1) Yes.

2) Yes.

Here's Christeen's time tested formula to get you through NVC in one piece alive:

Petitioner: Get NVC # + give operator your email IDs + receive AOS fee bill + pay 70$ online + wait to show paid + print cover sheet + send I-864 AOS with all documents and case # written on each page.

Beneficiary: Get NVC# + receive DS3032 + send DS3032+ DS3032 accepted + IV fee bill available to be paid + pay & wait to show paid + print IV cover sheet + mail DS230 package with all original/certified documents

= wait for case complete + wait for interview to be scheduled.

Hi there,

I am convinced it is better if your parter (who is a U.S. citizen) emails them. In any case that is what we did! Good luck and let us know if they got your case because they have not emailed us yet. We got approved on the 8th March :)

Again, unless you give your email addresses to a NVC operator, they will not email you anything.

If you're planning on playing the postal game, then, good luck to you. I doubt you'll find anything in your mail box before 2-3 months.

The DS3032 MUST be mailed from the beneficiary's email address as it their choice of agent being appointed.

K-1 and CR-1s process VERY differently at the NVC stage.

Congratulations on your approval.

Yes, you can call NVC but I suggest to have your husband to make the contact, better and faster to get through them.

Yes, they are the same.

Hi Scott and Irina! Congrats on your approval :dance: .

As far as I know...once our papers got approved at USCIS stage it will then forwarded to NVC and we can give them a call so we could get our NVC case number and give them out our email addresses so they can email us some forms.

My husband said he will be calling NVC on wednesday because he's busy at work. He asked me to try and call the NVC. Why not give it a try...I might get lucky! LOL.

My husband called the NVC last night and was able to speak to an operator after being on hold for 9 minutes. According to them...it will take 90 days to get our case number. Wow :o ! That's way too long or maybe they're just reading scripts tellin' everybody about the standard timeframe? :unsure:

Sachinky is right...and base on our case, we've got our MNL case# assigned few days after NVC received the package.

Keep on bugging them until they give you the case#...LOL!
