Huge Mistake

[VA8688 0]

I made an awful mistake. Turns out when you send in the I-864 you have to also include the DS-230. Am I mistaken or no? If so, Should I send in the DS-230 now, or do I wait for an RFE and send the whole package again?

No you haven't made any mistakes. I-864 and DS-230 are different entity all together. One refers to the financial situation of the petitioner while the other one is about the background of the beneficiary.

You won't get any RFE because you didn't send DS-230 along with your I-864 but if you call up NVC in a week's time you might hear your AVR message saying some documents are missing and those documents are the DS-230 one given your i-864 is all perfect.

So relax and start collecting DS-230 documents and send it in asap. Best wishes

See I thought I was right because I read and Re-read every guide and every direction available, however, when I called today one of the representatives told me that they haven't received my I-864 even though the tracking shows as such, and then came the subject of the DS-230 and he told me that it has to be included with the I-864, hence the confusion. Anyway, after I have compiled everything for the DS-230 do I just send it in with its Cover Sheet and play the waiting game, or is there a notification I'm supposed to wait for?

If you have paid your IV bill online, then there is no other notification you need to wait for, since you can print out the barcoded coversheet.

May be i-864 hasn't yet entered their system yet. Once it does they will process it, and wait for your DS-230 to be received by them, once DS-230 is received they will process that and if there is nothing wrong you should hear case completion.

Ok that makes sense.

That's probably right. Ok awesome, I hope this goes smoothly.

Thank you for your response. And best wishes to you as well

That happened to me. confusing phone messages and all.

Send it in. Then your phone messages become even more confusing.!!!

BUT you will be NVC out in no time.
