I am having a huge dilemma, as I completed the DS-261 form, I have completed my husband address/phone number in US for correspondence, and not mine, aboard, but at name, I have wrote mine as an agent, if I did that wrong, there is any way of changing it?... should that be a problem? I'm stressing myself a lot... :(

You can just go back to CEAC website, edit your DS-261 and resubmit. It should not be a problem.

Patience is virtue, my friend. Everything happens for a reason.

correct me if i'm wrong here.....

I recently received the email from the NVC the "Welcome letter" and I'm following the 6 steps that said on the letter.

1. Choice an agent : which i did already and i put myself as an agent since I'm the petitioner

2. Pay fees: so I pay the affidavit of support which is only available to pay.

whats gonna be my next step???

so i just have to wait 15 days for the NVC to process my payment before I can pay and able to fill out the applicant information?

is the applicant information is same as visa application?

3. submit visa application form. for this one yah just wait right?

4. Collect financial documents

5. Collect supporting documents

- so for this both step 4 & 5 i guess i can start gather all the documents i need right?

- I already fill out the form I-864EZ in that case on the obtain financial evidence i don't need to do all of that unless i completed the form I-864EZ right?

here's the link: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Step_4_Collect_Financial_Documents.html

6 submit to NVC

Thank you in advance.
