No DV process not retroactive

I went to the USEM site, downloaded the instruction packet for IR/CR and, lo and behold, DV wasn't anwhere on it. I did look at the date on the packet and it was October 2008, just as MJ3LV said. I had downloaded the previous packet earlier and the DV requirement was there. Now, it isn't. And this is on the official USEM site. The marriage index is mentioned though, as well as anything and everything that you can provide to prove the you are who you are, your spouse is who he/she is, and that you do have an existing relationship which is authentic in every way.

BTW, requested a marriage index (though I have the one I got before we were married)...said it'll take 5 days minimum? Is this about accurate?

If you're getting it from Manila, that's already fast. Normally it's 7 days to 14 days.
