Hello Everyone,

I am new here and what a process!!!! I am my husband's agent, and will receive all documents pertaining to our case. We just completed the DS230 and am waiting for the link to make payment. When I send off this form and all the supporting documents do I need his original signature on the DS230 and actual passport size pictures and original bc and marriage license?

EVERYTHING CORRECT, BUT THE MARRIAGE LICENSE...IT NEEDS TO BE THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE, NOT LICENSE.

Hi josmar! Welcome to VJ! :star: :blush:

I am assuming you mean you just completed DS-3032? If so, you should be getting an email of acceptance from NVC soon and then you will be able pay and send your DS-230 packet. :dance:

You will need his original signature on JUST part 1. Part 2 must remain unsigned.

Yes you will need the passport pictures.

You will need ORIGINAL/CERTIFIED BC of your husband and ORIGINAL/CERTIFIED MC (marriage certificate). Just a friendly reminder, as long as they're in Spanish they do not need to be translated.


I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this thread: http://www.visajourn...ers-april-2012/

It will get you through NVC. Make sure you read the first two posts on the thread and ask any questions as needed.


I just got through NVC about a month ago and will be having my cita on May 4th. Glad you found VJ, you will be done with the process soon!


Best of Luck! (F)

Well my friend it seems to me you got VERY lucky because I've seen plenty of people get RFE's for not signing that part. The person that looked at it either missed it or was being extremely nice. They expect the intending immigrant to sign it since in reality the application is pertaining to the immigrant.
