Everything will be mailed to the USC petitioner during the NVC process. The Embassy/consulate mail interview packet to the foreign alien spouse, after NVC forwards the case to the Embassy/consulate.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

J-Boy,

I concur with simple_male. There needs to be a distinction between NVC and consulate communication. All NVC communication will come to the petitioner/Agent (which is recommended choice by NVC) in the USA and once file is transferred to consulate, all future communication for interview will be sent directly to the Applicant. I recommend to chose the petitioner or someone in family proficient in dealing with these matters as the Agent. This will allow reduced turn-around time for each document that will be requested by NVC. It also avoids lost mail that certain countries may be more prone to.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the reply,,My choice, since my wife and i are miles apart,is that she takes care of her documents,but i would like to pay the fees.The info on the embassy website is clearer than NVC website, so when my wife receives the DS-3032 and doen't pick an agent then she will receive what? DS230...and if i am the agent ,di i receive ds230 and fill it for her and then mail it to her to sign? They just should make the pdf live with a password. I'm getting confused again,,hahaha
