Hi everyone I have a few question about DS230

I sent out DS 230 of my parent and NVC received into system on September 10, on September 17 why NVC still send me REF. asking for DS230??

I forgot to write case number on all documents along DS230 is this ok? r they gonna lose my documents? it takes forever for my parent to request their police record , birth , marriage certificate etc..

and How long estimate for NVC to finish review DS230? (NVC received into system September 10)

Thanks everyone

Sometimes there is a lag. You might have already sent it, but meanwhile the letter on the other end is generated and sent anyway. There's no real way to predict how long NVC is taking. My case took 20 business days. If the REF is asking for the DS-230 and you already have it, then there is nothing to worry about. Probably for your own peace of mind, just call them and clarify. Ask if they received everything necessary.

I also forgot to write my parent case number of each document, do you think is this going to be ok? bc its take forever for my parent to request all new original document and send them to the USA like birth certificate, marriage cert. etc.. this is very frustrated!! can't wait to get over this.

Thanks again

I made the same mistake I forgot to write my case number on all the documents and I got an RFE and I was forced to resubmit all the documents including the DS 230.So, it is better to have certified copies of all civil documents handy. I did reapply for a police clearance again.

sorry to hear that I hope your case complete by this month.

I just re read instruction on http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/nvc/nvc_1335.html I didn't see requirement that we have to write case number on the document that we send along DS-230. anyone correct me?
