IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!

OK so it's not all THAT exciting because it's just a baby goat. But it was my daughters goat that had a baby - two days early! I wasn't expecting to find a baby goat this morning when I went out to milk. My daughter has named her Rainbow. I'm not sure why she's on this "nature" kick but the two babies we had in February she named Star and Moon. Well, those are their "American" names, as she wants them to be French because her daddy (my SO) speaks French.

Also, started thinking about it and we need to add another F. So we have Fellow February Filer Friends. :)

I think you're all set. Make sure the NBI clearance is the right one. I think there are two kinds printed in different colors.

I've read in another thread that NVC normally schedules interviews during the 2nd week of the month--that's next week already for the month of May. I'm really hoping that our case will be completed at the end of this week so maybe we can score an interview for late June or early July. :unsure:

Thanks! :)

We submitted his NBI clearance and 5 local police clearances from cities and provinces he ever lived in since the age of 16.

As for the barcode choice of agent/address, he sent me the hardcopy that we received from NVC. You can also just email this to NVC. There's an email template somewhere that you can follow.

i am getting all confused now...so i dont have to make a barcode because my husband can send the DS 3032 and DS230 online? i just created the barcode according to lingche and bookmarked it...will NVC email it to my husband? i really dont get it. the thing is im asking him to send me all these documents so that i can just send it from here and when i read the ds 230 it said Place Case Barcode Strip Here Before Mailing to the National Visa Center thats why i created the barcode that was told to do from the ling che shortcut

I'm so sorry to confuse you. As soon as you have a case number, make sure to give your email addresses to NVC. They will process your case electronically from there on.

The DS-3032 (Choice of Agent/Address) is a bar-coded sheet that you will receive from NVC in the email. You can either send the hardcopy or ask your husband to email NVC that he is choosing you to be the agent.

As for the DS-230, your husband will need to download and fill out the form. Make sure he only sign Part I and NOT part II of the DS-230.

thats okay carlish, it was my fault too, i am understanding this process now as i am reading more from LingChe and the Wiki guide. thanks for letting me know though that we can have the DS 230 done thru email but will still ask my husband to send me a copy in case something goes wrong...

but it is good to know we can do these parts through email...
