As far as I know the OF form are obsolete, we now need to file the DS-230, and depending on your country you will have to file only part I or both part I and II. Probably you will need to file them both parts with the supporting documents, I would suggest that you provide them with certified copies and keep the originals.

No need for OF-169, just the DS-230 for CR1/IR1 visas.

Please go to the National Visa Center Forum and look at the "Timesavers" thread on top. Pages 10 & 11 describe every step of the CR1/IR1 visa process.

Hi Mononoke28,

Yes im now using the Jame's NVC Shortcut. My Husband email me the DS3032 the one with barcode and i send it back to NVC tru email. My Husband already send them the AOS payment.

The NVC only replies to my email tru the automated reply and they never mention in their email that they already received the AOS Bill.

My question is in your case how did NVC replies you and how did u able to know that they already received your AOS payment is it tru email also?

Thanks a lot and have a great day.. :)
