i know as a petitioner i need to send the AOS.. I would like to ask which is the fastest way to send ds 230.. Do i need to ask my spouse to send it over to me while waiting for nvc number or will i wait for nvc to send the packet to him?

It would be better if you have your spouse prepare all necessary documentation and paper works (while still waiting for NVC to give you your MNL case number) and forward them all to you (as I suppose, she'll choose you as her the agent per DS3032) since you'll be the one now submitting the Immigrant Visa Application packet to NVC. It'll save you lots of time. So when the time comes that you can now submit the IV packet, it'll be ready and all you have to do is print the barcoded cover sheet, put it on top and send it to NVC. :)

Get a few filled in and blank DS-230swith just part I singed by your spouse mailed to you - trust ne they will come handy. Also get her/his Original Date of Birth certificate and copies of biographic pages of her/his passport. You will also need Original Marraige Certificate for submitting DS-230.
