DS-230 RFE

[clairern 0]

Hey y'all;

Does anyone have any idea how long after the RFE is submitted to NVC, do they resume case review or complete. My RFE is for omitting one word from the DS-230 and I am sending the passport pictures before they send me another RFE. If everything is on order, does anyone know how long before "case complete?"

Maybe 2-3 weeks! I waiting for review to be completed....But looks like NVC is dealing with lots of RFEs....so anybody guess!

Just out of curiousity, what's exactly did you omit? Can you share this info?

Not trying to be nosy... Just worried that I might omit what you omitted. Worried that what you omitted is not something obvious.

Thanks.

No problem at all. I do not think you are nosey. I had stated it elwhere but here goes. On line #20 "address where he has lived and dates" He has lived at the same address since birth. I put in the date in the from field and since the to field was pre-programmed to only accept numbers, I was not able to type in "present" I was supposed to hand write the word and forgot. Hence I got a RFE for "imcomplete or missing info". Just go over your form line by line and make sure everything is completed. Do not leave anything blank , no matter how simple it may seem. I was obsessing over him not signing the police report he sent to me, as others told me he should have, so my focus was off. They, at the NVC, told me it was not required to be signed per their system. I was on a trip that day so...

Thanks. I ran into the same problem on line 20. I was thinking of just hand-writing it like you said. Now I know I SHOULDN'T forget it.

Thanks a bunch.

Clairern, I have a question? How did you get to know that you had an RFE? Did you wait for it to me mailed to you or did you call the NVC.

I had a reply when I e-mailed the NVC and I think I have an RFE also but I do not know what it is yet.

I was advised to call and talk to the NVC operator to know what missing doc or error that we might have with the docs submitted.

thanks and good luck!

I found out I had a RFE after I called the automated line and heard "..reviewed document and found info missing or incomplete..." I called late one night and spoke with an operator and was told Quest #20 was incomplete. I looked over my copy and saw the error. I was in shock, I almost cried, so mad at myself. It was then I was also told about the new requirement that 2 passport pics should also be submitted with the DS-230. Else I would have gotten another RFE

If you made copies of the forms you submitted with any enclosures, go over them and if it does not pop out at you, call and try to speak with an operator and they should be able to tell you. Make sure you have extra pics.

Good luck

Hey Claire.......It took us exactly two weeks to get a case complete once they received all information requested on the RFE...

Thank so much CLAIRERN for sharing this info. That's exactly the point I've ommited. I call to NVC operator and the lady told me I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR RFE TO SUBMMIT new DS230 - if I know something missing I should send this right away.

Hopefully your case will be rewiewd ASAP.

I wish all Happy Valentine' day. The last one without our SO .

Thanks for the V-day wish. Back at you

I don't know about submitting it before you get the letter from them because it comes with a barcoded sheet that must be returned with the new form and the Attn: line is different. You could go ahead and do as the operator said, but Have another form ready just in case. Also send 2 passport pics with the form with bebeficieries name and case number on the back. Good Luck

If you are gonna send it in use this address

Thanks again

About barcodes- we will generate(James' shortcut) them and will send with new ATTN. We submitted my pictures already.

They are asking for 2 passport sized pictures. Joyce called the NVC, spoke to the operator and informed her of that requirement.

Im sending the pics right away and hopefully, the case could be completed right away.

Thanks again!

...and like I suspected I got an RFE. I hope only for omitting in DS230 question 20 the "present" word.

I'm going to call on Monday to ask.
