my concern of mailing the DS-230 without instruction from NVC...

[godsgrace 2]

I submitted DS-230 with other required documents without waiting for the instruction from NVC to do so. I mailed it the same day I mailed the DS-3032 (choice of agent).

Today, I received an email from NVC the CHECKLIST and instruction for the next step. My concern is, the instruction says that I must include or use that bar code sheet

when submitting physical form, and my mistake was that I used the Document Cover Sheet for Affidavit of Support and also the instruction says that I must write clearly

my case number at the upper right hand corner of ALL documents which I failed to do. I hope and pray that they will consider all the documents I sent. Does anybody here

did the same thing I did? Thanks in advance for your input.

If you didn't wait for instruction and had no barcode coversheet, does that mean you submitted the package before paying the fee for the Immigrant Visa Application?

Either way, not following the correct procedures is a big no no and you're going to have to follow the instructions on the checklist in order to get everything sorted before NVC will process your application.

It's probably a good idea to give them a telephone call and ask them if you must resubmit all documents, or if you can just send the application with the barcode coversheet.

You mailed it at the same time as the DS3032? So it means you hadn't yet paid the IV fee. I'm afraid your package may very well be rejected and sent back to you.

You don't have to wait for the instructions email, but you DO have to wait until your IV fee is invoiced, paid, and payment cleared.

I would call and ask them what's gonna happen now.

And you wait until you can download the cover sheet that isn't available until after the fee is paid. The shortcuts work. Jumping the gun usually doesn't.

My husband paid the Immigrant Visa Bill today, and I sent the DS-230 last thursday.

I am willing to resubmit the DS-230 package if they're going to send it back to me. I know it's my fault.

how about you submit an entire new packet, with the downloaded barcoded coversheet? [that'll remove a bunch of silliness and waiting]

still must wait until the barcoded coversheet is available to be downloaded.
