I know I just saw this posted in another thread last week, and I searched for quite a while before asking but honestly I figure it's a very short-answer for whomever responds, so I'll give up the hunt and ask.

Is the DS-230 that the NVC sends printed on one side or two?

I want to reproduce the packet as authentically as possible, just to be on the safe side.

Thanks!

Yes, NVC's Ds 230 is two sided, but they also accept the one sided DS 230 (total 2 pages) that you can download from the websites. But don't send the DS 230 until NVC generates DS 230.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

How will I know when that happens?

You have to call NVC and speak to a live operator. They will be able to tell you when the DS-230 has been generated; check out the timesavers by aussiewench thread. It'll give you a better idea of the order.

As married_my_love said, you will have to find it out by speaking with an operator live at NVC. It will most likely happen 2 months after the USCIS approves your petition.
