I called today but my case was not complete yet. :( But she did say that my AOS package was fine. I like NVC so much better than Useless Service from Citizen and Immigration Service.

Quick question before I send my DS-230 package.

I have one paper clip separating all the originals with ds-230 form (Do I have to staple DS-230 4 pages together) + 2 Pictures on bag/pouch on top attached and I have another paper clip that has all the copies of all the documents. all this I am sending tomorrow USPS Express for Monday delivery since they are close on weekend and please advise how you guys send out yours.

Thank You. Rmusic

Hi adinath521,

Why do you think you got RFE from passport office? I just want to know so i could also prepare myself for possible RFEs!!! hopefully none. but I'm so stressed out right now. NVC just received my AOS and IV packet. Now it's time for the longest wait of my life.

Best regards,

Got RFE for pcc from passport office as I expected.

Hi adinath521,

Why do you think you got RFE from passport office? I just want to know so i could also prepare myself for possible RFEs!!! hopefully none. but I'm so stressed out right now. NVC just received my AOS and IV packet. Now it's time for the longest wait of my life.

I had everything ready for DS230 except pcc from passport office. Instead of waiting I just go ahead and send DS230 without pcc. So, I expected that I will get RFE. While I was waiting for NVC to review my DS-230, my wife got pcc from passport office and she mailed me. I should get that tomorrow. As soon as I will get that pcc, I will mail that to NVC using RFE coversheet. [i find out about RFE from NVC operator.]

Do not worry. Make sure you send them following:

-Barcode coversheet

-2 passport size photographs

-DS 230 part 1 with signature

-DS 230 part 2 without signature

-Photocopy of biographic page of beneficiary's passport

-Original Birth certificate of beneficiary and copy

-Original Marriage certificate and copy

-Police Clearance Certificate from Distric and Passport office

If you send above items, then you do not have to worry. Give them about 10 days before you hear that your case is completed. If you missed any of above item, start collecting it.

PCC from Ahmedabad does take up to two weeks, I had same problem but it only took 8 days to get pcc from the AMD because they don't hand the pcc they will mail it to the address that is on the passport. Don't panic try to get everything to NVC before Nov 5 then you should have December interview.

I send my DS-230 package to NVC via FedEx on Saturday for 10:30 am Monday delivery because they guarantee it will be there by 10:30am and it was there at 10:27am so I am also hoping for December interview as well. Rmusic
