In my case, it is definately STAY mad!

Wish we could get everyone to stop looking for touches--just another case of bein gout of sync with reality--to EVERYONE--stop looking for touches--best case it drives you mad--worst case you stay mad

Hypotheticaly, if EP and attached to an email, CAN it be a ZIP File?

A week AFTER my NOA2 was received by NVC (still no case #), my file was 'touched' and status date changed at USCIS. Why would they be 'touching' my file at USCIS a full week after they sent it/it was received at NVC?

Thanks,

Heather

NVC will accept a ZIP file with s download link from Google Docs? Can someone who has actually done this and had it accepted plz confirm?

Thanks,

Heather

You still need the barcode with EP?

Your emailed appointment letter IS the 'official' letter for EP.

plz, plz, plz update your timeline, as your numbers will effect the averages and projections.

Thanks,

Heather

What/where is 001?

Chris:

Plz take a minute and update your timeline.

Thanks,

Heather

Hi Everyone:

I have something confused. I wonder this is my P4

Dear XXX

The enclosed information pertains to XXXX interest in immigrating to the United States of

America. The National Visa Center (NVC) has completed its processing of XXXXX petition, case

number GZO2011XXXXX; and forwarded it to the American Embassy/Consulate in GUANGZHOU

ELECTRONIC.

An immigrant visa interview has been scheduled for the applicant at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate in

GUANGZHOU ELECTRONIC on October 11, 2011 at 12:30 pm.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read and follow all Interview Preparation Instructions located on the Department of State's web site

at: www.ImmigrantVisas.state.gov, under the "Prepare for your visa interview abroad" link.

Important information regarding the required medical appointment is listed on this site. Failure to read

and promptly follow all instructions provided on this site will result in your immigrant visa being refused

at the initial interview.

Upon arrival at the Embassy/Consulate, the applicant should present this letter to the receptionist.

Those members of the applicant's family, listed on the attached page, must appear at the

Embassy/Consulate on the above appointment date. The address is provided on the next page.

Is this my interview letter? Did I bring this letter to the Medical interview also??

coz in this letter They didnt have the address for the counslate ( Tian Yu Garden one)..

I am a little bit confused...

When filling out the DS-3032 to attach to OPTIN Email, do you still put the physical address on it, or leave those fields blank or N/A?

THANKS,

Heather

I just didn't want him confused and maybe send a duplicate by accident. Sometimes, he doesn't listen! I just thought it was illogical (what else is new) that an agent is appointed and then they continue to send to both. But, unless someone tells me there's a way to do that (with EP), then I'll just give both.

Thanks,

Heather

Petitioner/USC.

THANKS,

Heather

Are you the petitioner or beneficiary?

I want everything to come ONLY to me So, to be clear, are you suggesting that I give ONLY my email when calling (will they accept that?), and then attach the DS-3032 with the OPTIN email?

Thanks,

Heather

1. The DS-3032 is really only applicable if you DON'T give both email addresses. That way, only the USC gets the mail, instead of the beneficiary waiting forever in the foreign country. But if you give your email addresses over, the DS-3032 is kind of irrelevant as both the petitioner and beneficiary get all emails.

Ryan:

This is GREAT! Your schedule is ahead of mine by about 30 days (I just stated waiting for NVC. This 'cookbook' is just what I need, and it will serve countless others!

A couple of questions come to mind:

1) Since in must cases, the DS-3032 will designate the US Spouse as 'Agent', why do they need the other spouses email? I thought 'Agent' meant you designate who would receive everything?

2) Regarding the 10MB limit for AOS and DS-230 packages, is it possible/ok to split them into 2 emails if needed?

Thanks,

Heather

Keeping my fingers crossed that you have a quick resolution to this!

Heather

Thanks Robby, I will check them! :dance:

Thanks,

Heather

Oooops, I think I transposed the DS-3032 and 230 in my post!

Thanks Ryan. I really appreciate your detailed response and I am anxiously looking forward to your thread!

A few followup comments/questions:

1) I didn't know that USCIS --> NVC transfer was averaging a month! Oh well!

2) Just to be clear; I am the petitioner. I thought that the DS-3032 HAD to come from the beneficiaries email?

3) Did your information/responses on CFK re: resending relationship info with DS-230 indicate that the original I-130 relationship Info would make it to NVC, then to GUZ, or did you just decide that it was not needed in your case if it didn't get there?

Once again, thanks ad gratitude.

Heather

I called NVC today, but the automated system said 'no record'. I'm not surprised, since NOA2 was only approved yesterday, but I'm anxious. ;-) However, in the mean time, I have three questions:

1) My husband is not good with computers. After I get my GUZ Number, I plan to fill out the theDS-230, email it to him, have him sign it, and then scanned at a copy shop. After that I plan to login to HIS email (yahoo.cn), and send it from there. My question is: will they be able to tell (from the IP address, etc.) that I logged in and sent it from the US? Will they care?

2) I have some red flags, and sent a heavily front loaded I-130. I have read conflicting information on whether the extensive relationship information I sent will make it from USCIS to NVC. I don't want to unnecessarily duplicate or cause problems, but I don't want to take a chance that it doesn't get there either. Should I resend my relationship evidence with my DS-3032 to assure that it gets to GUZ BEFORE the interview?

3) I've read some posts that indicate that Darnell's EP Wiki is outdated. I don't want to make a mistake. Is there a more up-to-date guide on this or any other site that can help someone like me who has never done anything like this before?

P.S. I'm also interested in Mr. Darnell's opinion on this. Are you out there?

Thanks to all who have/will help!

Heather

How/when do I get these (Case and IIN) numbers? And how does NVC get our (my husbands and my) email addresses?

Also, you are saying to attach the DS-3032 to the actual email that I send to request OPTIN?

Thanks, Heather

You will not be able to start EP until the NVC gives you a case number. Once you have the case number and the individual identification number (IIN); Darnell recommends that you have the NVC email you the AOS invoice. Once you receive that AOS invoice in your inbox, you can OPTIN.

Now with that being said, it is possible to OPTIN once you have the case number but Darnell has seen OPTIN emails get lost in the system if you try to OPTIN prior to receiving that AOS invoice in your inbox.

When you sent the OPTIN email, attach a DS-3032 signed by your husband.

Hi:

I'm new here, but have been a lurker for some time and benefitted greatly from the information. I'm a little shy on message boards, but feel I'm a little over my head and need some help. I have applied for my Chinese husband to come over. A lawyer friend helped me file, but he has since moved away. Today I was notified via email that my NOA2 was approved and want to proceed with Electronic Processing, but without my lawyer friend, feel a little lost. So, I am reaching out for help.

I noticed that there is an EP Guide written my Mr. Darnell. But I see some posts saying it is out of date. So I'm not sure if I can follow it or not. Is it current, or is there a more recent guide elsewhere?

Also, is there anything I can do NOW (before I receive my hardcopy NOA2) to start the EP Process?

Thank in advance 4 any and all help! Heather
