Hi there,

I need to know if we need to send in two passport size photos of beneficiery with DS_230? I called NVC today to see why our case was not complete and the operator said that the beneficiery needs to send in two passport size photos to NVC it is a new requirement she said.

please someone clarify

thanking you all in advance

Hi Pari,

Yes, there has been some discussion here about that recently. Apparently this is a new - unpublished - requirement from the NVC:

INCLUDE two passport photos of beneficiary for DS230 even if checklist doesn't mention it! NVC has added this new requirement!

rfe DS230

I assume they are sending you an RFE for the 2 photos?

hey Trailmix, thank you so much for ur response.

Although they will send RFE, I spoke to an operator again and asked if I needed to wait for a letter in order to send two photos in..and she said that u don't need to wait for it u can just send it in...my question is should i send it in or wait for the letter?

also which address to send it in?

thanks again

I'm so confused. We got a RFE because my husband messed up question #20 but it did not say anything about sending in photos. I don't know if I should include this with the new DS-230 or not since the checklist letter did not tell me they needed photos.

When I spoke to the operator to find out what the problem was (before I received the checklist in the mail) she told me the only problem was missing or incomplete info on one of the questions and she said nothing about needing to send in photos.

UGH... I just want this to be over with

Woo hoo buffalobound! Lots of good news here! I will update the table as soon as the rest of you guys give me the dates, this is excellent!

As for the checklist discussion above, I have started a new thread about it here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=108634

Hopefully it won't get moved out of the Canada forum.

Thanks all support here.

I talked to operator today and found out that our interview date is March 20!!!

Now I am going to make a medical examination and schedule for ML trip. My husband and I will take one week off that week and drive to ML from Toronto. Would be an exciting trip......

Feb interviewers, please keep posted here.

Hi prg,

I will update your date on the table shortly, but wanted to answer this.

At the bottom of the timeline to interview table above I have put in a link to the interview letter you will receive from NVC. As bearmirus mentioned (in post 248 of this thread) the medical portion has just changed, so while this letter is from the beginning of January, the vaccinations etc may have changed a bit.

They don't include a medical form, you just need to make an appt. with the panel physician for your medical.

OH LOVELY!! What vaccines have changed?! My husband already had his medical exam. It's a long trip to Vancouver and he was taking me there to fly out so we decided to have it done then (August). Plus, he didn't want to make the trip in the winter..argh!!! If it's not one thing its another..

Well all anyone has reported so far is that gardasil is now required for females from 11-26 years of age:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=106208

Other than that we are waiting for a report back from someone to see what else might have changed.

When my Husband went for his medical a few weeks ago the Dr. mentioned to him that there were more vaccinations now required - I guess he was saying - soon - because he only had to comply with the ones that we know to be required.

Oh right..I remember reading that. Luckily, my husband is immigrating..so we don't have to worry about that. I wonder what the other requirements are..hopefully he won't be affected by it.
