Thanks. What is the best way to mention this error? Do I mention it right from the start? I read somewhere that during the interview, we only have to answer when asked.

Hi All,

My NVC case is already complete and I already have an interview date. While double checking my docs, I realized that I wrote my mother's married name and not maiden name. Can I bring an updated DS-230 part I to the interview and tell the interviewer about the mistake for correction?

Or should I just let it slide?

Thanks!

Hi All,

I'm confused. Do we need to bring the same documents to the visa interview? We already mailed the originals in the IV packet. In the NVC letter, all of the documents listed have the status as received:

Y = The required document has been received.

O = The original document has been received and accepted as meeting post requirements.

F = This form is not necessary for this application.

However, in the Manila embassy guidelines it has the following instructions:

Immigrant visa applicants should have ALL the following documents ready to submit at the time of the visa interview. Your application will be refused if you fail to bring any of the required

documents.

What exactly do I need to bring to the interview?

Hi,

Very soon you will get appoitment letter from NVC. It says about your interview date, medical exam and may be packet 4. Now you have to deal with your local embassy. Just call to NVC next Monday and ask them about interview date. I have one q. for you. When did you send your DS230 package to NVC? Did you get any RFE? I just sent about 1 week before and i would like to know how long they take to complete cast at NVC. Good Luck.

Thanks. What is Packet 3 and Packet 4? Are there any other forms that I or my beneficiary needs to fill out and submit?

I sent the DS230 package to NVC on June 20 (next day delivery) so they received it on June 21. I just received the "complete" message from AVR today. I did receive an RFE on June 14 but it was saying that they haven't received the DS230 package yet. I wasn't able to send the DS230 package until June 20 because my spouse was still in the process of getting the necessary certificates.

Hi All,

I just heard from the AVR of NVC that my case is complete. What is the next step? Do I need to wait for the NVC to send me email of what to do next?

From my understanding, the NVC will now send my case to the local embassy (Manila). Will we receive email regarding the procedures for the beneficiary to take the medical exam (e.g., where and how)?

Thanks,

Harold

We sent the DS-3032 through email. We got an automated reply. Then, last Monday, we also received an email:

However, until now, I still don't have the IV bill.

Hi,

So even if the NVC AVR hasn't said that the DS-3032 has been generated, I can go ahead and email our DS-3032?

Thanks

Hi,

How will I know whether it's ok to email the DS-3032? Do I have to wait for NVC to email me first about it?

Thanks!

Is it 10 days for you from the NOA2 date? or 10 days from when NVC received the package?

Thanks!

Hi All,

USCIS already sent my package to NVC. When I called NVC, the AVR said that they don't have a record of my case yet. I called again to talk to an operator and the operator said that they have already received my package. However, it's not uploaded to the system yet, (so no NVC case number) and I can't give them my email address yet for correspondence. The operator mentioned that it takes 4-6 weeks to be in the system before I get an NVC case number.

Does it usually take that long to get an NVC case number?

I was looking at http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/LingChe_NVC_ShortCut#2._USCIS_Sends_Package_to_NVC and from my understanding from steps 4 and 5, that I can get the case number and also tell the operator of me and my spouse's email address even before the case info is manually inputed to the system.

Thanks!
