First off : On the subject have your NVC Case number GUZXXXXXX - Corrections

" If I were you I would do this "

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please disregard my previous email.

Thank you

Regards,

Your Name

The DS3032 form is found online. You don't have to ask them if you can submit it online. It should be available to you once you pay that AOS fee I believe. Once you send it online, again put your case number on the subject line, you can check with NVC in two business days just to confirm that they got the email.

Since every thing is online you really don't have to mention about you/your wife staying in Canada. As far as interview goes - you will have to speak to a live person on that matter. Hope this helps!

Good Luck

Call the NVC and speak to an operator, if the operator can't do anything, speak to a supervisor. Explain the situation and that you need to have the file redirected to Montreal. Others can give you a definitive answer, but once you successfully have the file redirected, the case number should change so it begins with MTL.

1. get on a telephone.

2. call into NVC.

3. Ask for a Supervisor

and then

Tell NVC Supervisor the casefile was incorrectly tagged to go to GUZ IV - instead; you need it to go to MTL IV - please rehome the casefile to MTL IV.

Besides, could you tell me how long it will take for NVC to reassign my case to Montreal, Canada after NVC makes the decision that my wife is qualified to have an interview in Canada.

call into NVC and tell them to review your email, twice a day, until they can find it.

Once they find it, they will add it to the casefile.

Once it's added, a decision will be made on re-homing the IV unit from Guangzhou to Montreal

and then

you'll get a new case # issued, starting with MTL.

Use The TelePhone, oh, lets say tonight circa 10 PM EST.

then again twice a day , following the pattern above.
