DS-230 - Assembling the DS-230 Packet for NVC

[tung tran 0]

I now have all a completed DS-230 and supporting documents to send to the NVC. However, in the instructions online and the instructions sent by the NVC, they do not tell you how to assemble this other than writing the case number at the top-right of ALL documents.

Do I staple everything together just as with the I-864?? What did everyone else do?

Thanks in Advance

Just put everything in order with a clip...then put this in a folder and then in a big envelope

You can send it together or you can send it separately.

Just make sure the right barcoded cover sheet is on top of the respective packages.

Good luck!

Hop on over to the April 2010 NVC thread, ya?

Thanks so much for those links - I finally know what all this NVC-stuff is about!!

I have one more question though : I spent about 15months in the US - do I need an us-american police certificate also?

Probably a dumb question but I just dont know better.

FYI

Note: Present and former residents of the United States should NOT obtain any police certificates covering their residence in the U.S.

I wasn'T a "resident" though, just a student and visitor?

OBX is right, you don't need a police certificate from the US if you were a student.

I was a student for 2.5 years and no certificate needed for me, USCIS does their own checks if they know you were in the US

Good luck.

Thanks for confirming that canadian_wife I thought I had the correct info but wasn't 100% sure.

Yup. Lived in the U.S. from 2005-2009. No PCC necessary. They will do their background/name checks.

Folks,

Do I need to also send the proof of STUDENT VISA / WORK AUTHORIZATION - H1-B approval with DS-230 ?

Such as copy of passport's visa stamp of US student visa OR H1-B approval notice. ???

Please reply.
