Updated instructions for NVC

Today I decided to visit the official NVC page info for my consulate. It was lucky that I did so as my consulate has changed in the last week from a standard post to appointment post processing, meaning that the form I sent to my husband with my signature is no longer correct (I'd only filled in part 1) and that I need to get all my documentation to him to send in, rather than taking it to my consulate. :crying:

I also noted that the initial instruction page now has the following statement:

Obtain and submit photographs that meet the Department of State's immigration requirements.

Yeah if you didnt include photgraps, you'll probably get an RFE. Its been discussed here for a while now.

It seems that the trend is to convert standard post to appointment post so NVC can collect documents in place for embassy. Yesterday I checked the Vietnam Consulate, and it just turns into appointment post. It's a good thing that I've VJ as a reference. Otherwise, I would definitely get RFE.
