Hello,

We are getting ready for the next big step, the NVC. Just two questions:

A: Does it still hold true that the DS3032 and the AOS Fee Bill get generated the same day, usually on a Tuesday?

B: Has anyone experienced problems with James's shortcut recently?

Thank you,

Michigan

yea... same day.

we used the shorcuts with fab results!

A) Yes. They're sent in the same envelope to the USC. See the packet scans later in the shortcuts thread. I don't think that the Tuesday rule still applies anymore. It seems that I'm getting different information on different days of the week and someone recently told me that he received his case number on a non-Tuesday.

Not yet, but I'm not to a point where they would be relevant since I had my wife email our DS-3032. I didn't worry about his shortcut for the AoS Fee Bill since that's the faster track anyways. I think there are a few things that have been updated for the AoS Fee Bill. ttyl,
