NVC stage

[sachinky 465]

While we wait for our NOA2, I would like to get a head start on the next stage.

As the beneficiary, do I need anything else apart from the following?

DS-3032 completed and signed by beneficiary (ORIGINAL)

DS-230 completed part I & II and only signed part I by beneficiary

Marriage certificate

Police Certificate

Four (4) Passport size photos

Beneficiary’s passport biographic page (Photocopy)

Beneficiary’s birth certificate (Certified)

--Am I missing anything?

--And as I understand it, I have to send a photocopy along with the originals to the NVC?

--Do I mail it to my husband or directly to the NVC?

--Do I just download those forms and fill them out myself or wait till them send them to me?

Thanks for your response. =)

LingChe's short cuts will answer all your questions. It is a comprehensive step by step guide

As for sending it, you can do whatever is best for you. Perhaps compiling the packet now and sending it to the US might be easier and save more time

good luck.

not necessarily - you can download and print the form, sign it and send it to USC but after you get into NVC stage, USC will have to print the barcode for it and tape it to the DS-3032.

DS-230 completed part I & II and only signed part I by beneficiary - YES

Marriage certificate - original or certified copy (translated and notarized)

Police Certificate - original (translated and notarized) - and make sure by the time you send it to NVC that it will still have another 4-6 months to expire, usually PPC for most countries is valid for up to 6 months. you can check the reciprocity for most documents here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/reciproc...ocity_3582.html

Four (4) Passport size photos - 2.

Beneficiary's passport biographic page (Photocopy) - YES

Beneficiary's birth certificate (Certified) - and notarized

--Am I missing anything?

--And as I understand it, I have to send a photocopy along with the originals to the NVC? - yes, if you want the USEM to give you back the originals at the day of the interview

--Do I mail it to my husband or directly to the NVC? - whoever is chosen to be the agent according to DS-3032 (most of the cases it's the USC), so yes, send them to USC and he/she will mail the whole package to NVC.

--Do I just download those forms and fill them out myself or wait till them send them to me? - whatever works for you best (I downloaded them myself and filled them in and sent to USC before NVC stage started)

Thanks for your response. =)

As Canadian Wife stated you need to read the short cuts. You have two options for sending papers that NVC wants specifically they state: "The applicant and each family member who will accompany the applicant to the United States will need to submit original documents or certified copies of the documents listed in this section from an appropriate authority (the issuing entity)." So the photocopy of the beneficiary's passport page might not be enough. We got a certified copy of it from the Peruvian government and had no problems. If you send the originals then you can send a regular photocopy. I think the embassy will not return your originals when you go for an interview unless you send a photocopy at this point.

I recommend you send all your papers to your Husband in the United States as soon as possible because it will be cheaper, quicker, and easier for him to send the papers to the NVC when they are requested. Remember the shortcuts do not reduce time at the NVC but rather reduce time waiting for things in the mail. So if it's not sent quickly to the NVC some time can be lost.

If you want to get through the NVC the fastest then download these forms fill them out and send them to your husband.
