ok thanks ALOT!! ;-)

hi guys........ what is the correct size of photo to be taken for IVpackage? because i am seeing alot of different stuff.. thanks

hi guys jus a quick question, in mailing the IV package, i used a brown envelope and put the address:

National Visa Center

Attn. CMR

31 Rochester Avenue Suite 100

Portsmouth, NH 03801-2914

and then the people at the postal service put it into a 2nd envelope, this time i had to write the adress of the NVC again but left out Attn CMR

WILL THAT BE A BIG PROBLEM???????????????????????????

finally sent IV package, does anyone know how long NVC takes with that and what happens after??

a couple of weeks? thats long i got mine in the 1st week. you have to constantly call them everyday, call them untill they give you your IIN number, and Beneficiary number. goodluck-)

i mean this. i know it says petitioner, but aren't the beneficiary suppose to? and am i sending it straight to NVC? or will my husband in the US send it after i send it to him?

Hello,

Sometimes you can changed the font to make an answer fit, but if you have to write it in, you can. Just be neat. 31A means what family member will be accompany him. For example, I wrote in my Step-daughters name in that box. She will be coming with her mother. Remember, the DS-230 is done by the beneficiary for many types of visas, so if a child, cousin, etc were also applying and coming with him they would go here. Since your visa is a Cr-1, then it most likely would be any kids he had, if they were coming. I'm assuming your name is in box 14, and you're american. You're already here, so you won't be coming with her.

ok i am the beneficiary my husband is the petitioner, he is comin fro the US to accompany me, does it mean i have to put his name? or accompany here means something else?

hi if some info is to long to fit on the DS-230 but cab=n be written in should i do that? and what is question 31a? my husband is coming to travel with me is that what they mean? thanks
