CSC to TSC to NVC: the Saga continues

Thanks Saylin, Do I write by pencil or pen on back of the photos?

Either or. If you write in pen, make sure it doesn't leak through to the front. I used pen and just wrote very lightly.

Thanks everyone for the congrats...Have your ducks in line and you will fly through this process...

[Me and my wife 9]

I have another question. What should I put under line 2 "Other name used or if married , maiden name)? thanks

That depends. What have you been using as your last name on forms: married name or maiden name?

Make sure you print off the cover sheet from the payment portal and put that as the first thing.

Also, make sure the beneficiary's full name and date of birth plus the case number is written on the back of the 2 photos. And the 2 photos have to be 2" x 2".

Ensure only part 1 is signed on the DS-230. Part 2 cannot be signed.

Also include photocopies of the birth certificate and marriage certificate.

Everthing Saylin said and I will add what I did also...I used the cover sheet template on the VJ guide and put in my info, I put that after the IV Cover sheet, I also used removable labels and put Petioners full name and date of birth, Beneficiary's full name and date of birth, and the NVC case number on every piece of paper I sent them (except the cover sheets LOL)...Wishing you a fast journey through NVC

Make sure you don't confuse cover sheet and cover letter.

-Cover sheet is taken from the payment portal and has a barcode on it

-Cover letter is written by the petitioner/beneficiary

Saylin, have you checked other timelines to see how long it will be for them to notify you for interview? And do you know if they would email or snail mail the interview letter? Now my patience are gone I want my husband to have his interview tomorrow LOL

Yup, been looking at timelines for Canadians since last week when I got my CC. Here's some for Tunisia: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/k1list.php?cfl=0&op1=3&op2=d&op3=5&op4=1&op5=5,6,8,10,11,13,14,15,16,17,18,20,21,22,25,26,27,28&op6=All&op7=Tunisia&dfile=No

If you gave your email addresses over to the operator back when you first got the case number, then you'll be emailed the interview letter.

oops my bad I didn't use the word cover letter

Just didn't want you confusing other people

Sorry I have so many question. I thought I was prepared but I am hanging on each question. I do not want o get RFE.

Does everyone has the same requirement for submitting the documents? Do I need to include any other specific documents? Thanks

Mostly everyone has the same requirements. Some countries have other requirements, like India with passport clearance. Some beneficiaries have certain requirements, such as having a prior J1 visa and need to show proof of residency requirements. Those that are in the military have to send in a military certificate. Those that have been previously married have to send in divorce decrees. If none of this applies to you, then you're good.

Thanks Erick

You're welcome.

Hehe, thanks. A lot of people have been saying that lately But, unfortunately, the town my husband lives in is super tiny (only 25k people) with no law school, thus I wouldn't be able to become an immigration lawyer. It would be pretty cool though being an immigration lawyer!
