Hello friends:



Our DS-260 (Immigrant Visa Application) is available to be submitted online, does it absolutely have to be submitted by the beneficiary? My wife is in remote part of Nepal where internet is not readily available. So, i was thinking why not I submit the application on her behalf as a Primary Applicant.


If I (the petitioner) submit the application, does it have any adverse impact? Do they track IP addresses or any other tracking system that would make the application invalid or get rejected during the NVC processing or at the interview because the application was not submitted by the beneficiary?


Any petitioners who filed DS-260 on beneficiary's behalf and had no problem?



Thanks,

KP&SP, I had same doubt and I filed both DS-260 and DS-261 by myself on behaf of my wife. I even called and asked NVC customer service personnel before filling the form by myself on behalf of my wife.

Good luck

You can fill it out, it is very simple just like the old DS - 230. I would recommend you fill out the DS-230 and then move on to DS-260; it would be a lot easier.

I did not wanted to take the chances so I had my wife submit the application once I got it filled out and ready to be submitted.
