Confusion on DS-230

[jituusa 0]

Hey guys,

I'm thinking ahead a bit and im currently at the AOS step. I have a few questions which I hope could be answered

1)I chose to be the agent of choice for my wife in India. Since her signature is needed shouldn't she send the DS-230 with the documents to NVC?

2)I read in several places on the state dept website about sending original copies of civil documents and other places it says copies of originals. Which should my wife send?

3)To get PCC, do they require the original letter from NVC requesting for one? It takes a whole day standing in the line to get one of these and I guess we wanted to k ow in advance. People who have brought spouses from india esp from chennai might know this answer.

4)Should my wife wait till the AOS fee, form, IV fee etc is accepted to send the package (if she needs to)? It takes about 2 weeks for the package to reach NVC if sent from India.

Thanks guys, I dunno what I would do without VJ!

For question 1 its not DS-230 for choice of agent its DS-3032. Yes she needs to sign and date the DS-3032 and send it to NVC. You can email her the form DS-3032 when you receive it from NVC.

For question 2 read the steps on travel.state.gov (here,make it easy for you http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3190.html).

For question 3 (if the Passport office in ahmedabad its hard) read some forums about the ahmedabad PCC.

For question 4 after you have receive the invoice for Affidavit of Support pay the AOS fee $88 then print the coversheet then submit it with form I-864 (for more, read instruction on travel.state.gov) then after that you will get second invoice its for the IV $400, pay it print the coversheet and send the DS-230 package and civil documents.

Depends on you she can send the DS-230 package and civil documents from India or you can submit it from the US.
