Guys,

There see me to be multiple addresses for NVC on internet.

Does anyone know where AOS packet ans IV packets should be sent?

Also, I have Employment letter with NVC this address:

Department of State National Visa Center (NVC)

32 Rochester Avenue,

Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909

- Should this be changed as well on Employment Verification Letter?

- We got our DS-3032 email accepted today. Do I have to mail DS-3032 form signed by Beneficiary in AOS packet now?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

The new address is given below. No need to change the address on the emp letter, as it was old address and still where NVC operates, so you are fine. The address will also be given in the Cover sheet with bar code that you will print after the fee is paid and the status of the payment is changed to PAID.

DS-3032 work is done, after it is accepted.

You will have to now logon to NVC payment website using your case number and Invoice Identification number (call NVC and get it, if don't have it).

The AOS fee bill might be waiting to be paid. Pay it and after 1 or 2 days, the status changes to PAID. Print the cover sheet with bar code and send the I-864 packet with that bar code.

Since your DS-3032 is accepted, in a day or two, you will see the IV fee bill also. Pay it and after 1 or 2 days when the status changes to PAID, print the cover sheet with bar code and send the DS-230 with this cover sheet.

Here is the link - check the sub-links "Fee bill instructions", "I-864", "I-864 Cover letter", "DS-230" and "DS-230 Cover letter" at the bottom and you will have all the information you need to complete NVC process.
