We have paid our IV bill,

I have my original birth certificate, marriage certificate and PCC( applied for) and 2 photos( is it 5x5 or ordinary indian passport size?) and original divorce decree to be send along with my DS230.

does anyone know whether i should send the birth cerificate and divorce decree of my husband (US citizen) along with my DS-230.

for My child (in previous marriage is also accompanying me) also we have paid IV bill, apart from her birth certificate what all documents should i send along with her Ds-230, should i keep my divorce decree and new marriage certificate along with her DS-230?

Zee22: are you ready with your vaccinations records or are you planning to take them during medicals
