I have received intruction to start DS-230. I am helping my wife fill the form. Here are my questions?

  1. DS-230 part I question 32: " In what occupation do you intend to work in the United States? My wife worked as an accountant. When she comes, she intend to stay home be a housewife and later go back to school for a master. I don't know what to put there. Can we considere housewife as an occupation "UNKNOWN" or "NOT DECIDED" etc.
  2. Does NVC send the approved I-130 and all its corresponding documents to the consulate? Yes. You can collect the originals back after the interview.
  3. Is it ok to ask my wife to get some vaccinations done prior to getting the list of vaccination needed from the consulate? Yes. It would save some money.
  4. Does she need to my birth certificate, marriage certificate and divorce papers since I have already provided those in I-130? Did you send the original or copy with I-130 to USCIS? If originals are sent, better arrange another original for the Consulate interview. USCIS will keep the originals with them.
  5. Where can I find documents check lists for DS-230. The check at NVC site is broad. Here: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_bring_your_foreign_spouse_to_live_in_the_US or http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/LingChe_NVC_ShortCut or official NVC site: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3741.html

How do you do the inline with the timeline?

Do you mean the timeline at the end of every post?

If yes, that's the signature in user settings under your profile.
