Well the i 864 is off and the assignment of me on the ds3032 is done. We are now working on the ds 230....very confusing to me.

She fills out the ds 230 and mails to me and I submit........right?

Then I mail to the NVC.........right?

What are the original documents that need to be submitted with this???????

Someone told me She needs her moms birth certificate??????? Her father is deceased.

Her interview will be in Manila.

Are there any documents of mine that need to go with the packet?

Do I have to have an interview also here in the states?

thanks everyone...wish us luck

Billy- You don't need to submit anything of yours with the DS230 unless they specifically ask you. If you are a USC by the N400 then you would've submitted that info with the I-864. You won't have an interview here, just her in the PI. If you can go, you should :) Good luck on the rest of your journey1 :thumbs:
