Oh gawd, I send the DS-230 and AOS packages on the 18th (seperate courier envelopes). On the 19th I went to work and someone handed me my passport photos out of the photocopier. I had copied the entire package the night before so I would have a record of what I sent, and I FORGOT THE PASSPORT PHOTOS. I immediately wrote a letter, and couriered it, with the pictures to NVC, explaining the misshap and asking them to match it up with my package. All 3 courier packages should arrive the same day, since it was sent afrter 5 on the 18th and at 10am on the 19th.

OH GAWD OH GAWD OH GAWD, please let them match up the packages and not send me an RFE.

It's not a total disaster if they don't manage to match it up and ask for RFE or send it back incomplete. It just adds time to processing. UGH.

Anyway, if this is the only hickup we encounter, so be it. :bonk:

Nope I didn't write anything on the back of my pictures, all that info is in the cover letter.....There are NO instructions that tell you to write that info on the pics.

I probabaly should have included the cover sheet again, but I didn't.

Oh well.

That's my hope as well, but I'm not holding my breath! LOL

Update:

So NVC got all 3 packages at once (I-864 / DS-230 / 2 PHOTOS). They must have matched up the DS-230 with the 2 PHOTOS because all I have got back is a checklist letter for the I-864 (have to send bank statements). Unless they havn't done the DS-230 yet - but I'm sure they have.

I must say I'm impressed with the NVC - they have been quick to process what we sent, helpful on the phone, and when they have sent letters in the mail, we are always able to get the letter emailed as well, so we can print it and send it all back right a way.......Here's to further speedy processing!!! :star:

Hope to be in America by xmas...... (L)

Hi Cindy,

Glad they matched up your photos with your DS-230.

I'm wondering why they want your bank statements - are you using assets? Just curious as if you are using income that would be unusual!
