How do I know if the DS-3032 has been accepted?

We sent the DS-3032 through email. We got an automated reply. Then, last Monday, we also received an email:

However, until now, I still don't have the IV bill.

You should get an acceptance of your DS-3032 email. Also, the IV bill will be invoiced after the DS-3032 is accepted. You might have sent the DS-3032 too early, so you can try sending the DS-3032 by email again.

The AOS and IV have NOTHING to do with each other. They're both separate tracks.

You can try emailing the DS-3032 now. But they might not accept it until they're ready for correspondence. How to know when they're ready? When they email you (if you gave over the email addresses of both petitioner and beneficiary) the initial information package which contains your case number, IIN, and an expired DS-3032.
