/bad ENGLISH!!

they just got excited niki. she is asking if she wants to have same medical schedule with her. to allan-nhez sister we had to address in english because our co vj dont understand in taglish ( tagalog-english). ?

ok.. sorry guys.. @ luisa yes we have the same timeframe.. u know what our case was sent to NRC after they got approved.. we have been waiting for 116days for our case to sent it to NVC..

I still haven't gotten the optin acceptance email yet and when I called to ask if the DS-261 has been added to our case yet, she suggested that I try resending it. Has anyone had success resending the EP optin email, or should I just wait it out for the first one to get accepted?

Also, I just now realized that I probably shouldn't have emailed the AOS packet in without the optin acceptance email yet (oops, a little over eager), so am I going to have to resubmit that once I do get the acceptance?

Keep in mind, the optin email is for EP. The DS-261 is part of online forms. Two different things.

Someone else just PM'd me actually about not getting an optin acceptance email either and it had been a week if I remember correctly. NVC may have just gotten a backlog for optin emails.

And yeah, you may want to send the AOS package again when the optin is accepted. That's what I had to do. Although, to do this day, I don't know which package they reviewed: from my first email or the second time after I had received the optin acceptance email.

You're missing the child's police certificate. And I'm not sure if this is 100% needed in IR-2 cases, but it may be a good idea to submit a certified copy of you and your husband's marriage certificate.

You can of course request that the case be completed and that the correct birth certificate will be presented at the time of the interview. Is it guaranteed to get your request approved? Of course not. But it never hurts to try.

I know they're separate, I was just calling about the DS-261 and figured I'd ask her about the optin as well! I'll wait a few more days I guess and then if I still don't get the acceptance, I'll go ahead and send another.

I guess I just hadn't read anything that told me specifically not to send it before getting the optin acceptance, and I saw your timeline with the package sent before acceptance, so I sent it.Then I started seeing everyone's timelines showing they submitted it all after, so I figured I was wrong! Oh well, I guess it can't really hurt me at this point, so I'll just count on emailing the AOS package again later.

Thank you, as always!

Sorry, the way you worded the post, it sounded like you should re-send the DS-261 based on not being accepted into the EP program yet.

I'd say that if you don't hear back by Monday morning, send another one, but use the DS-3032 trick from the FAQ on post 2.

Well, over the last 2 years (after I had gone through the process), optin acceptance emails took considerably less time, usually just a week. Which was well before one is able to email the AOS package, so it didn't become a problem. But, if NVC is slowing down again to similar times as when I went through, well, it then becomes an issue. But, like I said, once you get the optin acceptance, just re-send the AOS package. No big deal. That's what I did.

Thanks Saylin,

Oops, sorry! Should have worded it a bit differently. Thanks for your help, hopefully I hear something soon!

Based on your signature, this looks like it's referring to the additional information you send in on your AOS package. Nothing to worry about.

I suggest resending the OPT IN email with added text of 'supervisor review' with the normal subject line.
