work on getting your AOS and IV packet ready. It usually takes 2 to 3 business days for IV to be shown "PAID".

Wow -- that was impressive... Only 25 minutes after sending ATTN: SUPERVISOR SUE I received a response!
