We sent ours by email last week and it was accepted the next day. just be sure to type everything including the subject line as per the wiki! They will accept it just fine for ya!

I wouldn't worry about it too much.. The worst that will happen is that you will receive an email saying they cant assign an agent yet. And then you will have to resend it later!

Agree with redtalent!!!

Ours got the same auto response and then the next day we received the email confirming that they received it and assigned me as agent! At first I felt like maybe I left out some info and got scared but nope it was just fine!

Just got our case number and IIN!! Also sent in DS230. Rolling along now!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Did you send in the DS230 or the DS3032? The assignment of agent form is the DS3032.. just making sure you sent the correct one! Also it seems as though you need to wait until you get the email from the NVC with your case # and such before sending the DS3032 otherwise they will not be able to process it!

Mine never got touched at all before I received my approval. The web says they are processing late May filers though so it can't hust to call and make sure there isn't a problem with your case. Otherwise you should be getting soem good news very soon!

Our DS-3032 was accepted by NVC on friday 8/26 ... Just patiently waiting to be able to pay our IV fee. I dont usually see much NVC action on mondays but it would be great if they could kindly invoice that for me today! Should have all packets mailed to NVC by Friday! WOO HOO!!!

I did call and play dumb like I didnt know what I am supposed to do next and the lady said I have done everything right and since the DS-3032 was accepted last Friday that at some point today or tomorrow the IV bill will be generated! Thanks NVC!

I am sending mine together too... I kinda think sending them seperately has caused unnecessary false RFE's for some. I have looked at many timelines during my wait and those who send them seperate seem to take longer to get processed than the ones that send them together. I could be all wrong but just in case I am sending them together. Also I dont want to pay for two overnight envelopes!

We sent ours as just a regular email also... Not as an attached PDF file. Here is what I put...

Email:

I had my hubby send this email the same day that we reveived our email from NVC giving us our case# and AOS fee info. Ours was then accepted and I was assigned his agent 3 days later!!!

We sent our DS-3032 on the 25th also and received the email confirming that they accepted it yesterday. I paid our AOS bill on 08/25/2011 and my status updated to "PAID" online yesterday. You should see the site update and allow you to print today!

Ok thanks Ryan! Sending transcripts only then!!!

GO GEORGIA!!! Build it up! You have beautiful land and should show it off!

Jealousy is a terrible disease... Get well soon Russians!

You can call the IRS and they have an automated system that will allow you to request them to be mailed to you. the number is (800) 908-9946. I received mine in the mail about 5 days after I requested them!

Saylin or anyone else familiar... I am sending in my tax returns from the past 3 years along with my official tax transcripts. Do I need to send in my W2's also?

QUICK QUESTION FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS...

When submitting my I-864 I have attached my employment letter, six months pay stubs, the last 3 years tax returns from H&R Block, 3 years official tax transcripts. Do I need to send in my W2's also? I read some who sent those in but it doesn't appear to be a requirement???

My AOS bill has been updated to "PAID" as of last night... I have everything printed and ready and am going to the post office to mail it right now! Now just waiting for the IV bill to show up so we can print that barcoded sheet and mail! Moooving right along!

We are buying a two way ticket too! And when he gets here we will call the airline and tell them he is staying longer and to give us an open ended ticket.. usually like $150.00 charge... then we can go back to visit next summer

I talked to my hubby on lunch break and he is so excited! He had received all the emails too but they took about 6 hours longer to get to him lol. He said GO PAY FEES!!! I laughed and told him I did that 7 hours ago lol!

He did receive an auto response about the DS-3032 saying they received the email.. but not necessarilly that they have accepted it. Wow so much progress in just a few days it seems!

ok if it says its not eligible yet then they haven't invoiced them yet. Kinda strange because you received your case number a few days ahead of mine. My hubby's country doesnt do electronic processing so maybe there is a few days delay while they set up EP for you??

I had tried to log in this morning and got SIF but then I got an email from them about 10min later saying the fee was ready to be paid and then I could sign in. Be on the lookout for an email!!!

Anytime! I am going through this same process right now so keep an eye on my posts and you should be able to follow right along!

Also find Dave and Kinnari as he is awesome and I believe he is filing for a India spouse too so he might be able to help ya with the country specific aspects of this too!

Well I mean as far as the IV fee being ready to be paid. Do you think that could be ready to be paid this week? Or will that take some more time? Because I think that them receiving the DS-3032 will prompt them to enter what need to be done for the IV fees right???

For you to correct the address just call them at the number I listed for you. Update the address with the operator.

In my signature where I typed "Able to log in" that is in reference to the NVC Payment Portal. Go to... https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/Signon.aspx?node=Signon

Once there you will select "Petitioner" and then type in your case # and IIN which were on that email you got. This will open the payment site and that is where you will be able to pay those fees

When you log in is it pulling a red message that says it is not available for further processing? Or has that already happened and now you are able to log in again and see the fee amounts there?

Mine was there but showing NOT INVOICED... then I could not sign in for 2 days... then today I received the email telling me the fees are ready. When I logged back in they were there and I paid them. Also make sure you are using Internet Explorer and not Mozilla Firefox or Safari or anything else. Only IE will allow the payment buttons to be used!

It will not take any more time... just call the 603-334-0700 number.. hit 1 then 5 for operator. Then give them the correct information! Or you can email a request to NVCINQUIRY@STATE.GOV!

I received a series of emails this morning from the NVC. The first on just confirmed that I was eligible for further processing. I tried to log in but still got SIF. Then I got another email saying that they have accepted our DS-3032 email that we sent just yesterday morning. Then one more email saying that my AOS fee was ready to be paid. Tried logging in again and BAM... Paid it and received my confirmation emails.

Am I silly to think that since they accepted our DS3032 today that it could be ready to be paid before the weekend?

I could be finished with this whole deal by end of next week! YAY!

THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!!

You will probably be receiving emails today. We have about the same timeline. I received 3 total emails from them this morning and was finally able to pay the fees. I tried to log in as soon as I got to work and it was SIF still but about 20 min later i received the email and was able to log in and pay!!! Today is the day buddy!!!!
