@Saylin I've been meaning to ask you about this and keep forgetting. Has it really changed? Cause I was going to have a hard time finding the exact days.

DS-260 - Beneficiary

-If you want, pre-fill out the DS-230 [12], so you have the information and answers handy when you fill out the DS-260 online later on and save time. It’s also a good idea to check out the screenshots of the DS-260 (found here [13]) as there is some extra information that isn’t asked for on the DS-230. Notably, the DS-260 asks for exact dates for addresses, employment, education, etc. On the DS-230, it only asks for month and year. Make sure you have all the information before hand to save time.

Update (3/15/11): I've heard from a few people that have recently filled out the DS-260 and they're saying days are no longer asked on this form, only month and year, similar to the DS-230. Also, it only asks for current employment and no longer previous employers (no supervisor name or phone number, just address and name of employer). Also, there is no longer a section asking about current and previous education.

AVR is telling me that my pack of forms and documents have been reviewed and has been found information missing or incomplete and that they mailed a letter on March 22 to let my now about the documents. Can it be a false FRE? maybe they aspect the DS-230 form because was sent in different dates?

yes it could be a false RFE i had similar message on AVR but later it changed when both packets were reviewed.

Case Complete at NVC

I want to say thank you to everyone on this forum! Truly an amazing site. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have any support in this whole process and I would have been ABSOLUTELY clueless on what steps to take. My marriage certificate was accepted (ha I knew I was right!) and if it wasn't for VJ I wouldn't have had the idea to send repeated emails, email the embassy, call everyday etc. until my case was complete. I am truly blessed to have you all and this website for support. Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!

Also I called this morning and the man literally read what was on the screen "unfortunately ma'am the cases for april are filled, you can call back the 3rd week of april as appts are scheduled the 2nd week......." Anyway I need a break from them and I am truly just so thankful again!

Congrats to all those with cases completed!! very exciting!!! :-)

As for me, I mailed out my visa app packet today! AOS packet was delivered on 3/21. What's the average wait time for both the AOS and DS230 to be entered into the system? Operator today told me to wait 20 business days.

Also, there is no longer a section asking about current and previous education.

I've heard from two different people that they don't ask for exact dates anymore, just month and year, like on the DS-230. I'm sure people complained that getting exact days were hard and they changed it. You should be fine, just make sure you have the month and year.

AVR is telling me that my pack of forms and documents have been reviewed and has been found information missing or incomplete and that they mailed a letter on March 22 to let my now about the documents. Can it be a false FRE? maybe they aspect the DS-230 form because was sent in different dates?

It could be a false RFE. Call an operator and ask just to be sure though.

Grats on sending out the IV package! It usually takes about 2 weeks after sending the packages in for them to be reviewed and then a case complete if no RFEs.
