So, I am trying to copy the shortcuts presented/suggested from the forum. my question is, does the ds-3032 which can be sent through an email requires an actual signature of the beneficiary or is it ok to just print the beneficiary's name from the bottom sent to NVC? what was your experience, did it go through successfully if done without an actual signature and just print the beneficiary's name and contact info?pls kindly advise.thanks.

You can send ds-3032 through email without a signature on it ,i did that for my dad i used his email address and sent it to NVC"s email and everything went ok,they accepted it ,i copied an example from this link http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Email_DS-3032_form that is how i did mine..

hello vj members,

My son filed an I130 for me November 22, 2011. He got a letter in the mail on Jan. 6, 2011 stating that your petition has been approved and was transferred to NVC (Date filed Nov 22, 2010 , Date approved Nov. 30, 2011). Thank you .

My questions are;

1. How long before a case no. will be assigned?

2. will the NVC mail the case no. to my son?9petitioner)

3. What should I do?

4.what happens next after approval?

after the approval your son need to call NVC and they will give you all the information that you needed..and the instruction in what you needed to do..

hi,

I just applied I-130 for both parent.Now, i'm waiting for any notice.

- My question is how come i don't see any one file from I-485, instead DS-3032 packet? what is that?

- What kind of documents should I be ready while waiting for NOA from I-130 at this point?

thank you

i think you'll get your notice of reciept in few days or in a week after they in cash the payment.no need to file for an I-485 form.ds-3032 is a choice of agent that you choose to where the paperwork will be sending it to.For now would be better while waiting for noa 1 and noa 2 (approval)it could take up to 3-5 months.. just have your affidavit of support I-864 ready,and also I-864a if you need a co-sponsor .employment letter,recent pay stub,recent 3 years tax return ,w'2s ..NVC will send you an instruction when you get the approval notice..Goodluck ..

12/30/2010: Checks cashed

Hi, this really sucks for us who filed first but was moved from CSC to TSC. I filed mine in August but September filers were worked on first? Don't get me wrong, I am happy for you but the system is unfair on how they handle cases accordingly. USCIS transferred a lot of cases from CSC to TSC because CSC was so backed up but it just doesn't make sense if after the transfer, CSC processes cases with a later receipt date. :

Goodluck im sure you will get your approval sooner than you think..i didnt expected myself either but im glad it happened that quick..my fathers paperwork i never recieved any notice that they transfer it to any service center,patient is needed you'll get your's soon..

thats correct,(if you are filing for both parents, you must file a separate petition for each parent but you can put everything in the same envelop.2 forms I-130 .1 for your mom 1 for your dad and the rest would be the same 1 each documents needed.

wherever the closest NSO office they can get a copy of birth/marriage certificate .no need to go to manila for that too far away..if thier province have an NSO office and yes they can get it there.goodluck..

your saying that no records found at the court house where he live right?..the main NSO is in manila thats where all the records at,and he can apply for a new one if theres NSO office near by..your dad mention about it was caught on fire meaning thats only the local record at their province,he can still apply a certified copy for it ,but if NSO itself has no record then they need to apply as new ,like new register they can ask more information at the court house/city hall the step they should do..because thats what happened to my mom no record found at the city hall,and no record at NSO also..she apply as new register..

THE CIVIC TEST IS FINE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AS LONG AS YOU STUDY FOR IT YOU'LL BE FINE TRUST ME..

THIS IS ALL THE REQUIREMENT YOU NEED TO SUBMIT:

Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative (if you are filing for both parents, you must file a separate petition for each parent but you can put everything in the same envelop.)

A copy of your birth certificate showing your name and the names of both your parents

A copy of your parents’ civil marriage certificate

your Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship OR U.S PASSPORT

a COPY OF YOUR MOM/DAD BIRTH CERTIFICATE

1 copy that i mention above each parent if your filing both mom/dad ...

Congratulations! The fastest NOA2 I've ever heard of! That is great! It's good to hear California Service Center can actually work fast. I filed for both of my parents in October 2010. So, hopefully, in a few months I will get NOA2 as well from CSC. Best of luck to you and your father! Great job!

I myself was surprised that it went so fast im thankful though,goodluck everyone for sure everything will turn out to be ok..and for the meantime im waiting for the NVC to send me an invoice to fee the bill...

my father's approval toke about 90 days..
