Hi Erica and Mark,

You will need to submit the form with an original signature so you can either drop it off or mail it.

Ok, thank you, JG&JB4L. Reason why I asked is because it actually says it on here, VJ under the Kinston Consulate info that it can be signed, scanned and emailed. and was update in 2009? Is that not correct?

Thanks,

Erica

Hello...I signed, scanned, then emailed our DS230 and it was accepted and followed by an email confirming receipt from the embassy.

Hi Garry and Ally,

I thought I read you could. Glad it worked for you! We will try it and maybe mail the origional one also as backup and take originol to interview. Hey I notice you live in USVI. I live in Virginia, but we are planning on getting married and honeymooning in St. Thomas, USVI so he will first come to Virginia on the K1 visa then we will fly to USVI a month or so later for the wedding/honeymoon obviously before we marry or he has EAD. Should we have any trouble doing that and making it back to the mainland, Virgia via Miami or Charlotte NC? Will they give him any problem entering USVI or leaving it? Or will will be fine since USVI is a territory of US? Thanks!!! Did you marry in USVI? We cannot wait!

Thanks,

Erica

Hi, we will be marrying in the USVI and you shouldn't have any problem entering as its a US territory. I would still mail a copy it...it won't hurt at all. Take care!

Live, Laugh, Love...

I've got a quick question about this. What is the e-mail address that you sent the DS-230 to? I assume that you sent it as a PDF file as well?

I am currently waiting to receive packet 3 and I want to be ahead of the game and cut as much 'slack' out of the process as I can. Thanks for the help.
