I keep reading about a cover letter and a barcode with packet 3. I didn't get either one. Was I suppose to? Or is that for someone else? I'm so confused. Sorry

Hi Daisylynn

The cover letter everyone talks about is just one they make up themselves to detail which documents etc they are including with their DS-230 - that they are mailing to the NVC.

As you are DCF you aren't mailing your DS-230 to NVC are you? The barcode sheet is also mailed back to NVC with documents - but you are taking your documents with you to the consulate I believe.

Ditto what the trailmix said. DCF does not give you a barcode, so don't worry my friend. Just gather those documents and ship your DS form and checklist asap. We always included a cover letter in any correspondence with the Consulate, indicating exactly what we were sending - and always keep copies!!!!
Good luck, L.

Shew! Thought I was missing something Thanks!!
