Hi everyone. DS-3032 for my son is still not processed although I've emailed it 10 days ago (please see my signature). I called NVC multiple time already, they say to wait. I should have express-mailed DS-3032 besides emailing it, but I was told that email should be faster and decided not to bother with mailing hard copies. On the other hand, I-864s for son and wife were processed by NVC in just 1 day. Slow DS-3032 processing is the only thing holding both cases now, this is very annoying. DS-3032 is the simplest of all NVC forms and less important one, they should accept DS-3032 over the phone but they refuse to do it. Anyone knows if they process hard copies of DS-3032 faster than email or slower?

if i were u i will send hard copy via fedex and wait, there is nothing else u can do, goodluck abby n sheryl

Our time line for CR1 visa took only 5 months and 1 week or 156 days; from the filing the I-130 on the 03-12-2009 to Approval of NOA2 on the 05/13/2009, then Interview on the 08/18/2009 at Manila, Philippines. We had a daughter on the 11-12-2010 named AISHA JOY means HAPPY LIFE.a1_opt-1.jpga2_opt-1.jpga3_opt-1.jpg

From signatures of some members here I see that it takes about 2 weeks on average for DS-3032 email to be processed. If I knew it beforehand I'd email DS-3032 as soon as NVC case # was assigned, I wouldn't wait for DS-3032 to be generated.

my wife emailed our ds3032 on august 05 and NVC still have not processed it, I called them and talked to them they told me that I can submit my I184 so I sent it express mail yesterday along with a copy of our DS3032, this is the only thing holding us up :angry:

My wife you are simply beautiful and perfect for mehttp://da.daisypath.com/w3wlm4.png

I would say hard copy is approved faster than an e-mail, but since you already sent e-mail 10 days ago, don't waste money on expensive express mail. We did the same. I e-mailed my DS-3032, then we waited and have been calling NVC but nothing and 12 days later hubby mailed the hard copy. Our DS-3032 (e-mailed version) was approved on the 14th day. So, my advice, just wait few more days and it will be approved :):thumbs:

I see you have 2 cases, but you could keep track of them both in ur signature and create a VJ TIMELINE (ADD/EDIT) for ur wife's case. :time:

Thank you and good luck :thumbs:

Hey u know what i sent my DS3032 via email on 6th aug and its still not processed.

I've mailed I-864 package already and it was processed in just 1 day, see my signature. I'll have all the DS-230 documents ready by Friday, these freaken DS-3032 forms are the only thing holding the case back! They schedule interviews on the 2nd week of every month, I want to be in time for September. If I only knew about this whole email situation before, damn! Why they just don't automate the whole Agent Selection thing with online form or something like that? That's a good case for Government inefficiency here, and now they want to run health care?!

Anyhow, please post here when your email is finally processed.

You are 3 days ahead of me, was your wife's DS-3032 email processed already? The slowness of NVC email processing drives me nuts. But hey, after all, these guys are actually pretty fast next to USCIS - it takes months for those dudes to process a simple paper!

hey my hubby is the USC and my petitioner.Am in India and I will call again on tues to check the status.However my hubby os checking the online payment to see if the IV bill becomes ready to pay.

I know this is really frustrating coz we held up coz of the simplest form.However i agree that NVC is fast ...USCIS was slow but we have to agree that we are here coz of USCIS(atleast they finally approved our case)

Will keep in touch in this journey.

Unbelievable! If I only knew it takes so long! In all resources I've read they say it's faster to email DS-3032 than to mail a hard copy.

I've been calling them every day :) When calling NVC waiting time is almost non-existent, unlike calling USCIS. They all say the same: wait, we will process it, we have large volume of email, etc. I have complete DS-230 packages ready to go, this stupid Choice of Agent thing is the only thing holding both my cases.

What emails? I have a wife AND an infant son living in Russia, what other proof do they need? I'm flying there 3 times a year and I'm totally sick of living like that. US immigration laws are inhuman, period! I hate them!
