I'm going insane in this process!

The website says we now have to submit the DS-260 form, but when I click it, there's no option or no such form. Is it the DS-261 form? If so, why don't they say that?

Also, I aparently need certified translations of all the documents. Can anyone tell me where I might obtain such translations for a reasonable fee? Are there some places that are better to use than others?

This whole thing is confusing me so much!

FYI: After 40 minutes waiting to get through, Finally got the info. I have to send the affidavit of support form (I-864EZ) and then submit that before they will allow me access to the DS-260.

Only need certified translations if it's not in the native language of his country where he's immigrating from.

You do not need to send the AOS forms before doing the DS-260... Does your IV bill show "PAID"?

I second www.rev.com. Used them for ALL of our translation needs and they did a wonderful job for not much $$ too. Yay for that! AND they are SUPER quick. I'd usually have the translation in the same day.

Awaiting Oath Ceremony for Citizenship! Last step!

Actually its the DS261 that you MUST complete before the DS260. Usually, the affidavit of support is submitted before the DS260 but it is not required to be. Do the DS261 to activate the ability to do the DS260. Do the affidavit of support when ready.
