Hi there!

Two questions related to the I-130 Visa

1) Can my wife fill out a DS-230 form dowloaded from the USCIS/Dept. of State website and send it over to me in advance of the the DS-230 package being generated. I (husband) am her agent and was hoping to save time by having her signed form ready to send out when i get the DS-230 package. I was wondering if the DS-230 form they send has a barcode in which case I would have to send her the barcoded form to fill out and waste more time.

2) Can anyone who has recvd. a DS-230 package tell me what other forms are in there that needs to be filled?

Your help is appreciated guys!!

Yes, you can download the form and fill it in advance. In my case, there was just DS230 parts I and II that needed to be filled out, but you have to send some documents such as beneficiery's birth certificate, police certificate,... along with the forms as well.

good luck

Yes you can fill out the downloaded DS-230 and have your wife send it to you in advance...

Thats all you need to fill out for India...

You also have to send back the cover sheet for DS-230 and the biographic page of the passport of the beneficiary.
