Oh okay Thanks! And also, everything need to be in PDF format right?

Thanks Again!

That is correct!

I have a question for those who emailed everything. I know it is not required but you guys email any pictures or proof or relationship docs along with the DS 230?

Hi diamondeve21,

Along with the email that had the DS230 PDF package I also sent our Proof of Married Relationship PDF with a few photos from each visit I had with my wife from the beginning until the present time to show a history. This was to bring support to the evolution of the relationship documentation that both my wife and I created and included in the PDF document.

Eric

Eric,

I think everything will be OK, all you need is time and patience. My understanding you mailed out your AOS packet and DS-230 packet in different time. NVC has to receive everything before they can give you CC. So you mailed out DS-230 on late November, you should get your CC next week sometime, I think. Mine took about 17 days after I mailed out those two packet. So count 17 days from the day you mailed out your last DS-230 and upfront loading documents, I am sure you will get response next week. I did too send those upfrount loading material on NOV 29, I guess those extra documents did not affect their speed to handle this matter. As a matter of fact this is the only mail I send out with NEW GZO number. I sent both DS-230 and AOS packet by using old case number on NOV 23 after the operator of NVC told me I have new number generated but not available at that time. The new case number arrived a week later through Email. The bottom line I think they have received your stuff but they didn't do anything until both DS-230 and AOS arrived. Good luck! Zwuu

Thank you zwuu for the encouragment.

I contacted NVC AVR system on Saturday morning and go the "THE NVC HAS REVIEWED YOUR DOCUMENTS AND FOUND MISSING ..." and said it sent a checklist on 12/10/2011.

So I will be making a call into the operator on Monday 12/13 to see if this is true or a false RFE. I was pretty good in the assembly of all the AOS and IV PDF packages (emails). I good thing is at least there was a response of some kind for the AVR system right after I submitted the AOS I-864 PDF documentation again on 12/09 with an updated GZO cover and receipt. If the message is for the AOS email then at least I know they not have this in their posession as well as the IV packet with the 12/2/2010 received date.

My guess is maybe the first time I sent the AOS PDF docs on 11/19 as a GUZ email could of got lost in the process because it was a second OPTIN and since they gave me an email of OPTIN accept based on my wife's earlier OPTIN maybe they got ride of the my OPTIN and AOS PDF attachment. Who knows. At least the AVR system give's me some additional assurance that they have both AOS and IV pieces now.

I'll get this cleared up and see there it goes on Monday.

Thank you again zwuu for the information about the email dates and of for your case!

Eric

Hi, I am Zwuu. Just want to update my schedule here, since I think we are in similar situation. I did too send in my AOS bill and IV bill while I was waiting for my GZO number on NOV 23,2010. The operator told me I could if I wanted to upload now and they will convert my old number to GZO number.

I just received Email today 12/10/10 my case closed ,and i am waiting for the interview date Email notification. I guess my point is as soon as you know you have a GZO number generated despite you don't have the "number" yet, you still can send in your AOS and IV package via Email. Zwuu.

Hi Zwuu. Congratulations in you getting your CC (case closed)!!!!

I checked the AVR again last night and still had the same message pertaining to the DS230 being received and them waiting for the AOS even though I sent it on 11/19? I called NVC that evening and the person I talked to didn't know much about Electronic Processing and could only offer the the 12/2/2010 date and after being put on hold (requesting a supervisor or someone knowledgeable about EP) they said there wasn't anyone available. (the person was still nice on phone but not I presumed wasn't knowledgeable about these cases and they themselves recommended me to call back later. Anyways, I took matters into my own hands and forwarded a reply to NVCElectronic with my previous 11/19 email at the bottom and referencing the title of the previous PDF attachment name with a new email and AOS I864 PDF (with new GZO coversheet and payment receipt) and explaining in the email that this is a duplicate with the exception of the new GZO cover and payment sheets in the documents and if there was any confusion please contact me.

I would be grateful this is now cleared up so I can get to your CC step.

Thank you again Zwuu for your update and Congratulations Again!!!!!

Eric

Well, I haven't heard word about our email fillings from NVC as an email and I told myself I would call them to get at least a date in which our I-864 and DS230 case information was received.

I called and NVC operator and (he may of not know much) told me there was a date of Dec 2 in which the information was received. Ok? I don't think he when about EP cases because he said I should wait 20 business days for the processing to be completed. He didn't know if this was for the I-864 package or DS230. That sounded like a standard answer to me so I let it go and said thank you (for a date at least).

I called the AVR system this afternoon (Sat) and it said that the biometric info was received on 12/2 and they didn't have the AOS fee bill payment or the AOS information. So my assumption is maybe the AOS PDF package (I-864) is somewhere sitting in their system (I did get a autoreply for this) when I sent it to NVCelectronic. I sent the I-864 info on 11/19??? of course it was sent as a second attempt of a OPTIN at the time with only GUZ number. So I don't know now.

I will be grateful to get a supervisor on the phone early next week to at least get some more detail information and also see if I should send the I-864 information again.

If there is anyone else doing EP process in their case in china or elsewhere let me know how the document email processing is going with you also.

Thank you!

My wife's interview today was successful - Her IR1 visa is approved!

I'll do a detailed updated early morning after talking to her in detail.

Thanks to all for the wishes and the support

I wish you all great success in this immigration journey

Loto

Congratulations Loto!!!!!!

Eric

Hello FOLKS...........Sign in Failed........I will get interview in Jan for sure.........

Happy News Indeed!! Congratulations!

Eric

Hey Eric -

May be a dumb question, (might as well get them all out of the way now while there's still time to learn), but how did you get all your documents into one pdf? Did you scan all at once, or use something like CutePDF, or are you just that awesome?

Thanks!

Hi CanadaLove, I was using CutePDF Pro for the merging of all the PDF converstions. I bought one copy of the program for my laptop and have the CutePDF Printer Driver on all my systems and my wife's. In her case she just does the scans to JPG and send them to me and I do the processing for assembly.

I was playing different PDF Print drivers that were free.

I have been playing with

CutePDF Writer

PrimoPDF

Bullzip PDF Printer

Each one has it's one settings so I would get different results in order to get the PDF files readable and down to size.

I viewing all the listed PDF Creators for Windows from this wiki,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software#Microsoft_Windows

I was reviewing a few of the free ones. I still use CutePDF Pro for my final product.

Eric

i know this is at least 9 months off assuming Liu and I make it to final visa acceptance:-)[K1] But i figure it cant hurt to ask.

Liu speaks english quite well. she thinks she doesn't. she types insanely well in yahoo chat. What are some jobs she can try to get is USA? She does secretarial work in China.She is very bright and a very nice person. Any suggestions? Does anyone here have expoerience with interpreting services? Thanks so much.....todd

Todd,

My wife while after resigning from your office because of planning and traveling she had to do for our formal wedding in Beijing and preparing for her leaving to the U.S. went to the Nanjing Jinling Int'l Language college to aquire a certificate of accreditation in teaching chinese as a second language. I already have a lead of a place near where I live in Orange County, CA that has positions available at different times of the year and also both my wife and I would find other posibilities for her.

So if your fiancee has an inclination of going in this direcition she could see if there are programs in China where she is located that have acceptance in the U.S.

Eric

Well, we received this replay from NVCElectronic today from my Wife's 11/9 OPTIN email to NVCElectronic. That makes it roughly 8 1/2 business days from the time she sent the email to the time we got a response from them. (leaving out the NOV 11 Holiday).

As an update my wife and I got our GZO number by my contacting an NVC operator the day before Thanks Giving. This is certainly Giving I can Enjoy

Anyways we finally got all the documentation in order and since I already sent the I-864 to NVCElectronic prior the getting the GZO they told me to just send the DS230 Package.

So have spending about a half a day on Friday 11/26 and communicating with my wife on one of the documents I was able to send out the DS230 PDF attachment and another Front Loaded PDF attachment to show the start and continued evolution of the marriage.

I will be grateful that all the documents sent are enough for NVC to review, enter, compete and send out to the Consulate.

Now we wait!

Eric

I know you can always place more into the front loading or should I say “Middle Loading” since it’s being sent to NVCElectronic.

I know, it's front load in terms of being sent prior to attending the Interview.

Anyways, I felt this would help in getting the point across with our Bonafide Marriage.

Eric

Thanks for the response, Eric I think I'll keep with the 600 dpi for anything with a seal/stamp/signature, and will scan at lower resolution for black/white. Appreciate your input!

Your Welcome! Give your case much success with the Electronic filing!

Eric

My wife and I have talked almost everyday for over 2 years, on Yahoo Messenger. I have condensed the logs and chat samples of the Yahoo call history/emails to 30 pages. The chat/call logs show that we talk everyday, and the samples of about 1 or 2 for each month, show that we can communicate easy. All our photos, I put on 8 1/2 X 11, with 2, 4, or 6 photos with text on each sheet, about 10 sheets with 45 photos, using Microsoft Works. I have read many times that the Visa Officer may have their decision made prior to the interview. I have read many times that the Visa Officer may reject to look at "any" evidence brought to the Interview. I have read that USCIS does not always send all documents/evidence to NVC, but NVC does send all submitted documents/evidence to the Embassy. By sending evidence to the NVC, at least the Embassy Interview Officer has the opportunity to look at anything prior to the Interview.

Hi Bob g,

You are definitely doing the right thing in my opinion.

I'm actually almost done with may assembly of the Evidence Portion (2nd PDF that will go along with my DS230 documentation email to NVCElectronic. I'll be done by today. I'm keeping my evidence done to the following not knowing what is being sent electronically to the Consulate.

1. Affirmation of Relationship letters from Mar 2009 to May 2010 (Marriage) (Both mine and my Wife's) (were included in the I-130 packet

2. Updates to the Marriage Relationship letters from May 2010 to Nov 2010 (Both mine and my Wife's)

3. Outlook Email Logs from Mar 2009 to Nov 2010

4. Skype logs covering Nov 2009 to Nov 2010

5. The Best of the sample photos from Oct 2009, Feb 2010, May 2010, Oct 2010

6. Evidence of Wire Transfers to my wife for China SIM chip, document Fees and Honeymoon trip to Bali

7. Evidence of placing my wife on my Health Insurance effective January 2011.

It is a balance of how much for file sizing and to give the consulate enough to say OK this looks good (of course this is a matter of judgment for each applicants electronic filling for those doing this).

Eric

Quick question - what dpi should I be scanning at? I don't want the documents to be rejected, but I also want to fit them in two emails; one for the husband's application, one for my supporting documents. I've scanned at 600dpi, but can go higher (1500 I think is the highest on the scanner I have access to) if necessary.

Hi CanadaLove,

For the packaging of the PDFs for my I-864 and my Wife's DS230 I was bring them down to an acceptable size that was also readable for someone who brought up the PDFs on the screen for review. If they look readable and viewing them and the text, signatures and any stamps are clear I would think you would be in good shape. Most of my wife and my scans were either 150dpi or 300dpi with a mixture of color scans (for the supporting documents that would have stampings such as police records, wife's bio page, her 2 photos) and the blank and white documents (the I-864, DS230, tax returns, tax transcripts, etc).

Other's may respond and give you there option as well.

Eric

Eric,

Cheers up!

One question about what you mentioned in your message - " I read somewhere on this site about doing another Frontloading this way so that the Consulate get's it electronically and makes a better case for us for my Wife's Interview." : what Frontloading thing you talked about? Is there an email which I can send documents to GuangZhou Consulate?

I do appreciate if you could provide more detailed info.

Thank you niceBill. I want the same success with EP for us all that are doing this. About maybe 2 or 3 months ago I was looking at the question of Frontloading with NVC as a last part. I hope the link from the VJ site come out on this message.

I'm taking Dan's review of the consulate when going to China for his wife's CR-1

http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/view-dos-cis-reviews.php?entry=6253

The part that caught my EYE:

==========================================

"Oh, before I finish this part. I DID front load our petition and I also sent a lot more documents to the NVC when I emailed in the wife’s DS-230. All documents are forwarded to the US Consulate, ALL documents even those not needed by the NVC."

"In the End, I would recommend to “Front Load” give a lot up front, but not too much. DO Electronic processing and email a lot more, even another EOR, they will forward all documents to the Consulate. DO Go, if you can. DO Go to the ACS and ACH before your wifes interview if you can. It does help. My wife has her visa and passport in hand and will arrive in a short few weeks.. Finally.. All Is great.. !!!"

=====================================

So I will be frontloading both my wife's and my original EOS that we sent with the I-130 and both did a one page (no notorized) update from the time we submitted the I-130 until now. I will be providing our E-mail logs from beginning to now, skype logs from start until now, sample photos of all the trips together (10 or 12 of the best pictures of the two of us together in China) and some supporting documents of adding her to my health insurance for next year (open enrollement period at the office now) and any other documents that lists both of us together at the US. I am just sending enough but not too much as the update and not know what from our original I-130 filing really goes to the consulate (scanned and sent??) with the EP case. I was reading in the review above and maybe else about senting the documents with the email for the DS230. One email. Two attachments.

This I came up with by searching the VJ using search terms like "DS230 Front loading" "Front Loading NVC" and other things like this.

I hope this helps. Maybe could could send another email with the attachment anyways even though you have sent your documents in (I-864,DS230).

I read in another place this may (no positive proof) that the extra docs could delay the completion part a little bit becuase they have to review everything. I would rather have these sent now becuase how is to say if they would see the updated info at the time my wife goes to the interview. I would be greatful that when the electronic case gets to they they see all the info at the consulate and then say, "Ok this looks good" and then have to ask as few questions to my wife considering of the evidence that was submitted prior to going to Guangzhou.

Thank's my Opinion.

Wanting the Best for you and everyone one else filing.

Eric

As an update both my wife and I received am email today 11/22 in response to my wife's OPTIN on 11/9: If this is an Acceptance Email then it has been basically 8 1/2 Business Days (not counting Nov 11th Holiday) for a response to my wife's first OPTIN request.

Well I called NVC on 11/23 and was told my case was in the process for case coversion. That was good to hear. Today, 11/24, I checked the Payment Portal and saw that I received a "Database Error" when trying to access the system with my GUZ number. Taking what niceBill said on his, I went ahead and called NVC and the nice gentleman on the phone told me I have a new case number and gave me my GZO. I told him I sent my I-864 in last week with the old case number as an email and asked to check if it showed received yet. He said there are many emails and that nothing shows yet. I asked him if I should send it in again with a new AOS cover sheet and payment receipt with the new number and he said I shouldn't becuase it my delay the case.

So now I will be assembling all the documents in a PDF for the IV Package and also assembling an Updated Evidence of Marriage Package and sending them in one email the NVCElectronic. I read somewhere on this site about doing another Frontloading this way so that the Consulate get's it electronically and makes a better case for us for my Wife's Interview.

Eric

zwuu: cheers!

Eric: yes, I am able to log in by using GZO# & Invoice#

Cool! thank's niceBill for the info.

Eric

Update on my case: yesterday I tried logging into NVC Payment System but kept receiving "Database Error" back, so I called NVC last night and surprisingly an Operator was available to answer the phone call and told me that NVC already generated the GZO# for our case, wohoo! So from the date of my wife sending in the OPTIN email till NVC generated the GZO#, it takes almost three weeks. Still very confusing, even till now, I didn't receive any Electronic Processing Acceptance Email from NVC yet, wondering if I would ever get one.

The operator also told that we can sending in I-864 and DS-230 now. I told her that I already sent by using the old GUZ case#, and she said that we don't need to re-send any documents as NVC knows how to link and handle the two case numbers with the same case.

Hope my information will help all of you a bit.

Hi niceBill,

Just out of curiosity, did you try logging into the NVC Payment System with the GZO number and the IIN number when you were making payments and getting the coversheets?

Just wanting to know if you were able to get through.

Eric

I put in something like: Submitting Affidavit Support Document I-864 for NVC Case# GUZ-xx-xxx-xx-xxx

Thank you for sharing your example.

Eric

NiceBILL,

Good to hear you have the gzo number and they were ok in taking your documents sending to NVCElectronic with the GUZ number.

NiceBILL, how did you specify the subject line in the emails for your I864 and DS230 when you sent them to NVCElectronic???

Eric

Well, we received this replay from NVCElectronic today from my Wife's 11/9 OPTIN email to NVCElectronic. That makes it roughly 8 1/2 business days from the time she sent the email to the time we got a response from them. (leaving out the NOV 11 Holiday).

Well, today my rear was itching to know if my wife's OPTIN was recorded somewhere on the NVC computer system. This week we had the electronic version of the DS3032 Accepted, the I-864 was paid the previous week and the IV Bill was paid at on the middle of the week.

I send an email to NVCINQUIRY to about a correction with my wife's email account. Apparently the email address I was guessing was mistyped the first time we gave the information. Hotmaill.com instead of hotmail.com. Because my wife didn't receive any emails for the DS3032 but I received both the DS3032 kit and the I-864 Bill as an email.

So I called up and the first operator I got wasn't much help. I asked if there was anything showing on the system regarding the electronic process being registered from my wife's OPTIN email. He said no and that we would have to wait. I asked him to confirm my wife's last part of the mail. He said it was hotmail.com so I believe the change was made to the email address. So really didn't get the OPTIN help I was looking for.

So I was looking at kandl133, Kevin & Li Timeline Profile and thought, let me call them again. This time I talked with a nicer person and took this time with me. I asked him if there was an "OPTIN ACCEPTANCE". He paused for a second and said for electronic processing. I said yes and he asked me how long ago was the OPTIN email and confirmed with me what email address it was to be sent to. I told that the OPTIN email was sent 15 days ago. He put me on hold and after getting back with me he suggested that I have another OPTIN sent because there isn't any record showing. (Think he knew more because I was on hold for about a couple of minutes during the checking). I asked him if I could send it with my email address and he said either one. (I'm guessing because my wife has already selected me as the agent and we have paid both bills already) So I thanked him for all his help.

I was looking at kand133 timeline and comments below recording the OPTIN saga that happened with them.

So I was think my wife already has me on the system as the agent so I used my email address and sent another OPTIN and attached my I-864 PDF (all completed and paid for) to NVCElectronic@state. I'm guessing the first two times it was ignored because my I-864 invoice didn't show online until the day after her second OPTIN email. Any way's I will be grateful when we have an acceptance and GZO number to finish this up to the next step.

zwuu,

We are in the same situation: my wife and myself received the same kind of email from NVCInquiry@state.gov, but no EP acceptance email from NVCElectronic@state.gov.

Even though it is very confusing, my wife and I will go ahead to email out I-864 & DS-230 packages to NVCElectronic. I am guessing that our GZO# could only be generated after NVC receives all required documents. WIll update you guys if we could get any luck.

niceBill,

It will be interesting to see what come through as far as the time in which the date of acceptance and GZO numbers are generated for you, zwuu and myself and any of the others in a similar situation right now.

Eric

Hey guys,

Let's guess when we NVC filters of November will get interview date?

I hope I could be interviewed by Feb.

Hi Jessica0216,

I would be very greatful if my Wife's Interview date was in Jan 2010! I intend in going back to see her in China and bringing her back to the USA with me.

So I was think my wife already has me on the system as the agent so I used my email address and sent another OPTIN and attached my I-864 PDF (all completed and paid for) to NVCElectronic@state. I’m guessing the first two times it was ignored because my I-864 invoice didn’t show online until the day after her second OPTIN email. Any way’s I will be grateful when we have an acceptance and GZO number to finish this up to the next step.
