Who will receive the DS-230?

And Mononoke, yes I have been checking with a customer service rep about that I-864. Nothing yet. My AOS fee hasn't even been entered into the system yet. She said give it 15 days from when it was delivered, which was 7/12, to Missouri. I will check back with NVC next Monday. Surely, it should be in the system by then!

Meg, I did the same thing and called about AoS fee payment (about 6 days after it was supposedly delivered). Guess what? Not in the system. Call again tomorrow. I bet it will be there then hehe.

Megan,

I sent the original marriage certificate with the I-130 but my husband and I requested several certified copies from the Notary when we got married. He also got several certified copies of his birth certificate just in case.

Yes, we did the same thing. I have another certified copy of our marriage certificate here with me (the other original one was sent to USCIS) but as far as his birth certificates, one is with USCIS and the other two that he had, well are completely damaged. They had terrible rain and there was flooding in his home that damaged a lot of papers...so I'm hoping that NVC already has his birth certificate since I did send it to USCIS. Maybe they passed it on to NVC along with the petition and everything? If not, I'm sure they could send it back to me so I can then pass it on to NVC. That would save us some money and then all we would need to get is the police certificate since NVC would already have the original marriage certificate and birth certificate.

Something tells me though that with NVC, it might not be that easy.

[Mononoke28 135]

Oh that's too bad, Megan.

I also forgot to mention that all documents you send to the NVC will be sent to the embassy, so they will have all that stuff at the time of the interview. Also when he gets his visa, he will get that stuff back.

Oh I see, so whatever is on the interview checklist, if the NVC already has it then we don't have to worry about it since his embassy would be sent it and have it at the time of interview. Whew. I was worried about that all day but thought to myself that immigration wouldn't make it THAT complicated would they lol?

Yes, I know that he will get all that stuff back. It's in that manila envelope that cannot be opened until he gives it to someone at the POE, right?

Now all I have to find out is if our original marriage certificate and his original birth certificate is already in our NVC file from USCIS.

Thanks Mononoke!

[Mononoke28 135]

Well, the embassy is "supposed" to have all those documents at the time of the interview. But it would be good if you could make copies of everything you send the NVC just in case.

Oh most definitely I will make copies. I have so many copies already from what I sent to USCIS! Just as long as we don't have to buy 2 police certificates, etc. then that's fine lol!
