guys i dont understand my timeline.. my case has had no prgress since it reached NVC

APRIL 19 -i130- approved by USCIS
APRIL 24- NVC receives i130 and case number assigned
UP TILL NOW nothing.. i keep gettin the message "ur nvc case number is xx and please allow 6-8 weeks for beneficiary to receive information"

am i doing something wrong? can i still go ahead and email ds3032 choice of agent even though the mesage says nothin about ds3032 being sent out?

and when i call to get my iin number i am unable to get through...if i do get it will i be able to pay online or wait unitl it says somethin in their automated system??

I read another post that said just to email them your choice of agent...don´t wait for the paper to show up. Or print it off yourself and send it in, but email is always fastest.

hyd617 our timelines are almost the same as NVC assigned us a case number on 25th of April 2008. My husband (USC) called NVC and spoke to the operator. Asked them for INVOICE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER or IIN. Once this was received both me and him would go to https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx and put in our information...The petitioner, then our Case number followed by IIN and we would be directed to the page where online payment can be made for AOS and IV Bill. If the status of AOS shows that it isn't ready to be paid then you can check back later. I had been checking it since we had received the IIN and only yesterday the bill was available for us to pay. Hubby paid it yesterday and it shows that it in IN PROCESS now. NOTE: The automated voice message at NVC is the same as before and only tells us our case number and that we should wait 6 days or week for the beneficary to receive DS-3032.

Also, yesterday I have emailed NVC my DS-3032.

Try Calling NVC and getting an IIN. It should work inshaAllaah.

Sara.

It could take up to 3 weeks to get the DS-3032 generated. It has happened to many people in the past.

I suggest you call NVC and get your IIN. In the meantime have the beneficiary email NVC the choice of agent. Don't wait to get anything in the mail. Call the automated system for a status. I noticed the automated system is 2 days behind. Best Wishes.

thanks fire! we will do just that...




thanks sara. i really appreciate your advise.. i wil try tom inshallah to get my iin number, and il keep checkin to see if i can pay online... and meanwhile il have my huby email choice of agent... tonight
thanks!! alot

My case also reached NVC over the weekend!!! SO HAPPY!!! I'll also e-mail my DS-3032 since it looks like there's no point of waiting for one to be generated. Also, do you guys still follow the NVC e-mail format listed in Jame's shortcut? or is there anything changed? or should be added to it?

congratulations desiboy!

we will be emailin by usin the JS method ..standard email...

hope we have a smooth journey!!

ok guys our ds3032 was emailed to NVC.. even though our automated voice mesage does not say anythin about ds3032.. i hope what we did was ok!! ??? im getin scared now. but lots of ppl emailed right as soon as they got their case number...

hyd617, thanks for the congrats. I see that you e-mailed the DS-3032, wish you all the best! I'm going to talk to the operator tomorrow and see what they say(I'll try to get the IIN from them if possible). If they say they'll be generating this week, then I'll wait otherwise I'll just e-mail them as well. I was reading up on DS-3032 and I'm a little confused now.

1. According to the NVC flowchart, it says the DS-3032 is sent to Petitioner and also to the beneficiary. Is that true?
2. If DS-3032 and AOS Bill is generated at the same time, does this mean we can pay AOS Bill before DS-3032 is generated? Looks like Sara has done this and it would be nice if that's the case.

Thanks in advance to everyone for your help!!

yup we paid a few min ago.. even thought we heard ntohin about ds3032, and yes the ds3032 is sent to both people..but you can also have it emailed... i think it takes a while for us to receive the ds3032 from them.. tom i will call to get my iin number, and see if ican get thru.. i will pay aos bill as soon as i can online, and i dont think you can pay aos bill until you send/email your ds3032.. i think i would wait to hear it was generated to pay, as soon as i hear ill pay..
maybe im wrong i dont know.. someone please coorect me if im wrong...
??

sometimes i get confused...

Great to hear about both of you making nice progress. I should point out though that I e-mailed DS-3032 around the same time my husband paid AOS bill online. We both received an Invoice of that bill stating that it is in Progress and would take 2-3 working days for it to generate. I will keep you guys posted if I hear any reply from NVC.

All the best to you both.

So did you pay AOS yet or not? Sorry got a little confused reading your first sentence then the rest of post

ooppss sorry i meant we emailed few min back lol

emailed the ds3032 choice of agent to NVC
tom (mon) i will call to get IIN number
dont know if i can pay online even if i get IIN number.. will have to wait and see if the AOS fee is available to pay online...





thanks SA L keep us posted..
we just emailed ds3032 right now..

but still the NVC message says plz allow 6-8 weeks for beneficiary to receive info...

i hope emailing was ok.. or was it too early?

i will calll tom to get iin number

Hello guys. I'd be interested in hearing if your DS3032 is accepted since it is not generated yet. NVC cannot accept anything until AFTER the generation has occured because they have no where to put the info. I accidently sent my DS3032 before generation because I read the shortcuts wrong and it was originally rejected. Took them about 4 days to tell me it rejected. However I sent the email the same day I received a case number. Hopefully you guys will not get a rejection, but I just want to point out...to anyone else looking at this thread that sending anything in BEFORE generation is a big no no with NVC. It can delay your case because it confuses them. Everything is scanned and automated at NVC so just sending an email without a scannable file that is ready for it may cause confusion an delays with your case.

It usually takes people around 2-4 weeks after the case number is assigned to start getting some action on their case. You are well within that limit so I'd just hold off for a bit. After DS3032 everything moves pretty fast anyways.

thanks marlita..i gues i made an ERROR!! haha, lets see if it gets accepted.. b.c i called this morning and its the same message ""please allow 6-8 weeks for beneficiary to receive info" my mesage has notchanged at all.. sincei got case number...

i gues il wait.. ya i am in timeline but everyone elses seems to be moving fast...

I think you might be ok there hyd617!! I called today and spoke with the operator and she told me that my DS-3032 and AOS Fee bill were generated today!!! Of course, I'll be e-mailing the DS-3032 today. BTW, I got shot down trying to the IIN.....she was talking nicely to me until I mentioned IIN. Oh well, I'll keep trying!

hey desiboy, how didu get thru to the operator.. i have been tryin all monring.. ive tried like 6 times already...i hope im ok with ds3032 im starting to freak out

but go ahead and email yours usin the james shortcut method.. its been updated.. good luck!!

I had to try about 4 times before it finally let me through.....tonight, I'm going to call them until I get my damn IIN number. BTW, did you get the automated NVC e-mail response after you sent the e-mail to them? I sent mine about 15 minutes and didn't get any reply yet.

yup i got mine about 30 min later, the automated email.. and i gues i will keep tryin..basically u entereed ur CIS number right, then hit 0 to talkto an operator right..

I tried that couple of times but then third and fourth time, I just pressed 5 when it tells you in the begining of the call (i.e. you press 1 for English and then press 5 to speak to the operator).

ok thankslet me try that again

BTW, I finally did get the NVC response. I guess it was around 30 minutes too.

I just tried calling the NVC (finally getting through) and my IIN number wasn't available yet. On the other hand though, my case was just entered into the NVC system on May 2nd.... so this could take a little while before I receive and additional information.

This is just a general question regarding the DS-3032. Why would someone already email the NVC when the DS-3032 hasn't been generated? Wouldn't this cause delays because if the paperwork hasn't been generated, then why would you submit the information now? Is it just better off to wait until I receive the message that the forms have been generated before having my beneficiary email the NVC to assign me as the agent.

Also, at this time will I be able to call the NVC to obtain my IIN number?

Thanks,

Przy

hi przy

i emailed last night, and just thru to nvc and she told me its ok, wait for the acceptance email.. for ds3032 by nvc..and as of today they generated aos bill she said so i can pay that once i receive it, but
she said i canot pay online and did notgive me my iin number...

and i emaield ds3032 b/c my message did not change for 10 days! i got worried and emailed them. but she said as of today they updated the message ( i still dont hear a change - she told me to give it few moremin they just updated it )

so im ok with ds 3032.. i would wait few more days for ur case to email..

The NVC updates it system every Monday with this type of information, but you won't hear it til Tuesday. So tomorrow when you call NVC you'll hear the new response. As far as sending the email early....Hyd yours really wasn't early since the generation happened today, but someone who sends their email a week or two before generation could cause a delay.

thanks marlita! i will listen to the mesage tues and see if it changed

i am unable to get my iin number, the operator said she dint have itn and i called 8 pm central time ...
il keep tryin
