Well, our case is cuising through NVC smoothly (mashallah) and only DS230 is left to be generated.

I am leaving for Pak in a week and planning to send DS230 from Pak once I hear from NVC that it has been generated.

Does anyone see any issue if I send DS230 from Pak via FedEx? What should I write as "sender's" address? Address in Pak or US?

Thanks

How are you planning to include the Bar code document? Checklist? Have you asked someone what is exactly in the DS-230? NVC may have changed list of the required documents. I have heard that some folks from this site have sent the 3032 before even it was generated. And it was accepted by the NVC.

Now as far as sender's address is concern. Here is what i suggest:

You should always write the choice of agents address for "Sender's address". If you are the petitioner and also choice of agent then you should write your address as "sender's address".

Now the problem is that you are in Pakistan and you are sending the 230 before even it gets to your house in USA.

I would say, you complete the DS-230 form before you leave to Pakistan, hand it to your friend/relative whoever you trust the most. Whenever NVC generates the DS 230, have your friend/relative mail the forms to the NVC.

You will have assurance that mail will get their safe, on time and it'll have your origonal address with the US stamps.

Dood Wala,

Sounds like you have been away from VJ for a long time and you don't have a clue how to generate bar code page. It can be done, and as a matter of fact I have prepared the bar code page already, not going to tell you how cuz I know you are from CA..... :))))

Anyway, thanks for the advise.

What is this nonsense you keep saying in every post "you are from CA...."?). If you have learn how to copy the barcode then whoopty freakin doo.

First, you ask a question on this forum and ask everyone to comment on your questions. And then you make fun of others. Grow Up!!!

NVC automated systems says "We have received the package and some information is missing" (not exactly the same wording)

I have seen some posts here that it suggests that DS230 is missing. Now does it means NVC has generated DS230 or they have entered AOS?

Will NVC update the message again when they do generate DS230?

Thanks

Do not worry Jaxguy I got the same response and panicked when I was going thur the processing. The DS230 goes to another office than the I-864 so it shows in the system as missing or incomplete. Once it arrives to the proper office the automated system will tell you that you should be completed in 4-8 weeks. This is just standard statements and it is usually done 2-4 weeks. They only review it for accuracy and then forward the case to Islamabad and the CO will have the final say on your case.

Congratulations on the upgraded petition status!

NOIR/NOID means the case is being sent back to the US for Notice of Intent to Revoke or Notice of Intent to Deny. Thrice in the thread above means they were put on AR/AP three times. Hope this helps.
