DS3032 via email?

[ariest 0]

I've noticed a lot of members send their Choice of Agent and Address via email. How do you do that?

Just plain text in the body of an email (and what do you write then?) or attachement with the actual filled out form scanned?

What about your signature if it's sent through email?

Is this the correct email: nvcinquiry@state.gov?

How do you know NVC recieved and accepted it?

I would appreciate your responses!

We did something very similar to that described in the NVC timesavers (see the link in my sig). Ours went a little something like this:

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is BENEFICIARY and my visa case number is CASE_NUMBER

I have not received my DS-3032, but would like to appoint my husband as my agent of choice to receive all the correspondence from NVC. I have CCed both his individual email address and an email address that we jointly maintain.

His name and address is:

NAME

ADDRESS

ADDRESS

All mail from the U.S. Department of State concerning my immigration visa application for the case number listed above should be sent to him at the address above. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

BENEFICIARY

It was sent to NVCINQUIRY@state.gov and we received a response from the NVC in two days from the same address telling us to expect the IV Bill. Plain text, no attachments, no "real" signature. Seems like all you need to know is the case number and the name of the beneficiary. It probably helps to choose your spouse that's filed the petition. A bit scary in its simplicity... I guess that's why you need to keep your case number under your hat. Hope this helps. ttyl,

Thank you sooooo much for your reply!

Not a problem. We're thinking that we may have shaved about a week and a half off of the long track using this. We sent the email as soon as the hotline said the form was generated, and got a response a day after the forms actually arrived at my place. So yeah, hopefully it will help you too! ttyl,

Phirephly,

I am waiting for my case number. As of today, they don't have any record for my approved petition. They replied me that they already received my approved petition and on the process of assigning a case number and putting it on their computer system. Maybe tomorrow (Tuesday) I will get a case number, as usually it is assigned on Tuesday. I will follow the same route that you did for Choice of Agent.

Wow! NVC replied by email the next day. That was SOME shortcut! Thanks for advice!

Coz, G. Dubya said so!

Yeah, I would expect it's still a little early for your case number. The 20th or 27th would feel about right, judging by our timeline. Yes, I definitely recommend emailing for Choice of Agent. It looks like it worked even better for ariest than it did for me.

Someday they should automate all this stuff. It would be pretty easy and make life easier for them too. Why shouldn't we be able to just get an email that we have a case number that asks us to fill out the DS-3032 online? We could pay the AoS Fee Bill and IV Bills online using a US check or credit card with a Visa or Mastercard logo. The DS-230 and the I-864 might still need to be in paper form, or there might be a way to automate those too - or at least the DS-230. For those (like me) that need to send docs with the DS-230, once it's submitted, you get the address to which you send your docs. Most of this seems like it would be fairly trivial and would only improve the system for both them and us. In theory, you could get almost the entire NVC process done in one night! Oh well.

Next day? Wow. You're right that was fast. Now your IV Bill should be generated in about a week (if it matches our timeline). Kiss your $380 goodbye

How long did NVC take to reply to your email?

I e-mailed my choice of agent last week, got an automatic confirmation that they received the e-mail and said that they are going to process it. Haven't received any confirmation yet. Tomorrow (Tuesday) my wife will call them and see what's going on!

[dimp_123 0]

i choose to email DS3032 choice of address and agent form on 16th July and after calling nearly all last week got an email response that it was accepted! email them and snail mail just as a back up, it worked!

Just my 2 cents....

I did read few of our VJers friends sending an email for the DS3023- Choice of Agent. NVC is taking at least 7-14 days to respond to this request. I originally planned to email them, but since I got the feeling they are backed up, I sent them a trial email (not the DS3023, it has not generated yet)... this is my 14th day, but still no word from them. I have scanned an original document, which my husband signed and sent back to me. The barcode I generated following James' shortcut is already attached on the form, just waiting for the generated automated message to tell me so, and this DS3032 will be mailed next-day air. I can't take any chances, it's the BEST route for me right now.

I actually posted my concern on another thread... Good luck friends!

NVC will accept choice of agent email, if you email them after NVC generates choice of agent (DS 3032). If you email them before it is generated, then it will be ignored.

I just read that you emailed the NVC to get your case number.

I was wondering if you could explain what you said and where you sent it.

Any help would be greatly appreciate it
