Hi all.

Just wanting to get my facts right about submitting the DS230.

We were planning to put the two in seperate envelopes but sending them in one package overnight to the NVC. That way they both get there at same time but they are also seperated as required.

Is this a good idea or is there a better way?

Best wishes to all

Richard

Moring Richard, There is no need for seperate envelopes as they will both have there own barcoded coversheet. Just make sure that each DS230 and its documents are attached securley together. I used a binder clip at the top of each application, I also put the photographs in a small ziplock bag.

When it comes to mailing it put both DS230's in the same envelope and mail.

Good morning Tay and many thanks for that.

I have all the documents in a clear folder with an easy release side clip. The photo's are in a clear acetate bag already!

Everything will now be in the same envelope. We should be finished packing by the end of August. Trying to give ourselves a clear run for September when it will start getting busy!

The clear folders will work just fine. You are right to be as ready as you can, there is so much to do in the final weeks before you fly over. Mom said she did not realize just how much they would have to do to get everything closed and final bills paid and new address info to everyone one who would need it.
