NVC procedure after submitting DS-230

[ketan128 0]

I called NVC about Ds-230 and what document needed.

Following is the list

1. DS-230 Part1 (Signed) and Part 2 (Not signed)

2. 2 Pictures of 2X2 size(write case number behind picture)

3. Passport bio-graphic page(Copy)

4. Birth Certificate (Original)

5. Marriage Certificate(Original)

6. PCC from District Police Station(Original)

7. PCC from Passport Office(Original)

Write case number on each page of documents. Put barcode page (page sent by NVC) on top of all this.

NVC operator told me that I will get all original documents at the time of interview at Bombay, India

And he also told me that we don’t need to resubmit all this document again to embassy or VFS (VFs is

Accepting all the documents on behalf of embassy before interview)

So after sending DS-230 to NVC we just need to wait for interview latter. And complete Medical.

And go for interview……that’s a procedure right now for CR/IR category

Please update this if I put something wrong in this talk

Sounds all good to me. Just double check your whole packet a couple times BEFORE you send. If you make a single mistake with it, you'll add 1-2 months to your processing time.

My guess, is if you do everything perfect - it's about 2 months from the day you send it to them that it's usually approved & sent on.

So - be careful - and you're all good.

You should print/write both name of beneficiary and case number on back of pictures. Otherwise, everything looks great!

Good luck!

I put the case # on the top right hand corner of each page, each document, each pay stub and each letter.

Also, make sure you have copies of your documents just in case the embassy doesn't receive everything you already sent the NVC. You never know.

And don't keep your hopes up in getting your documents back at either the embassy or POE because most of us didn't. They usually keep everything and you never get to see it again.

What do you mean you never get your original documents back? Those are originals and impossible to replace. My husband cannot go back to Iraq for his birth certificate and we can't go back to Syria for the marriage license. They have to know people need those back.

In my case all the certified copies is accepted no RFE with NVC. You can double check if they really want original or certified copy wil work?

Yes in my case I didnt send any originals. All certified copies worked. You might wanna double check calling NVC to avoid RFE.

[Leedah 22]

I got an RFE (by calling NVC & speaking with the operator).

Operator let me know that I needed to send in the ORIGINALS of my husbands birth certificate, police clearance and our marriage license. I nearly had a fit!!!

But, I guess we can always get copies. DAG NABBIT!!!!!!!!

What more do these people WANT! Arrrrrg.

For every bit of instruction I find, I can always find conflicting instructions.

http://travel.state.gov/pdf/not_applying_in.pdf

Please obtain the original documents or certified copies from an appropriate

authority (the issuing entity) for yourself and each family member who will

accompany you to the United States. All documents that pertain to your

petition are required, even if they were previously submitted to the CIS with

your petition.

Note: Do not send any of the documents in this section to the National Visa

Center. You must submit them at the time of your immigrant visa interview.

Sabr, if you look at the bottom of this PDF, it is from 2005. These rules are obviously outdated. The most updated rules are available on the DOS website or by calling NVC.

Before, NVC only required the DS-230 and copy of passport bio pages back, and the original civil docs had to be taken to interview. They have obviously changed the rules recently and now they require submission of all the original civil documents, with DS-230 and copy of passport bio pages.
