Sooo, if you're eliglble for electronic filing can you submit the AOS and packet IV via email and then just take the originals to the interview? I'm trying to get a grasp on how the electronic filing works, because it'd be so much more convenient for me.

Whether your are filing electronically or by mail, you do not turn in the originals unless specifically asked to do so. Take all originals/certified copies to the interview.

is ecuador newly on the EP list ?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

I don't know..is there a list? For some reason when I read the NVC site about electronic processing I thought you could choose. Is the EP processing only available to certain countries? If I can't EP I'm sending my stuff out to family so it can be sent as soon as I can.

NVC keeps moving 'the list' so paste the url that you see, I'll review it for you. You'd think, me being one of the EP experts here, I'd have it my short list, but no.

Well thanks for squashing my hopes and dreams (JK :P ). I guess it was wishful thinking on my part, I suppose. It would make more sense if they were going to get rid of DCF in the majority of countries if they'd just let us all EP. Guess I should get stuff together then to send out, so family can send it along to NVC as soon as I am permitted to do so. Thank for letting me know it's not a possibility!
