I don't know if anyone else has made this mistake but I wanted to point it out so nobody else makes the same error. When sending emails to the NVC Do Not capitalize NVCinquiry@state.gov because you will not get an auto reply. For the past week I've been on the phone with reps at the NVC telling me they weren't going to receive the email if I wasn't receiving an auto reply and today I even spent $20 mailing them a physical copy of my passport to correct the Date of Birth error they made. After emailing from separate computer and email accounts to no avail, I decided to write the email in lower case nvcinquiry@state.gov and I received an immediate auto reply. The Visa Journey Wiki page has the entire email capitalized NVCINQUIRY@state.gov which I didn't try so maybe its either all capitals or lower case but I believe that the reason none of my emails went through to the NVC was because I wrote the email as NVCinquiry@state.gov which didn't produce an auto reply when written this way.

You only get the reply if you write it all lower case. We sent both and got the autoreply, but they never actually bothered to send us the case number. Called yesterday and found out it was forwarded to the embassy 3 days ago.

strange because I sent both ways too and didnt get any auto reply..

well if they dont answer anyways we will have to try calling.

thanks for your reply :)
