Thank you, but I'm confuse, sorry.

I read that:

"Required documents from the Beneficiary for DS-230 Immigrant Visa (IV) Package

1. Two passport-style photographs (2X2 inches) of the beneficiary. (Write down NVC Case# and beneficiary’s full name and date of birth on the back side of both photographs lightly)
2. Completed and signed form DS-230 Part I by the beneficiary
3. Completed and unsigned form DS-230 Part II by the beneficiary
4. Photocopy of the beneficiary's passport biographic data page
5. Original/certified copy of beneficiary’s birth certificate
6. Original/certified copy of beneficiary’s and petitioner’s marriage certificate
7. Original police certificate(s) of the beneficiary
8. Original/certified copy of military record, if applicable
9. Original/certified copy of divorce decree, death certificate, etc. of previous marriage, if applicable"

I read that, from September the form DS-230 has been replaced by another online, the form DS-260. So various birth certificate,police certificate, ect I must have even so? I ask because if so I could get ahead and request them. Thank you

Did you read the link i posted above. It mentions clearly aout DS 260.

Copy pasting from the same link i mentioned above.

What's the DS-260?

The DS-260 replaces the old DS-230. As before, you will still submit the IV package, just without the DS-230. The DS-260 will be done online. For me, it was only available once the IV appeared as PAID in the payment portal. Not sure if it's changed or not at all since then. But, at the most, it'll be a few days after you pay the IV bill. Like the DS-261, it'll be on the online forms portal (link in first post). You can do the DS-260 before or after you send the IV package, it doesn't matter. As long as it gets done, NVC doesn't care.

Please note: depending on how prepared you are, the DS-260 can take a few hours. You can always save and return, if you wish; it doesn't need to be all done in one sitting. But, it'll take an hour at the least (30 minutes maybe if you're really fast). My suggestion is to have a DS-230 pre-filled out and that way you can just copy over the answers. This will shave off quite some time if you prepare ahead. But be warned, there are some differences between the DS-230 and DS-260 where the DS-260 asks for more information. You can view screenshots (and thus the differences) here from when it was first released back in 2010: http://www.docstoc.c...60-screen-shots There have been changes since this original DS-260 was released, but it's quite similar still. As with the DS-261, print out the confirmation page at the end. Make sure to bring this to the interview, just in case. It took Montreal quite a few months to get used to the online forms, so they were still requesting DS-230s at the interview. So, it might not be a bad idea if everyone going through NVC now brought a completed DS-230 to their interview, in case it's requested. Having a DS-230 already completed will shave off much time if you had to suddenly fill out the form at the embassy/consulate.

How long does the NVC take to send the invoice from the day the case number was received?

It can take up to 30 working days but usually its before that. Try to get all your paper work ready i.e civil documents you will need for DS 260 and affidavit of support and tax transcript etc... It will save you time if you are proactive.
