I am curious about this practice of middle loading or ( front-loading at NVC ) as its called.

After the customer has retrieved a case number, IIN and beneficiary number, we're expected to proceed to generate the AOS and IV Bills.

I understand that additional proof of bona fide marriage if any, must be sent with the civil documentation (Passport Photos, Police Certificate) that accompanies the IV bill. Basically print the IV checklist, fill in everything (fill out the DS-260 online separately) - throw in the extra pieces of evidence and send it to Portsmouth, NH.

Is that accurate ?

Or - is it better to scan everything and send it to a NVC email address - so that somebody who receives the email will print the attachment and add it to the casefile

Any suggestions ?

I feel that with the universal application/usage of DS-260, there is no paper DS-230 and so, the IV Checklist really only has Passport Pictures, Police certificate. I suppose they would not mind adding this additional evidence on top of everything else.

***Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Progress reports to NVC forum; topic is about this phase of the process.***

**Moderator hat off**

Or - is it better to scan everything and send it to a NVC email address - so that somebody who receives the email will print the attachment and add it to the casefile

Scanning and emailing items to the NVC is not possible unless the country where the interview takes place participates in Electronic Processing and Electronic Processing is not available for India cases.

Countries where Electronic Processing is available can be viewed here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_5165.html

adit_ya:

You'll be sideloading at NVC,

the submission with the civil docs,

paper only, nothing electronic for India (sorry) for civil doc submission into NVC.

[please tell yer friends the appropriate label is 'sideloading']

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

-=-=-=-=-=R E A D ! ! !=-=-=-=-=-

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !
