Happy New Year!

I've been reading this site for quite sometime now and eventually decided to join. It really helps a lot! =) Anyway, when is the expected or presumable date that I would receive my DS3032? Would that take for months? I just got a letter from NVC last month enclosing some information concerning my registration and that includes my case number, pa name, preference category, PD and foreign state chargeability. Thanks! =)

Hello.

Welcome to the site. You have just made a good decision joining our family.

Please provide us wth some more infos regarding your case so we can answer in details too. When was your case received by the NVC? Is your attorney (the one who filed the I140) not your agent of choice?

Are you sure you are referring to DS3032? or the DS230?

The DS3032 is generated once the NVC will get hold of the approved petition from the USCIS.

DS3032 is actually a form that you have to complete and return to the NVC. By submitting this to the NVC,this will allow the immigrant visa applicant to designate an address and agent ( typically a relative, attorney ) to which the NVC would direct future communication.

If I am not mistaken, it is no longer needed for most of us to complete this DS3032 if the NVC has gotten the G-28 form from the USCIS indicating that the attorney of record is same as the agent of the applicant. If this is not done, then once NVC will receive your approved petition from USCIS, NVC will automatically send out to you the DS3032 form. You then have to complete it, and send it back to them.

I hope I made it clear for you. T-cell can also help you with this.

God Bless and keep us posted.

Yes, I am definitely referring to DS3032. Actually, case was just recently received by NVC last November of 2008 and they sent out a letter last December which I received and that enclosed my NVC case number, PD, etc... My agency told me that I'd be expecting a DS3032 which is the Choice of Address and Agent which I do believe is right but I remembered filling out a G-28 form which is the notice of entry of appearance as attorney I guess. I too have a constant communication with my petitioner in NY and she told me to fax the letter I received so that she could follow up my DS3032 which the petitioner normally signs in behalf of me to expedite release of packet 3 documents. Am I right? :)

Hello again.

Thanks much for the prompt provision of more details.

Yes you are actually right about it. But since NVC is directly in communication with you, I dont think you,your petitioner, or representative had ever filled up a G28 form the time when they filed the I140 petition. The G-28 form must be submitted altogether with the I-140 and other documents at the USCIS at the time of I140 filing. Another thing is, in usual cases, it is the petitioning company and not the beneficiary who will complete and provide to the USCIS the G28 form. This is why plenty of beneficiaries is not even aware of the existence of this G28 form.

The DS3032 if needed to provide, should be filled-up and signed by the applicant, yes the petitioner can also sign and fill it up in your behalf. But since at the moment NVC is directly in touch with you, for sure the DS3032 will be sent out directly to your address for now, you alone can complete the form and sent it back directly to the NVC without having to send it to your petitioner and still have them sign in your behalf. This will avoid consuming too much time.

Another point of order, by mere providing the DS3032 to the NVC will not in one way or another EXPEDITE the release of packet 3 documents. The release of DS230 (packet3) depends so much on your priority date alone. When your PD is near to become current, you will be notified by NVC that your case is ready for further processing, settle the Visa Fee Bill, then thereafter you shall expect to receive the packet three. Until then, no packet 3 should you expect. Not even just after providing the DS3032.

Anyway, best of luck. I am hoping that you will get the ds3032 at the soonest, fill it up and send it back to NVC at the soonest. You may as well try to contact NVC and ask for update as to when you'll get hold of the ds3032 form. Getting the ds3032 doesn't have any timeframe. You may have to receive it as early as now.

God Bless you and again, welcome.

not yet documentarily qualified

hello everyone,

this is my 3rd time here. but i am a regular reader, As you were suggested i emailed NVC about my case, this was my letter to the NVC:

Dear Sir/Madam:

I received a notice from your office dated April 21, 2008 about the IV Fee Bill for my daughter
I sent a bank draft for the payment, but i did not receive any response from your office since then. Did your office received the payment?

Also I want to know if my case is already Documentarily Qualified, or if not what are the documents that are lacking?

their answer which i received yesterday:

Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC).

The NVC has received the requested Immigrant Visa fee for this case.

We are waiting for the form DS-230 (Application for Immigrant Visa). The applicant must complete this form and send it to this office so that we may continue processing this file.

Please visit www.ImmigrantVisas.State.Gov, Applicant Document Processing, to download a copy of the DS-230 and/or the instructions. If you do not have access to the internet, you may wish to visit your local library or an internet café.

> my problem is do i need to send AGAIN all our DS230 or only the ds230 of my 3rd daughter which i paid the IV Bill last April?
and how about my newborn, do i need to inform the NVC, which means another delay... pls. help me!

thanks in advance

Hello Joc.

Tcell is absolutely right in all the opinions he gave.

You may have been case completed already in the past. But the fact that your previously submitted docs and DS230 had long been freezed at the NVC, it may have been expired already and a new set of DS230 and other pertinent docs must be submitted in order for you to be once again documentarily qualified. I am pretty sure you know about this. Updating the DS230 has nothing to do with you settling your 3rd daughter's visa fee bill. It's just that you need to re-update your DS230 at the NVC. Tcell is right, you alone is the one to fill up the DS230. Not your dependents but of course you have to jot down their names as your derivatives.

Try to answer the DS230 trutfully. I believe you have to write the name of your newborn. Because you gave birth way before you are declared as documentarily qualified.So there's no reason why you wont include your newborn in the DS230. That differs your case from the others who had not informed the NVC about their newborn, but instead had just included their baby at the time of consular interview precisely because their newborn came into existence the time that the applicant's case is already documentarily qualified.

I have sent you a PM. Please find time to read it.

This are just opinions. Better if you'll consult your immigration lawyer. The best person to answer your queries.

Goodluck and God Bless you

When was the last time you sent them an updated Ds-230 form? The last time there were movements was around the months of June-Aug 2008. Majority, if not all of those who gave their Ds-230 forms during those months were ultimately been labeled 'documentarily qualified'.

Sounds to me though that it's either they did not receive the previous Ds-230 form (or your agency/lawyer purposely did not send it - some do this for various reasons) or they (NVC) are indirectly asking that you send them again an updated DS-230 form. Note that the answer they gave you is a generic answer that I have received before and read from others as well. I have also not heard of anyone being asked to re-submit or update their ds-230 forms as of yet for both w/ 2005 and 2006 PDs w/c makes me lean more towards that NVC did not receive a Ds-230 form yet from the months I previously pointed out.

There is no such thing as a separate Ds-230 form for your daughter, as far as I know. The Ds-230 form is a form for 'Application for an Immigrant visa' and you, the nurse, is the only applicant. All others are your beneficiaries. Remember, you are expected to answer the form as accurately and honestly as you can on the time you are answering it. It also doesn't mean that a spouse or children are automatically getting GCs if you don't indicate that they are accompanying you. I know people that did not include their spouse but only their children to accompany them but that does not mean they don't have to indicate the name of the spouse. They still do.

If you are updating the ds-230 form, it is updating your status as the primary applicant. So, if the NVC will be asking for your Ds-230 form again, then you need to send one again with the updated data.

Also, if you read through this thread, you will find out that some lawyers may advice some clients to not include any new children and just update it when already in the embassy or consulate. However, in your case, it seems to me NVC is asking for you to update your Ds-230 form and that advice may not be pertinent to you.

These are, of course, just my opinions. Please wait for nurseidol and others for their opinions. Also, try asking advise from your lawyer.

Good luck. [image]

> t-cell, NVC requested my 2nd set of ds230 last june 2007 but sent back to my atty last sept.2007 (But my atty. just sent back to me last April 2008, together with the IV fee bill for my 3rd child.): the returned ds230 have a letter stating that my petition is not eligible for further processing...

Hi Joc,

I read your inquiry with regards to NVC'S reply that you need to resubmit or update your DS 230 and need to send it back to them or through your lawyer if there is. Usually the lawyer is responsible to explain or assist you with regards to submission of documents or any updates that need to be the done. In your case, NVC had sent you a letter that you need to comply. Correct me if I'm wrong, but i do think we have a similar case. Whenever NVC asked me to update my DS 230's and other pertinent documents. We always submit not only my DS forms or documents but also all the dependents that i include as my dependents. NVC always require me and my dependents to submit and fill up separate forms individually. Even if I am the "MAIN BENEFICIARY OR "MAIN APPLICANT" as a petitioned nurse, it doesn't mean that I am the only one who will do the updates. It was explained to me beforehand by my lawyer and NVC as well that me and my dependents should comply each forms and documents one by one and not just include it in my DS 230. Dependents papers are also reviewed separately by NVC the way they do to the main beneficiary like us nurses. Maybe that is why NVC respond to you that your case is not yet eligible for further processing because you and your dependents (includes your spouse and children) documents are incomplete by not sending your daughter's own DS 230. YOU SHOULD FILL UP DS FORMS BOTH PART 1 AND PART 2 INDIVIDUALLY. For instances, you have your spouse and your daughter as your dependents, you must fill up 3 separate DS FORMS for the 3 of you too. Hope this help your confusion and do hope I was able to explain it to you well. Good luck!

To T-cell and Nurseidol,

I hope I was able to explain my own knowledge regarding the case of Joc. I base it in my own case as what my laywer and NVC told me so. Thank you very much to the two of you for giving us all the important information that we always need. WE learn a lot from you guys! God bless us soon... Ciao!

Thanks cutienurse, your advise is highly appreciated...
i just want to know if i still need to submit a ds230 for a child if I declare her on "follow-to-join" dependent?
