:help: Question regarding the DS-260 and previous addresses since I was the age of 16. My Mum and I moved A LOT, she is now deceased and I'm not having any luck finding ANYTHING with the street addresses of the first two places we lived in Edmonton. :blink: I remembered the street name and even found the name of the townhouse units and apartment building we lived in. As for the actual mailing address, I have no idea. On the DS-230, all that was needed was City and Province so that wasn't an issue.

Does anyone have a similar experience? How did you fill this part of the DS-260? Any idea if it will be sufficient if I fill in the addresses as best I can?

Thanks so much!!

Hi there,

My husband received today the following email:

Please review your approval notice since it provides information regarding visa issuance.

Your petition to classify the beneficiary as an immediate relative of a United States citizen has been forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) and will be subsequently sent to the United States Consulate for visa processing. This completes all action by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on the petition. The U.S. Consulate, which is under the supervision of the U.S. Department of State, will advise the beneficiary concerning visa issuance. Inquiry concerning visa issuance should be addressed to the Consul or through NVC at the following address:

National Visa Center

31 Rochester Avenue, Suite 200

Portsmouth, NH 03801-2915

You may also send your inquiry through nvcinquiry@state.gov. The phone number for NVC is (603) 334-0700.

USCIS will not be able to answer any inquiry concerning visa issuance. Your case is now officially under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of State until it is returned to USCIS for further review.

Thank you.

What is the meaning?

I did not get it anywhere i was just asking...

Then yer brain is in overdrive and it needs to be stopped.

The best way to stop it? Shift Yer Endorphens.

How to Shift? 1 hour of exercise or 3 hours of manual labor at the farmer's co-op just outside of your town's edge.

Seriously - you need to shift, now or nowish.

Else you'll become a mental case, not good for anybody, anyone or anything. (ie - yer wife, yer boss, yer job)

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

When you email the documents, do you have to carry the original documents to the interview?

For EP casefiles, absolutely !

Yer homed to the UK, and London IV Does Not participate in the NVC Electronic Processing (EP) program.

What's up? Are you interviewing in Montreal, and forget to re-home yer VJ account? It displays the gorgeous UK Flag, currently, ya know ;)

I'm freaking out here, Today the U.S. CONSULATE GENERAL scheduled my wife's interview May 22, 2012 in only 4 working days in Hong Kong with no interview package with medical letter. This CONSULATE never reply's to emails of Faxes!

I want to scream! :ranting:

Well, that was today.

Guess what happens tomorrow?

The interview letter will be mailed out to the address in the DS-230

Good Luck!

The U.S. CONSULATE just mailed out my wife Interview Package today, 4 working days before her interview!

Sorry, I missed that part. OK LA - if she has the interview package already (God Can Move It)

then she just needs the interview letter in the package.

Otherwise - follow Saylin's advice - you have other documents (probably email ) that has the HKG casefile # and her bio data. Use That instead, go to the Medical, and plead a lot to get the medical intake and medical results within 24 hours.

GoGoGo !
