Going to visit my wife

[stacato 0]

Hi everyone,

My i130 was approved and we got a case number at NVC about a week ago. They said in their letter that the paperwork will be sent to me and my wife in a bout 6-8 weeks. I am going to visit my wife in China next week and wanted to know if there is anything I can do while ther (Fill out forms for her-her english is so so) and speed up the process. Anyone knows what forms I should take?

any suggestions would be appriciated

The first thing you want to do is send your wife a copy of the DS-3032. You can find it in the NVC-section of this forum by searching for "James' shortcuts" or by going to NVC-timesavers (it's post #5). You need to make sure that your case number is on the DS-3032. It's probably easiest if you become the agent because it means that the NVC will contact you for the fees and forms.

To China, you can take the DS-230 (also to be found under the link above), which you wife needs to fill out; if you take it back with you, it will speed things up. You, as the petitioner, will need to fill out the I-864 (affidavit of support).

Other than that, there's not much to do for the NVC. It might be a good idea though to help your wife collect the evidence necessary for the interview (photos, phone bills, and whatever else can be used to support your relationship).

Good luck!

Yes you could get her to fill out the DS-3032 agent form, also you could get her to do the DS-230 part 1, with a copy of the Bio page of her passport!!, the DS-3032 will be sent to her BUT if you already have a copy (as its sent to you too) you can write the case number in the top right corner of the form she has completed & mail it, this is what my husband did with the form i had already got ready!!............The DS-230 requires a barcode sheet for return but if you already have your wife fill out this form then as soon as you recieve the NVC copy you can add the barcoded sheet they have sent you, Thes are the only 2 forms your wife will have to fill out at NVC stage!
