I just realized that I forgot to send a set of photocopies with the DS-230 Package of documents I sent in.

Has anyone not sent photocopies and gotten an RFE for this? or had no trouble?

I am wondering if I should overnight a set of photocopies or wait to hear from them?

many thanks for your input!

I called NVC this monring and they said they do not need the photocopies, just the documents. But I would still follow the directions to be safe!
