hi cerene,

i dont see any problems securing the required docs in advance.

just be mindful that civil docs have limited time validity (police clearance with the shortest (6 mos)).

at any rate, police and nbi are quick to obtain. so it shouldnt be a problem. in my case it only took a day.

if you are renewing your passport (change to married name), you can do it as soon as you got your marriage contract. as you know, DFA changed their system.

original and a photocopy were submitted along with my ds230 :) hope this helps

thanks again perriteyl. so when the ds230 packet came, you mailed the required docs, directly to nvc? or did you mail it to your husband and he mailed it to nvc? please advise. sorry for too many questions.

i was a little unsure at first on who should send it, so I asked vj peeps and they said it doesnt matter who's sending it. I am the one who sent it (beneficiary).

we didnt wait for the ds230 packet. you can download the ds230 form. as for the barcoded cover sheet, you can print it when the IV bill has been paid.

hi malvika did you know about the expiration of f2a visa? is it true that it only takes 2 mos. because year2009 my husband visa which is f2b visa expires 4mos.

thanks

jaybie3, I really have no idea what is expiration of F2A visa. All I know is when anyone will be granted a visa the visa will have certain expiration date by when visa holder should travel to USA. Is that what you referring to? or else I haven't heard of expiring F2A visa. Anyone please explain if you know.

list / instruction on what to send with DS-230?

I would assume that the checklist is included in the packet they send containing the barcoded sheet once the IV bill has been paid. but the thing is they dont always send it. i guess it only happens to applicants who took longer to send their DS230. in our case, we didnt receive it.

as for the docs to be sent together with ds230, i referred to this site.

I think your original marriage certificate is hiding somewhere in the pile, I am sure they didn't bother to search it properly. Yeah you should call them and talk to the supervisor directly.

It's really a pain in a neck to obtain original documents once it is lost. There should be a way to track for the original documents we send to the NVC. At least they should mention what original documents they received with the package in their online portal system or they can also email us once they receive the package.

I think it's always a good idea to ask them what original documents were in the pacakge once they receive it.

Yes, just tell them that you had sent your original marriage certificate and they are not finding it and you would like to speak with a supervisor. They should pass you to supervisor then.
