DS-3032 and DS-230

[Dana and Divine 61]

Okay, my name is lost again!

At what point do I mail the DS-3032 and DS-230 (part I) to my husband in order for him to sign them and send them back to me with his police certificate? I have all other documentation required, but I also need to know are there additional forms he will need? I saw a type of "DS-156 or DS-156K" form as well that I read was not to be signed until interview. Is anyone else aware of additional forms, or this particular form?

I see now where the 156 and 156K are for fiancee/nonimmigrant visa's. That doesn't apply to me. So all I do not have clear is when should I have my husband sign these documents and send them back to me? One form I'm comfortable with completing now, it does not expire, but the other form already had an expiration date.

After your petition is approved by USCIS, they send your files to NVC for further processing. This includes submission of Immigrant Visa (IV) and Affidavit of Support (AOS) packages. The DS-230 is part of the IV package.

As soon as you get your case number from NVC, the DS-3032 can be sent from the beneficiary's email - no need to print and fill out the physical form and send it through post. See here: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Email_DS-3032_form

The date indicated on the DS-230 is NOT the expiration date of the form. Your husband can fill this out in advance and send the whole package to you, or he can send them to NVC himself when the time comes.
