NVC clarification (US Embassy in New Delhi, India)

[wildestkabs 0]

Hi everyone -

We are approaching 3 months since we first filed the I-130 through the CSC for a CR-1 visa. While we are getting ready for the NVC, there are a few things we would like to have clarification on. We would be interviewing at the US embassy in New Delhi, India. I am the US citizen.

So I am clear about the DS-3032, the IV fee bill and the AOS. However my confusion is related to the DS-230. Do we need to complete both parts 1 and 2 (part 2 not signed, though still completed) and send them to the NVC? I have checked out the New Delhi US embassy's website and they indicate that they send out packets 3 and 4, which has the DS-230, so does it need to be sent to the NVC as well (if it is going to be sent by embassy to the beneficiary)?

Also, the other documents like PCC, birth certificates, marriage certificates etc - just to so I am understanding this correctly, even though the NVC already has the original marriage certificate, we still to send it another one? And for the PCC, birth certificates, do we need to send them to the NVC, or to the embassy?

I am sorry for all this mess, as you can tell, we are a little confused. I guess the gist of this is - what goes to the NVC and what goes to the embassy?

Many thanks..

Complete both parts of the DS-230, but sign only part 1. You will need to send this to NVC as part of your DS-230 packet after paying the IV fee. All civil documents you send to NVC have to be an original or a certified copy. You did not need to send your original marriage certificate with your I-130 petition, but since you did, they might not need another one at NVC. Not completely sure about this.

Also, if you don't already know about the LingChe NVC shortcut, now is a good time to have a look. We found it very helpful as a quick reference/refresher guide.

Good luck!
