to the op -

please read all pages: DS-230 - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3190.html

but - slow down a moment, and think about OPTING IN FOR NVC ELECTRONIC PROCESSING. At least, think about it this weekend.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Having the GZO # is indication of successful opt in. Once ya got that, you start sending the files. IMO, yer 'steps ahead' in that you've already paid both fees.
