Hi Everyone,

We sent our i-130 in about two months ago and hadn't heard anything until today when we got two emails. The emails had a message about the attachments only being for the named but the attachments (both pdfs) were blank when I tried to open or download them.

Please help!

The attachments were:

1) CSBxxxxxxxxxx (PAOSF I-130 FOR NEOPOST DS-1200)

and

2) CSBxxxxxxxxxx (ACL FOR NEOPOST DS-1200)(CC)

I'm assuming that the CSB # is our case number, but what were the attachments? Will they resend them?

What should we do now? We're excited to have heard something but at a loss as to what to do next. Thank you.

I got the same thing today (except mine was for AIVF FOR NEOPOST DS-1200). I emailed them about it but have not gotten a reply other than their automated message.

other info - I'm using PDF Converter Enterprise 7.1, and I tried opening it from Firefox and IE but no luck.

It sounds like a mistake on their end or your PDF viewer is not up-to-date or your trying to open it with Google chrome and its giving you problems.

I would call the office center where u filed to hear about ur status,make sure u have ur file #.

I tried to open it with chrome, then with Adobe, then with Thunderbird. All the same result. Nada. We filed at the Chicago Drop Box, so I'm not real sure who we would call, this is the first we've heard back from them.

Still, very happy to hear back at all.

That's a relief, if it happened with more than one of us, it certainly is a mistake on their end and hopefully they will resend.

I received the "blank emails" as well today.

You all will be glad to know that I called and spoke to a rep.

He said that they have acknowledged that the batch of email that they sent today was corrupt and will be sending out new emails as soon as they resolve the issue.

Kaizen. Thank you so much. That is a huge relief.

Oh my... looks like almost everyone of us are receiving corrupted or empty PDFs from NVC!! We were having problems opening it too and later we will call and let them resend again.. They really should fix their system. Waiting too long plus too much delay equals :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

The PAOSF and ACL emails are the AOS fee invoice and the DS-3032 (one addressed to the petitioner, the other to the beneficiary.) The AIVF is the IV fee. Try checking your NVC portal, you should be able to pay the fees even without reading what's in the PDF attachments.

It seems that we need the invoice number in order to pay and that was in the corrupted attachment. :(

You can call NVC to ask for your invoice identification number.
